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!

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.

Legitimately the best spot for ube desserts in Hoboken easily! Was kinda confused of the location…read moreat first since their store front looked different on Google Maps. Super small spot but looked like a professional bakery lol. Staff was very kind and we basically had one of each ube item they had on the menu. Everything was delicious and you can tell it was fresh ingredients only. They're quite popular already so if you haven't tried them out I'd highly suggest doing so!

Ordered: Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.75)…read moreBanana Pudding Cookie ($4.25) Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie ($4.75) Ube (Purple Yam) Cookie ($4.25) Brownie w Chocolate Chips ($3.50) Aya's take: I tried Baking Mama for the first time at Hey Coffee People (also in Hoboken) and have been meaning to check out their actual bakery for a while now. It's super tiny inside and only 3-5 people can comfortably stand to order. We got a few cookies and were on our way! Their cookies are all in the ~$4 range which is pretty fair for these specialty flavors and good quality cookies. My favorites in order were the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie, the Banana Pudding Cookie, the Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie, and lastly, the Ube Cookie. The Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie was gooey, sweet, and decadent in all the right ways. I'm a sucker for banana so I very much enjoyed the Banana Pudding Cookie. You taste actual banana! This is 10x better than the one Magnolia Bakery has! The Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie had a gentle bitterness/umami flavor that was offset by the sweetness of the white chocolate chips. The Ube Cookie was also good but surprisingly the ube didn't shine through as much here. All in all, you will not have a bad bite here and it's all a matter of preference. So glad I finally stopped by!

The croissant bread is quite nice. Super chil vibe.

It was a lovely small portioned treat to feel less guilty I had crushed walnuts I added on the side from my personal stash at work the place seems to be a nut free topping kinda palace but they have some fun unique flavors. I can't speak for the service as I wasn't there but my coworker didn't complain. I will say the cookie tasted great. I also tried their magic bar a small bite very sweet but quality ingredients fyi. The cookies tasted fresh baked, nice thickness.

Longstanding classic place to get authentic macarons in the city, their origination is in France…read moreand I first tried them there several years ago; glad to report that the quality has remained the same and love that they're still getting business.

In my book there is no wrong time to try some gelato so in I went. This place boasts authentic Italian gelato. They feature many gelato options including: Sea Salt Caramel, French Vanilla and Strawberry Milk Snow which I decided to try. The gelato is creamy, an explosion of flavor and fabulous to the last spoonful. It was over $9. I also noticed their large selection of macarons which were a little bit larger than an Oreo but the filling was twice as thick. They offered pistachio, tiramisu, matcha tea, creme brulee and coconut as I remember. The desserts I tried were great but pricey.
