My father used to take our family for REAL Italian ices and pastries at this shop back in the 1960's! When I became old enough to drive in the '70's, I turned my friends on to this place and they loved it. I can still smell that wonderful aroma of everything they made when entering all these years later! Some things never get old. read more

It's been a while since I have been here since I moved away from the area but they are still excellent. Purchased an Easter wheat pie for Easter and the pie was outstanding. Very rich with a lot of candied fruit in the filling and an outstanding crust. I know they specialize in crumb cake which is also top notch here but they don't disappoint with other items. Back to the crumb cake, don't leave here without it if you haven't tried it. It's excellent. They have been in business forever, the service is good and bakery is nice. Whenever I'm in the area I will stop here. read more

Looking for a sweet escape? The Hackensack Pastry Shop is a delightful destination in Hackensack. Satisfying my sweet tooth turned into a delicious adventure with a cannoli filled with chocolate chips, a mini chocolate eclair, and a mini pear pastry. As an Italian American, I truly appreciate their fresh cannolis filled to order--a creamy dream come true. Everything on display was tempting, and the blend of Peruvian pastries with Italian favorites was a culinary duet that hit all the right notes. The staff were incredibly friendly, adding to the experience. If you're in need of a little pastry therapy, this is the spot. Remember, a balanced diet is having a pastry in each hand.

Wow finally I get my birthday cupcake from an actual bakery. I was so disappointed at my old bakery in Passaic NJ. As a youngster, I could smell the aroma of hot baked bread early in the morning from the bakery. Again, shout out to Bergen county, New Jersey. I did not want to go to a grocery store. I wanted freshness, the scent of baked goods all around the store. Hackensack pastry has it all from doughnuts, danish, canolli and the cakes from wondow case to window case. If you have a sweet tooth, Hackensack Bakery is a must see and buy. I will share mu cupcakes with the masses. The cupcakes were good but smaller than cupcakes spot I frequent in Jacksonville, Fl. The counter girl wished a hearty Happy birthday when I told her the 10th of October was my birthday! read more

March 19 is St. Joseph's day, which means it's St. Joseph's Day pastries! And Hackensack Pastry shop has been making them - in fact all sorts of Italian goodies for decades. I remember coming here a with my grandpa as a little girl. I got here early at 7 am today to pick these up for my son who is a huge fan. You have a choice of pastry cream or cannoli filling inside. Hands down we are cannoli filling folk. They are just fabulous. read more

I saw a food influencer talking about the Peruvian items that are made here so I went to check it out for myself. I can definitively say the Paneton that is made on the premises beats out every boxed Paneton I've had, including the Italian ones. In addition to the Paneton, I bought some Peruvian bread and empanadas, and they were all very good. I'd definitely be back. read more

Ordered a handful of items that included a cake, cake pops, cookies, cupcakes and mini 2 oz cakes. Communication with the bakery was fairly easy. They were receptive of our requests. The cake, cookies and and cakes pops turned out really nice is appearance and flavor. Three stars because on the day of pick up, it seemed like the workers were stressed and still working on the order at the time of pick up. We were shown each order except the mini cakes which turned out to be the order we had the biggest issue with. The drive back to our event venue was smooth but everything was toppled over and could barely be saved. We were given the option to wrap this order for an additional $6 ($.50 each in the dozen) but I highly believe the safety of each order should be standard at no extra cost. The cupcakes also stuck together which was not ideal, but not a huge issue. read more

A friend of mine a while back gave me a package of pignoli cookies as a gift. Decided to go in and pick up some for myself for the holiday. They were on a table out front and they were marked as being about eight dollars and change each per package. I asked if they could possibly put 2 it in a separate pouch two times over. In the process of this it turned out I found out I got undercharged. Wanted me to give up another almost $20. I know they can tend to be expensive, but I thought they were just small packages. It's not my fault that they missmarked every single package on the table. I demanded a refund and walked out. Not right on their part. read more

