    A Bloomfield and NJ staple. Excellent chocolate's and deserts made in house, and the food is…read moreconsistently good and fairly priced. It has a small town feel, always busy but rarely a wait, and a great small town feel which perfectly fits Bloomfield, but no review would be complete without mentioning their national or global significance as a significant filming location from "The Soprano's" series. The chocolate shakes are reason enough to go there.

    I had wanted to check this place out as just a local landmark, so when I finally got around to it,…read moreI was very satisfied by the quality of the ice cream and the old fashioned vibes. There's a counter as well as booths. You can get some candy or ice cream to go as well as get some quick bites and of course, ice cream. I wanted to start with something standard to see how they did it and got a pineapple sundae with vanilla ice cream. The whipped cream and cherry on top made it adorable, and the ice cream was creamy and very vanilla. The wet walnut sundae also paired well with it. Both were just overflowing right out of the dish. Even though it's simple, it wasn't basic. We were served quickly and with pretty and tasty desserts. I admire the local history captured in photos. There is plenty of street parking nearby. The old school vibe is missed in a lot of places, so it's nice to sit down, relax, and just have a splendid treat.

    Can't believe I haven't yet reviewed Trina's Treats! This place is a gem! The family loves coming…read morehere and we always get their yummy shakes. Things to know: -Street parking only -Not a lot of tables to sit at -Great choices of ice cream and they let you taste -They make homemade goodies like chocolate pretzels, hot cocoa bombs, covered chocolate gummy bears and more Each time I visit the service is so friendly! And I always get their brownie nutella gourmet shake it's so delicious and worth all the calories lol. Come visit here it's worth the trip!

    I've never written a negative review before, but this experience was beyond unacceptable…read more I placed a custom cake order that we discussed, confirmed, and had in writing. I started calling at 9am to finalize the invoice and never heard back until 2pm. When I finally reached someone, I was spoken to with open hostility and told, "What was I supposed to do, make the cake in an hour?"--despite the fact that everything had been confirmed days prior. The owners mother and counter girl spoke to me in a way I've never experienced from any business or anyone for that matter . Shockingly rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I have written proof and photos showing they do take custom cake orders, despite later claiming they don't. There was no misunderstanding, no mix-up--just unacceptable behavior. I strongly recommend staying away from this establishment. No customer deserves to be treated this way.

    It's a nice throw-back to the "sweet shops" that were fairly common back when I was a kid,…read moreand...for all intents and purposes...don't really exist anymore. Every few weeks, I bring my birth mother to the laundromat a few doors down to do her laundry (which is considered an "essential service" in this age of Covid-19), and I usually stop here to pick up a few items (I guess the sweet shop is considered an "essential service" too). It's old-- you can see that walking in. In fact, my birth mother grew up in the area, and her late father...my grandfather...bought tobacco here. And her brother...my uncle...got one of his first jobs here. He was in his early teens, and he's in his early 70s now, so...that gives some indication of just how long this place has been in business (I'm sure the ownership has changed hands since then, of course). Towards the back is a sit down area that...if I'm not mistaken...was once a soda fountain. I wish it still existed as a soda fountain. Would love to have an old fashioned "black and white" soda, or something comparable. Some of my early positive memories concern the Preakness Luncheonette, which was Wayne's version of the "sweet shop." I can remember my father bringing me there for a lemon coke, which seemed very exotic at the time. They sold magazines, newspapers, candy, ice cream, cigarettes, hamburgers, etc. (On a side note, while I'm wandering down Memory Lane...as an adolescent, I became friendly with 2 cousins from Yonkers...Tommy and Ricky...who had contests with each other to see who could shoplift the most items. The Preakness Luncheonette was one of their targets, and Tommy asked me one time, as I sat outside as a spectator, "Ed, can I get you anything?" "How about a Creepy magazine?" He came back with 5 issues of Creepy magazine, plus several other items, easily winning the contest with his cousin. That incident lit a light bulb in my head: "Wow, this looks almost too easy! Who needs money? I don't have to deliver any more newspapers!" I began my "criminal career" as a shoplifter at the Luncheonette, stealing horror comics and "girlie" magazines...the hormones were starting to kick in...and moving on to books, records, toys, items I didn't really need, even a wall poster that I concealed in my pants leg. My "career" as a budding Dillinger ended when a guy at another store stopped me, lifted up my shirt. Some 6th sense had made me toss back the magazine I had been ready to shoplift before he stopped me. Not finding any contraband, he growled, "Get the f*ck out of my store." The thought of my father...a nice guy but fearsome when he was pissed...finding out terrified me more than the thought of jail did, and "scared me straight." But I would like to take this opportunity to apologize these many decades later to the owners of the Preakness Luncheonette, who seemed like regular people trying to run a small business. Which has been "out of business" for decades. My sincere apologies for any part I might have played in that.) The Manor does have a magazine section, but I've outgrown "girlie" magazines (although I still have a weakness for horror comics), and have no temptation to resort back to my childhood thievery. At the front counter, I buy 2 coffees. One large black, with lots of sugar, for my birth mother. One small black, for me, no sugar. To make up for the no sugar in the coffee, I also buy Italian honey candy, coconut chocolate, and a "Chunky." (This is what I guess I consider "recompense" for my good deed of helping out with the laundry.) You can buy Lotto tickets here, soda or sports drinks, cigarettes, as well as some canned items. Surprisingly, I've been able to buy paper towels and tissue paper here when those items have been in short supply elsewhere. The proprietors seem to be going out of their way to help their neighbors and customers during this Covid-19 crisis that we all find ourselves in. The gentleman I talked to said they were trying to bring in ample supplies of toilet paper and liquid hand soap as well. So it's a nice, nostalgic vibe from the past, and they're doing their part to be helpful in these trying times. For all that, I have to give them kudos. Now if they'd only re-activate that soda fountain in the back...

    Cute lil' old-fashioned sweet shop. Has turned into more of a convienience store though. They now…read morehave many more lotto cards everywhere. But it's still worth a look if you're ever in Rutherford. I guess I like this shop because I live in pa and have seen nothing like it. Overall, it's not bad and worth a shot....
