Came across this bakery and it was super staffed and organized. It smelled so good. I got a few cupcakes and fruit tarts. Beautiful looking and sweet tasting. Would come back for a bigger order next time. read more

The cake was delicious. Even though it came from the case it was fresh and the price was reasonable. The lobster tail was not dry at all. We will be back next time we are in the area. read more

It's ok. 3.5 stars. It's been hit or miss with their cakes. Bought a small fruit tart cake for $25, but they used seeded grapes and I bit into one very annoyed and embarrassed I had to tell my guests to watch bc the grapes had seeds. They should use the seedless or leave them off. Same for the strawberries--they should slice them with the stems off so you don't need to do work to eat a slice of the cake. Cookies are consistently very good, as are their pastries. read more

We ordered a cake for my sisters birthday party. We wanted fresh strawberries and chocolate pudding in the cake. They had no fruit in it and no pudding. It was a cream. We obviously paid for those things as well. Very disappointed. We tried calling multiple times to speak to someone and nobody was there to take our call and the counter never had them call us back. read more

OMG the cakes and pastries are TO DIE FOR! Great service, too! The shop is spacious and clean. They have tables inside to sit and enjoy your pastries. read more

Outstanding service. Great Italian bakery. Everything is fresh and made with care. We needed a birthday cake for my mom and they only had blue cakes up front. The kind woman went to the baker and had one finished for us in pink with roses with a strawberry filling white cake with whipped cream. So delicious and fresh and soft. Not overly sweet either. This was amazing and all the workers were really nice and attentive. read more

Owner's Customer Service!!! The owner doesn't know how to properly handle an error by one of their employees for describing what filling was in a cake and not doing the right thing to satisfy the customer!!! They lost a loyal customer that has been giving them business for many years. read more

I had to get a cake for a baby shower , and I got so many compliments on the cake from Maria's . Cake was cannoli filled, and I described how I wanted it to look and they did it perfectly . Thank you Maria's Bakery ! read more

very disappointed. waited for a cake that was suppose to have a picture on it, and it was a rushed job, the picture is lifting up on the cake and they didn't add the decorative roses.... would have been better off with a Walmart cake. read more

I called to place an order for a cake. I called five minutes later to cancel, as they could not accommodate the flavor requested. They will not credit my credit card back, I have to physically go to the store to get my money back?? Completely unprofessional. They just lost a customer (I have bought over a dozen cakes from them the last 2 years). read more

So far everything I have tried has been delicious! Great service, lots of options to choose from but the tiramisu and lobster tails are fabulous. Decent prices as well read more

Located in Saddle Brook , I came to this local establishment for some Italian bread. To avoid the long lines and thanks to the owner, Maria, I had pre-ordered and pre-paid a couple of days ago. Upon arrival at the designated time, there were some patrons ordering their goods as it opened an hour earlier at 7am. Surprisingly the lines moved despite the staff were calling out the order numbers. I was out of the bakery within 5 minutes. A Happy Thanksgiving! read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Ordered a custom cake for my moms 80th birthday and boy was I disappointed. Every aspect of this special ordered custom cake was a disaster. First off it was over 2 hours late to be delivered. Secondly, what business presents a cake like this ? See pictures. Flavor was chocolate.....does this look like chocolate? It wasn't finished. Who delivers a cake with cake showing ? Why wasn't it finished ? When I called to provide my feedback to Maria, she was rude, nasty and could not be bothered listening to my disappointment. All I can say is STAY AWAY & FIND A DIFFERENT BAKERY to order from. read more

I've been going to Maria's for years. I have never been disappointed. From fresh filled cannolis to there yummy cakes and cookies. Service is great. Although there are times they could used a few more girls behind the counter. They are friendly and hard working. I moved out of Saddle Brook last summer. I don't get back there much. I stopped by today to get some pastries for company tonight. They were a big hit. Yummy read more

Excellent Italian pastries! The lobster claws are HUGE. The cream in the eclairs are delicious too.

Spent $21.32 - which is ridiculous. 4 St Joseph's pastries 4.50@ and 1 French bread. The pastries were not even fresh and weren't even filled enough. I got both the custard and cannoli cream. The bread was worse. I could have gotten better bread at Shop Rite. Total ripoff. never again read more

Recently purchased a 10" round custom cake from Maria's with vanilla sponge cake, chocolate pudding and chocolate mousse with requested reeses pieces on top and a cross they beautifully did in flowers. This bakery's "old school" mentality is hard to find anymore and may not offer all of the modern fancy amenities newer businesses can but you can absolutely taste the love and care they put into their craft. Everyone was impressed. They went above and beyond for our requests. Very helpful friendly staff. Will absolutely order for future events from them again. Thank you! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE !! I went into the bakery with my elderly and disabled mother so she could purchase some pastries. There were FIVE young ladies behind the counter. There were NO patrons in front of us. Not one of the employees acknowledged us. One was texting on her phone. One was leaning against the counter. The remaining three were engrossed in a conversation. After about a minute I said, "excuse me, is anyone going to help us?" They ALL looked at us like we were inconveniencing them. Finally, an older woman came out of the back and said, "sorry, I tell them all the time to be attentive". So management knows the employees are NOT doing as they were instructed to do. Mom did get her pastries. After paying do you think the cashier said thank you, NOPE. I will go out of my way to go to another bakery. My money is green wherever I go. I should NOT have to be disrespected spending it !! read more

