The best breakfast in the area! I can't wait to enjoy their newly renovated indoor dining. But until then I'll continue to enjoy the French toast and omelettes outside!!!! read more

Absolutely love this cafe!! Service has always been hospitable and professional. Pastries, cakes and lunch have always been excellent!! Love the cupcakes. Thank you for always being an enjoyable experience. Such an awesome place to look forward to after a long week. read more

We are new to Sparta and are so happy to have found this adorable cafe! my pictures are only of the desserts we have had, but the food was also very very good. we ordered the Printemp spring salad, charred brussel sprouts, potato encrusted filet of sole, and the chicken francaise. the quality was excellent, and it was so good we decided to order again just a few nights later (we ended up ordering the same things too)! after ordering out dinner twice (both curbside due to covid), we decided last minute on a friday to pick up a cake for my dads retirement. they had one ready in bakery and added a cute little detail to make it a bit more personalized. the desserts are also delicious! the icing on the cake was sweet but not too overbearing, the carrot cake bars are moist (and the tiny bit of chocolate on the bottom is a small but nice added touch), and the brownies are super chocolatey and almost fudge like. i can definitely say that this is a new favorite and we will probably be regular customers now that we are in town. all of the employees have been kind, courteous, and helpful. thank you cafe pierrot! read more

See all

Went there today with a dear friend and her two year old son for early lunch. Unfortunately he was not having a good day . He was crying as they sat us down. Within a minute a woman came over and stated "there are several people already complaining about his crying " and asked if he was going to stop crying soon? lol. .. it seemed so far fetched because we ONLY just sat down and their was no time for anyone to complain ! . I understand we all don't like to hear children crying when we are dining but it felt super uncomfortable to be approached in this manner . The mother took him outside immediately to try and calm him down. What we should have done was left immediately !! Also ..To find out from the waitress at the end of our meal it was the "owner of the cafe ". More disappointing! .. the little boy eventually calmed down but inside I was so angry that we were treated this way . My friend also felt uncomfortable because of her ethnicity and stated to me " if I was white I wonder if she would have approached us the same way " embarrassed and didn't know what to say ! I certainly hope not in this day and age !! Sorry Cafe Perot I won't be visiting your establishment anymore .. read more

Would've given 0 stars if I could've. Could not be more disappointed with cafe Pierrot. I called this afternoon and asked about their cupcakes and what time they close. I was very specifically told 9pm. We drove 50 minutes with our son, who is sick, for his birthday so he could pick out a special cupcake. After the long drive, we pull up to an empty place at 5:50pm and see a sign saying 'closed at 5'. It wasn't snowing or bad weather so we were shocked when we saw it had closed early. Extremely frustrating and disappointing, especially when we called and spoke with someone a few hours prior about closing at 9pm. read more

I love this cafe! I was in the area and was looking for a place to get lunch and was very happy with this choice. I ordered a turkey spinach Swiss melt, an iced coconut caramel latte and of course a cupcake and a carrot cake slice for later. Everything was simply delicious and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend! read more

Cafe Pierrot - Bakery items - Bakeries Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

We purchased 3 drinks and 3 pastries and took it outside to eat at a table since we are still not eating indoors due to COVID and there was only 1 table that was occupied, so we didn't think anything of it. We were approached by a waitress to let us know this area was for dine-in only. Totally get it but I spent $ at the establishment, there were about 8 empty tables that I counted so I wasn't taking business away. What a true shame. I will not be back. read more

I have recently moved from Sparta and I'm going to miss this place ... the desserts and oh that loaf of Whole Grain bread! The staff is excellent. The food is wonderful and the desserts are to die for. I have been to this restaurant so many times, they know me. Yes, they are extremely busy for lunch so if you go during peak time, it will be loud but the reason it's busy is because it's a wonderful little place to eat. I like the fact that they change up the menu. I can't wait for them to bring back the pulled pork tacos...oh my! Or the little pocket things I had. I can't remember the name of them but we went back three times that week! One of my fave's is the quiche or their soups, they have many choices. Have you seen the chef's work station? How do they put out such amazing food in such a little area? They work very hard. I have ordered many cakes from them for special occasions and they are lovely and delicious. My fave to order when I'm eating in is the lemon raspberry cake bar. It is so light, just talking about it now makes me want one. The manager Katie is outstanding and works hard to make sure things are right for you. Great job! We also have regular servers were prefer. You will find them very accommodating when you order out and picking up. My daughter has done this numerous times. Each time I've gone in, her food was there exactly how she ordered it and yes...you will have to wait in line if it's prime time. They are popular. I'm not going to say that every time we came the service was perfect because a few things have been forgotten here and there (by newer severs). But the truth is I've been here so much that the majority of times ARE perfect, I can't blame them for forgetting one cappuccino (actually another waitress brought it to a different table...and they drank it when they didn't order it!) Be prepared if you go for lunch. They are busy for a reason :) read more

