I was looking for a place that did custom cakes so I could order a 'pizza' cake for my daughter's…read morefirst birthday. I found Veriella's and sent them a few photos of what I wanted and they gave me quotes that were significantly cheaper than other similar bakeries in the area. For a 25-person cake, they said the lead time would be about two weeks. They have several cake flavors/fillings to choose from (some cost extra) and we went with a lemon cake with blueberry filling. It was such a good combination - everybody loved it and the cake came out on point to the picture I sent them. Communication was easy (via email). We actually ended up going into the bakery the day before pick-up because we decided to do some last-minute party favors with some Italian cookies. We got a bunch of rainbow cookies, sprinkle cookies, and a raspberry filled one. Unfortunately, these missed the mark. They tasted old and I'm pretty sure they order them from elsewhere because of the cardboard trays/plastic wrap they were wrapped in. I wouldn't come back for these but the next time I need another custom cake, I would definitely order from them again.

Each and every time I drove past I'd make a mental note that the next time I was in the area I'd…read moredefinitely stop by to check them out. (This went on for years, I'm sorry to admit.) Then - thanks to a mix of happenstance and holidays - I actually made it inside. After a few visits I can report that... It's tiny. The menu leans dessert/sweets heavy. They do have a small selection of breads and rolls. They have a savory/sandwich section (which I've yet to try). The offerings behind those glass cases look mouthwateringly enticing, the few items we've ordered (from semolina bread to carrot cake to their apple turnovers) have all been mighty delicious. How can you not be enamored by items like their (seasonal) personalized Easter Bundt cakes?! (Who even knew that petite Bundt pans were even a thing?) Veriella's location (just steps from a ridiculously busy intersection) makes finding a parking spot challenging, to say the least. Pricing is fair. The workers have all been awesome (friendly and accommodating). We're fans for sure.

I recently ordered a birthday cake and I wanted It to be as dye free as possible. White writing, roses and only one layer of chocolate in the middle the other was buttercream. The bottom I asked for a ring of rainbow sprinkles. When I got the cake I was amazed at how pretty It was!!! You could easily read the writing and the taste was incredible. The cake was fresh and was absolutely delicious. I will always recommend Mills. They have never let us down. I highly recommended the dye free look. The photo doesn't do It justice.

Do I have anything to do with them after the class? Nope, but I love taking the classes that to the most recent one, I brought 3 friends and was yelled at by another for them not being invited, whoops. I usually end up donating the cake to a local firehouse. The class is such a fun time and Christina is awesome at facilitating. She lets you have full creative freedom when decorating. And the cakes are always delicious. This most recent one was a strawberry lemonade flavor and another was Neapolitan which I got compliments on both, even though I've only done the decorating. I'm excited to see what they have next!

The ingredients of the cupcakes were top notch as well, tasted so good, my guests were commenting how it was the best cupcake frosting they have ever tasted. And the 'icing on the cake' was that we received a premium custom-made cake at a reasonable price! I will definitely be using Polkadot Cake Shop for future events, thanks for making my son's birthday a memorable one!

Before Cristal, I was always hesitant about cakes because most of the time the beautiful as the tic of the cake meant the taste of the cake was compromised, but not with her cakes! Cristal's cakes look as amazing as they taste. My personal favorite is chocolate Nutella, but honestly, I could go for any of the flavors that she makes. She takes her time to create these tasty pieces of edible art and it is well worth it! Her cupcakes and cookies are also incredibly delicious and phenomenal. I honestly end up ordering extra so i can have more for me to enjoy after everyone goes crazy for them. There's no other person I would go to, her desserts are worth every single cent.

My initial thought was that there were not many German style pastries/food like I imagined there might be (cannolis were the 1st item I saw when entering). I chose a blueberry scone to share (the price was steep at $4.50 - it would have been $1 more if I would have paid with a credit card). I the scone was slightly burnt underneath and lacked any real flavor, even the blueberries oddly had almost no flavor. I was excited to visit a German bakery but was left a little underwhelmed.

As a young kid from Louisiana, one of the first things I missed was the culture, flavor, and sweet treats that reminded me of home in New Orleans. Back then, my teammates used to tease me relentlessly about being the "fat rookie from Louisiana" because I was always chasing pralines, cookies, pastries, and every sugary delight imaginable. Not long after arriving, I stumbled upon a hidden gem that instantly made me feel at home -- Lyndhurst Pastry Shop. This led me to "SACKING" tons of NFC QB's over the years. From day one, Paulette, Jerry, her father, and the entire staff have treated me like family. Decades later, they are still absolutely knocking it out of the park. Whether it's their incredible Italian ice, authentic cannoli, specialty cookies, or my personal weakness -- their unbelievable apple rings -- this place never disappoints. Truth be told, I can't stop there without bringing one home for my wife. Some places serve food. Others serve memories, tradition, and comfort. Lyndhurst Pastry Shop has done that for me for over 40 years. A true North Jersey institution. Five stars isn't enough -- if I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Leonard A.

The Lyndhurst Pastry Shop located on Ridge Road is an iconic must visit during the holiday season…read more There quality pastry, cookie, pie, bread, and cakes are without peer and their staff is always professional and top rate. I ordered the Christmas Honey balls ($19.95) and the Fudge Layer Cake ($29.50) and while I disagree with the credit card fee being passed to the consumer, the quality of the product exceeds that cost. Inside the venue is a true classic bakery atmosphere and while there is usually a line, the service is brisk and moves fairly quickly. If you want to impress your holiday season guests, family or friends, the LPS is the right venue for traditional Italian baked goods and desserts! As i return to NJ for the holidays, I will make at least three or four stops at LPS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

They chatted with everyone and were extremely open to us asking for recommendations. They even accommodated request for our a corner piece from the tray of cinnamon rolls :) Seems like a bit of a silly request but they did not make us feel bad about it at all, and happily boxed it up for us. We got a blueberry cinnamon roll, the brown butter banana bread, and a turkey BLT. Plus a honey lavender latte for my daily caffeine dose. The cinnamon roll was fluffy and the icing with blueberry topping were perfectly balanced. It was not overly sweet! I don't particularly enjoy banana, but the brown butter banana bread was divine. It wasn't dry nor overly moist and was the perfect bread/cake hybrid texture. The brown butter icing added an additional layer of nuttiness. The turkey BLT was served on their foccacia with tomatoes from a farmer's market - recommended by the staff. This was a great savory addition and they didn't skimp on the turkey bacon. The tomato was juicy but not too watery, and held its own in the sandwich. I didn't think I'd be writing about the tomato but it was very fresh and high quality! It's obvious they care genuinely about the menu items they put out, and the service they provide. It was a bit pricey, but well worth it. I can't wait to visit again.
