Stopped here for a bite again - this time more pictures. They have parking in the back, but downstairs is very tight (best for compacts only). The sweet is better - double chocolate dipped croissants were good. The thousand layer bread was just ok, and the savory garlic ham sandwich was meh - we didn't like the onions, they were very weird if you didn't eat them right away. They do take credit cards.
I am a buns guy. I frequently come here when I'm in the area, it's one of the most authentic Korean bakeries around New York. They are even up to trend with all of the popular bun styles that they offer in Korea. As with most Korean buns, most bread might be a sweet and savory is rare. The staff are busy and friendly, quick to replace and lay out fresh ones. Come quickly or they sell out. There's seating available with utensils, great for chatting or eating the buns on the spot.
Korean bakeries are a dime a dozen, especially in areas with dense Asian populations like Palisades Park. But when I asked fellow bread-lovers about their favorite spots, D'avant Bakery was mentioned with fair regularity. After a few visits, I'd have to agree. I've tried a number of things, all of which have ranged from satisfactory to superb. I love their loaves, which are unimaginably fluffy and have that touch of sweetness that elevate any sandwich or French toast that you make with them. Any of their signature croissant goodies are sure to please. My particular favorite is their million-layer croissant loaf, which allows you to tear a loaf of sugar-crusty bread into diaphanously thin slices. It's a magical piece of baking artistry, and I never leave D'avant without at least two of these in hand. This bakery gets a lot of love, which comes with its pluses and slight downsides. On the positive side of things, offerings are fresh and the staff works hard to keep things clean and organized, even with the regular throngs of people. That said, things slip through the cracks every now and again. Sometimes orders get mixed up, lines wind around to make aisles crowded, or wait times for service can get a little long. There is paid street parking but with so much popular commerce in the area, spots can be hard to come by, particularly during weekends or mealtimes.
Impressive display of pastries & cakes, and reminds me of the cafes in Korea! My fiance and I stopped by after dinner nearby, and decided to get the choux cream honey pastry & the strawberry cloud macchiato. The pastry & coffee were both good, but service left much to be desired. One of the ladies was unnecessarily unpleasant, but the other was efficient.
Ordered a large 2 level cake. It was supposed to be chocolate cake with strawberry filling. 2 of my guest asked me if the filling went bad and some said it tasted like cinnamon. I tasted it myself the filling flavor was off, not pleasant. Then the cake itself did not taste like chocolate. It definitely was embarrassing since I announced our chocolate cake to everyone. As for the look. It was pretty. I would have preferred the name on top instead of the bottom. But I will never preorder a cake from here. I have bought premade cakes before, just walk in and buy. those were always good. But this preordered was over $200 that did not taste like chocolate cake. So if you want cake get it from the already made window. It was for a Korean first bday so you know how important this was.
I have passed by here so many times and finally got a chance to stop in. The selection is amazing! So many sweet and savory options. I got the pistachio croissant donut and I am now obsessed. It was filled with a lot of delicious pistachio cream and the white chocolate glaze had such a perfect 'cracking' texture. Definitely going for the chocolate version next! I also had the croque monsieur with corn and s'mores cookie, which were delicious too. The s'mores cookie is more like a stuffed croissant so it is very filling. Consensus among my fellow tasters was the pistachio donut! Pricing is on the higher side but very worth it. The food quality is excellent and portions are very large. Luckily I had family to share it with bc there are signs that the cream products should be consumed within 24 hours. Everything I tried was very fresh. You can park out front and there is signage for a parking lot in back. I'm definitely coming back here!
Have been here multiple times after initially discovering it a few years ago after getting my hair cut at a salon in the same building. Much better quality and selection than something like Paris Baguette There's always a decent amount of people, but never much of a wait to checkout. Seating is somewhat limited but I usually get everything to go Favorites are matcha croissant, matcha and black sesame tigre, garlic cream cheese bun, matcha/red bean and sesame/red bean breads!