We are extremely disappointed in Cafe Pierrot. We have been patronizing this restaurant and the bakery for many years. This afternoon, I called to reserve a table for my husband and me on the porch or front lawn area. I have done this many times before, particularly during the pandemic. I was told by the attendee answering the phone that she could not accept a reservation for fewer than five persons. This policy is, essentially, promoting larger gatherings while countering our desire to eat with fewer people in the interest of safety. Additionally, Cafe Pierrot is inferring that the owners are not valuing our patronage but, instead, placing value on larger parties (more $$$). When I asked the person answering the phone, if that meant I would not be insured a table, she did not answer my question but merely repeated that the reservation must be for five or more persons. read more

We have been going to Cafe Pierrot for years. Recently the quality has been going down & prices insane! Parking is a real problem & the inside shop is tight. Customers are pushed around by rushing wait staff. I now think twice before I battle going in there. read more

Serving the public is hard work that many of us appreciate. It is easier when a place is welcoming to all who walk through the doors of your business. But that is not the case here. Let's just say that this place serves only a certain demographic. I was there and felt unwelcomed hence I concluded you do not need the patronage. read more

For years, you guys have been a family staple, but today the delivery was well over an hour late and unacceptable.

Went with a friend for lunch on Friday the 5th of November. There were a few items on the menu that reflect the autumn season. We chose the chicken,apple caramelized onions quesadilla. It was delicious,so flavorful and filling along with a small lettuce salad. read more

Very sad to write this review. I love Cafe Pierrot And have been coming here for a number of years. Today I brought my son and his three friends for cupcakes after playing at Station Park. I'm going to post a picture of my receipt. I think it's important for all to know that if you go to Café Pierrot for a sweet treat, they will add a "dine in" surcharge to EACH item. This is a new policy and quite frankly extremely tacky. I asked the attendant at the front if the surcharge at least goes to the server. Sadly , it does not. Just thought you all should know..... read more

I have had several good items from Cafe Pierrot, such as grilled chicken wraps, chicken salad, tuna and quiche. I also had the Thanksgiving catering last year, which was very good and enjoyed by my family. I recently brought my friend in for lunch for her birthday and was somewhat disappointed. There was a fly buzzing in the window alongside our table. I understand that this can happen anywhere, but it was not real pleasant. We both had quiche which was good. The disappointment for both of us was the soup we ordered. I chose potato and bacon and my friend chose seafood bisque. My soup did not have a single potato or any bacon in it and it also had no taste. The seafood bisque did not contain one piece of seafood and it also had no taste. I will definitely be back, but will pass on the soup! read more

I think this establishment needs to address employees!!! Shortly after moving to sparta my son and a friend went into cafe where a very younge waitress was making fun of my son right in front of him!!! When I called to complain manager Katy denied there employees had behaved poorly. Ha Will never go back. Shame on you!!! I don't care how good this place is. We will never go back or recommend this place! How dare you!!!!!!! read more

I do not know how so many people still patronize Cafe Pierrot. I have never had an enjoyable meal here. The only nice plus is the atmosphere. However, the staff is untrained and too young. They have a high turnover rate in staff, rather than having experienced pastry chefs and kitchen line cooks, they have high school students (which there is nothing wrong with that, but they continually hire questionable kids). The last time my mom and I went, we had eggs benedict. The eggs were completely cooked through and there was barely any Hollandaise sauce. It took 20 minutes for our server to get us coffees. The two tables next to us received the wrong orders. We then went to pay and purchase some pastries after our breakfast, where we were rung up for the incorrect amount twice and talked to rudely by the employee. The place is a bunch of kids running around like chickens with their heads cut off, and the food is awful. Sorry... read more

Excellent swordfish special. Side veggies not overdone. Fish soup creamy & delicious. Breads baked on side and very delicious. Generous portions and all the bread you want. Service excellent. Desserts very special. Lots more in the cases than what appears on menu. We took our desserts to go to make sure we didn't miss them. Each dessert delicious and obviously home made, not from a dessert supplier. Highly recommend it! read more

