    Ube cupcake
    Robert M.

    Baking Mama is a small (and I do mean small) bakery in downtown Hoboken. I was pleasantly surprised by their wide variety of Ube items, from cookies to cupcakes. The woman at the counter was courteous, especially describing the cupcakes since they didn't have signs telling you what they were. They're your standard-sized cupcakes, and while I enjoyed the Ube cupcake, I wasn't blown away by the flavor. The Ube cookie had more Ube flavor to me.

    Voted best chocolate chip cookie in NJ? I had to check out this cute little shop in downtown Hoboken-close to the PATH. Well, it lives up to the hype, a very delicious chocolate chip cookie that's just soft and chewy enough with great chocolate chip, buttery flavor. I also tried the red velvet and mint chip cookie--red velvet being the favorite out of the two but both baked well and delicious! The cake pop was ok, and the cinnamon bun left a lot to be desired as it was dry and not as flavorful as the cookies. The guy helping me out was friendly and wanted to make sure I received the cake pop flavor I wanted to try he triple checked to make sure I grabbed the right one-I really appreciate that type is customer service!! Definitely will be back for those cookies!!

    Adorable small bake shop on Hudson street mainly selling cookies and cupcakes including bite size tiny cupcakes. Purchased the Ube - purple yam cookies and will return for the cupcakes. Small shop that smells wonderful with bakes goods to tempt anyone.

    Ube cookie and then a few different version of chocolate chip!

    I think it's time to write an update to one of my favorite little Hoboken bakeries. Still 5 stars, still so delicious. Most recently I stopped in specifically for the chocolate peppermint cookies, otherwise known as "It's Raining Mint, Hallelujah!" I picked up 4 of them and they were gone by the end of the day. So delicious and chocolatey with just the right amount of peppermint. I also stopped in over the summer when I saw that Yelp rated them the best chocolate chip cookie in NJ and got a bunch of different cookies: chocolate chip, sea salt chocolate chip, ube, and a few others. All were so perfect with a cup of milk. The shop is tiny so you'll be getting your sweet treats to go. Everyone inside is so kind and friendly, you will definitely be greeted with a very warm welcome, maybe even from the Baking Mama herself! Couldn't recommend cookies and all other sweets from this shop enough.

    8 Pieces of Assorted Cookies

    So I ordered 8 cookies, 2 Chocolate Chip, 2 Salted Chocolate Chip, 2 Oatmeal Raisin, 2 Double Chocolate Chip. Cookie with those kind of swirls, that's classic chocolate chip, one above that is salted version, oatmeal is one above double chocolate. Let's start with Oatmeal, it's not an overwhelming taste, it has a nice balance of oatmeal to sharp sweetness of raisin. Double Chocolate Chip is a surprising one, it has a nice sweet taste to start, but strong bitter chocolate taste towards end, it's a awesome blend of sweet and bitter chocolate that you would want in double chocolate compared to just same kind of chocolate flavoring! It just enhances the flavor more. Next is classic chocolate chip, and what can I say! It's a really good, delightful cookie. The salted version is actually my 2nd favorite cookie from here(my favorite being oatmeal even though I love chocolate) due to the added extra element of saltiness with sweetness of the cookie! Overall, the cookies are amazing and must get in Newark! It was wonderful time trying all food I can and with this being last thing I try before I head home! Side note: the cookies are somewhat gooey, aren't insanely gooey but I prefer my cookies that way!

    So hard to find lol. Circled the block a million times for parking and locating this place. I dont know why I expected it to be bigger inside with a huge display case. But regardless, the chocolate chip cookie was to die for. Melts in your mouth. So soft and full of chocolate. Just perfect! Also, tried an oatmeal raisin cookie but that missed the mark tremendously. Didn't taste like any oats were in the cookie. It was like I bit into a plain cookie and then a random raisin here and there. Something was missing.

    Their sign says best chocolate chip cookie in New Jersey...I'm not sure it's the best, but it was definitely great! We only tried the chocolate chip but looking forward to trying other flavors!

    Saving it for someone at home who might enjoy it.

    The chocolate chip is too sweet for my taste. The ube cookie has a beautiful color but I am not tasting even just a hint of ube flavor. It may be delicious for some and I respect that.

    Excellent! They accommodated a red velvet birthday cake order the day before my pickup day... actually they took my order 15 min prior to closing on a Friday for Saturday pick up. The cake was moist and chocolatey as it should be... totally worth the 30min drive from Teaneck, NJ. They added a piece of fondant and pipped a bday message on top. My 5year old niece loved the cake... especially the fondant :) I highly recommend the crinkle cookie, aka brownie cookie. Chewy and soft at the same time. The bakery is so cute, and looks like a bakery from Europe. I will be back for future cake orders!!!

    Absolutely loved this place. The food was delicious and you should definitely sit in the flower…read moregarden if you can. It's gorgeous and a beautiful ambiance. The inside is nice too but feels a bit stuffy. The croque Madame which is made with turkey and not ham which was super lucky for me was absolutely delicious. And even though it looks small on the plate it was very filling. The eggs was also perfect. The macarons were absolutely delicious. However for $5 for one you would expect less cracks. Service was also great. If you're looking for a high end brunch experience I would definitely recommend.

    I was looking forward to coming here. As I kept hearing about the beautiful outdoor area, so I went…read morefor breakfast. This place is known for their macarons, I do not eat them but this location has a full on menu. I had a latte which comes with the Laduree logo on top and the latte was very good. Honestly, better than my meal. Which, by the way if you want to dine in it's a $35.00 min per person per table. Before I read this I was just thinking about going ti get a coffee and sit in the outside garden area. I was wrong. I ended up getting eggs Benedict with bacon. It came on a brioche bread which, I never had before. Usually, this dish comes on an english muffin. It was good and had the sauce on the side. The eggs itself come as two legit hard boiled eggs on top which, I had never seen before. Was it worth the price...ehh not really, but did have a nice waiter who took my allergies seriously and wrote them all down. Yes, I am glad I came to check it out, do I need to come back here though not really, unless I came for like a tea with some friends than maybe we would see.