Ordered: Snow Strawberry Matcha Croissant (~$7) Ube White Chocolate Cookie (~$5) Small Iced Cloud Macchiato (~$6) Small Iced Lychee Coconut Cloud (~$7) Aya's take: Beautiful drinks, fresh & fluffy pastries, and variety for days! What more could you ask for? The hard part is not putting one of everything on the tray and just choosing a couple that catch your eye the most. I landed on the Snow Strawberry Matcha Croissant which was fantastic! The croissant was soft and flaky, the matcha cream was absolute perfection, and the strawberries were fresh and sweet! I didn't expect this to be as good as it was. The Ube White Chocolate Cookie was also a good try. The ube flavor isn't as strong or noticeable but the white chocolate brought out the flavors well. Now for the drinks! My Iced Lychee Coconut Cloud looked nothing like the photo lol. It looks like the cloud part was already mixed with the coconut water that's supposed to be under it. Other than that, great lychee flavor, not overly sweet, and a solid summer drink. The Iced Cloud Macchiato was more bold and creamy. For some reason, the seating area was a bit loud and chaotic but nonetheless, I'm glad I finally made it here. I would absolutely come back!
The last few times that we visited NJ, my bf and I would always visit this bakery to bring back to NYC. I'm obsessed with their strawberry ube latte drink. I've had their strawberry matcha one as well and it was good but I prefer the ube one more. As for their bakery items, I really like their garlic bread chips and their sesame red bean cream buns! The place has lots of seating and it always has a decent amnt of ppl inside. The staff is nice and friendly.
Such a lovely bakery! Honestly, I love the bread and cakes here more than PB and TLJ. Everything is so good--I'm definitely ordering a whole cake for the next birthday! I kinda want to gatekeep it, but had to say... I love everything here!!
As a weekly customer, I came in with my friend because we wanted to study. We set our things down before we got up to get the sweet breads that we usually get. Immediately a worker came up to us and told us that we have to buy something in order to be here -- her exact words. I hadn't even gotten the chance to sit down and she was being quite rude. Not sure if it's because we were dressed in our gym clothes or just how we looked but I did not appreciate how they were eyeing us down and her tone. I stayed to study just to make them uncomfortable but will definitely not be returning here again. Just for proof, here's the sweet bread we always get and got today. Also l an example of their $9 iced matcha w extra foam that we have been getting weekly since November. Do better!
I've now been here several times and it's become one of my go-to stops whenever I'm in the area. I've even had a friend pick up a goguma cake here for my birthday and it was SO good! I love the pastries they have here as it's more Korean style than the ones in mainstream bakeries like Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours. It's hard to find seating so it's more of a takeaway place for me!
Although the store clearly sells iced coffee--meaning they do have access to ice--I was extremely disappointed with the level of customer service I received, especially on a day with such high temperatures. I kindly requested a small amount of ice to help keep my friend's birthday cake cool during transport, and my request was denied without consideration. What's most frustrating is that there is a sign stating that all fresh cakes must be kept refrigerated and served within 24 hours. I explained that I would be driving a long distance and that the cake would be out of the refrigerator for at least two hours. Despite this, they still refused to provide even a small portion of ice to help preserve the quality of the cake. A simple gesture like that could have made a big difference and shown a genuine care for customers. I have appreciated this business in the past, but this experience was truly disappointing. I don't wish to name individuals, but the manager I spoke with did not demonstrate the professionalism or customer service that one would expect in such a role.
Been hearing about this bakery spot for a while now. There's a nice selection of pastries and all of them look delicious. Got the red bean matcha sandwich which was interesting tasting, but overall it was a nice experience and taste pretty good. Service was quick and efficient. Interior is well designed, moderate noise. read more