I needed a simple cake last minute and was recommended to try Hackensack Pastry Shop. I was in luck as they were able to accommodate me and made the ordering process smooth. Delicious and moist lemon cake that was loved by all who got to taste. When I came to pick up the cake I was surrounded by cases of more cakes, cookies, and various pastries. Parking is readily accessible by street as well as a private lot right next door. Definitely earned a spot on my list of go to bakeries. read more

I had the pleasure of purchasing a custom cake by Sumac, and it was fantastic! She replicated exactly what I wanted, and it tasted great! I also have picked up assorted pastries from here, and everything is so delicious. My personal favorite are the mini fruit tarts. Prices are reasonable, the quality and taste are wonderful, and there is parking. (A major plus in my book esp for Hackensack.) I've definitely made Hackensack Pastry Shop my go to for custom cakes and pastries. read more

The only pastry shop in the world WITHOUT prices in the case. That is so shady. So go ask for 6 cannoli. Then wait for the worker to say to you "They are five dollars each." Implying "are you sure you want $30 worth of cannoli? Can you afford that?" read more

Came here on a whim hoping to find a good chocolate cake for Christmas. I have fairly high standards for cake but I also wasn't too sure if this place was going to meet my expectations. My whole family was pleasantly surprised and all were very happy with our Christmas dessert! We've even talked about going back for another one. We also got a half of an apple pie which was also great. My brother-in-law got a small apple tart and said it was dry and "sucked" (he loved the other 2 desserts though). Overall we were all very pleased with the experience and would definitely recommend! read more

My mom ordered a cake TEN days in advance from this place and received a different cake. Since my mom is disabled and it was Christmas eve, my sister picked up the cake. The order was for chocolate cake with dulce the Leche. She received a chocolate cake with caramel filling and white frosting. We ordered this cake in this bakery before, but since it was Christmas eve, they wanted to leave me with cake. My sister had to take the frosting out so I could try it (I'm not too fond of any cake except chocolate cake, I dislike and do not eat frosting or chantilly cream). We threw it away, and since it was Christmas didn't want to make a big deal. She paid 81 dollars that went to the garbage. read more

I've ordered from this bakery multiple times and they are consistently delicious. Everyone you meet at the counter is so kind and nice, and they always try their best to help you out. Whenever I've had custom orders it's always ready at the promised time and their head baker hits the mark on what I want every time. This week because of the snow storm they were able accommodate my custom order a day early so I would not have to drive it the storm. The cake pops were a hit! Thank you guys for always coming through! read more

So I heard about this place and drove over 30 minutes one day to try their Tres Leches cake before I committed to a birthday cake. It was good but dry... the driest I've ever has. It wasn't soaked overnight as most are and needed more milk. He said that it was soaking since this morning, but he can make my order more wet. I told the kid that my order needed to be more on the moist and wet side and he wrote it down and placed the order. I told him to make sure it wasn't dry. When I got my cake, we cut into it and the cake was DRY. The height of the cake was about 5-6 inches, and only 3/4 of an inch of it was wet with the tres leches. I'm really annoyed because it feels like i'm served my guests just dry pound cake. The quality is not there and the cake itself feels like a very dry commercially dry pound cake. read more

I had never been here before, but my sons wanted to get me a birthday cake and where we usually go was closed. We decided to try somewhere new. We looked on line while in the car and my son said "this place looks cute". I am a chocolate freak, but the cakes that were there (and it was late on a Saturday) did not ring my chocolate chimes. But this little hazelnut cake was calling to me!! What a wonderful cake! Though I do recommend smaller than usual size as it does pack a sugar punch. But pleasantly, the sugars all have different taste and texture. The cake was like a sweet cornbread, with a hazelnut filling rich and thick but not overpowering with a smooth lovely buttercream and a caramel drizzle. Perfect with a cup of espresso, tea, or a brandy. Now it is my favorite non chocolate cake! read more

I've booked custom birthday cake for my sons here two years in a row, and each time the design was amazing and looked exactly as I expected. They're also very accommodative of last minute orders and can make the cake ready in time. The cake also tastes very delicious, and they have a lot of options in terms of flavor. read more

