This has been one of our go-to cake shops in recent times. We have had our kid's cake smash cake also ordered from here and occasionally got cupcakes for special occasions like Mother's Day and potlucks. The cake and cream quality is fresh and have always been on adequate sugar levels without overdoing. The place looks well maintained and clean at all times. The parking might be a bit tight at times read more

I have ordered cakes from La Bon before but this was my first time getting a custom cake. I wanted to order a custom SpongeBob theme cake for a 25th birthday party and I wanted it to look a certain way. La Bon had a form online where you can specify what you want and put pictures for inspiration. It was super easy and simple to do! I needed the cake by Sunday morning so I decided to place the order on Thursday since it was a holiday weekend and I knew they might be busy with orders. I put in a request for a 8" round cake with vanilla cake and chocolate custard filling. I submitted the request on Thursday afternoon and got a response by Thursday evening that I needed to call or come in person by Friday afternoon to officially place the order and pay. I called on Friday and spoke to Tina over the phone, she was really nice and took her time explaining the order to me and answering questions. I felt for a custom cake with this level of detail it was well worth the price which came out to about $80. I picked up my cake on Sunday with no issues and was shocked by how beautiful the cake came out. It was exactly what I wanted it to look like, the color was a perfect match to the picture I sent in and to top it all off, it was DELICIOUS! The cake was so moist and fluffy and the chocolate custard was just perfect. 1000% will be coming back here for more custom cakes- I couldn't have asked for a better experience and it was exactly what we wanted to celebrate for a 25th birthday. read more

La Bon Bake Shoppes - Strawberry shortcake - Bakeries Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I've had their cakes before and decided to give their cupcakes a try! This place has limited parking because it's on the side of route 27. I chose the summer special mermaid cupcake which was blue raspberry. The presentation ate. For $3.75, I got a cutesy mermaid cupcake. My only issue with that the sphere sprinkles were very hard to chew. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite bakeries in the area. My family has been going to La Bon for years and Plpretty much everything I've tried here so far has been amazing. Lately I've tried the strawberry short cake and tres leches. The strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite cakes there. It is not too sweet, the cake is super moist and the whipped cream is perfect. The caramel tres leches was also very good. There was some banana in it which I enjoyed and the cake was nicely saturated with milk. Other things I recommend are their brown derby cake and their raspberry lemon mini cake. Also, the staff is always friendly and willing to help and give suggestions. read more

My favorite bakery in Edison! The chains truly cannot compete against this place. While I usually stop by for one of their monthly weekend specials or a cake for a celebration, (which you MUST get a brown derby for; I cannot find another bakery who makes one like La Bon!) today I stopped by for some treats for a little picnic. They have such a huge selection, from cookies to cupcakes, cakes to bread, you are bound to find something for you here. On today's trip, I bought 2 of the banana split cupcakes, 1 key lime cupcake, 1 mango mousse cupcake, and 1 macchacino cupcake. All of them were moist and flavorful, but my favorite was definitely the banana split! Such a beautiful and unique take on a classic ice cream dessert with surprise pineapple filling. Parking is a bit limited, but I have never had a problem with it since most people are in and out since the service is so friendly and fast. A little note that if you are planning to buy a haul, being your own reusable bag! Or you can purchase one of theirs for about $1.25. read more

La Bon Bake Shoppes - Birthday Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I have to give this place the award for the smallest and most expensive rye. The shop is a cluster Fu... on a busy Sunday because the owner is too cheap to put a numbering system to wait like every other bakery. Customers stand on one line without a number que and others come in the other door and walk right up. And if in this area we didn't have decent bakeries like D'Orsis in port reading we wouldn't notice how bad this bakery is. read more

Shout out to La Bon bake shoppe. My family has been ordering cakes from here since before they were la bon. They have always been on point and have never let us down on any occasion. I ordered a lakers cake once again for my 27th birthday and it came out much better than I expected. vanilla frosting with strawberry/ vanilla filling. Very soft and sweet on the inside as well. Lakers logo in the top was absolutely beautiful. My family enjoyed it and my coworkers did as well. Much love to yall and I hope more customers come your way because of this . read more

La Bon Bake Shoppes - Awesome we loved it - Bakeries Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

My go-to cake store since I was a kid! I've never had any issues with getting a cake last minute and service is always outstanding here!! My favorite cakes here are the mango mousse cake AND the vanilla/chocolate derby. Give them a try! They're both crowd pleasers. If you're buying a cake for a birthday or event, tell the cashier and they're make a custom sign for your cake. This time around I tried their Valentine's day specials and pastries, and I wasn't as pleased with them. But maybe I'm just too biased towards the mango mousse cake? What I got: - Junior Chocolate Swirl Strawberry Cake: 5/5 - I'm not a big chocolate cake person, but this was stellar! The cake itself was rich, but not too sweet. The strawberry cream was light and complimented the cake well. And the star of the show, the strawberry jam in the center of the cake truly added a new dimension to the cake. I was completely WOW-ed by this. - Chocolate Chip Cookie: 3/5 - I was expecting this cookie to be amazing, but I thought it was pretty average. I was disappointed at how stale it was, but the flavors were there. - Small Cannoli: 4/5 - Good classic cannoli!! Great place to buy your cakes!! But I was not impressed by the pastries this time around. I used to love all of their pastries, so maybe it was just an off day that I went? But the cakes have never failed me. read more

