What an incredible bakery! Everything I have tried has been delicious, great coffee, excellent service. We shared a baguette with ham and brie - they heated it up for us without us even asking. You will wait in line with the Ridgewoodians at peak times - just know that you are in for a treat! read more

After doing a long run near by, I decided to treat myself to a breakfast as Sook Pastry. I can definitely see the potential for this place to be packed on the weekend--so many delicious offerings! I had a latte and their duck fat bacon, egg and Gruyère sandwich on a croissant. Oh my word, this hit the spot! The bacon was especially crispy and the croissant was simply divine. I decided to bring home a chocolate almond croissant for the next morning. Slightly disappointed that I was given an almond croissant instead (which was terrific), but I suppose it's a good reason to go back and try some more amazing baked goods. read more

Pastries are delectable. I love sitting and having a tea and pastry pretending I'm in Downton Abbey. I've been here a few times with my girlfriends and just sat in the outdoor seating (in the fall) chatting and sipping on a warm drink. The pastries are a little pricey but fresh and very much worth it. Their tarts especially are a favorite of mine (love the berries or the banana). Cute cafe and gave nice sweet and homey Hallmark cafe energy. There are two "rooms" the other is dedicated to chocolate (which I recommend also!) read more

I LOVE this little nook. On a chance visit to NJ, we stopped by this absolutely lovely place. From the outside, it looks like a small hole in the wall with lots of little tables and people crammed into the space. But you should know that if there are a lot of people stuffed into a little shop, it's about to be a 10/10. So with mild expectations, I stood in line as we perused the cases with their creations of pastry. These were some of the cutest and vibrant colors I had seen in a pastry shop. I was super impressed to learn that the owner was an Asian woman who had studied under prestigious patisseries and was pretty well known in the neighborhood. I actually was even more impressed when I saw her behind the counters, putting together customer orders or bringing out coffee to the floor. We ordered the cappuccino and a couple of pastries and let me tell ya. The pastries were devoured long before we even touched our coffees. I didn't even have a chance to get a photo of those. And the coffee? Fabulous. I wanted to have another cup but I had to leave to travel. This place is definitely jam packed, but they have beautiful pastries and delicious coffee. The ambience is great, the staff is so accommodating, and I just loved being in that space. 10/10 recommend stopping in to enjoy the buzz in the air. read more

My friend who is local to North Jersey recommended this place and it was fantastic! Their little chocolate and fruit cakes were so rich and tasty. Their chocolate moose especially was so light and creamy, I loved it! We ate those for dessert and then we had a bunch of other pastries for breakfast the next day. My favorite was the chocolate croissant. We heated it up a little just to get the inner chocolate melted and it was perfect. I would definitely get treats from here again! read more

I've always like making a pit stop here whenever I'm in Paramus which is next town over. Love all their pastries/cakes. Ive also had their Duck rillete crepes a few times and my fave, last few times no one could make cuz maybe the time of day? Finally got it this time, was excited but was disappointed! It's usually filled with duck confit with cornichons and caramelized onions but got tons of regular sliced pickles instead and could hardly taste the onions. Regular pickles and cornichons has distinct flavors and shouldn't be used as a substitute with this recipe. Not sure what happened, ran out? Saving $? I was bummed esp paying with same price. Luckily I did have cornichons at home to swap (I know!) tasted sooo much better. Don't think I'll get again if thats the new recipe. Other than that, Flan was Ok, I really enjoyed their Orange Almond brioche and Hillside entremet. read more

SO DELICIOUS!!!! Swung by this place this weekend since my boyfriend and I were craving a dessert after our dinner. When you walk in the place, it's very cute, nicely decorated and very homey! There were many tables offered which was nice to see however the best part was how late they were opened. It's so rare to find a pastry shop that's open until 10 pm especially a good one :) I was craving something fruity and the Tropical Tart REALLY HIT THE SPOT 1000%. Every fruit was SO fresh, it was really sweet and not sour at all, I truly enjoyed each bite of this tart! They really didn't hold back on the fruit, I mean it was LOADED with fruit (better for me :) lol) I even bought one for my mom and sister to try before trying it myself because I had a feeling it was going to be really good. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth! If you're in the area I would definitely recommend trying this place out. I would give it a 5/5 rating and would definitely come back again without a doubt! read more

