You know I always love a little something sweet everyday! I had seen Double Batch Bakery through…read moresocial media and wanted to visit. The pictures online do not compare at all! Everything looked delicious in person. We arrived to the store front window and was immediately greeted by the young lady inside. There were a few things I wanted to try and one of them was the croissamada cause I do love a traditional ensymada and was interested to try it in a croissant. I also picked up some cookies, brownie and an oatmeal creme pie. Everything was delicious! I loved the croissamada the extra buttery-ness and flakiness was amazing! I will be back again and support this local business!

3.5 stars (I want to…read morepreface that my review is for a single rainbow cookie, so take it for what it's worth; I just want to make sure that I have a record of it as a place I have tried.) I absolutely adore rainbow cookies, so I was thrilled to see a platter of them from the Paulanto Bakery at a party that I was attending in the area. Since there were several appealing desserts on offer, I only grabbed one of the colorful morsels, but I just found it mediocre. I felt that there was not enough chocolate around the edges and the coating that was there seemed more like light, milk chocolate than it did like the traditional rich, dark chocolate. I also thought the cookie would have benefitted from more almond paste or even a dedicated layer of marzipan. With that being said, it was very fresh and had the perfect consistency. If I see them again, I will gladly give them another try.

I visit this local bakery many times I would say a number of five times minimum and every single…read moretime I get a different experience with their cake slices. The first time was during the pandemic and it was understandable why they would close early and why the baked goods weren't up to expectations, however, the following few times afterwards were a hit or miss. Sometimes the cakes were overly too sweet to the point where my teeth hurts. But maybe that's just my preference so you can discard. You might love sweet sweet cakes but sometimes it is the perfect sweetness. However, the one thing that I find difficult about the bakery is the level of freshness. It's a gamble! On 3 different occasions I have asked the counter girls (who are all very nice btw) if the pastries were baked the same day. Out of the 3 visits there was a young lady that was extremely honest and told me which was made today and which was baked yesterday. I appreciated her honesty, and at that visit, the cakes that were baked same day were delicious, fresh and soft totally 4.5 stars. However, the following next few visits it wasn't that great. I would ask the same question and another young girl would answer it was all the same day which is not true because out of the slices I bought (and four cake slices this past week) only half were very soft and fresh. The other two were stale and some of the cream was sticky. I mean is it annoying that I ask ? Sure. But if it was all baked same day and have consistency I wouldn't need to ask all the time. I keep coming back hoping I get fresh cakes every time. I do love that they close at 9 PM so if you are very desperate for something sweet, then they are the spot to go to. Otherwise, this place is a gamble, hit or miss, which is unfortunate because I live so close to here, I can always walk down the street. The store itself is efficient with many counter assistants, fast service, they take card or cash and the prices are very affordable. No places to sit but it's alright. Unfortunately I didn't finish any of the slices in photo. $18 down the drain. Maybe I'll get better luck next time.

I came across Karen bakery randomly while looking for bakeries in the JC area. The store is…read moreunassuming and the smell of fresh baked bread hits you as you enter. It was amazing to see the carts full of freshly baked carbs. There were no menus so, it was a little confusing trying to figure out what to get. Ended up getting a bag of buttermilk bread and a box of basbousa (sweet semolina cake). The buttermilk bread was gigantic! Probably measured at least 12"x12". It's a flatbread with many layers, seems like it would be good to dip with soup or use as a wrap. The basbousa was satisfyingly sweet, with a gritty texture because of the semolina but would pair very well with some tea for an afternoon snack. Can't wait to return to try out some other baked goods.

For our cake tasting, Palermo's gave out a box to take home of all of their flavors. I think this idea came out of Covid, but I was happy to be able to choose the flavors out of the comfort of my home & not feel pressured in the bakery. When we arrived at the bakery, they had a form we wrote our name on to ensure we received our tasting box and we didn't have to wait too long. The bakery was beautiful and smelled amazing! They had seating inside & outside as well. The tasting box came with a pamphlet with all the flavors and descriptions. This includes their normal flavors and premium which you would pay more for. We tried all 16 & we enjoyed the carrot cake & were BLOWNNN away by the blueberry cheesecake. My husband and I unanimously chose that flavor. We did pay extra, as it was a premium flavor but it was worth everything we paid because we reminisce on how good it was to this day! For my birthday, I choose Felina in Ridgewood & they partner with Palermo's as well. I choose strawberry and vanilla custard filling with whipped cream icing. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. I would recommend Palermo's bakery to anyone - visually and taste wise they always exceed my expectations! Thank you!!!
