I visit this bakery often. I love their jelly filled cookies with sprinkles. They are my favorite. I have also had their cheesecake and it is very good. read more

I ordered chives dumpling, shrimp rice noodle, frozen barbecue pork bun and lotus rice. Price was comparable to other dim sum places. Chives dumpling turned out really good which was my favorite, but other dishes were good as well. Definitely will be coming back soon and try the baked goods as well. read more

I was in the area and craving a cup of coffee with a pastry so I decided to give this bakery a try. The coffee was self serve from a machine and there was a mini-fridge with half and half. I got 4 pastries and the 3 I tried were all a little stale. I didn't try the muffin. Staff was efficient and polite. There wasn't much ambience and I don't think they had anyplace to sit. Prices were good. The bakery is located in a strip mall and is easy to access. They have lots of free parking. read more

I used to order from this place until today. I ordered a cake few days ago from Grubhub because I know I wouldn't have time to get one with work etc.for a 5 year old birthday. The delivery time was set for 5:30 pm the birthday starts at 6pm. I received a notification that the order was cancelled. I called the bakery and they told me they cancelled the order the day they received it since they don't make that cake anymore which is completely false and it's all Grubhub. I went back to Grubhub and saw they cake via Normandie bakery ready to order. So who wants to tell a 5 year old no birthday cake because people were rude and couldn't get their act together read more

I'm rarely moved enough to put in a Yelp review but the pretzel bread turkey, bacon, and cheese sandwich from the deli is terrific. Not only tasty but filled with a generous portion of turkey. I want to try the other sandwiches and hero but I can't move off of this sandwich. read more

7 layers Rainbow cookie married the cheesecake and it was delicious! I was recently at a Father's Day event the hostess served this amazing 7 layer Rainbow cookie cheesecake hybrid and it was Devine! I am a cookie fanatic and I really felt like they were 10/10 in the construction of the cake, not overly sweet, and great creamy consistency for the cheesecake. I will certainly hold this dessert experience in my mind for a while and I am thrilled that I could go and order my own for my future gatherings. read more

When we moved here, I passed this little bakery hub 100x but no one ever recommended it. So I tried everywhere else, including private bakers! But Normandie was just so much more convenient, and honestly kids don't care. I am pleased to say that our pre- ordered cake for our 5 year old, was just as good as any bakery we have used at 1/2 the price. Fresh yellow cake with 2 layers of fudge and hot pink icing. I bought the cake toppers on Amazon for the finishing touch! Customer service is lacking (perhaps Covid) I was yelled at by the woman taking my order and over charged for specialty sprinkles that were not included on the cake but was told IF I wanted them they would Have to charge for them, which they did. But no specialty sprinkles. All in all, the work on the cake far surpassed the lack of customer service! read more

I normally like to support local, but today wasn't the day. It's the day before Memorial Day, so I expected to have a variety of cakes to choose from. Seven layer cake thats a staple here? Nope. Even the customer in front of us asked for one. No dice. The black & white cake was all alone on a shelf, so I'm guessing it was there a while. I knew with the size of the cakes I'd have to get 3, & at $30 each, not having the one I really wanted was not a good start. Hubby was disappointed, so we left. Stopped at another local bakery & their selection was pretty small & disappointing too. We ended up at Costco. No, not a small business, but huge cakes for half the price of the bakery. Left with 2 cakes & together they weighed almost 8 pounds. Can you imagine? All for $35. And, both were delicious. One was chocolate cake with chocolate mousse & frosted in fudge. It was decorated in red,white & blue too. The other was a cheesecake that was divine. For what we paid, we had plenty of cake for everyone with leftovers. Again, I'd like to support local, but the sizes of their cakes are smaller & $30. I've also come across some stale cakes & pastries from time to time. I'm mainly having a hard time justifying a $30 price tag on a $20 cake. read more

Highly recommend this bakery as they were absolutely amazing with both customer service and product. I needed a last minute wedding cake and was a bit frazzled.!the counter girls managers and everyone else working out my mind at ease and helped me choose the perfect cake. The designer called me to confirm my design and choices and made it better than I could of imagined. It was absolutely delicious as well. Thank you for helping my daughters wedding day perfect read more

