Service is always friendly and it's a town favorite! Their long history in Bayonne is a true testament to the quality of their chocolates and their commitment to the local community. Stop in for a treat,soon!

I'll start off by saying I'm not vegan, but I love trying vegan options. The shop is small and…read moredoesn't have any seating, so it's more of a pop in and pop out type of place. There were so many treats to choose from, I had such a hard time deciding. There also weren't prices on the labels, so we had to ask the employee, who was nice enough, but if it was busy, I would find it a bit inconvenient. I ended up deciding on a red velvet cupcake and the cutest teddy bear spritz cookie. The red velvet cupcake was de-lish, I'd recommend this one! The teddy bear cookie was sooo cute but I didn't like it that much :( admittedly I mostly bought it because it was so darling, as I'm not a big fan of spritz cookies. I think the flavor of the vegan butter was overpowering, as I'm not used to that flavor. All of the other pastries looked wonderful though, so I'd definitely come back to try out some other ones!

The previous location sadly and quickly went out of business, and was an ice cream parlor and Guatemalan restaurant. They still serve ice cream here, as well as sundaes, Granizados (flavored snow cone with fruit), and smoothies. In addition, you'll find a warmer holding tamals, chuchitos, and Uruguayan empanadas. Order the shuco! The shuco is a Guatemalan style hot dog served on toasted bread, with guacamole, cabbage and mustard and is unbelievable! Everything about Velvet Cafe was so fresh- the bread, the guacamole! Definitely worth a visit!

Not the replaced one that they said they were going to send us! That's not the time to deliver anything AT ALL regarding the fact it's not only a work day tomorrow (Tuesday) and the driver was laughing at the fact he brought it so late and woke us up so disrespectful !!!!! The cherry on top with all of this is he LEFT IT IN THE CONTAINER INSIDE THE BAG WHERE THE TOXIC SALT WAS OPENED!!!!! NOT myself, my friends, or anyone I know will be ordering from this unprofessional company and ESPECIALLY for the amount was paid for these arrangements was totally disappointing and unprofessional entirely. Please just take the time to make these arrangements yourself and safe your money time and inconvenience! How totally disappointing not only for us but the sender as well using this service for the first time who's so far away trying to make us feel special. I'm in total awe!

My wife received a fruit basket, unfortunately, a significant portion of the fruit in the basket…read more was not edible. The fruit arrived warm, not cool, around 6 p.m. The pineapple was brown on the backside and tips, and the strawberries, including the chocolate-covered ones, also had brown spots. Only the grapes and melon appeared to be in good condition. We discarded most of it. The more concerning issue, however, was the interaction my wife had with a salesperson during a follow-up call, the salesperson was overly defensive and insisted on a picture. The salesperson also stated she would send a picture she had to 1-800-Flowers if my wife complained to them, which we found surprising and unprofessional. My wife was simply trying to provide feedback and was not seeking a replacement. We have tried to reach out to the owner several time with no success.
