    Hollowed out cupcakes.  All buttercream icing.

    There was hardly any cake and what was there was very stale. They were so dry it was very disappointing. They were hollowed out and filled with sickening sweet icing. We tried to eat just the cake part but it wasn't even worth it. We bought 4. Paid $17 dollars and threw them all away. This was our favorite bakery during Covid. Something has changed. We will not be back

    Came here to pick up a Fourth of July birthday cake and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The shop itself has that nostalgic east coast bakery feel with all sorts of cookies and candies on display. The gal helping us was kind and welcoming. The extra large cake was tasty and looked just like the American flag-- strawberries, while cream and all. Will def be back next year for a replica!

    I've always loved chocolate carousel! they were amazing! they were able to make my daughters cake with an edible image at last minute and less then 24 hours and it came out AMAZING!

    Five stars every time! From custom birthday cakes, to their homemade chocolates, we are always pleased with our desserts! They go above and beyond for theme parties!

    This is exactly what I asked for and more. It was absolutely delicious and the attention to detail is so on point. I couldn't be happier on how my twins birthday cake came out. Highly highly recommend The Chocolate Carousel!

    My fiancé and I were supposed to get married at Clark's Landing on April 17th. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we were unable to have our big celebration. However, I ordered a carrot cake (our favorite from our tasting) from Chocolate Carousel along with 2 buttercream donuts. We were able to pick it up curbside. Everything was amazing! It made the day still feel special while we cut our cake over a zoom call with family. Also, at our cake tasting, everything was so delicious. We were able to pick different flavors for each tier which made us incredibly happy because there's no way we could pick just one. We cannot wait until next year when we get our big cake on our rescheduled wedding day!

    Chocolate Carousel made our wedding cake. It was white cake with strawberry and cannoli filling. The best wedding cake we have ever tried. Everyone loved the cake, some of our guest were going to the other tables to take the cannoli cake slices. They also offered to make our anniversary cake, it came out perfect.

    Our first anniversary cake! A replica of our wedding cake: white cake with cannoli cream. Just as delicious as our wedding night

    Absolutely fantastic bakery -- was the preferred bakery for my wedding venue and price included a cake. I was leary since wedding cakes are notorious for being dry. Boy was I wrong!!! Hubby and I live out of state so we were not able to do a tasting or pick up a tasting box. Elizabeth (?) walled us through amazing combos over the phone. We ultimately ended up with a 3 tier cake with two different flavors: carrot cake with cream cheese filling and choc/vanilla cake with cannoli filling. Everyone raved about the cake. We CANNOT wait until our 1 yr wedding anniversary to go back for our complimentary anni cake. The cake was flavorful, moist, and super delicious. They also have tons of great seasonal flavors

    Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. Thank you!

    See all

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel obligated to warn…read moreothers. Yesterday I purchased eight brownies for over $30 from this bakery for a birthday celebration at work. At that price point, I expected something fresh, rich, and worthy of being brought to a group. What I got instead were stale, dry brownies that tasted like they had been sitting out for days. It was honestly embarrassing to serve them. They were noticeably old and completely underwhelming, especially for a bakery that positions itself as a premium spot. If you're charging luxury prices, the product needs to match. Freshness should be the absolute bare minimum, and unfortunately, that wasn't even close here. I won't be returning, and I definitely wouldn't recommend this place for anything you're bringing to an event.

The various types of biscotti we purchased as well as the crumble cheesecake were highlights from our selections. Definitely worth a stop in to see what interests your sweet tooth. The Deets: After dinner in Asbury Park this recent visit, it was decided a visit was needed down to Del Ponte's Bakery along Main St in Bradley Beach. This bakery's huge selection of Italian pastries and sweet treats was almost overwhelming! Multiple display cases of deliciousness awaited us inside the shop, we really took our time to look over all of it before decisions were made. We had basically thought going in that we would nab some fresh biscotti (which of course, we did, in different varieties, all delicious) but also ended up with some other goodies such as crumble cheesecake (so good!), cookies, etc. We feasted well each morning, believe you me. It was on the Friday evening of Labor Day holiday weekend and I think the young staffers there had a long day. We were served well, but from the "Can I help who is next, already?!" for example that was shouted out across the shop full of customers sort of came across as "let's get this done now" but hey, never know what they already had been through that day, right? They gathered up all our choices from case to case when it was our turn and we were pretty pleased with the boxes full of baked goodness as all of it didn't last long. Del Ponte's Bakery is a good stop to make if wanting some sweet treats to take home and enjoy, we are glad we did so.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing and even unsafe. When we first walked in, my toddler picked up a teddy bear from the window display that was within her reach. Before I could return it, the woman behind the counter sharply told us to put it back. If décor is placed at child level, a kinder approach would go a long way. The bigger issue came when I asked for a simple cup of water for my kids. Despite spending nearly $50 on pizza, I was told they don't offer water and directed to buy bottled water. After back and forth (and my son in tears), someone reluctantly filled his bottle, but only with a rude attitude that made me feel like I was asking for something out of line. To make matters worse, while I was speaking with the staff, my son leaned on a plastic mobile fence-like partition on wheels, which tipped over and injured his foot. His foot swelled immediately, and not once did anyone on staff check if he was okay. Later, my husband asked for a pizza box and again was met with attitude instead of help. I don't consider my family high maintenance, nor were any of my requests egregious. I've never once encountered such attitude from a local business -- especially in a family-friendly town like Asbury Park. The pizza itself was fine, but the service, lack of hospitality, and unsafe setup in the restaurant made this an awful experience for our family. Pizza should be a family-friendly outing -- Crust & Crumble made it anything but. We will not be returning.

After striking out at several…read moreother seasonal ice cream spots, we were thrilled to find Hoffman's still open and scooping up smiles, even in mid-October. Despite the long line on a Saturday night, it was clear everyone knew what we were about to discover: Hoffman's is worth the wait. We grabbed two flavors of their hard ice cream to-go: double chocolate chip and salted caramel with pretzel crumbles. Both were packed to the brim in the container and absolutely delicious, with just the right amount of creamy sweetness and texture. The shop itself was spotless, and while service was a bit slow (scooping hard ice cream takes some muscle), it was steady and diligent. There are a few benches outside, perfect for those who want to enjoy their treat on the spot. Pro tip: get there early if you want to avoid the wait--even in October. But trust me, the wait is more than worth it when you're treated to some of the best ice cream around.

I had the coffee and instead of getting it in a cup, like I usually do, I got a cake cone. It was a great decision! When was the last time you had your ice cream on a cake cone?