My husband just came home with pastries from heaven! He got the cinnamon roll and this croissant square thing that is absolutely incredible!!! This location was very calm and had quick service. It was pretty quiet and like a great spot to sit and enjoy your coffee and pastries. read more

A travel unto a cafe in Paris. The pastries are very reminiscent to our visit in Paris, definitely recommend. I just happened to find it while walking around, settled a bit away from the main area from pal park busiest commercial hub. read more

This restaurant has a lot of patrons. Got smore's pastry and matcha cheesecake, both were satisfying and not too sweet. The cheesecake was served frozen though, I was informed it was and still took a chance, not regretting it. I was able to eat the part that gets thawed gradually, and again, it was good. I wish they would have something at the right temperature though. i mean, unless they would not want to sell it. The Ssuk cold brew, I sighed over. The coffee was a little sour. If I am in the area, I will go back for the pastries, bread and cakes... but not the coffee. read more
Definitely my go-to bakery in Bergen County! The pastries are always consistently great (although some of them are pricey and can add up very quickly). My favorites are the rice donuts, almond crossaint, croquettes, twisted donut, and the cakes. Their cakes are the absolute best! Their coffees are also good but nothing too special. The downside is that there aren't that much seating especially during the weekends. read more
Really solid! Wish NYC had something like this. The desserts are fresh and taste really good. Matcha biscuit: Moist and buttery - it's got bits of chocolate and matcha. Love the matcha creamy center. Not too sweet. Wish I got 2! 9/10 Matcha croissant: Flaky and yummy with generous matcha on the top and even matcha powder. The croissant can be slightly softer but overall pretty good. Lafayette Bakery in Manhattan could never! 8.5/10 Sweet potato pastry: Thought it would be gooeyer but really good esp for someone who doesnt care for sweet potato flavored things. 7.5/10 read more
Impressed with their service, drinks and their pastries. Definitely a step up from last time I was there. The drinks are so much better. The menu is easy to read and the peach lychee black tea drink is so good. Plus, I love their sparkling strawberry lemonade with the popping balls, The bake goods are always good, the strawbrrry and cream bread is amazing! My favorite. read more

I had ordered a customized cake for baby shower and oh what a beautiful cake they have prepared! It looked perfect with baby blue and baby pink color as well so appetizing. I just wanted to keep staring at this cake. Everyone in the party relished the cake. As expected the sweetness was optimum and so moist that it melted in mouth right away. Especially the mom-to-be absolutely loved it! The rates are reasonable too, if we compare to other bakeries in the neighborhood. They were so patient in taking this custom order. Also provided me some great recommendations for the detailing on the cake. They drew such cute picture in the order slip giving me an apt idea of how the cake is gonna look. I would definitely like to try their other bakery items like breads, pastries, coffee the next time. read more
@foodie_starry If you are a sweet teeth, go try this Korean bakery for exquisite pastries! Highlight seasonal delights, crafted with high-quality ingredients for a truly delightful experience.

I started coming back to this cafe and noticed they have improved quite a bit since my last visit. They have a variety of pastries that actually taste good, and continue to make the popular staple pastries very well. I appreciate their ability to experiment and add new pastries while removing ones that may not be as good. I love their thick cut white bread too for sandwiches or french toast. However their coffee is still very bitter and isn't a place I would go for a good latte. read more

Love this place and wish I lived closer! Every time I go I get the sweet cream iced coffee. For baked goods, love the croissants! Though we haven't had anything underwhelming here. read more
love this cafe so much. the iced dalgona latte is amazing (and can be made dairy free - i get it with soy milk) it's honestly not too sweet as long as you don't go crazy and stir up the dalgona right away. i also appreciate when you order a large it comes with a quad shot (not the norm in the city). their pastries and sandwiches are great too, they have a lot of interesting selections so you can't go wrong. they have a good amount of seating but this place is very popular so it's usually hard to find a table. read more
Such a cool bakery! A friend introduced me to it, and wow, some of their baked goods I've never seen before in Korean bakeries. We got a Black Blueberry Moth, Garlic Cream Cheese Bread, Dalgona Milk Tea and Americano coffee. I would recommend for the Dalgona Milk Tea to get half the Dalgona, which is a coffee/sugar brittle that dissolves in the drink, because the drink becomes super super sweet with the normal amount of Dalgona. The Black Blueberry Moth and Garlic Cream Cheese Bread were both delicious, the Black Blueberry Moth especially. I can't wait to try their cakes, including their Earl grey cake. read more
Always packed. Always something new. I rated 4 stars only because I miss the lunches!!!! They had the best menu idk why it's gone. Everything: Parking - limited free parking in the back. Otherwise street parking. Baked goods- there's always a huge variety. From savory to sweet! I've always come to this bakery but there's a whole ton I have still yet to try. Dalgona list - pass Snow drinks - can't go wrong with the iced coffees Spacious seating - good for a chat, good for kids. I love the big spacious tables. Minimal outlets. A good place to bring your laptops. Cakes - the best deal for cakes in north jersey! You can order 3 tiered cakes even 2 days in advance! No delivery offered though. read more
This is my favorite bakery in Palisades Park! They have lots of varieties to choose from. If you want savory or sweet, they have it. They have new creations all time that keeps me coming back to try them. They also offer Korean cafe food and brunch but I have yet to try those. Whenever I'm in the area in the mornings, I always stop in for a croissant and coffee. They can get pretty busy so the ambiance is not the most comfortable at times when it's crowded. During odd hours on weekdays, it's a create place to come to get some work done and enjoy a nice drink and pastry. It's party of a small commercial complex with a few parking space available to customers. read more