LOVE THIS CAFE! Cafe Pierrot is home to many fantastic people, one of which being our server, Abbie. She was quick with our food, and always very eager to help! Excellent choices of food for all three meals! Although a quite concise menu, this place still possesses a diverse selection of foods for anyone's taste. Five stars! read more

Not sure what the hype is all about. Stopped over to pick up tiramisu pastries and coffee to go. The parties were hard and not exactly a traditional tiramisu. Sheer disappointment! The service was prompt though. read more

Have been to Cafe Pierrot several times now and have not been disappointed. Not only does this cafe have a bakery with delicious desserts and treats, but the restaurant is amazing. Over the course of my visits I have tried different menu options- must say to try the soups- the soup and 1/2 sandwich deal is an awesome lunch special. Also- don't forget to have some yummy hot chocolate to take the meal down! read more

Went here with my SO for a late breakfast this morning. I found it to be fantastic. He ordered the apple walnut french toast and I got the raspberry stuffed french toast. He gives it 4, I give it 5 :) The waitress was really nice. I felt bad because we came straight after a medical procedure and both of us were updating family on our phones, but she was gracious enough. She checked on us often. I loved my meal. It was delicious. The coffee was good too. There were samples of lemon meringue at the counter that we grabbed before being seated. Those were great too. They also had cute cookies at the bakery - Oscar awards and tickets, various St. Patrick's designs. I wish we had grabbed some. We'll be making quite a few trips up to the Sparta area in the next few months and I'll be definitely stopping here often. read more

Great coffee and pastries! My husband and I had Cafe Pierrot cater my mother in laws 80th birthday, and all of our guests loved the food! The cake was outstanding -vanilla cake , raspberry mousse and vanilla buttercream. We stop here for coffee and dessert regularly, and are never disappointed. The coconut shortbread cookies are absolutely wonderful! Staff is friendly and really work hard. Great little spot! read more

OMG What is that chai latte? So good! Great place for brunch of breakfast. Good food and friendly service. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars it's because of the lack of vegetarian options. I'm not vegetarian myself but took my friend there and she is, she had to end up with a boring salad, which was a bit disappointing for me since I had said so many good things about their food :( Maybe they will change it soon :) apart from it, I totally recommend it, we brought some of their bakery bread home and looooved it! read more

I love this place for it's lunch, bread, and amazing desserts. But today I called for a specific cookie. Amber said there were 2 left and I immediately told her my name and that I would be there within 30 minutes. When I arrived and asked for the 2 cookies that I just drove 10 miles for, Amber casually commented, "oh yes you called for the 2 cookies, but now there's just one. I never but them aside". NOT COOL Amber.. Very disappointed! read more

Food is ever changing and delicious, but the staff leaves a lot to b desired. Once you order and food is delivered, no one ever comes back to check on how you are doing. Our soup that was ordered was forgotten about, but our sandwiches were good. What is it with restaurants giving you one napkin and never coming back to see if you need another, or a refill on your beverage? We will return because it is a cute place and the food is good, but with reservations to do so. They do have great bread! read more

Pastries are always good, prices are too high on lots of things though. The wrapped cookies are $6 and are super hard! Bagel station ones are a lot better and half the price. Also, they charged me $4 extra for a simple wrap because it was ordered 30 minutes after their "lunch" was over and they forgot to put the avocado in it. Recommend for the bakery items, but be prepared to spend more than you'd want to for different things. I was sitting down one time to eat and I got a brownie dessert and was charged at least a dollar more for it to be on a plate instead of a box?? read more

An office mate picked up a phenomenal fruit filled coffee cake that we all ate. In seconds it was gone. The cake was so fresh it was still warm by the time it arrived at the office. It was soft, and moist... Not too sweet, not too much cinnamon, and had assorted fruit through out the ring (as in one portion had blueberries, another section had raspberry)... And of course the crumbs were the best part. I cannot wait to go pick up another treat. read more

Food was adequate at best. I came to Sparta to visit and being that I live in the NYC area the food was "ok". Everything was very bland and lacked a wide variety of flavors. The service was okay as well. If you want a flashback to Grandma's old-fashioned cooking... Then go here. For the foodie... Don't go, it's not worth your time and money. read more

A very long time ago this was a very decent bakery (for Sussex County). However... I went in the other day for a very small birthday cake which cost me roughly $35. I thought the price was great and the cake looked very nice. The problem was that after I served the cake and everyone tried it, the consensus was that it tasted terrible and we ended up just throwing it in the garbage. Such a disappointment! read more

