Dulce De Leche Bakery 55 W. Palisade Ave…read more Englewood, NJ 07631 House Cake When I opened the box, I immediately knew I was going to be in for a treat. In between the layers of cake are strips of dulce de leche with peach bits and cream. There is a crunchy meringue exterior and a garnished peach slice on top. It's not overpowering in sweetness and you'll definitely enjoy each bite. For the most part, I had a great time explorin' downtown Englewood. #housecake #dulcedeleche #dulcedelecheenglewood #palisadeave

Love that its a nice place to meet up with friends with ample seating. Everything looks fresh and…read morewith that many options, its very hard to choose what to get ! Lets start with the good, the cheese empanada was very cheese and with a lightly crispy/flaky crust. My daughter loved this! The caprese sandwich was warmed and so delicious! The chocolate mousse cup was light and airy with a crisp dark chocolate cup. One of the best mousse i have had! The cannolis my daughter loved . Now the bad... We ordered the mint lemonade for my daughter and found a bug in it ( like a fruit fly) as soon as it was brought to our table. When i took it back to the counter the lady just smiled at me and offered to replace saying she didnt "think" it was from the machine and just flying around. I told her it was unacceptable and would have been more upsetting had my daughter drank it. Then was given a light apology but thats all , which is so strange to me . Then i received the chai ( which at the counter i was informed could be made less sweet). It was overpoweringly sweet, when i took this back they said it was a premixed powder and already has the sweet mixed in ( very strange why i was told it could be adjusted then :/). Anyways, overall a nice clean place but check your drinks before drinking for sure . Loved all the food items we got though !

After spending $30 on un-edible cookies I wouldn't even want to walk by here…read more After dinner last night, my friend I decided to grab some sweets. The cashier was sweet and welcoming. J ordered a variety of cookies - red velvet, butter cream cheese and a crème brûlée. She also ordered a butter cream cheese cookie. Did we get the display cookies because both the red velvet and butter cream cheese were HARD AS FUCKKKKK. Like I never had a cookie that hard. I even tried cracking it on my kitchen counter and not a crumb fell off. I tried microwaving so that it can possible soften up - nothing. What the hell. I rather go ahead somewhere else. Trust me, this is not the spot. I'm still shocked at how hard they were.

However, what keeps me coming back is their high quality dairy-free gelatos. I am lactose-intolerant, so I am always looking for options that taste delicious and have the right texture. The coconut vegan gelato is my favorite! For those who can tolerate dairy, there are a wide variety of delicious-looking flavors. As I was sitting at an outside table, one of the owners greeted me... very friendly and welcoming. If you crave authentic Italian gelato, this is the place!

Now they even have Dubai Pistachio chocolate flavor !!! This time we had the Dubai Pistachio chocolate and Blueberry Creme Brûlée !!! One scoop each - total came out $12.34. And the scoops are not that big !!!!! Though we do come here occasionally, I am all for the soft serve at Grand Ice Cream .... All because I am a huge fan of soft serves than gelatos.

