Krystal Bakery - Cupcakes with the horrible decorating

I was on a Cinderella sole seeking journey for a glass slipper of a cruller I had at friends Easter…read moredinner. Afterwards, I asked where the crullers came from. The hosts were not sure but gave me a couple of suggestions to dogbird down. Not knowing exactly where those yellow brick road crullers came from I started an odyssey of Homeric proportions to lay my palate once again on those waking dream epicurean delights. Crispy on the outside, soft as an angel's kiss on the inside. Epi-f'ing-Curean. On this particular Thursday, a couple of weeks ago, at 3 o'clock post meridian eastern daylight savings time I walked into a small bakery with a hand painted tri colored map of Italy on the door. I carefully inspected the display cases and found crust nor crumble of the fabled cruller that had been haunting my taste buds for a fortnight and a half. The woman behind the counter insisting what I was seeking was a zeppole, and they were only available on Sunday mornings. She advised I would need to come early. I explained I knew the difference between a cruller and a zeppole, but she Insisted that was the treasure I sought. They did not make "crullers". She heard the thud of my spirit hitting the floor. She tried her best to assuage my crumpled morale. This was the edge of the map on this quest for me. Nothing but badlands and the unknown laid beyond the doors of this last stop. She told me to call early on Sunday and she would save some zeppoli for me. In an effort to ease the feeling that Oz was nothing more than a feverish dream I had imagined, I lugubriously requested a black and white to help absorb my tears on my journey back to Kansas or exit 117, whichever arrived first. Then, in a moment of divine providence, a single ray of sunshine shone on a lone Boston creme beckoned to my inner child. I took the donut, unwrapped, back to my car. As I bit into the donut the frozen poppy fields thawed instantly. My technicolor Judy Garland moment was thrust upon me with all the glory if a man rescued for the raging sea. As with any worthy sojourn, the darkest hours of dejection gave way to my inner munchkin starting a helium laced song of joy. The cruller quest faded into the glory of the erstwhile denoted technicolor moment. This donut was worthy of a chapter in "Como agua para chocolate". The frosting as alive as the ocean itself with its tips soft and gently floating across the top. The pastry as flaky as The love child of Gary Busey and Axl Rose (no disrespect to the pastry). The creme inside still awash in the afterglow of the love that went into mixing the filling to perfection. Since that moment, I became an apostle of Krystal's. A devoted, driven donut disciple. Making sure all within earshot knew of the joy that laid within travelling distance. If this were the end of the tale it would still be a fulfilling one. That said, it was only the beginning. This morning, at 7:30 Ante Meridian Eastern Daylight Savings Time, I convinced my 10 year old sidekick (one Max S...just max, not Maximus nor Maximilian) to come with me to a land he would not soon forget. I promised delights that would change the way the angels pronounced "Hallelujah". That he would be insisting on recounting (for the most inumerable of times) thismorning. Telling his grandchildren tales of this day, even as they begged him to recite 'Twas the NIght Before Christmas' at midnight on December 25th in 2050. As we entered the bakery, 3 minutes after they opened, the pastry section laid bare before our eyes. In a rare, for me at least, fatalistic moment I feared I arrived too early. The woman behind the counter sensing the tears welling in my eyes assured me more delight was coming out. At that moment, her husband appeared with trays of donuts. Exquisite donuts worthy of compare with the cocoa and pearls Montezuma prepared for the bearded gods he awaited. Not exactly the best metaphor if hindsight is to be considered, but this is a tale of dreams. Of Glory. One that does not end in despair and destruction. One that ends in promise and light. In love. In one simple word, one that ends in carbs. Sometimes carbs, aren't a bad word. OK, I am getting sidetracked. the bottom line is that this place is amazing. Simply A-f'ing-mazing. The story doesn't end there either though. In the corner of one of trays laid the tenderest of feet (metaphorically, of course). Yes, the fabled 'cruller'. I was surprised, and i recounted to the woman my trip for just a few weeks ago. She gently smiled, like i was a crazed person, and softly said "You need to come in tomorrow. We have Zeppolis. Come early. I will put some to the side for you." True Story. Post Script: Not only were there crullers and boston creme (Oh My!) there were also chocolate filled (and like almost chocolate pudding..for realz) and jelly donuts that would make the gods themselves send their minion to Sayreville on a Sunday morning. 9 donuts + 3 Crullers = $11!!

