My favorite local bakery. BoBo Z is a small but delightful bakery serving a huge variety of French pastries from croissants and pain au chocolat to freshly baked baguettes. Everything is made fresh daily in their kitchen in back. I come here a few times a month, usually for baguettes and whatever else catches my eye! Their chocolate croissants (pain au chocolat if you want to be technical) are so buttery and flaky, just what I'm looking for. My brother usually orders the almond croissant and devours it almost instantly. I do try to call in advance for the baguettes because they're such a hot commodity! Usually she sells out super early in the day and has another batch baking to be ready by mid afternoon. Sometimes I stop in and let her know how many i would like to reserve, and sometimes I'll call ahead. I love that she always makes sure to put them aside so I know they'll be there when I arrive! read more

BoBo Z Bakery - Fresh baguettes! - Bakeries Near Me - Mahwah, New Jersey

There were maybe 10 different baked goods in the store. I chose one I was very familiar with which was a croissant . At 5 bucks , and the rating this has on Yelp , I expected the croissant at the minimum to be good tasting . Sadly, this was easily one of the worst croissants I've ever had . The almond croissant was very hard to pull apart , not very flaky if at all and the taste was blandish and just not up to even the mid tier standards . If I compared this to any other almond croissant I've had in other bakeries especially those that are French inspired , this would be a complete joke . This is sorta the level you'd find in a Costco multipack .Also, if you're coming here for coffee , the options are very limited to drip and maybe one or two flavor lattes so it's pretty much exclusively a makeshift bakery. The baker who I presume was the owner as well was exceptionally kind and welcoming so something in me wants me to try give it another go with possibly another option. read more

OMG - a real bakery! Absolutely wonderful baked goods!! The brioche outstanding and phenomenal almond croissants!!

PLEASE sort out your schedule. My dad, who is on limited time because he has cancer, was so excited to visit this bakery as we used to go here when I was a kid. We left the house in traffic and the rain only to discover that their hours on Google are different than Yelp. Today is Monday. Google says closed Monday, Yelp says open til 6:30pm. I called 4x and no answer, so they're likely closed. Obviously my dad being sick and irritable is nobody else's problem, but it goes to show how much a simple detail could really affect someone's day. Lets just say it ended not great. And if the details of this bakery were more clear and were cross checked, this could have been prevented. read more

She's honest, communicative, and patient. The place is always clean and I couldn't recommend it more!!

Went there this afternoon, got mango mousse and several different kinds of bread. I would say it's the best mango mousse I ever had, not too sweat, light and airy texture and most importantly, very flavorful. And the bread is a real deal, not oily, no fancy artificial color, if you like "real bread" without all the artificial ingredients, you need to come here and try it yourself. I live more than 30mins south, but it's definitely worth the drive. read more

I needed a strawberry shortcake for one of the nurses at work. I called numerous places and they all had the gel u get inside the cake and not fresh strawberries. I spoke to Rebecca and she said she would gladly make me the cake. I brought it into work and it was devoured by everyone who said it was the freshest cake they had eaten!

What a find! Thanks Yelpers for helping me find this gem of a bakery. I was going to be in town for a wedding and needed a birthday cake for the following day. I phoned Bobo Z Bakery in advance to place an order. The baker took care to make sure I understood the many options. The cake was available for pick up when promised. It exceeded all expectations. Strawberry shortcake with whipped cream frosting -- beautiful, tasty, and light. My guests -- including the guest of honor -- were delighted. I was very pleased. Highly recommend this place. I also tried their chocolate croissants for breakfast. Yum. read more

BoBo Z Bakery - Almond Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Mahwah, New Jersey

She offers the best croissants in the area, and we've been trying all the croissants around the neighboring towns and farmer's markets for a few years trying to find the right level of crispy and flaky outside, butteriness, with just the right texture and moisture inside. Up until now it was very hard to find a really GREAT croissant, and we discovered BoBo Z bakery this past October. The mini brioche was really light, fresh and fluffy. The mango mousse cake was good, also not too sweet, with a very fruity gelee that was light and satisfying -- without feeling heavy or overly sweetened. Go and check it out, or call to place a phone order for curbside pickup, the foodie in you will be happy to try this new bakery! read more

We tried this new bakery some time in November after noticing a new place had opened for cakes and macarons. The croissants are absolutely delicious and made perfectly in the Parisian style (she has plain, chocolate, and almond). We have gone back almost weekly ever since, for croissants and baguettes, also for cakes. The mango mousse, chocolate mousse, and strawberry shortcake were all really great. The "light" version of cheesecake is very tasty and delicious, made in the Japanese style so it's lighter and airier than traditional NY style. She uses less sugar than other bakeries, and we like that. She uses real butter, and makes all these cakes and pastries using traditional French methods and some specialty items also have an Asian flair (e.g., bubble tea, matcha green tea whipped cream on certain dessert tarts, etc). We LOVE these treats!! Thank you for setting up shop here in Mahwah~! read more
