It's a bit pricey (typically $65 a tray) but it's very worth it because you can either eat it over the course of 3 days or freeze for longer, and it's absolutely delicious if you're a fan of shortbread. I was waiting for there to be more unique gluten free versions before I bought it for someone who can't have gluten. This holiday season satisfied that longing when I got an email about their new holiday flavors, 4 of which come gluten free using King Arthur flour. Bought the pumpkin pie one, and I'm not sure how they managed to do it, but it's incredible. There's no discernible difference from their regular shortbreads. Super rich and buttery and the pumpkin pie topping was smooth and flavorful. Your credit card bill will be sad but your mouth won't

Always been a fan of Mango Mango ever since the first opening in Edison! This location is great -…read morethe ambiance is cute and cozy, it's clean, and food is consistent. I love the new spoons they're so cute, and their take out bags have really great quality and durability - you can keep reusing it, it doesn't wear out. It can get busy during the weekends which is to be expected so would def advise being patient and not rushing the experience - enjoy it! Also their mango desserts are great but my favorite item from them is the creme brûlée crepe cake - immaculate

This place popped up on my map and as a banana pudding enthusiast I absolutely had to come check it out. It was a little annoying that they had already run out of party trays and so I had to settle for getting 2 pints instead. The girls at the register were super friendly though, and tried everything to make the packaging look super cute and presentable. The ube banana pudding is so unique and to die for. The regular banana pudding is also really really good. Overall, I also really like the aesthetic of this place, you could totally sit here and enjoy your dessert. My friends absolutely devoured both the puddings I got, and they were a total hit. If you are in JC, this has to be your go to dessert spot.

There's so many yummy flavors - it's hard to choose! I ultimately went with the rocky road (my classic favorite) and the cheesecake with rainbow sprinkles (because why not!?) and enjoyed every bite! I think the rocky road could've used more marshmallows but that's my personal preference for my favorite childhood fave ice cream. Service was great and allow you to try a couple flavors if you're unsure which is great as not all ice cream spots makes the flavors the same! It's only street parking so get ready to search for that when you come to visit - but it's worth it! And read street signs so you don't get towed or ticketed.

The cookies tasted fresh baked, nice thickness.

I get disappointed if it was sold out or the chef didn't make it on my visit. The spread of Yuzu Marmalade on top of the cake makes big difference. When it was replaced by squeezes of white butter cream, it became totally different taste and flavor, which i didn't care at all. The white milky cream in between layers tastes so good as well. It blends perfectly with matcha sponge and Yuzu marmalade in your mouth. I have also tried a madelane raspberry cheesecake, a madelane lemon cheesecake, a chocolate hazelnut opera, and a flan. Both cheesecakes were very flavorful and could spread raspberry or lemon flavor in my mouth right after the first bite. I liked both very much. I also really liked a chocolate hazelnut opera. Its chocolate hazelnut cream was so good. In the end, I liked all of their "opera" cakes. Flan was okay. Not my favorite. It was just a baked version of flan. It's too simple.

While the space itself is a bit small and more for takeout, it does have a variety of different cookies from sea salt chocolate chip to snickerdoodles to smores, given the huge size of the cookies I opted to order the mini cookies instead, specifically the peanut butter and the chocolate chip. Both were delicious and very crumbly, even when toasted up the next day. There was not a line when I ordered and my order was processed fairly quickly.

The Pineapple Bobo with coconut milk was another good one. Pineapple and boba worked surprisingly well together. Black Grape Cheese is still my go-to. I always get it with no sugar and it's honestly not sweet at all. Mango Sago is my husband's favorite. Even with no added sugar, it's still naturally sweet because the mango is so ripe. For fresh fruit tea in JC, this is still my favorite spot. Get the seasonal fruit drinks while they're available. And you might get lucky and see the cute guy working behind the counter.
