Had to go back three times today for simple bread rolls that should have been out when they opened up an hour ago. Counter service is weak and slow which only adds to a negative experience here. Bottom line: NOT recommend! Muller's bakery of Bayhead eats their lunch all week long and then some. Go here instead, it's worth the drive..

My MIL really enjoys the strawberry cake here, it's not overly sweet and the med size cake lasts her about a week. Sh is 93, and it's important to her, that she has something special to serve her visitors, when she makes them coffee. What makes her happy, makes me happy. They do have other cakes, but this is the one I purchase most often along with cookies. stop in, the staff is really nice and friendly.

I ordered a Chocolate/Chocolate/Chocolate cake for me wife and she loved the overall chocolate hit. I will definitely return for some other products (the bread selection looked good. Their main location is in Toms River and I believe that the majority of the baking is done at that location. If you are in need of some empty calories or need a chocolate fix, give them a try.

Spectacular job on my son's birthday cake!…read more Chocolate Carousel made my wedding cake 13 years ago, so when it came time to celebrate my son's birthday, there was no question where I was going. They earned my trust years ago, and they exceeded my expectations once again. From my very first phone call, Rylee was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made the entire process effortless, patiently answered all of my questions, and put my mind at ease every step of the way. I came in with an AI-generated image of the cake I envisioned. We all know AI images don't always translate perfectly into a real cake, but Chocolate Carousel brought that vision to life better than I could have imagined. The attention to detail was incredible, and the finished cake looked amazingly close to the original design. The cake wasn't just beautiful--it was absolutely delicious! We chose chocolate and vanilla cake with cannoli cream, and it was one of the freshest cakes we've ever had. Every single slice disappeared before the party was over! Thank you to Rylee and the talented team at Chocolate Carousel for creating such a stunning and delicious centerpiece for my son's 36th birthday. You helped make his celebration unforgettable, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a truly special custom cake.

I placed an online order this afternoon for a dozen standard flavors of bundtinis for pickup…read moretomorrow. Shortly after placing the order, I found out someone had already ordered two dozen bundtinis for the same event. I immediately called the store and asked if I could change the pickup date instead of getting a refund, since I would be ordering more for another event next month anyway. At first, the employee I spoke with was kind and allowed the date change. Unfortunately, I then received a call back saying the manager had decided it was "too late" because the bundtinis had already been prepped, even though my order had only been placed a short time earlier. I made it clear that I was not asking for my money back -- just to move the order to a later date. These were standard flavors that could easily be sold the next day, yet I was essentially told "too bad." The manager was rude, dismissive, and completely unwilling to work with a paying customer. They would rather throw product away than show even minimal flexibility. Extremely disappointing experience and easily the worst customer service I've had in town. I will not be returning.

Nice little shop, friendly service and good prices…read more Coffee didn't blow me away or seem to be anything different than most other coffees around. Parking is horrendous and limited to spots along the main road, if they're taken it can be a wait for one to open or a long walk from parking further away. Wouldn't go out of my way just for the coffee, nice to stop in from time to time but that's about it.

Where do I begin??!!…read more I will drive all over NJ for a good cup of coffee but I believe I found the best, THE BEST cup of coffee. STAFF- Incredibly nice and helpful COFFEE- Options are amazing and the seasonal varieties are delicious PRICES- reasonable and best bang for the dollar So far the Candy Corn, White Chocolate Vanilla Raspberry, Apple Butter Chai Latte, Cannoli Latte, Cookie Butter Caramel Latte, Brown Butter Cinnamon Roll Late, Apple Cider Donut Muffin... I think this sums it up that I love this Coffee Spot and will remain a loyal customer.

Praise the LARD! Stumbled upon this place by seeing the words EMPANADAS on the window. Once I saw…read morethose words, I walked straight inside and ordered myself one. I did enjoy my breakfast empanada very much but the chicken one was definitely my favorite. It came with a chimichurri type sauce that just brought the already flavorful empanada to another level. The acid/garlic from the sauce was able to brighten up the heavier filling and crust. Let's talk about the crust for a second. It was so flaky, melt in your mouth texture! We did get to try the beef empanada as they gave it to us on accident instead of the chicken. All three were delicious and next time I would love to try their quiches or homemade soups!

Here in Lakewood Township, you will find this bakery in the Goldmont Center…read more Brand: 5/5 Hershy's Bakery is located in the Goldmont Center in Lakewood Township as a corner store. I do like the logo, for it uses as much of its simplicity as possible while maintaining a fancy posture. The sign has a noticeable presence in this shopping center as you walk around. Concerning the interior, I will say that the food itself adds to the brand. Website: 2/5 While the website does look decent, it is incomplete, therefore I cannot give it a favorable score. I do see the potential in terms of functionality and aesthetics, but the entire website contains sample text. It does have the vital information, such as contact information. It does say that it serves babka, peanut chew, cakes, and pastries, but it does not provide you with images of these products. Wait Time: 5/5 I did not have to wait for long to purchase my order. Ambiance: 3/5 On the outside, I could see this large corner store in the Goldmont Center that I could clearly imagine catering to many customers. Once I stepped inside, the ambiance felt quite underwhelming. I did not expect to find a small bakery with some of the goods still stacked in some of the noticeable racks, and no tables. Another problem was the lack of labels in the glass counters. It does maintain its cleanliness though. Food: 5/5 I tried four cinnamon rugelachs, and I will say that it was my satisfactory introduction to rugelachs. It had a more cinnamon taste and less bread taste, which helps balances these pastries. The establishment served baskets of rugelach in the open, and I will say that even then, they did not become hard or stale. They retained their fluffy forms and their cinnamon tastes. The website provides some of the menu items, while the Yelp menu has all the options available to you, such as challah bread, danishes, cookies, cakes, and donuts. Service: 5/5 The owner did not have an issue with informing you if you looking for a particular pastry. Worth The Money?: 3/5 The food reflects the brand in all its simplicity, for you will find many Jewish delicacies in this establishment. While it would help Hershy's Bakery's website to show specific images of the food, if I am to believe the awards cataloged in the About Us page, then it would help develop its credibility if ownership updated the entire website. Indeed, the font and the images already on the website already add to its ambiance. I will say that the food does add to the ambiance of the bakery. I would recommend adding labels to the foods. The ambiance made both the wait time and service tolerable. Would I say that Hershy's Bakery is worth it as a small business? Yes. As a place to frequent despite not being from Lakewood Township? Probably not. I can only consider this establishment a choice if I was traveling through Lakewood and happened upon the Goldmont Center. I will say that the owner did balance my order on a weight scale, giving it a fair price. So, I cannot complain. Rating: 4/5 Stars Needless to say, I will say that Hershy's Bakery is quite a good establishment overall. I got to introduce myself to rugelachs despite the limitations. Recommend To... Any other Gentiles who want to try kosher delicacies but do not know where to start, or are hesitate to bake them yourselves. I will tell you that Hershy's Bakery offers you a glimpse into Jewish cuisine with a fresh basket of rugelachs.

Rugalah was also stale and tasted off as well perhaps frozen at one time. Something g else we ordered didn't show up but was refunded and the black and white cookies were nicely wrapped but no one ate them as they were huge and way too much for one person also no description of that.
