My friend's hot chocolate was also excellent - rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I spent a good five minutes just staring at the display case, especially the pistachio cake and lemon cheesecake. I'll be back for a full pastry run soon!

Although the area around Lee Sims looked a little rough around the edges, the chocolate store itself was cutely decorated for the holidays with chocolates and Christmas decorations in the store front window. As for chocolates, Lee Sims had a huge variety. In the end, though, I chose a box of 36 chocolates and a box of roasted nuts. Each of the chocolates was fantastic and the nuts were salted and roasted to perfection. Highly recommend this local chcolatier if you are in the area.

Service is always friendly and it's a town favorite! Their long history in Bayonne is a true testament to the quality of their chocolates and their commitment to the local community.

Came here on a Saturday, it was very quiet with just a very nice girl working. I had ordered the…read moreVanilla Petit square and a macchiato..they only serve hot drinks in the winter I was told, and so I couldn't order a cold iced coffee drink. When walking inside I had very much liked the interior as it was pretty cute with the clear chairs etc. Everything was served in very cute fine china. We sat against the wall where there was a table with a cute brown couch chair. As for the petit square, it was very sweet. It's a very small cake type of desert. If you don't like sweet things I wouldn't recommend ordering these! I found it to be quite delicious:)

Decided to drop by this place. Got a Babka and a baguette. The Bobco was very good and soft and a…read morenice chocolate goodness. The baguette was OK. It was a little on the thin side. Had a good, slightly sour taste in a good way. No one else was in the place when I went in early and I think they were just opening as a place was still a bit dark. One thing that I think would elevate their offering is to actually keep the pastries and baguettes warm. There's nothing like a warm baguette in the morning to hit the spot.

The ambiance and overall service was great. The staff was nice and the people sitting around were…read morerelaxed and chatting. Speaking of the two pastries I got, they weren't really good. The almond croissant was one of the worst ones I ever had. The filling was accurate but it was very hard like biting into a stale baguette. It must've been just old. I still finished it after wetting it and reheating it to get some moisture in but I was upset that I needed to do that. The apple caramel tart was fine. The filing was yummy but the tart crust was so thick and overpowering. Felt like I was eating 70% biscuit and 30% filing. I can't comment on the other food items or drink items because I didn't have them. But I recommend not get the almond croissant.

Stopped into Nuts Factory because my friend loves getting cashews from here. Unfortunately we were…read moredisappointed and did not end up getting anything from here. The nuts looked like they were not fresh, and the Dubai ones were not the best looking. I am not sure if we went on a bad day or if that is the usual quality of the nuts.

Do you want to take a trip to an exotic destination but you don't have the cash, well the Nuts…read moreFactory offers all the exotic you could hope for. The Nuts Factory offers so many nut varieties and flavorings, it is difficult to choose which combination you want. Aside from the candy selections, they offer herbs, spices, coffee roaster, dry fruit and tea mixes. Turkish baklava caught my eye as did the tiramisu flavored pecans. Yes, I'm a sugar addict. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. Yes, this is a gourmet shop offering top quality products that are not easily found in one location. Prices reflect that to some extent. They carry dark chocolate Dubai dates in an orange tin for $24.99, almond halva $7.49 for a 1/2 lb,, Indian Chai Tea infusion for $12.49 1/2 lb, and Macadamia nuts $14.99 1/2 lb,. The store is super clean and well organized, so inviting. The staff is super-friendly and accommodating.

So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

I watch this sandwich being made and was weary that all items were cut on a cutting board with no paper underneath. When I inquired about cross contamination they responded they don't cut meat on it.
