Pastry Lu is exceptional. Lu truly is a wonder with a top notch recipe for every item in the case. The prices are typical Metuchen but every bite is totally worth it. The vibe is on point and just all in pink. Definitely Insta worthy. The service is always so friendly and the tray comes out absolutely . We can't say no to Pastry Lu when we visit Main Street. Great spot to chat and just relax in the morning.
TLDR: solid tres leches and a great store. Pastry Lu's natural light and comfortable seating make the cafe a wonderful spot to relax and hangout. One of the stores specialties is tres leches. The gentleman helping me stepped through the many varieties of tres leches. I got a personal coconut one and a larger one to share. Both were deliciously milky and fresh. The only issue was that the larger one didn't hold too well after 2 hours in the fridge - the cake was a little too soaked for my preference I'd come back again for a cake
Perfect place for dessert! It's decorated so cute and is bright and inviting. The staff is super nice and helpful and I love how they have a large display of all of their desserts! They have a wide range of options like cookies, brownies, cheesecakes, and tres leches. Everything is very well made and so delicious! Definitely recommend!!
After dinner we tried this super adorable pastry shop. We purchased four different pastries and two seasonal drinks. First of all, I recommend taking suggestions from the staff. The gentleman who assisted us was very helpful and honest. He made recommendations based off our personal preferences and the ratings reflect his success! They have dairy free options for their hot drinks. Each pastry was not too sweet and so tasty. The warm apple cider drink has me wishing I lived in NJ so I could have more! The pastry shop has a few really comfortable sitting options. It's not big enough to accommodate a large party but perfect for a party of four. We will be back when we come back into town.
Small, dainty bakery that makes very sweet, rich and divine latin inspired desserts. The sales girl was super friendly and welcoming. Got their whole flan, which was thick, creamy and melt in your mouth delicious with the right amount of caramel syrup to complement the custard. Their trifle cups are a must try. Had the tres leches and the tres leches with caramel. Very sweet but the flavors are all there and complement each other. There is a small seating area. And there is street parking. Will return to try more items
Incredible bakery and coffee shop in downtown. Service was impeccable with perfectly crafted trays of pastries, coffee, and quiches. Perfect spot to meet a friend for a morning coffee and sweet treat. Brightly colored interior with plants and many cute tables to sit at. Highly recommend the Captain Crunch Cookie!!
Fantastic location. Right on Main Street in metuchen. Yessssss.. parking is a mess here ! Very tough to get a parking and sometimes you have to park 5-10 mins away .. service was good : loved the interiors . Loved the colorful walls and interiors . They have really good pastries ! I just loved the chocolate croissants ! Just super fresh and yummy ! Also liked their cakes and coconut cookies ... had coconut cookies after a long time and it was really good . Slightly expensive but worth it . Good experience overall.
I love pastry Lu. So many choices including tres leches, pastries, cookies. My fave is the captain crunch cookie. It's massive and the perfect mix of sweet and salty. The interior is so cute too with plenty of seats to sit and enjoy your food. They have some savory croissants too to fill you up.
Cute small pastry shop with delicious cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, coffees. You can purchase by cakes also by the slices. They have pre-sliced and boxed in their fridge. Everything looks and tastes delicious. I order 3 cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate oreo and chocolate pretzels with two coconut cookies. Yummy! Talk about sweets. There's also savory croissants as well. I will have to come back to try their Dominican dulce cake next time. Parking is off street and yes, it's metered. You can also pull into one of the parking lots as well. All parking is free Sunday in this town.
What a cute little dessert shop in Metuchen! This place specializes in various cakes, cheesecakes, tres leches, cupcakes, and pastries (of course). Walking in, you are greeted by pink wall accents, smooth R&B music, and a wonderful display case of sweets! While I have had people rave about the banana pudding and various pastries here, what was truly irresistible to me were the different flavors of tres leches! I end up going with the Mango Tres Leches, and man, it truly did not disappoint! The mango puree on top was decadent, blending really well the creamy tres leches base. Best part about it is that there is a thin layer of mango puree on the bottom as well, so your last bite will not disappoint. For our friends who are handicap, there is a small step to get into the cafe. Accessible parking is not right at the door, but close by. Parking in general is a little bit of a hassle like any downtown area, but street parking is always around and the parking tower behind the train station. Definitely a cute small business that I recommend you stop by and support! They will be moving just down the street on May 30th, 2024.
Excellent customer service with high quality pastries made fresh to order. This was my first time in this chic bakery and I was glad I gave it a try. Great art work on the wall with a Cozy inviting ambiance. Can't wait to return. Also the cinnamon roll was delicious!! The cream cheese frosting was excellent, the roll itself was flaky yet still moist at the same time. Beautiful presentation as well. Top tier experience!
I've passed by Pastry Lu and even window shopped at their old locations numerous times, and I'm sad to say that I only tried their famous tres leches last month! From the first bite, I knew this place would be five stars! Tres leches is one of my favorite desserts, so Pastry Lu really set the bar. My friend had said tres leches was their favorite dessert, so I was on the hunt for a tres leches cake for his birthday. It didn't take long to stumble upon Pastry Lu on Yelp. There were many glowing reviews so I figured I should give it a shot! Ordering a cake was simple and quick over phone, and picking up was even quicker! The beautiful pink and floral decor of the exterior caught my eye, and walking in made me realize how great of a wfh spot this would be. I loved the chalk menus and browsing through the various offerings. As a coffee fanatic, I'll need to take the time to get some. Upon first bites, the tres leches was already a hit with my coworkers and me. Probably the creamiest tres leches I've tried in the central jersey area. It was drenched in milk as it should be. Pastry Lu can also provide birthday toppers (though I was given a Happy Anniversary one in a funny mishap), which also made for a cute present. The shop sometimes has tres leches glass cakes in store, but it'll only be what flavors are available that day. There are also other cakes like cheesecake, tiramisu, etc. I wish there was a list of flavors available somewhere, but this has enticed me to keep coming back and try more. I came back and tried coffee and salted caramel tres leches in a cup, and I still dream about it. You get so much cake at that price point! In the glass cake, it serves 5-6 people but I think I could handle it on my own haha. So far I've tried the traditional and dulce de leche glass cakes, where both were amazing! Dulce de leche is on the sweeter side, so you may want another flavor for a friend with less of a sweet tooth. Thank you Pastry Lu for your service, happy to have another go to place for birthday cakes!
Pastry Lu has settled into their new location on Main Street! There seems to be more space and seating, with the same cozy vibes. Staff is still as friendly and appreciative as ever. I opted for cold brew and a pastry this morning, delicious!! The BEST raspberry cheese danish I've ever had! There were so many other pastries that I'll be back to try soon. And of course, I'm looking forward to picking up the tres leches that made me fall in love with Pastry Lu in the first place! Wishing them great success in their new location!