There is literally not one thing that I've tried from this place that didn't blow me away completely. Their rainbow cookies in particular are life altering. I've never had a better one in my life, and every single person I've exposed them to has agreed. Their cakes are phenomenal and beautifully made, their home baked breads are to die for, their other food is delish. I really can't say enough good things about this place. We're so lucky to have this gem only 10 minutes away from us. Always my go to. read more

Excellent! Stopped for a quick Lunch and was thoroughly satisfied with the ambiance, service and food! Told there was a 15 minute wait and we waited maybe 5 minutes! Very clean and sanitary. Staff wore masks as did most of the customers. The food was outstanding, servings were generous. And dessert was the best carrot cake I have ever tasted! Would absolutely recommend! And we will absolutely return for more! read more

Great place to stop by and have lunch. I was spending the weekend in Newton, NJ and was looking for a cool one-off place to eat out. This place fit the bill. Great service. I recommend the grilled veggie sandwich, a delicious choice without the guilt of a heavy meal. read more

I love this cafe! The staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful, and the food is just exquisite. It's something special every time! Whether it's their homemade cranberry almond granola, famous lemon dill chicken salad, or their incredible catered entrees and desserts, everything is the highest quality and the utmost in deliciousness! We recently catered a tray of Chicken Cordon Bleu for our New Year's Eve gathering. Where do I begin? The chicken was sliced beautifully, the chicken was perfectly tender, the ham and cheese were fresh, and the sauce was scrumptious! Honestly, I will never make Chicken Cordon Bleu at home again because Cafe Pierrot has perfected it. This is a truly special place that makes you leave happier than when you walked in! read more

I can't write a review that encompasses all I like about Cafe Pierrot. It is my favorite place to lunch with a friend, the ONLY place to get special bakery goods and great takeout. I can only encourage you to try and see if you agree. read more

Not one bad thing to say about Cafe Pierrot. They are so nice and the food is soooo good.

Well, I have tried over and over, and this is the last time. Firstly, we went on my birthday for a late lunch, around 2. We were the ONLY table. So you would think more attention would be paid but.. when I unrolled my silverware, it was filthy, with food on it. Gross. Asked the waitress to take away. I then asked if I could get the salad of the day with grilled salmon, my favorite. She said" of course! " So I said again, "great, the salad special with grilled salmon." Now, the salad special had toasted nuts, and other special items. Frankly, I can get a plate of lettuce at home, the add-ons are what make a salad worthy of going out to eat. So, a different person came over with a salad with 5 small grilled shrimp and I said, "sorry that is not mine". He took it back. The waitress came back and spoke to me like I was in idiot, and said, " You ordered the salad from the special list, right? " I said yes, but with grilled salmon. She said, oh, I thought you said "shrimp- you don't have to pay for the shrimp".. so meanwhile, as I did not order what was now 5 cold little shrimps for my entire meal, and she should have said "Enjoy the shrimp and I'll have the salmon put on right away." Nope. So then, the salad that came just had lettuce and some sprinkled cheese, I asked for the nuts that were left off, and she brought me a small serving of regular walnuts, not the toasted or candied ones. My pot of tea never arrived at all......Whatever. My husbands burger was tasteless... why bother. And, on your birthday, a dessert is in order, but she did not even ask. This is the third time we had a lackluster experience there in a row, there are better places to go and spend our money. We had to go somewhere else to get a snack after , since the lettuce and 5 quarter sized shrimp were not enough to tide me over till dinner. Just miserable. OH AND DID I SAY WE WERE THE ONLY TABLE???? read more

They get it. A great menu , well prepared food and a baker that truly understands the fine European Bakery products. We have had always consistently prepared great meals. Our friends we bring feel the same way. Their sauces are exceptional. One of the few places that truly knows how to make beef bourginonne. Keep it up. Your place reminds me of the great local places, family owned, that were common in the part of Queens where I grew up. Why not a 5 star review? It does not have a liquor license. No problem for me... just not 5 stars. Do yourself a favor and give them a try and try great food at fair prices. an uncommon combination in this state. read more

I was enchanted from the moment I stepped in, farmhouse design made me feel at home, food was special, but the experience was only perfected from the young woman that helped me, I believe Ms Stephanie, she took my meal and Pierrot experience to beyond the next level. Over the top professional, perhaps in my experience I have never found a young woman(though pregnant) more cmbapable of leading a staff. This child, Ms Leenheer, perfect and over the top person to represent you. read more