I ordered a buttercream mocha chocolate fudge chocolate cake and it was so delicious. I literally ate leftover cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 2 days straight. If you held me back in any sort of restraints, I promise you that I would find a way to break through to finish the delicious cake. I am truly looking forward to another excuse to order cake from Normandie Bakery. Also, I had their cannolis, lobster tails, eclairs and...oh my goodness...I will say no more since you should already be running to your car, putting on your seatbelt, and driving to the bakery. read more

My husband bought two pounds of assorted cookies at $15, for a total of $30 for my birthday. They were so stale. I cannot even believe that they were being sold in such a rock hard state. Not only that, most were flavorless. The red and green leaf cookies had absolutely no strawberry or pistachio flavor in them. These were worse than a food store batch of cookies. Needless to say, no one including the kids, ate them or would take them home. Had they not been closed for the evening, I would have bought them back. Update: Glad to say that Ralph, the owner reached out and rectified the situation. He even gave is a Hot Chocolate Bomb on the house. This batch of cookies was freshly made and buttery as they should be. read more

At least they are consistent. Another cake for Christmas stale as can be. Shame on me for going back and paying their ridiculous high prices. Won't be back. Go to Abbate Bakery in Matawan you won't be disappointed! This Bakery is ridiculously expensive for mediocre baked goods and they give attitude when waiting on you. See ya! read more

I LOVE this Normandie! You can custom order your cake to have it exactly the way you like in terms of the cake layers, frostings, decorations on top, etc. They always do such a cute job decorating. A small round cake is $20 which is awesome for something home made. They are also trans fat free so that's a huge plus. Overall it definitely beats a supermarket cake any day. :) They also have premade cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, cannolis, etc. All the sweets you could ever want! read more

A solid bakery and thankfully close to Matawan since the local places are awful. Decent selection. No pies though.

The baker was incredible and willing to work with us. My sister bought these foam flowers and dropped them off at the bakery since the flowers made of fondant were a bit pricey. There is a glitter finish on top that you can't see. The cake was delicious. All of the guests kept asking where we bought the cake. A+! read more

Normandie Bakery was en route home from some shopping, so I stopped by to see what offerings they had which could serve as a Mother's Day dessert. The smell of buttery richness (always a good sign IMO) was prominent once walking into the clean and really well lit customer area. Showcased in the displays were pretty much every type of bakery goodness you could name: Cakes, Cannolis, Cheesecakes, Cookies, Danish, Donuts, Muffins, and Pies (I'm sure I missed some things). Some of noticeable items I saw were a Rainbow Cake (think a super large Rainbow Cookie), a Derby cake, Brownie Cheesecake, and the item I wound up buying a beautifully robust 7-Layer Chocolate Cake. Having recently enjoyed a slice of 7-Layer Chocolate Cake from Martha's Country Bakery in Astoria, I was hoping it would equal Martha's delicious version. I'm happy to report it was really good. The first thing I noticed was a cake slice (equivalent to what I recently ate) was a heavier. Normandie's version is just physically larger coupled with slightly thicker sponge cake layers, and thicker chocolate frosting layers; all these accounting for the extra heft. Sponge cake was rich with a distinct buttery vanilla flavor. Chocolate frosting was excellent as it was thankfully not overly sweet; a trait which can really imbalance an otherwise delicious cake. My only negative for the cake was the aforementioned size and density of the cake which made eating a slice a bit difficult as each successive bite really weighed me down. This sentiment was also shared by Mom and others in my family that had a slice. I'm sure others may not have the same reaction. Overall really really yummy but be prepared to take a siesta afterwards. read more

These guys did my wedding cake and it was awesome. The price was reasonable and the quality of the cake was good. Our cake was layered with different flavors - chocolate, peanut butter, and more. It was overall really good. I would highly recommend Normandie for anyone's wedding cake. read more