Thank you so much!!! it makes me sooo happy that you enjoyed it!!
This was a lovely hometown cafe that I discovered during my business trip to Edison New Jersey. It's more of a bakery than an actual cafe, however they have it set-up very nicely and there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy. They offer a vast selection of cakes and pastries, and I had my eye on the coconut tres leches that looked so scrumptious. It was kind of priced a little bit out of my budget today, and I instead got the gourmet chocolate cupcake. I also ordered a homemade iced tea to go with the cupcake, and they both were very delicious. The service was good and the person behind the counter helped me with a smile. This place is for sure not your typical cafe, and it's really geared for short stays. It's beautiful j side and I would definitely recommend it here whenever you are in the Edison or Metuchen area. read more
Went to have coffee latte and tried a slice of their coffee (mocha) cake. Great taste coffee and delicious coffee (mocha) cake. Pricey baked goodies, but it's worth the taste. Friendly serving staff and nicely painted and well decorated pastry shop. They should open late on Fridays and Saturdays. Street paid Parking is limited. Free WiFi. read more

Cutest pastry shop! So many baked goods, pastries and tres leche to choose from. The best tres leche I've had in a while! My new favorite pastry shop. The owner was so friendly and shared with us how the paintings that are up on the wall were painted by his father. I love the tribute to his father within his shop and how beautiful the art is. I cant wait to come back and try other pastries. read more

A cute little bakery inside a pink house. It has a great selection of cheese cake and other stuff. The staff was friendly and the store was inviting. The dulce tres leche cake was delicious and the chocolate cake was rich and tasty. read more
Delicious pastries!! Tried their coconut macaroon and I was upset I didn't get more! Will definitely be back for more! Their cheese cake was also a great choice along with their cupcakes! Would recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth! Friendly and attentive service; not much of a wait for a weekend, which was perfect read more