Love this place. Everything is delicious and the place is very clean. Fresh coffee available, too if you want to sit and eat something here. Staff is friendly. It can get crowded .. so go at an off time and it will be empty! read more

Maria's has had quite the revamping over the past couple of years. It's now twice the size and offers small cafe tables and chairs to sit and enjoy a pastry and coffee I cannot say I have tasted every item in this bakery and can vouch for its freshness but the standards have always been fresh for me Their Italian cookies, lobster tails, cupcakes, napoleons have all been delicious and fresh. Have not purchased a cake here in a long time As far as their service, I have never had an issue with the sales people. They have always been courteous. You'll find this bakery has quite long hours and is open many holidays which makes it convenient My favorite here is the French cream lobster tail. It's crunchy, messy (as it should be) and the cream is just delicious If you haven't been here since they renovated the store come back and give it a try read more

We had Maria's design and make our wedding cake for August 12. Maria did an awesome job and the cake like everything else that she does tasted great. Maria is a great person to work with and she exceeded our expectations Silvia & Charles read more

I spent my life eating Italian pastries and know what good pastries are supposed to taste like. This place isn't worth going to. We ordered lobster tails, cannolis and cream puffs and nothing was good. Nothing was fresh. I wouldn't go back if they were giving it away for free. The only good thing I can say is it's fairly priced. Still not worth it though. I'll drive the extra twenty minutes for respoli next time read more

Got 3 individual tiramisu pieces. Terrible! Never expected this Coming from an Italian bakery. Firstly, tiramisu is supposed to be soaked in espresso. Cake is dry and dense, not soaked and there isn't any espresso flavor coming thru. Thus, this isn't tiramisu. Second, even just the cake was so eggy tasting and dense, not airy and sponges. Very disappointed. read more

Bought a bunch of things here, but came mostly for the black and white cookies, which were great. Pignoli nut cookies were great as well as a few assorted pastries we bought, Friendly staff. Actually when I asked for various weights of cookies etc, the lady who helped us hit the half pound mark on the nose twice and one pound as well! read more

trash ! coffee was not all that hot, beacause of the added milk. told the boss he needs a microwave on the floor and all he did was laugh. than told the employee to heat up a croissant for me, and told me she could heat up one of the two i bought, on top of making me wait 2 minutes for it and still brought it out cold ! ! ! to not start nothing, just ended up going back home to heat it up! read more

Every time I go, I am helped quickly, almost too quickly because I don't have time to window shop at what I'm picking up. Highly recommend the cannoli lobster tails, they are drool worthy. Never had a bad item from here. read more

This bakery is just okay. Their lobster claws are the best!!! Their staff could be a little more friendlier.

We have been to this bakery 3 times. Our experience has always been below average. I read a lot of reviews about poor customer service but my experience with the staff was normal. The first time i got a strawberry shortcake and sadly it was not fresh and absolutely no taste. Second time we got a cupcake for my daughter and some small pastries and again they were not fresh and tasted like nothing but sugar Hoping for a 3rd time charm, For mother's day, we decided to give them a final try and got the almond rum cake and it was absolutely horrid. Not sure if i am getting the wrong things because all the good reviews and finding them busy all 3 times surprised me. read more

Do you like to have your custom cake order absolutely butchered the day of pick up? Do you like to have your order late 3 hours on the day of pick up? Do you like to be treated like your wrong for complaining when your entire order is wrong? THEN GO HERE!!! Maria is a horrible owner/manager. Treats the girls working there horrible and treats the customer even worse. Placed a custom cake order a month ago. Maria took all the details. Day of pick up, the color is totally different, the design is totally wrong and best of all the cake isn't ready until 3 hours AFTER the promised pick up. Best part, owner has the nerve to blame her workers and lack of help. ONLY THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE for the shit work and product she has leaving that place. SHAME!!!! read more

I love the cakes here, i took a chance by trying a new bakery for my brothers birthday and it was worth it.. from that day all the cakes are coming from Maria's. I just love the taste and freshness of the cake. Would definitely recommend. read more

Came here for cupcakes for a co workers birthday and I was not disappointed. There is a lot of variety of pastries from cakes to cookies to Italian pastries. Got a cup cake, tamirasu, strawberry shortcake and a walnut danish. I have to agree with the other reviews, freshly made pastries were good but the days old Danish was ok bit you had to hear it up to get full flavor. Cupcake was ok but a little on the dry side. Tamirasu was great! For all those I had to pay $15 not bad for varieties. read more

This is where I buy my apple crumb cake, cannolis (plain and chocolate) lobster tails, assorted mini pastries and cookies. The Best!

Was a little nervous to come here based on the reviews, but it was around the corner from my office, so it was worth a shot anyway. This is a very large bakery in the sense that it's extremely open. Not sure what they do with all of that empty space, but it's not like they had a bunch of tables and chairs to fill it up. Regardless, moving on to the pastries. I walked in around 2 PM and the place was STACKED with baked goods, but it's the usual Italian pastries, as well as a few cakes. Nothing entirely special in my opinion, and not one of my favorites. I just grabbed a few of their mini Italian pastries to bring back to work. Thankfully I did not experience any rude workers, and I was aware of the $10 card minimum beforehand thanks to reviews. read more
