My MIL really enjoys the strawberry cake here, it's not overly sweet and the med size cake lasts her about a week. Sh is 93, and it's important to her, that she has something special to serve her visitors, when she makes them coffee. What makes her happy, makes me happy. They do have other cakes, but this is the one I purchase most often along with cookies. stop in, the staff is really nice and friendly.

(Although I guess it is a GF bakery, but some prices were considered unreasonable.) The whole bakery itself was ok. I did appreciate how they were giving out free stickers.

Had to go back three times today for simple bread rolls that should have been out when they opened up an hour ago. Counter service is weak and slow which only adds to a negative experience here.

Our products, Belvidere Biscuits, are a sinfully decadent sweet artisan dessert- a soft, rich, and dense biscuit. We have combined our 130-year-old recipe with Victorian-themed branding and have created what we believe is a singular dessert experience. Our biscuits are handmade, small batch, artisan baked goods. Each batch is created by hand, and all ingredients hand cut and mixed, and with no machinery, ensuring the integrity of each mouthwatering ingredient. This is why you'll see whole chocolate chips, and large chunks of fruit and nuts. We put no preservatives, no dyes, and no artificial flavoring into our product. We then slice them hot out of the oven. And, of course, every single batch is baked fresh and made to order. 19 Decadent Flavors!

We went down to Bay Head for a tasting, tried different combinations and worked through the design with the team. I especially appreciated that they were willing to have an opinion. We came in with ideas, including a couple combinations we thought sounded great, and they were comfortable telling us where something might not work as well in practice as it did in our heads. The finished cake was gorgeous. Three tiers, this beautiful draped treatment on the outside, chocolate cake with cannoli filling and buttercream. It had plenty of visual drama without tasting overly sweet. People actually talked to us about the cake afterward. We ended up cutting it with Andúril from The Lord of the Rings.

They bring the taste of Sicily to Monmouth County - so good that you need to check it out for yourself. With imported cold cuts straight from Italy, and fresh Italian pastries from Brooklyn, I knew I was in for a treat! I tried the Al Pacino (#4) which features Genoa salami, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, arugula, tomatoes, and roasted garlic pesto. Each bite took me to an Italian paradise. All of the bread is made fresh in house, including the amazing focaccia that the sandwich was made with. Not only was it delicious but it was also huge and very filling! Anthony takes great pride in his food, his shop, and his heritage. It is evident in the nods to Sicilian culture throughout the restaurant, and the way he treats all his customers like family. He was kind enough to share a sample of the fresh mozzarella (which was UNREAL) with myself and some other customers while my sandwich was being prepared and that's when I knew I'd be well taken care of. I cannot wait to come back and enjoy more of what they have to offer!

As we waited for our order, we chatted with Anthony and learned that there are no shortcuts here.