I'm surprised I've never reviewed Sook, shame on me! I've been visiting for years and I must say, it's one of the best Pastry shops around. Sook has definitely built a name for itself in the heart of Ridgewood. I've seen a bunch of Pastry shops come and go but Sook is here for the long run. I've been fortunate enough to visit Paris and Sook has definitely matched the Parisian vibe. Small, delightful and has a bit of charm. Tables are crowded around outside also to enjoy your pastry and coffee. Prices are quite fair for the goods they make in house. I've tried almost all of the items on the menu and I can't say that I didn't enjoy it. I always tell myself that I'm going to try a new Pastry shop around but I always find myself back here! Now I'm honestly craving the Ridgewood, that's always a classic. read more

History

Established in 2011.

Sook Pastry is a French bakery / pastry shop that opened in the Historic District of Ridgewood, NJ on March 15, 2011, by 3 Alumni of the Legendary Payard Pâtisserie of the Upper East-Side.

Meet the Business Owner: Keum-Sook P.

Sook began her education in high school, apprenticing in Seoul's finest bakeries and patisseries. While learning the craft, she was fascinated with combining pastry styles and flavors from different cuisines. She then went on to New York for technical education at the French Culinary Institute (FCI) and the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE). After graduating, Keum-Sook worked at the famous Payard Patisserie & Bistro in Manhattan and continued specialty training in sculpting, sugar confectionery and chocolate with world-renowned chefs at the Center for Advanced Pastry Studies. Keum-Sook served as personal pastry chef at a number of private kitchens in the Hamptons, while developing her brand 'Sook Pastry'. She sees 'Sook Pastry' as an opportunity to share her passion of pastry and baking in a comfortable, community oriented setting, while maintaining her independence and creativity.

Do they run out of things fast? Specifically, the pastries, i.e. fruit tarts, fruit eclairs, small cakes, that are on display. I plan to visit in the late afternoon.

I've been during weekdays very late and during weekends late afternoons and they always had a lot of things. They are open until late so I guess they plan to have stuff all day long.

It has a rainbow-like appearance. Rocky Road: This ice cream inspired cookie is loaded with marshmallows and chopped almonds. Think of it as a moist, warm version of the classic treat. S'mores: Why purchase marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate when all you need to do is buy this cookie? It is identical to the real deal and you will definitely want "s'more." Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter: If you are fan of peanut butter cups, you will admire this specialty cookie made with cocoa and packed with peanut butter chips. Be sure to turn the box on its side and follow the simple instructions about re-heating the cookies in the microwave or oven. Thank you Store Manager Chrissy for welcoming me into your shop and introducing me to a diverse selection of phenomenal treats! #ChipCity #chipcityridgewood #chocolatechip #eastridgewoodave #confetticookie #cookiesncreamcookies #darkchocolatepeanutbuttercookie #smorescookie #rockyroadcookies #6boxspecial

Cookies this expensive should be a sin... Eating them should be a bigger sin... a sin that I'm…read morewilling to commit over and over again. Chip City specializes in baking cookies with a soft, gooey center. After drooling over photos online, I decided to treat myself one night. The store is located on a main street in Ridgewood, so it's street parking only. When I walked in, I couldn't get over how cute and bright the store was. To whoever is in charge of the marketing, design, and logos... kudos to you! A sweet employee (I think her name was Chrissy?) answered all my questions and helped me out. Since I came later in the evening, I was worried there wouldn't be too many cookies available, but I was wrong. There were plenty AND they were still fresh too! They offer classic flavors as well as seasonal and artisanal ones. So many unique and creative options! They also have mini ones and thin ones (with less calories). Flavors are rotated weekly and you can check the website for the line-up. Each cookie is $5.50, but trust me... they are dense, large, and can be shared with other people. I decided on the 3 Box Special ($14.50) and got... *Italian Rainbow - MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ONE! It's a tri colored almond cookie filled with raspberry jam and topped with dark chocolate ganache. The almond paste was so rich and the sweet jam was the perfect touch. A MUST TRY! *Chocolate Chip - A yummy classic. How could you go wrong with a brown sugar cookie with dark chocolate chips? *Fluffernutter - The description made it sound better than it tasted, so this was my least favorite out of the three. It's a vanilla sugar cookie with peanut butter chips filled with marshmallow cream. The peanut butter overpowered everything else. I feel like this would work better with a chocolate cookie. What I love about these cookies is that they don't just taste like a giant blob of sugar. You can actually appreciate and distinguish between the different flavors and ingredients. If you like crispy/crunchy cookies, you probably won't be a fan. If you enjoy cookies with a slightly crunchy exterior, but a soft, ooey, gooey (almost raw-like) interior, Chip City is for you!