Was looking for a place that sold and makes tres leches! Gf of mine recommended this place. Came here in person to do an inquiry and ended up ordering for Thanksgiving!! Lol and take out. Spoke with May! Super friendly and was able to give me information for the tres leches. The place has such a positive vibe and feminine touch! Feels super cozy and clean!!! They were closing up shop but they were able to assist. Their Thanksgiving specials were a 40oz traditional tres leches; dulce de leche tres leches; and pumpkin tres leches! Let me tell you when I saw the different flavors of tres leches (ie salted caramel; guava; pecan pie just to name a few) I was blown away. That solidified me placing my Thanksgiving order. If they're selling different flavored tres leches then ya know the place is legit with the tres leches recipe!! Lol I ended up taking out the passion fruit TL! It was so good. Expected it to be sweet and/or sour but it was just right!!! EXACTAMENTE! :) not too sweet nor sour! Just right. Found out it was May's sister that does the baking and creations. I applaud and admire her passion for baking!!! Definitely recommend this place!!! Thanks!!! Keep up the great work!!! Can't wait to try the other flavors!! :D read more
Just went here over the weekend thanks to my cousins that recommended this spot. The shop is super cute outside and inside (and also very clean). I highly recommend getting the 1/2 lb Captain Crunch cookie, it was delicious, great for sharing and had a great texture to it! They also have samples that you can try - everything I tried was really good. Lots of options to choose from and I am looking forward to coming back to try more items :) The staff was super friendly and prices are very reasonable. read more

Really cute place! Everything looked so delicious. We were trying to kill time since we put our names down for Hatch 44. Decided to stop by for a bacon, cheddar, chive croissant and a latte - fabulous. We asked if they did quiche and they said they were working on multiple flavors for quiche which they will introduce soon so we are excited to try that and other things from here. The owners/staff are beyond nice and kind. Highly recommend this coffee/pastry spot. read more

This pastry shop is a great addition to the Metuchen community located right across from the Metuchen train station. You can find cupcakes, cakes, croissants and coffee all here. The desserts are delicious - check out my photos for proof as I already ate into this triple chocolate cake (one of my favorites), and the chocolate, caramel and Oreo cake (another dessert you will drool over). None of the dessert's I've tried are made to share - it's that good! I've also tried their traditional tres leches and carrot pineapple, and listen, the chef(s) deserves all the kudos! This bakery may have me empty out my wallet each time I step foot into the shop. The team is friendly and helpful, always ready to answer any questions I have. You feel welcomed when you walk in and there is a seating area for a small group. This is my go to bakery and I recommend it to anyone who loves pastries. read more

I went to Pastry Lu on an impromptu date with my husband on a Sunday. We ordered croissants with ham and cheese, mango smoothie, dulce de leches tees leches, and Oreo cheesecake to go. We decided to have our food and eat it outside. They were so kind enough to bring our food outside and presented it beautifully on a tray. Everything tasted great and the staff was so kind and attentative. I will definitely come back here again and try more of their delicious pastries! read more
Passed by this spot in Metuchen downtown a few times and knew I had to give it a try as I've been looking for a go to bakery... and Pastry Lu did not disappoint! From the moment I walked in, the workers were extremely kind and helpful in guiding me through all their items. The inside of the store was clean, cute, and welcoming as well. They told me tres leches were their best sellers/specialty so we ordered 1) banana and cream tres leches, 2) coconut tres leches, and 3) guava cheesecake. Tres leches = $8, Cheesecake = $5.50 Everything was so delicious -- the tres leches were sweet and creamy and the cheesecake texture was on point and the guava provided the right amount of tartness. I will definitely be back to try everything else they have to offer! Also if you're unsure of what to get, there are small free samples on the side of brownies, cookies and more. read more

I came back for more!! I got the chocolate croissant which was perfectly golden brown and also super flakey and buttery --- it literally beats all the starbucks ones that I've tried. I also had the original tres leches and tiramisu. The tres leches was pretty creamy and sweet, while the tiramisu was light and fluffy. I loved that it didn't have too strong of coffee flavor but still was bursting with so much flavor. This time, they also provided samples of their brownie and chocolate chip cookies (so kind of them!) read more

This pastry shop is a great addition to the downtown Metuchen. Had a chance to have the "weekend special" croissants which are not typically french, but a buttery, flavorful delight. Why I call them weekend special? coz they make The greek, pesto and others on the weekends. Tiramisu was light and fluffy and coffee is amazing. And yes, it's so instagramable that you can fluff your feed with a new shot from practically any corner. it's beautiful. love their staff- so friendly and nice. Highly recommended. read more