My friend purchased a Nutella cake and a Reese's cake here for a party she had and both were delicious! I was very impressed so I had to stop by and pick up some other items to try. I purchased a carrot cake slice which was outrageous and by far the best item of the desserts I purchased. This bakery specializes in the cake department for sure. My next favorite items were the St Joseph cannoli cream filled pastry and the eclair. The rainbow bar with cannoli cream was good, but I had better before. I also purchased a lemon drop cookie which was not good at all and very hard. I'll stick too La Dolce Bakery in Old Bridge for the best lemon drop cookies ever. My friend also had a selection of their jelly cookies at her party which were just ok. In the jelly cookie department I prefer J & M bakery in Middletown. I highly recommend coming to this bakery and buying one of their amazing cakes and especially the carrot cake. Their pastries are really good here as well. In the cookie department I feel that their only ok and the lemon drops not good at all. I'll definitely be coming back to pick up some more cakes and pastries. read more

Tried Normandy bakery goods for the first time. Every single item that my family and I tried were delicious! Highly recommend!

Awesome bakery. Staff was very pleasant and attentive. Got a fudge cake birthday cake and it was delicious!!! In addition to that, the decoration on out with the writing was very very professionally done. It was beautiful. When you first walk in, the smell is amazing. I gained ten pounds just looking at the food. I found my new and ONLY bakery spot. Go there. You won't be disappointed read more

Just had the most amazing chocolate cake from Normandie Bakery. Everyone was raving about how moist and fresh the cake was. I normally avoid buttercream but had no choice here since I wanted it decorated in fresh flowers and with the hot weather, whipped cream would not hold up. Glad I gave buttercream a chance. It was absolutely delicious and beautiful. It was pink with a hint of glitter. This is definitely my new to go to bakery. read more

I stopped in again this past Friday 3/16/18 to get some St. JOSEPH'S Italian pastries for my 85 year old dad who was spending the weekend with me at my house In Hazlet. I asked the woman behind the counter if they were FRESH, naturally she said yes they were. It was 10 am. I bought 3 with custard and 3 with canoli cream. Needless to say 1 hour later having them with coffee They were not fresh the outer shell was hard and drying out. Shame on me I probably was given the ones left over from the day before NEVER Again will I buy pastries from here. ! read more

Not a pleasant experience at all. Went to order a cake for a 60th bday. Was told they don't have cake toppers & suggested I go to a party store, buy one & bring it back. Went back with my cake topper & was told by another employee it was too big for that size cake & why did I buy such a big one when they sold a smaller version! Then there was so much commotion about writing on the cake because of my large topper that would hang over the sides. She wasn't clear that they had to place the topper in the middle of the cake because of its size. I thought they could place it at the top of the cake & then write underneath. The owner had to come out & explain. I agreed to place the topper in the middle with writing along the bottom of the board. I wanted the cake to look pretty as it was for a 60th birthday. I rec'd no direction from the staff other than a blank stare & a suggestion of a border along the top & bottom of the cake. I wanted some color, but was told nothing would match the gold topper. This is what I got along with a HUGE GASH in the frosting! And as you can see, there was room for writing on the cake & the topper DOESN'T hang over. I thought they were known for their cakes! This looks terrible, it is just embarrassing. read more

Normandie Bakery made the wedding cake for our reception at Buona Sera. My husband and I met with Ralph a week beforehand. He was helpful and very personable. We hashed out a cake plan, picked fillings, ate samples, and we showed some photos of what we liked from Pinterest. Boom. I just finished eating more cake left overs about 15 minutes before writing this review. The cake was and is FABULOUS. We were told by basically every guest on our wedding night things like, "this wedding cake is actually good" and "this is the best wedding cake I have ever had". It also helps that we chose heavenly fillings like raspberry jam, chocolate mousse, and whipped cream. Inside and out, the cake was perfect. The cake itself was soft, and not overly sweet. Flavor balance was spot on. The butter cream exterior looked beautiful, and tasted lovely. I now have a go to bakery for deserts! Thank you Ralph, and thank you so much to your team! You helped make our special day sweeter! read more