HAPPY NATIONAL BOBA DAY (4/30)! It only feels right to update my review of my go-to spot in the…read morearea. NJ doesn't have many great boba places, which is why I'm EXTREMELY grateful to have Tsaocaa nearby. I'm a regular, and the drinks are consistently amazing. I'm pretty picky--I only like drinks with a strong tea flavor that really pulls through. My biggest pet peeve is when they're too milky, overly sweet, or taste artificial. Tsaocaa absolutely nails it! The tea to milk ratio is ON POINT! One sip in, and I could tell they use high quality, premium tea leaves and fresh fruit ingredients. This is one of the few places that truly gets both milk AND fruit teas right! Over the past two years, I've worked my way through a good portion of the menu. You really can't go wrong with choosing any drink! There are so many options--milk teas, fruit teas, slushes, fruit mojitos (non-alcoholic), yogurt slushes, you name it. It's the perfect mix of classic staples and more creative flavors. My top two favorites are: *Passion Fruit & Lime Tea - Get this if you want something refreshing, tangy, and tropical. I get it with no sugar since the fruit already brings a natural sweetness. And they actually use real passion fruit seeds! *Brown Sugar Black Milk Tea - The black tea is strong and slightly bitter, but the creamy milk balances it out. They don't go overboard with the brown sugar--just enough to give you little sips of sweetness. *King of Milk Oolong Tea - I don't usually go for oolong tea, but this one's starting to win me over. I absolutely LOVE the deep, roasted flavor. I order mine with less ice and either the lowest sugar level or no sugar at all. The baristas hit the mark on the sweetness levels and make it exactly how I want. When you order 30% sugar, you really get 30%. For the true tea lovers, I recommend 30% or none at all if you really want that bold tea taste. The tapioca pearls are addicting--soft, chewy, and not crazy sweet. Their pearls have a natural amber brown color since they're made from sweet potato, without any added syrups or dyes. Most boba elsewhere is made from cassava root and then dyed artificially. Yes, it's on the pricier side--but I am SO willing to pay for the higher quality! They have a rewards program, so if you collect enough points, you can score free drinks! There's a lovely barista who's almost always there--she makes my drinks just right and quickly every time. I do wish there were more seating though. It's a small store with just a table and a few stools at a counter. They do have wifi if you're thinking of getting some work done. This location also has a full menu of popular Vietnamese dishes like pho, lemongrass grilled pork, vermicelli bowls, and banh mi. I've tried the banh mi, and honestly, I'd skip it. Stick to the bubble tea here! Tsaocaa is a must try for all boba lovers! Get your sip on! They even have a 1000mL bucket size! *eyes emoji* I have to limit myself to one drink a month... or I'll end up with a 9-month old boba belly.

Oh man, I so wanted these drinks to be a hit…read more Here is what we ordered in 500ml: - King of Oolong Milk Tea with boba - Sakura Oolong Milk Tea As soon as we saw the drinks we were like oooh no, why is it white? My son insist I taste both of them first. I put on a poker face because I wanted to see his honest reaction too. After he took a couple of sips he said, I don't want to finish it. In the trash it goes. I consider myself a hardcore tea lover. There was nothing Oolong about it. Not sure how the lady made it, if it's from powder or actual tea leaves but we absolutely could not detect any tea flavor, mostly water and sugar and the lingering aftertaste was NOT PLEASANT AT ALL. It was a long drive for us to get here. Do I regret it? No, because I am always willing to venture far for a boba tea experience. Can't win them all. I don't know if the high rating is for the drinks or the Vietnamese food they serve here. Tsaocaa is a chain and I will not be giving this one another chance. The first thing my son and I did when we got home was brush our teeth. Positives... - Friendly service. - The drinks are not as pricey as other boba shops. - I got to see how beautiful Englewood, New Jersey is. One star rating for the soft and chewy boba.

Their baguette is my all-time go-to. It's perfectly crisp on the outside and so moist inside. A must-try if you haven't had it. The New Jersey location is different from SoHo. It's smaller with no seating, but it's a huge bread factory where you can actually see people making fresh bread and pastries. The smell alone is amazing. Lots of people stop by for coffee and pastries, just like I did. Totally worth it if you're a bread lover.

Their cannele is probably the best you can get in the neighborhood. Right amount of sweetness. Soft texture. $4.50 each. Other than the pastries, I like their regular breads, loaves, short breads.

Francy's seems to be in their "viral" era still --- and for good reason. Upon entering, I saw a good number of people in the shoppe, and a plethora of traditional flavors --- and then the "inspired" flavors. Check my menu photo to see their options. For myself, I got the half/half --- which is two small scoops that comes out to 8 dollars and change (a bit PRICEY but I get it). For my two flavors, I got the Mango Graham and the Dubai Chocolate. Mango Graham is inspired by the Filipino dessert, Mango Float and it was delicious! Icy, creamy, fresh-tasting, and with that bit of graham --- it hit all the notes. The Dubai was amazing as well --- all those little chuck of the kataifi going through it. It wasn't "pistachio" foreword, which I appreciated. It was a delicate combo of pistachio and chocolate. Totally get what the hype is for. Even if you on the fence, try Francy's simply out of curiosity. You won't be disappointed.