This place is popping, and for good reason. The servers are quite attentive and always present so it's not hard to flag someone down if you need something. I noticed they were also quick to clear trash (like straw wrappers) from the tables frequently. The food is also really good - i recommend the k-chicken & waffles and the lemon ricotta pancakes w blueberry compote. They also have lots of fun drinks (both coffee/tea-based and fruity refreshers). Parking might be a bit difficult but if you're lucky you might find an open spot on the street right outside. Otherwise, there's a lot nearby as well.

On a Saturday evening, we ventured in for a sweet treat and it was thankfully pretty quiet. They have a good selection of different flavors like guava cheesecake, black sesame and various teas. We enjoyed the saffron kulfi (almond, pistachio, cardamom) and cookies and cream (blue tinted which didn't seem necessary). The server gave us a nice big scoop for $5.99. In addition to ice cream cakes, they sell signature sundae type things that you can customize and likely friendly to the camera but not to your wallet. There's a good amount of seating towards the back, which is nice since most ice cream shops are small. There's also a location in Hoboken. Looking forward to returning!

Choose your own ice cream with the egg waffles. Yumms and shared by 2 oldies.

We went there for my birthday. All the staff knew it was my birthday and they also knew that I was eight months pregnant and wanted to make sure that I was comfortable. The food was exceptional. The wait staff was so nice and provided recommendations while not pushing any one dish. We got the focaccia, softshell crab, Peking duck and chicken liver for appetizers. The softshell crab was the best I've ever had, and I would come back to this restaurant for this alone. The Peking duck was juicy and tender with the most incredible slaw type salad underneath it. The focaccia with the butter was also phenomenal, the owner actually brought it out to us and we had a nice conversation with him and you can tell he just poured his heart and soul into this restaurant. The focaccia is definitely not an appetizer to be overlooked just because it is bread. While I couldn't have any of the chicken liver mousse, it looked stunning, and my husband said that it was incredible and so light and fluffy, and it was a massive portion. I look forward to when we come back when I'm not pregnant and I can eat it. For dinner I got the Arctic char, and my husband got the pork. The Arctic char was unbelievable. It was piping hot and literally just melted in my mouth with each bite and the side that came with it was a mix of asparagus, mushrooms, farro and I don't know what else, but it was fantastic if I could have that side on its own as well, I would order more. My husband's pork was crispy and delicious with another incredible slaw topping, and it was so massive he has to take home like a third of it for dessert. We had the lemon meringue tart for dessert, which was also incredible and so refreshing for a dessert. All of the food was outrageously fresh and just outstanding. This restaurant is our new favorite place and on the way out we even made a reservation for three weeks from now to come back. This is probably the best restaurant that I've eaten at in Ridgewood hands down and I'm so glad that they are in the area. The restaurant adds a new vibe with food that is so phenomenal to match. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area as a MUST try. Of course me and my husband will be going back in a few weeks and we can't wait.

Felt very rushed; the hostess ( not our waiter) came and took my plate without asking me if I were finished or not; I had to tell her that I was still eating my dinner! Also, they serve you popcorn to nibble on while you're waiting for your dinner? Felt like we were in a movie theater or a bar/ grill!

The line was fairly long when I visited, but it moved quickly thanks to the efficient staff. This time I tried the Georgia Peach ice cream.

Even so, Kilwins delivers exactly what you'd hope for: quality ice cream, a great atmosphere, and plenty of tempting treats beyond just the frozen desserts. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more flavors.
