My fiance and I were taking a walk in town when we noticed a sidewalk sign outside of Sweet…read moreExpressions saying "Free Cheesecake Sample Upstairs". So as any normal human being would do at 10 am on a Sunday morning, you would at least check it out...right? So we did. All my fiance was saying was how cool the colors were and how everything was so bright and colorful on our way up the steep stairs. I guess you have to get a work out before you enter sweet heaven. Once we finally entered the medium sized bakery, it's not your typical bakery you are thinking of. After a little perusing it felt as though we were walking into someone's kitchen. We were greeted by the owner, Lisa, and chatted about her business which just started up. Their niche is biscotti, cookies and some cakes. She had us sample a few of her biscotti. They were awesome. So much so, that we ended up buying 2 of each (there were 8 varieties) for a family function. Some definite's: Lemon Bliss, Chocolate Hysteria (Dark Chocolate w/cayenne pepper -- strange combo but fantastic!), Almond Joyful and Sicilian Sunburn to name a few. Check out her site to find out more about what's in them. She even let us try her homemade pignoli cookie...chewy, soft and delicious! I would highly suggest giving this place a try. They do not have Italian pasties or bread so don't think it's a traditional bakery. Plus you can go downstairs to Sweet Expressions and gorge yourself into a chocolate coma. ENJOY!

Best Gluten-Free Bakery!…read more Ive been to tons of gluten free bakeries and Sweet Niche is by far the best! The crumb cake and brownies are to die for and everyone I give them to do not believe me when i tell them they are gluten free! My husband eats their non gluten free (even though he LOVES all the gf goodies!) stuff and can't say enough great things about this place! The biscotti is unique and everyone needs to try it! The owner is so nice and helpful and really enjoys what she does! She make you want to keep going back, but then you try her baked goods, and you must go back for more! Sweet-Niche is a gem and your really missing out if you haven't had it yet!

Attempt number two: Husband grabbed an assortment to try: crumb cake, m&m cookie, brownie, pretty standard stuff. He mentioned to me that the boy behind the counter mentioned that the cookies 'just came out.' WELL. Ugh. They did not, in fact, just come out, young sir. Stale, tasteless, fall apart- shellack like cookies. Crumb cake topping was oddly orange, and also stale and tasteless. The brownie I didn't even get to taste, and I couldn't get photos of anything either b/c hubs tossed it all in the trash after making a frownie-face over the not good brownie place. Anyways, I miss the old Vikingos. And luckily the French bakery in town is bomb (it replaced the gross ass (sorry, to their cult following) Mara's 'bakery.' End rant.

Beignets is on the list of places that I wanted to check out if I'm ever in Denville and I finally…read moremade it. Let me first start off by saying that the beignets I had were heavenly. Light, fluffy, not too sweet, with a messy but delicious showering of powdered sugar. I would definitely stop by for their fresh, fluffy beignets to be eaten fresh because they make them fresh with every order! Just for their amazing beignets, it should be 5 stars. My friend also got a chai latte, which my friend actually really liked. She said it was one of the best she's ever had. I tried and it was really good, just super sweet. Taste-wise though - delicious! BUT I gave 4 stars because when I went, they were out of the other things I wanted and it wasn't clearly advertised so the poor girl helping me had to keep telling me sad news, one after another. I wish there was a sign stating if something was unavailable or they should've put away displays if items were not available. My friend wanted gelato because there was a picture of it displayed, but they said they didn't have that. Is it only a summer thing? Were they not serving gelato just for that day? I don't know, it was just unavailable. They really should not mislead customers by displaying the picture of the pretty gelato (the picture looked really good!). This also meant that I couldn't get the affogato because they weren't serving gelato. Again, the menu didn't clearly state they were not serving that drink. I also stopped by here specifically because I saw an Instagram post that their hot cocoa was one of the best. The "toasted" one was the one I wanted, but it was not available because they didn't have the marshmallow. Again, that one wasn't covered with a sign that it was unavailable. I ended up getting a drink somewhere else. Also, when we wanted a receipt, the girl helping us said it wasn't working. So it was just a bad timing that day. Poor girl was super nice as she delivered rejections, but I was still constantly disappointed. Again, if I'm ever in the area, I would definitely be back for their beignets and hopefully that next time, the menus will be more clear about what they have and don't have. Things to know before you go: -They have a lot of different donut flavors and fillings, which I didn't try. But make sure to prepare enough time to wait for them to be made fresh and depending on how busy they are at the time you go. It looks like it's worth the wait because so many people got several donuts. -There were about four 2-person tables and one table for 4-5 people and a couch for 2 people to sit snugly. So, not the best place for big groups.

I SCREAM u SCREAM! We all SCREAM for icecream! You've come to the pinnacle icecream place -…read moreDenville Dairy! The line was nearly out the door. So this must be one of the best IceCream places for miles, and IT IS! When we came in & got our ticket, we were # 56. The # they had served so far was 35! So it gave us a few min to walk up & down the streets to view all the cute stores. After about 10 min they called our #~ we felt like, holy cow! What fast service! I had the mint chocolate chip w hot fudge. But by the time I was able to sit down on their bench in the store, my hot fudge had mostly melted my IceCream quite fast. So I went to the counter to ask for half a scoop so I wasn't eating icecream soup. The girls behind the counter said to ask JOHN, an owner(his dad is also an owner) & when I showed him my melted icecream & that I would pay for an extra scoop, and you know what JOHN said? He said they can't add it to my existing cup & turned around (to my surprise & delight) scooped up a "healthy size scoop" into a sept cup, ON HIM, $0!!!!! I told my husband- omg, now he has a customer for life! So cool! That one act of kindness was sooo nice. And we chatted (even tho it was soo busy - he took the time to answer my questions about the how long it take to a big jug/gallon container and he said 15 min- from start to finish! And he said he loves his job bc he can make as many flavors/combos he can think of & it turns out to be a real creative process. I asked about catering & they don't do that, but you can order as many gallons as you want. He even shared how the NY Giants (I think that was the team-lol) ordered a BUNCH of gallons for an event they had! He & all his employees "the girls" were soooo nice. And the icecream? I've never tasted ice cream that was so creamy & the choc pieces/chip were to die for! Not like little tiny pieces and they weren't super hard, just the right size & melted in your mouth like a dream on a chocolate river! I'd be remiss to give Denville Dairy anything under 5 And bc they sell a superior product, they are super busy, the girls are super nice & good at what they do! On a weekend you should plan to have 8-10 min in line & as far as parking, you may need 15 min to find it. But bc they serve quickly - chances are parking will be available quicker than you think. But during the Summer days I think parking can be a challenge- on Sunday night- even w a full house. It was a breeze to order! Thank you John for a yummy superior product (ice scream) made w ALL NATURAL ingredients! Cheers- Ur Cust 4 Life I SCREAM FIR ICE CREAM