I've only ever ordered one item from La Bon so I can only comment on this item: the brownie. The brownie is so fudgy, moist, and delicious that every time I come back, I need to order it again. My first time coming here, I didn't intend to order anything, I was just waiting for my pizza order next door, but I saw the brownie and absolutely knew I needed to try it and I'm glad I did. I've been back to La Bon every time I'm craving a sweet treat and just can't not get the brownie. I hope to expand my horizons one of these days because all of La Bon's offerings do look delicious! read more

I'm another patron who's been coming for years but have never written a review! But that just means the 5 stars are solid. I first started coming here after I heard about their hamburger cakes. After that, I went anytime I needed a really good quality cake. My favorite order was a chocolate cake with cannoli filling and fudge icing! So rich! There are specials every month and even every week, so if you have a sweet tooth, you can regularly spoil yourself with specialty cakes and treats. The cupcakes I got this past weekend finally got me to writing this review. I got a variety that included a banana split flavor: banana cake with pineapple filling, topped with an icing sundae. Believe me, it's all as good as it sounds!!! The lady who packed the cupcakes was very sweet, too :) read more

Best rye bread around! Was just there again to take it down to SC.... Where there is no good bread at all!

I'm sooooo surprised I've never written a review for La Bonbonniere (now La Bon I guess). I've been going here for forever and I'm never disappointed! We get cakes here for all our special occasions and it's always a crowd pleaser both aesthetically and how it tastes. I'm always asked "where did you get this cake/dessert??". Its always a crowd favorite and always beautiful! I wish they had a regular rewards program because I would be earning some serious rewards haha. I highly recommend their oreo cake, their raspberry chocolate cake, and anything chocolate to be honest. Their cookies, doughnuts, and small desserts are delicious as well. If you're in the mood for something savory their freshlynkade sandwiches are oddly delicious I don't know what they do to make them so good. I'm never leaving empty handed if I walk in. I also love how you can call ahead and order any of their cakes and they'll make sure it's beautifully decorated and personalized with a name in any color icing you want. Some places make you feel like you're hassling them to do this but not La Bon. They make you feel like they're celebrating whatever special occasion you are celebrating alongside you. I appreciate that very much. read more

Two words: Rainbow Cookies. I don't even see a need to get anything else, these are soooooo good. I just don't understand how they are so moist and delicious. If you've never had a rainbow cookie, it's more like a small piece of cake with three layers, each a different color (I believe it's supposed to a nod to the flag of Italy) with almond, raspberry, and chocolate flavors. I know I'm not the only fan of these because one of the times I came here they said someone had just come in prior and bought their entire stock. This last time, we went in around 8 am on our way to the airport to ensure that we were the first to buy the entire stock! Probably a good thing I don't live closer because I'd be here every day. read more

So far I have never been disappointed with La Bon Bake Shoppes. The Brown Derby is my current favorite, it has fresh fruits, cream, custard and chocolate and nothing was too sweet ..

I come here at least twice a month for cupcakes. I only come when the peanut butter, caramel delight, apple, or birthday cupcakes are available. Those 4 are always delicious! I can't understand why they don't have them available all the time. You can check on their website to find what days those cupcake are available. Unfortunately, I have to lower my review today. This morning my friend picked up a junior chocolate peanut butter cake we were going to enjoy after dinner tonight. It was a steal at only $9.50. The cake was moist, but the cake itself was bland! It tasted nothing like chocolate or peanut butter! The frosting was bland as well with no taste of peanut butter whatsoever! It wasn't even sweet! We ended up tossing it in the trash! I'd still come here again for those cupcakes I've mentioned, but I'll no longer ever purchase any cakes of the month that are on sale. I'd definitely never order that chocolate peanut butter cake again either. read more

Cake was delicious, but definitely disappointed in decorator's effort. When instructions say full roses to completely cover top of cake you expect just that from a professional. This could of looked much better...nothing could be done upon picking this up, so I had to let my anger go, but didn't expect this quality decorating. Would of been 5 stars if explicit directions were followed. read more

This is one of the best bakeries in the area. One of my friends got a cake for my birthday and it was divineeee. So I seized the opportunity to get a cake from here. I chose the Chocolate Shadow Layer cake for another friend's birthday. The ordering process is easy online. You choose the cake you want and the size you want. There's a box to enter whatever you want on your cake. You select the time and say you want to pick it up, and they'll have it ready by then. Pick-up was easy and smooth too. This cake was perfect - moist and sweet. It's every chocolate-lovers dream. The 6" cake was plenty for 2-3 people with leftovers for about a week. Go here for an of your cake needs, you won't be disappointed! read more

