I recently ordered a birthday cake and I wanted It to be as dye free as possible. White writing, roses and only one layer of chocolate in the middle the other was buttercream. The bottom I asked for a ring of rainbow sprinkles. When I got the cake I was amazed at how pretty It was!!! You could easily read the writing and the taste was incredible. The cake was fresh and was absolutely delicious. I will always recommend Mills. They have never let us down. I highly recommended the dye free look. The photo doesn't do It justice.

Very rich with a lot of candied fruit in the filling and an outstanding crust. I know they specialize in crumb cake which is also top notch here but they don't disappoint with other items. Back to the crumb cake, don't leave here without it if you haven't tried it. It's excellent. They have been in business forever, the service is good and bakery is nice. Whenever I'm in the area I will stop here.

Looking for a sweet escape? The Hackensack Pastry Shop is a delightful destination in Hackensack…read more Satisfying my sweet tooth turned into a delicious adventure with a cannoli filled with chocolate chips, a mini chocolate eclair, and a mini pear pastry. As an Italian American, I truly appreciate their fresh cannolis filled to order--a creamy dream come true. Everything on display was tempting, and the blend of Peruvian pastries with Italian favorites was a culinary duet that hit all the right notes. The staff were incredibly friendly, adding to the experience. If you're in need of a little pastry therapy, this is the spot. Remember, a balanced diet is having a pastry in each hand.

Athens Bakery 161 Cedar Lane…read moreTeaneck, NJ 07666 Hamantaschen (triangle cookie) Baklava Cheese Danish Brownie Chocolate Eclair Spanakopita (spinach pie) Before I get to the fantasic, let me briefly warn you about one item on the menu. Order the triangle cookie at your own risk. I couldn't acquire a taste for it, let alone finish it. Do not let this one pastry discourage you because you won't have issues with the other desserts. Each sweet dish is perfect in texture and packed with the perfect amount of filling! When you see the inside of the baklava and danish, you'll know what it mean. If you aren't in the mood for a dessert, try the spanakopita. It's crispy, flaky outer texture filled warm spinach will keep you satisfied every bite of the way. It tastes just as good even when it's re-heated in the oven! The pie isn't available purchase until late morning. Seating is very limited, so be expected to order your goods to go! This local bakery is highly recommended and the owners are just as pleasant as their dessert! #athensbakery #teanecknj #cedarlane #spinachpie #baklava #spanakopita #brownies

I took my daughter and her friend to pick up some dessert on our way to a nearby restaurant. From the moment we got inside the shop, the owner was so friendly and welcoming. He provided the girls samples and they loved the rugelach. We grabbed a box of chocolate and raspberry flavored ones and a slice of the carrot cake. I tried the rugelach and carrot cake after dinner and loved them both. The rugelach had a nice depth of flavor to go along with the decadent texture. The carrot cake was tender and avoided the cloying sweetness that others are guilty of. Awesome dessert!

I was looking for a place that did custom cakes so I could order a 'pizza' cake for my daughter's…read morefirst birthday. I found Veriella's and sent them a few photos of what I wanted and they gave me quotes that were significantly cheaper than other similar bakeries in the area. For a 25-person cake, they said the lead time would be about two weeks. They have several cake flavors/fillings to choose from (some cost extra) and we went with a lemon cake with blueberry filling. It was such a good combination - everybody loved it and the cake came out on point to the picture I sent them. Communication was easy (via email). We actually ended up going into the bakery the day before pick-up because we decided to do some last-minute party favors with some Italian cookies. We got a bunch of rainbow cookies, sprinkle cookies, and a raspberry filled one. Unfortunately, these missed the mark. They tasted old and I'm pretty sure they order them from elsewhere because of the cardboard trays/plastic wrap they were wrapped in. I wouldn't come back for these but the next time I need another custom cake, I would definitely order from them again.

Each and every time I drove past I'd make a mental note that the next time I was in the area I'd…read moredefinitely stop by to check them out. (This went on for years, I'm sorry to admit.) Then - thanks to a mix of happenstance and holidays - I actually made it inside. After a few visits I can report that... It's tiny. The menu leans dessert/sweets heavy. They do have a small selection of breads and rolls. They have a savory/sandwich section (which I've yet to try). The offerings behind those glass cases look mouthwateringly enticing, the few items we've ordered (from semolina bread to carrot cake to their apple turnovers) have all been mighty delicious. How can you not be enamored by items like their (seasonal) personalized Easter Bundt cakes?! (Who even knew that petite Bundt pans were even a thing?) Veriella's location (just steps from a ridiculously busy intersection) makes finding a parking spot challenging, to say the least. Pricing is fair. The workers have all been awesome (friendly and accommodating). We're fans for sure.