This would be my 3rd time ordering and all I have to say is never again!!!!! The first time I let…read moreit slide and didn't order again until 2 yrs later and this last order was 2yrs from my second order. Thought I'd give them a try again but I know better now. I contacted the store to order 1.5 dozen cupcakes for my 6yr old birthday party which the order was very simple. Plain vanilla cupcakes with less vanilla buttercream (cause it's for small kids) piped with a round tip and topped with sprinkles. I thought choosing to opt for a bakery over going to shoprite I would've gotten freshly baked cupcakes but these cupcakes were horribly done with both taste and appearance. Firstly by just looking at the cupcakes the piping were all flattened and didn't even look like it was piped, when I got home, I decided to repackage them into individual cupcakes holders for each kid and when I picked them up they were all cold and hard and they were burnt and dark on the edges and bottom. I didn't think anything of it at that point cause the bakery had it stored in the fridge before I picked it up and I had no order choice but on the day of the party which was next day, I took them out the fridge which I had it for a few hrs and people still said that the cupcakes were cold and hard. For Valentines as well I stopped by the shop and bought cookies and they tasted horrible and stale. My 4 & 5 yr old threw them out. The quality and appearance is a no from me and I know now that I will never be ordering from her again.

I've recently gotten in to the habit of buying cookies and boxes of assorted pastries, to give out…read moreas gifts, to my customers at Sipos. I also grab Bagles, horns and doughnuts for the people in my office, that support me. Both my customers and my support team deserve more than the chain store donuts. I've also enjoyed their egg sandwiches and deli sandwiches (with a cup of freshly brewed coffee) from time to time. I've always received exemplify service and the product has always been fresh and reasonably priced. It's nice to walk in to a business to spend money and not be treated as an interruption to their day. Last week, I ordered a birthday cake for my wife there. I ordered a specific filling, a specific icing as well as specific colors and decorations on the cake. When I went in to pick it up at the end of the day, the cake was beautiful! Most importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious. My family all commented on how good the cake was. You could tell that it wasn't frozen, (like so many bakery's cakes are). The balance of cake to filling and fasting was perfect. My wife spent 12 years working in a bakery when she was younger so, she rarely has anything good to say about cakes, cookies and other bakery products and, my mother-in-law, (a true connoisseur of desserts), raved about the cake for days. There may even be leftover piece in my kitchen. I'm thinking if going there right now and slicing a piece for myself now. Sipos is not only there for every day bakery products. Besides the bread, sandwiches, bagels, cookies, cakes and sweet rolls that they provide for their neighborhood, they also do specialty cakes. I highly recommend visiting this fine establishment during the holidays before starting your New Year's diet.

Well, for years Sipos Bakery doesn't disappoint. I ordered a mini blueberry cheesecake, plain…read morecheesecake, and carrot cake. As always, it's fresh and delicious and melts in your mouth.

When I walked in my eyes scanned the numerous pastries and some very colorful items and before long…read morean employee asked me if she can help. She was attentive! I asked her if the pudding cup was arroz con leche which she replied it was coconut pudding. Although, I could not really eat much, I took the pudding so I could taste it and rate it. It cost $2.25 and came in a small cup with cap. Delicately sprinkled with cinnamon the coconut pudding was quite delish and smooth! Had a nice coconut taste and smell with tinges of cinnamon hitting the tongue. The pudding was silky, and cold at the same time. Too bad I couldn't sample anything more from this bakery! I noticed a lot of breads in various single serving sizes and some look like they contain sweet toppings or fillings which triggers instant salivation for me. There are also some very colorful jello cups, flan, single slices of cake and other pastries inside the pastry counter. Outside Primavera Bakery is a hot Flamingo pink color! This bakery sits on the corner of the street and the eye catching color will draw you to take another look. Don't only take another look, but do take a leap in and try some of the baked goods inside! There are several tables where locals hang out to eat too!

I was laughed at by other Spanish customers who obviously see I speak English (assuming I don't understand them). I can usually get by with limited Spanish-- but they are prejudice and their loss. I won't come back. Yelping seemed to help; tacos are on their way. Photo soon. The tacos were delicious but still was so rudely treated. Updating: I probably would return and bring a Spanish speaking friend. I saw another customer get served a sugar coated fresh jelly donut. I want one too.