Make no mistake, the food is delicious. The problem is the lack of help the employees are willing to give. I walked in with a cane, which is necessary for me. I brought several things and asked for a bag so I can carry what I bought. They said I could buy a bag. Then they said they'd hold the door. I dropped the bread 3 times before I got to my car. I wouldn't/couldn't even eat it after that. They'd hold the door. Thanks a lot. Not welcoming to the handicapped. I won't go back. Mean. read more

This bakery has changed owners from the original family ownership, but they still make the same delicious cakes and baked goods. My favorite cake is their brown derby! I haven't been here in years after moving away from NJ, so I must admit that I had a little sticker shock at the $37+ price of the small round cake. This cake is nevertheless very delicious and for anyone that likes fresh whipped cream and fruit, this cake is for you! read more

I had to order a cake for my engagement and I almost forgot about it because of other things that needed to be taken care off. All the places we called wanted pre orders done before 2 weeks, but La Bon saved us, they couldn't do 2 tiers but were able to do a 1 tier cake and helped us with customization to match our theme. I forgot the name of the guy who helped us. You rocked. You made it easy for us with the wide variety of choices available and was delivered on time. It was yummy. read more

Awesome job on my birthday cake! I got a vanilla cake with banana and vanilla custard filling. It was so good. Only reason I took a star off was because I bought another cake here and it wasn't refrigerated prior to me picking it up so it fell apart as soon as I drove out of the lot, even though it was secure. read more

I have been coming to this bakery for over 10 years now however have been getting treats from this bakery for more than that. Their quality of baked goods is simply AMAZING. You can't go wrong with any item in this bakery however I am reviewing this place finally because of their eggless cakes . Having a family who doesn't eat eggs sometimes makes it difficult to find a really good eggless cake . I have ad their eggless and with egg cakes and let me tell you - you can't tell the difference . Recently ordered an eggless cake for Memorial Day weekend for my family who doesn't eat eggs . NEEDLESS TO SAY- it was a hit . I did a brown derby filling( which is actually a cake they sell that looks like a dome with yummy fruits) So I did a 8 inch round cake with vanilla cake with banana , fresh strawberries, pineapples , peaches with fresh whipped cream and whipped cream icing . It fed almost 20 people with some to spare. It's so light and just the right amount of sweetness . I took this cake 2 hours away to Long Island and the cake was still in tact when I got there .. I spend about $46 on the cake however it was well worth it . If you are looking for a great bakery this is it . My only complaint is the staff there - the girl who took my order cared less to even take my order . I kind of had to guess my own size and filling . The only reason I was fine was because I actually worked here way back when so I kind of know some of the fillings . Also if they could make chocolate cake in eggless that would be great. These two reasons are why I gave this place a 4/5. read more

Quality cakes for any occasion! We ordered two cakes here for my friends birthday. Online ordering, payment, and pick up were all simple and efficient. Bakers and cashiers were incredibly friendly and prompt throughout the whole process. The red velvet cheesecake is a sugar lover's dream, with cloyingly sweet cheese cake and cream cheese icing laced in between layers of moist, red chocolate cake. The brown derby was by far the favorite. Light and fruity, the subtle sweetness of the whipped cream and moist cake paired perfectly with the sugared fruits. I never thought bananas, pineapples, peaches, and strawberries could all work on one cake, but La Bonbonniere bakery clearly proved me wrong. Writing on the cakes come at no additional charge! With minimal instruction, they lettered each cake in a well spaced and festive manner. I highly recommend this establishment for delicious cakes. I hope to come back here to try their smaller bakery goods. read more

I've been getting my cakes here for years ( since I was around 7 years old) and still, nobody beats their birthday cakes! I live down the shore now so cant make frequent visits. I still haven't found a comparable bakery, as there are too many grocery & club stores down here that have the cake market locked! My hope is one day La Bon expands to the shore! 4 stars because my only issue is that when I have ordered birthday cakes and request whipped cream, I get butter cream! This happened the last couple times. I did get a free cake the one time it happened, but didn't want to complain the second time. I didn't want anyone to think I was trying to get free cakes. I also live down the shore, an hour and a half away, so the trip back up is not always easy. It is very hard to tell the difference between the WC & BC, because the taste is just that great! So I will just try to stress it over the phone next time I order. Even with that said, I still get my kids cakes from here during their birthdays and people love it! You really can't go wrong with anything here! I'm not sure if they do the chocolography here anymore, but I had beautiful custom chocolate lollipops made years ago for my daughter's birthday and it was awesome too! Maybe it's a good thing I no longer live near the area huh? read more