I sent them a photo of what I wanted and they delivered it 1,000%. I love my tres leche very damp, with two fillings, guava & dulce de leche. It hits the spot every single time! The photos does not do the beauty of the cake justice. It was perfect and it was oh so delicious! If you're a person who loves guava, dulce de leche and tres leche, I highly recommend, don't knock it, until you try it. Service is always top notch! Every employee is beyond respectful and friendly. The ambiance, you wish you could carry the entire bakery home with you. read more

Ordered a cake last minute for a friend who needed to spend her birthday in Hackensack Medical Center. I had seen the pictures and reviews on Yelp, but this came out even more beautiful, and the birthday girl said it was delicious. This is the chocolate mousse cake. Thanks, Carlos! They always have cakes on hand, and he said they can do other orders same day. Unlike B&W they take credit cards - and they are not so crazy on the weekends. read more

Wow this birthday cake was incredible. I had a custom cake made for a surprise birthday party last weekend.

We asked for Chocolate w/ oreo buttercream icing, Vanilla Dulce de leche buttercream, Red velvet w/ cream cheese icing, and Carrot w/ cream cheese icing. My personal fav was the carrot cake - SO good! read more

NOT HAPPY. I came from 17 miles away because I was a loyal customer for over 45 years. I asked for a custard pie and the counter person said that it was just going into the oven and would be available at 12 noon. I came back after shopping around 12:45. Now the oven was having problems and nothing was available. Not their fault, I guess. I did buy some mini pastries...very small for the price, but still disappointed. The latin/italian flavors now is understandable given the local population, but I miss the original owners and products. Change is forever, but I will not be back. read more

Well, it finally happened although, I didn't believe it would. I've been to the Hackensack pastry shop since the new owners took over at least three dozen times, and was able to find most of the Italian pastries that they were taught to make and they were pretty good. Today I went, and could only find a few of the many that the former owners taught them how to make. There were no cannolis, and only two Sfogliayella in the shop, which the previous owners always had plenty of those on hand, because they were one of the biggest sellers. They completely did away with the Rum Baba's I'm hoping this was a rare occurrence as I have always bought there because they were unquestionably the best in the area. read more

Good customer service. Flan was a little dense. Tres leches was ok. Tamale was dry. Empanada was good

I had a tres leche (Three milk cake) cake from this place not too long ago. The cake was so good I licked the plate. I went there to buy one on the next occasion and it was even better. How can they make it better! Today I had the opportunity to try one again and it was oh so good. It is a very moist ale made with whipped cream instead of butter cream, so it doesn't taste as sweet as a your typical cake. This place makes numerous cakes and they all look delicious. Sorry I have no pictures yet, we ate the damn thing too fast. However, the next time I go I will be sure to take pics. Or you can just go there and see for yourself. read more

With the outrageous bakery prices locally these days this place is the best deal around. Not only because of how reasonable their prices are but their baked goods are so good I travel 20 minutes to come here.

Came in and asked for a pound of Italian cookies and a couple of cannolis. Service was very friendly and efficient, she filled the cannolis when I ordered them however she decided which Italian cookies and boxed them up without asking. I questioned her about it and she apologized but I made no changes. Thankfully my guests and I are not allergic to almond cookies but what if we were? Coffee is very good and so were the cookies and cannolis. read more

My family has gone to this bakery for over 50 years and my husband would travel 2 hours to get my birthday cake from them for 20 years. The new owners have not followed any of the recipes. They have ruined the Cannoli cake. Last week I was in town with a friend and told her the pastries were always great , I went in and no pastries in the case. I asked for 2 cannoli @ $5.00 each. The girl went in the back and 10 minutes later she came out and apologized that the wrong cannoli cream was sent and it was a little drippy. Needless to say I will not be going back. I miss Kathleen and Jack . read more

I needed a last minute cake to celebrate my birthday and I called the Hackensack Pastry Shop and they had carrot cakes available! They had different sizes, I picked the smallest size. It was a last minute request, but they were very accomodating. I was able to walk in to the store and pay in card. No other customer was inside, and there was a sign to wear a mask, as suggested by social distancing guidelines. Everyone loooveddd the cake. It's my favorite cake and the Hackensack Pastry Shop did not disappoint. There was street parking and I think I also saw a parking lot next to the shop. read more
