Birthday cake. Pre-made, with writing added by request as a walk-in
Ian M.

Natale's is a great bakery right off Broad street, just a couple of minutes from downtown Summit. With ample parking on the street or around the block, the only thing stopping you from a sugar-filled paradise is the lines that can crop up during busy periods. The staff inside is great, and with signs stressing that tipping is not permitted, you don't need to feel the pressure of doing extra mental math while stuffing pastries into your cheeks. Inside, there are several cases with pastries, cookies, and cakes. They've also got a good selection of donuts and breads, though I didn't try any of those. The pastries, cookies, and cake were all fantastic. Pastry wise, I got a raspberry horn and elephant ear, both of which had a great sugary crust but with a fluffy, delicate center. The raspberry in the horn was fruity but not oversweetened. On the cookie front, I had chocolate chip, m&m, sugar cookie, linzer tart, and rainbow sprinkle, . My favorite of these was the linzer tart, though it wasn't my favorite linzer tart ever. I prefer a bit less filling in mine, with a crisper shortbread. These have a healthy amount of filling, and the shortbread cookie was a bit on the softer side, though still delicious! The other cookies were pretty standard fare, done well and with no complaints, but by design aren't exactly the reason you'd visit Natale's. A note on the chocolate chip and m&m that they're large and thin, with about a 5 inch diameter - not the thick/raw dough types that have become popular. Last we have the cake, which was for a birthday celebration. We got a yellow cake with fudge, which was pre-made in the case but customized quickly in the back. They did a great job, and it was filled with flavor! The layers were perfect as well. I'm definitely coming back here, and if I have I a say in it, that'll be sooner than later!

Pumpkin slices

Haven't been here in awhile. Was in the area and stopped in. The glazed cruller donuts are delicious and reasonably priced, $1.50. However, the Boston cream have been disappointing time and time again, very little filling. I got the pumpkin bars $2.50 each - good but expensive. They were very small and the two pieces were different sizes, see photo.

Friends rave about this bakery, and in particular the cupcakes. I came at noon on a Sunday and picked up six cupcakes. I didn't find them to be particularly special so I'll have to return and try them again. In the past, I have ordered the Philly fluff cake and everyone loves it

Philly Fluff Cake
Audrey T.

Their Philly Fluff Cake is sooo good! Imagine cheesecake and Angel food cake had a baby that tastes like Japanese cheesecake's American cousin. The texture was the Goldilocks of airy, fluffy and dense. Not too sweet either. All the characters make this cake very dangerous - cuz I couldn't stop eating it! lol

Cannolis
Kat J.

One of my favorite bakeries in NJ. The one item that they are most well known for is the Philly Fluff, and it is completely worth the hype! It is soft, moist and fluffy, like a little piece of heaven on your plate. Pro tip: Philly fluffs freeze extremely well, just slice them, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and put them in a freezer ziplock bag. When you are want to eat them, just let them thaw overnight on the fridge or on the counter for a few hours. They are perfect for when you have unexpected guests or when you are just in the mood for cake on a Wednesday night (not that I am speaking from experience or anything)! Aside from the Philly fluff, their other cakes and pastries are also very delicious, moreover, they are very well priced. My personal favorites are the strawberry shortcake and the cannolis. If you are either in the area, stop by, you won't regret it!

It seems impossible that they could be making all of these cookies from scratch every day! I don't think they do. Because I've had some pretty stale cookies from Bake. I used to go in a lot. I know what you're thinking, why are you going in for stale cookies? Why would you go back? Why wouldn't you go to Natale's bakery in Summit? (Check out my review of them). I'll tell you why: Location, Location, Location They have a great location. So, anyway, I would go in and think, boy, I would like one of those big M&M cookies way in the back, way up on that shelf. So one day I got one. It was pretty stale. I think they forgot they had them there. They looked surprised when I asked for it. I had the bread one time. That was good. I bet they make that every day. Oh, and if you live in Summit, you can ignore this part because you are rich, my friend. And if you're a kid and you live in Summit? You are lucky because your parents are rich, my friend. Anyways So, Bake is incredibly expensive. Wow. One time true story, I bought I'm going to say a pound of cookies? (This was a while ago, don't quote me on the weight.) And the girl says that it will be, and she mumbles the price. And I think, did she say $16? That seems too low. Oh no, she said $60! For cookies. So give it a shot. I bet if you bit into your cookie while you were there, and it was stale, they would give you a new cookie. I usually take them home for dessert. Especially if you said it loud, like Hey! if you buy a cookie and it's stale. You get a new cookie? I bet they would hate that.

It looks like everything is made in-house, and we especially appreciated that their bread is sourdough. They offer a great variety of breads and baked goods. We kept it simple and tried a gluten-free hazelnut chocolate cake, a chocolate mousse, a chocolate chip cookie, and a latte that came with a small espresso cookie on the side. The service was outstanding, and everything we had was delicious. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items.

We were in the neighborhood on a Sunday morning and decided to give this Liv's a try…read more There was a line out the door, most of which was for the grab-and-go bakery area. Everything looked so delicious! We wanted to dine in and followed the signs to the seating area which was also bustling. We were seated across from each other at a long communal table, which is fine, but our neighbors seemed offput by having to move their coats and bags off the chairs. We were sitting so tightly together that I could barely shrug my jacket off without elbowing my neighbors. We waited and looked around for about 10 minutes. When no server approached us, we realized we needed to get up and order at the back counter. This was not made clear. Orange Juice for me (fresh squeezed - $12), iced coffee for him, the Spreads and Breads, and the Schnitzel Sandwich. We also split a small cinnamon bun. Our bill was nearly $80. Yowza. I will say that everything we ordered was good. We had things to do so we essentially ate and left. We were in and out in under 45 minutes. This is definitely a locals kind of place. We'll opt to grab-and-go if we are in the area again.

I'm a sucker for miniature cupcakes from a cuteness perspective but do hold them to a high standard…read morefor taste -- they have to live up to the fantasy to get a 5-star like this. Because they usually disappoint in the flavor department, I try to manage expectations. A friend served these at dinner last night and I smiled politely before my first bite but man-oh-man do they live up to the tiny perfection of their appearance. Light, airy cake, both chocolate and vanilla-based -- already pretty unusual. But some with added surprise touches of chips or sprinkles in exactly right proportions. And the frosting, just...WOW. Holy Toledo. Fluffy clouds of delicate buttercream, not a hint of greasiness or grinding sugar!!! With actual flavor of fruit in the strawberry and lemon and vanilla in the white toppings. My dream frosting in precisely the right amount relative to itty-bitty cake size. Remarkably, as tiny ones tend to quickly stakes, they are tasting just as amazing the next day, as I type this. Plus, the ones I passed over last night, thinking "meh, blue frosting, that'll be unbearably sweet" or had other reservations about? Uniformly delicious!!! Do I sound ridiculously fulsome about mini cupcakes? Yes, yes I do. But only because these are probably the best I've had in a decade (of many, many cupcake trials), in ANY size. The fact that they are beautiful, minute replicas of gourmet grown-up cupcakes is like getting a winning scratch-off in your birthday card from grandma. Pure bliss.

The chocolate frosting was thicker than the vanilla and the vanilla was definitely fluffier and lighter. Both were good but different.
