The cakes are always delicious and beautifully decorated. Everyone who eats them always asks where they came from! A lot of times, birthday cakes taste like... well, birthday cakes--you know, the standard yellow cake with overly sweet, artificial-tasting frosting. But not these. These cakes taste homemade, fresh, and made with real love. I also can't wait to try their cupcakes--they look just as amazing! If you're in the Red Bank area, this is the place to go for any celebration or just to enjoy a delicious treat!

2 Chicks with Chocolate is AMAZING! Every time I go I have a wonderful experience and look forward…read moreto trying their new flavor creations. Everyone who works there is so sweet and helpful and I've even been able to try a sample or few ;) when they aren't busy. My faves are cold brew coffee caramel, PB whiskey truffle, lime gin gimlet (my husband's favorite), kalamansi margarita, and marshmallow fluff. It's very obvious they take a lot of time and effort to get each flavor perfect and design each one. I love the balance in each chocolate. For the Christmas season my kids loved the hot cocoa snowman and dark chocolate mint reindeer. The black forest was also delicious. One time my husband bought me the 50 piece assortment and I was in heaven. For Valentine's Day and Easter they do even more new flavors. I just happened to stop in the shop with my husband to get some chocolates when the owner Elyissia was in (I only know this now because I heard her tell someone else her name. She was so sweet and I could see she takes pride in everything her shop creates.) We got a sneak taste of this year's new Valentine's flavors and let me tell you, you are going to want to grab several of each one, they were to die for! Really hoping some make it into regular rotation, flavors I've never seen anywhere else. I love being able to support a small woman-owned business and of course enjoy delicious chocolates while doing it. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

I went to this choco expo in Bally's twin river casino in RI over the weekend and picked up some of…read more(2 chicks with chocolate) chocolates. When I got home it melted and just somehow exploded in the package. The girl who packaged it must have squeezed it too hard and I didnt know until I got home. I was very disappointed seeing this melted and looks disgusting in the box. I also was very disappointed with the service I received at the expo. It was as if the workers did not want to work there and they told us a special deal AFTER we had already bought the 6 piece. I dont understand why she couldn't have mentioned it before or during my purchase..... I would never recommend this place and please save your money. It was very overpriced for some average chocolates.

June 6 was my birthday, and after celebrating the night before at a lovely restaurant in the city,…read moreI found myself with no plans on my actual birthday. I decided I wanted to treat myself to a little cake. I usually visit a local bakery for cakes, mini desserts, and cannolis. It's generally pretty good, although it can be a bit hit or miss depending on what you order. While searching online for bakeries nearby, this place came up with stellar reviews. I was surprised to see it was only about an 11-minute drive from my house, so I decided to make the trip. The bakery was set up much like a classic neighborhood bakery, with beautiful cakes displayed along one side and cases filled with mini desserts, pastries, cookies, and cannolis. While chatting with the staff, I mentioned the bakery I usually go to. That's when they told me that bakery actually gets its cakes from Normandie. I found that fascinating because I had always assumed every bakery made its own cakes from scratch. Suddenly, a lot made sense. I had originally planned on buying a small birthday cake, but since it was only for two people, I decided to put together an assortment of mini desserts instead. I picked up tiramisu, carrot cake, lemon cake, and several other mini cakes. Every single one was outstanding. Not one dessert missed the mark. The carrot cake was moist, the tiramisu was perfectly balanced, and the lemon cake was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully made. The minis were slightly smaller than the ones I'm used to buying elsewhere, but honestly, they were the perfect size. Now that I know where those cakes are actually coming from, I'll happily make the extra 11-minute drive and buy directly from the source. This will absolutely be my new go-to bakery for birthdays, special occasions, and hostess gifts. A wonderful birthday discovery that turned into finding my new favorite bakery.

Very few markets excite me since I'm accustomed to seeing all these specialties in every Italian neighborhood, I go to, however, I have to say this shopping experience is one of the most delightful of all the Italian specialty shops I've ever been. Aside from having some of the highest quality of meats, vegetables, seafood, and Italian specialties. I find the service to be delightful. Each and everyone of their staff members are highly trained, pleasant and knowledgeable. I find the price is slightly higher than most, but considering it's a specialty shop, it's to be expected.

I order their party boxes for all my special occasions and it's always a hit with my party guests. For Thanksgiving I ordered their thanksgiving pies and the key lime and pumpkin pie were incredible( featured in the video). Every week they change up the menu and you can try different cookies . Also you can pre-order cookies up to a week in advance. It's no wonder the lines to get into a Crumbl in NYC are so crazy long, they're truly the best. Don't sleep on them, they got the best flavors and taste amazing! There are no long lines at this location, so take advantage!
