Central Jersey has some independent shops but it's largely Wegmans and ShopRite wearing the baker's apron. In that dessert desert we now have Paris Baguette filling the void.

The man stocking the serve yourself pastry shelves was very knowledgeable of all the products. There were no labels out yet because I arrived early and they were still stocking, so i had lots of questions. They are a little pricey here though I must say $$. Pretty upscale quality food though, so I guess it is worth it in the end. Inside is pretty spacious with a good amount of seating. There is not too much decor, it was pretty modern in here. I would come back when I am in town and I would recommend dropping in and trying a delicious pastry or 2 ! :)

This place feels like an authentic French bakery, with wonderful aromas wafting all around you, tempting you to order far more than just one pastry. The aesthetics are calm and inviting, and I really appreciated that they don't rush you to finish and leave. The employees were incredibly kind and even warmed up my croissant for me, which made it that much better. Located right in the heart of downtown Somerville, it's definitely worth stopping by for a bite or two... or three. And honestly, I'll take a goodie bag to go, too, please.

We all thought it was unfortunately too dry and pretty tasteless. Later on we tried the Irish Soda bread which we did not particularly like as well. That too was very dry and kind of crumbly. The coating of flour on top was too much and left a dryness in my mouth. It was not a good experience for me and I'm not sure if I'll ever go back.

I'm always on the hunt for good donuts in general so I was hype to try something outside of DD. I got a box full of assorted donuts - the maple bacon and cinnamon looked especially good. I got a cronut (legit one of my fave donuts ever) for a car snack. Mind ya business. I'm not gonna lie. My box of dough and sidecar were $31. Pricey! But the service was warm, the donuts looked fresh and airy, and the other items - braided breads, cookies, etc. enticed me to visit again in the near future. Happy to spend my money in a local business. Also, the cronut was fantastic. So light, perfect tasting icing, great layers. I'd like to think I chose wisely.

Pretty homey feel when you walk into the store. There was a cute selfie wall when you walk to the register. The menu is pretty extensive. I debated getting a drink but was so full from lunch that I got a box of the ube crinkle instead. My husband did order an ube shake for him and my son, so the three of us shared. First I noticed that people don't come here for one drink- people leave with 4-5! Everything looked so good coming out that I couldn't wait to try my husband's shake. Staff was friendly and place was clean! They did have those floor fans going on which I assume was to try the wet footprints from the melting snow outside, so I think that made the restaurant louder the it is. The ube shake was delicious! It was a little hard to drink at first because it was made pretty icy. I'd prefer mine to be a little smoother, but not a huge thing since it'll just melt. My 5 year old LOVED the "ice cream". He drank a good amount which was shocking. I had the ube crinkle when I got home and it was SO good. It was the perfect softness and it wasn't overly powered on top. I ended up eating a second one, which I normally would never do but I couldn't help myself! It wasn't overly sweet or coated with powder and the softness just made it that much better. Would I come back? I would if I happen to be in the area, I will definitely stop by to try the rest of their cakes/drinks!

Pssst... want to taste real ube instead of the artificial flavoring? Then look no further than Kafé…read morede Manila. Everything here is lovingly crafted by Kathy, the owner, who makes items from scratch, including their ice cream. You can truly taste the difference: fresh ube, no artificial flavors. Just pure goodness. Kathy and her husband take great pride in their Filipino menu, offering a variety of delightful treats centered around the beloved purple yam. Now, you might be wondering, what exactly is ube, and why is it so popular? Contrary to popular belief, ube isn't a fruit. It's actually a purple sweet potato that's highly sought after in the Philippines. If you love taro, you'll love ube even more. It's a staple in many Filipino desserts and dishes, known for its rich flavor and vibrant color. If you're in search of delectable drinks and cookies, this is your spot. Their signature ube drinks range from floats and lattes to coffees, milk teas, and even ice cream. All with delicious bits of real ube in every sip. Not in the mood for ube? No problem. They offer a wide variety of options, including their Pinoy series, pandan drinks, Milo drinks, matcha, cold brews, and more. And I have to mention, they now serve Vietnamese coffee, Filipino-style. It's pure heaven in a 16 oz cup. The shop itself has great lighting, perfect for IG, Yelp photos, or even vlogging. Just note that seating is very limited.

There are a few gluten-friendly options and they are able to accommodate a lot of custom requests with some advanced notice. I love that they have specials for different holidays. I recently started taking advantages of their specials: I ordered a Triple Mousse Cake from their Valentine's Day specials (soooo good!) and a Berry Deluxe King Cake from their Mardi Gras specials. I'm always on the lookout on social media to see what the next specials are to be able to treat myself.

It's a short walk away, and they are now in Epic Cookies' old location. This new space is bigger and more front and center. A lot of people did not realize that their old location was even there on Division Street, until I took them there. They just opened this location about three days ago, so it was pretty busy when I visited today, and even Karin and her husband were in there helping out! Both very kind people! I came in for my favorite "Death by Chocolate" cupcake and was excited to try two new flavors, Coconut Guava and Lemon Raspberry. I usually check their website ahead of time to see what seasonal cupcakes they have before visiting, I saw those and rush over here. P.s. please bring back the Versailles Cupcake from Summer '25! That raspberry filling is heaven sent, and part of the reason why I came by to try the Lemon raspberry flavor! Even with the rush, the staff was just as friendly as always. I really love it here and always bring my family and friends when they are in town! I'll definitely miss the charm of the old location, but I'm excited for them in this new space and hope that it works out well for them!

They also have breakfast and lunch options which I'm sure I'll try another time. And everyone who works there are very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this place.
