They also have a selection of butter cookies which are really great if you're bringing a box of something somewhere. The last time I came in I tend to be indecisive with so many selections and the woman behind the counter was very kind and patient with me waffling on what I wanted to get and how much of it I wanted to get. She even happily wrapped up the box because I was bringing it over to my sister's house. The shop is small but it does have a lot of items and to be honest if it was much bigger, I don't know if it would change much outside of having space for people to sit down which seems outside their business model. This seems like a great place place to stop if you were going to someone's house and needed to take a box of something or if it was the holidays and you wanted to get some desserts to bring. There is also the occasional self-indulgence and I really enjoyed the rainbow cookies.

The most recent purchase being my daughter's second birthday which was unicorn themed. They never fail to produce a beautiful, affordable, and fresh cake that everyone loves. Their carrot cake is top-tier, and everyone who eats it always raves over it. The shop is adorably decorated with sweets, it is most importantly immaculately clean, and family owned which is my favorite part. The family is so sweet, so accommodating, and truly cares about their customers. Excited to pick up my 4 dozen cupcake order today for my daughter's birthday!

I ordered ten dozen cupcakes to share at the Garden State Film Festival for my friend's birthday! They even "reserved " one dozen especially for us to enjoy together later with sprinkles and "Happy Birthday" messages! We made a million friends that day and shared them with the staff at the Berkeley Oceanfront- who were thrilled! The cakes were luscious and moist - and apropos to their name - as sweet and wonderful as you could ever hope a cupcake to be! We got churro, red velvet, chocolate sundae, eclair, chocolate raspberry, sprinkles, coconut and a half dozen other flavors - each more sumptuous than the last! Stop your search now and get these treats for your friends and guests. I promise you'll be very glad you did

Everyone took maybe two bites before throwing it out, which was embarrassing and such a waste. When I reached out to the bakery, the response was more than unprofessional. The woman I spoke with on the phone- the mother of the owner, was aggressive rather than understanding, and instead of making it right, they only offered me a pathetic $15 store credit (which why would I use that after this horrible experience). After spending nearly $80, that doesn't feel like fair compensation at all. They also tried to insinuate that I was lying about the experience and quality of the cake. This was such a poor experience from both the product and the customer service side that I feel others should be aware before ordering. Their name Twisted Sisters suits them. I will never order from this bakery ever again.

These weren't the greatest donuts or coffee I've ever had, but what really tipped the scales for me…read morewas the price and most importantly customer service. I wandered in here on the 4th of July probably around 7am-ish after misreading Google Maps and taking an ill-advised walk from our Airbnb down a solid chunk of Route 9. (There was a pedestrian path on the other side of the road that looked very peaceful in comparison and I just didn't feel like crossing the highway to get on it - 100% on me). As soon as I saw the crowded parking lot, I knew this was probably the only mom and pop game in town - there's a Dunkin nearby at least - and that this was a locals place through and through. The interior is small, and it felt probably even smaller because it was packed with locals, all of whom were super nice to me. The door was held for me both going in and out, and milk was offered/handed to me for my coffee by a fellow customer. Any mild issues I had in moving around the room were negated by the hospitality. The back wall of the room and side counters are dominated by pastries, and there's a coffee station to the left of the entrance that's similar to what you'd find at a gas station convenience store - low maintenance for sure but gets the job done. The display of donuts behind the register caught my eye before anything else, so I opted for two of those - chocolate frosted and strawberry frosted. There were a few edgier flavors including a 4th of July themed blue one but I don't typically mess around with the classics. They were pretty tasty - decent size for sure, maybe a little cakier than I typically prefer, but the dough was on the airy side and I liked that they didn't skimp on the frosting. I grabbed an additional coffee for one of my top-tier chums (two of whom came to rescue me from a return walk down Route 9), and the total - two coffees and two donuts - came to a little over $5. We were all delightfully flabbergasted. That typically gets you maybe a caffeinated beverage closer to the city. Worth a stop for sure if you're in the area. In the low-key land of strip malls between Seaside and AC, I'd much rather go to a little standalone shop like this, as would my wallet.

Colonial Bakery is a must if in Lavallette, NJ. What a lot of patrons in line didn't know (maybe…read morethis is new) is that online ordering is available for next-day or future pickups. Seems like that is the way to go if you're a summer local or are looking to do something time sensitive. The requirements for this are detailed on the website. If you're coming for the summer and don't mind the whole experience of taking a number, waiting in line, talking to East Coast locals, and taking in the sweet smells of the bakery...then enjoy the wait! The "Crumb Bun" or crumb cake as we call it, is what we also come here for because it's the "it" thing us West Coasters don't get on our side. What I noticed is they do individual pieces, a whole cake that serves 6-8, platters, with Bavarian cream, filled with slices of cinnamon apples, and a bag of "just the crumbs". We went with a whole crumb cake to take back to feed the family/guests, and a few decorated Sesame Street cookies. They have everything here though - from donuts/pastries, bagels/rolls/bread, fun cookies, cupcakes...you name it. They also have coffee! All in all get there close to opening, pre-order if needed, or just enjoy the crumb cake ride.
