Their banana bread is super moist and delicious with just the right amount of sweetness as well. We also got two sandwiches: chicken BLT and tuna sandwich.

They also had some custom cakes in their cake case and they looked incredible. I look forward to being back.

I would like to try other things next time.

When visiting friends in the area, this has become my go to spot to make a box of treats to bring over. And when I find myself leaving any sort of activity or class in the Monroe Center, I will very often stop in for a little afternoon snack or pick me up. Happy to have discovered Yuki's!

All of their pastries look so good and each one ive tried has NOT disappointed. If you get the focaccia make sure to warm it up so the edges are crispy. I also recommend their homemade cookies, super soft and not overly sweet. Their tea cake and berries also surprised me. It was very moist and had a crispy sugar top layer that balanced the coffee. I will be back until I try everything for sure. Staff is so so friendly and they know their regulars very well.

I stopped by Annie & Em's Bakeshop in search of their cinnamon donuts of which I had seen pictures…read more Unfortunately, they were out of those and there is no guarantee they will be available unless one orders them in advance for pickup. The ladies working here were so kind and gracious about it, explaining how to order the cinnamon donuts in advance and they freeze well if you order a large quantity, so I purchased an apple cinnamon caramel scone instead. I ate it the next day and it was very good. I appreciated that it was a scone and not too sweet. There are chunks of apple in there with a definitive cinnamon presence. The caramel is drizzled over the top. It would go well with coffee or tea, particularly chai. There are other offerings here and if you see the cinnamon donuts, do not pass them up. 3.5 stars, but I am certain that could be revised upwards if I sample more of their baked goods.

Gluten free heaven! This was once home to Tutta Pesca, a favorite seafood restaurant of mine. And…read morewhile I'm sad they're gone, I'm overjoyed to have this great little bakery in its place. I'm not gluten free but love any and all sweets. And I have so many GF people in my life. We were all patiently awaiting their grand opening and let me tell you: it was worth the wait. I stopped in shortly before they closed to pick up a box of cookies to bring to said gluten free friends. I got a mix of the sugar cookies, chocolate chip and sea salt caramels. All are incredible and none give the slightest hint that they are made to be GF. Crazy moist (Oy, sorry if you hate that word, but they were MOIST), soft and flavorful. The sugar cookie stole the show for me but I don't think you'll find a cookie you don't like. They had so many lots of vegan options as well if that's something you're on the hunt for. I can't wait to stop in again and try more of their cakes and sweet treats. Happy to have you in Mile Square!

Heard so much about their cinnamon rolls!! So glad I finally got the opportunity to try them. I…read morewaited on line for approx 20 mins. I got the original cinnamon roll and the April special, which was carrot cake. Also got a strawberry shortcake matcha. The rolls are big! Worth the price and wait in my opinion. I preferred the original over the carrot cake. The carrot cake roll had some big pieces of carrot lol a bit unexpected because I assumed the carrots would be a bit more finely grated. but not bad! the carrot taste is just a lot more prominent. strawberry shortcake matcha was good, but I think the cinnamon rolls are the real star here. There's a good amount of seating. Staff is very kind. Def want to come back to try the other special cinnamon roll flavors in the coming months!

The cinnamon rolls were fantastic but absolutely not worth the hassle it took to get them. I…read moredragged myself out at 6:30am to make the hour long drive to Hoboken, and then waited in line in the pouring rain just to finally try one of these famous cinnamon rolls. They were very good, do not get me wrong. And if I lived in the area, I probably would come here quite often. However, they don't hold up well as leftovers so I would only buy what you're able to eat that day as it loses a lot once it's no longer fresh. The coffee was honestly nothing to write home about which surprised me since it looked better, maybe I got a bad batch. The store itself was cute inside, liked the little play area for kids. Again if I lived in the area, this would probably be a good spot to get work done. Maybe it's for the best that I live far... as I'd probably be getting cinnamon rolls far more often than I should be.

I tried the seasonal gingerbread and the sea salt chocolate chip this time around. The gingerbread had that perfect warm spice, and the sea salt on the chocolate chip really elevates the flavor to a whole new level. I've also had their Ube and Red Velvet cookies in the past - both are absolute standouts. It's hard to pick a favorite because they are all consistently delicious. It's the perfect local establishment - friendly staff, great mix of classic and seasonal options, and you can tell everything is made with love :)

I've never eaten anything that I didn't like. My faves are: milhojas, breakfast croissant sandwich, and any and every cake with dulce de leche filling. I only tiny, minuscule complaint I have about this place is the lack of signage for the pastries and cakes. It would be nice to know what I'm looking at without having the ask. Absolutely zero gatekeeping here. Please everyone keep patronizing this establishment. I need this place to continue to exist in my hood.

So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

Place is a hole in the wall to the point that I walked right past it. Lone server inside was very friendly. Definitely a 'get your shit and go' kind of place, but what do you expect with Hoboken real estate. Got a red eye over ice, which was slightly burnt but still good. For food I tried the La Rustica sandwich, which has proscuitto, stracchino cheese and truffle cream on homemade bread. The bread was great and I could've had just that. Decent amount of proscuitto however the price ($16) justified that. Cheese didn't do much for the sandwich, as it was outmuscled by the proscuitto and just added a touch of cream. Truffle was similarly lost. All in all could do better, could do worse. Donut bites, on the other hand, were freaking money. Got 3 of the ones with custard and should've gotten a dozen. That made the place itself. Lots of other interesting things here worth trying. Wish I could a sandwich with mozzarella as there were plenty of others that looked good too. Definitely would give this another shot, as there's some good stuff here!
