I tried the hive cinnamon bun, and I thought baking mama was better, softer, felt more fresh --I tried both cold. Out of the cookies my favorite was the crinkle--it was like a brownie. My husbands was the ube. The chocolate chip with salt is really quite perfect

It's super tiny inside and only 3-5 people can comfortably stand to order. We got a few cookies and were on our way! Their cookies are all in the ~$4 range which is pretty fair for these specialty flavors and good quality cookies. My favorites in order were the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie, the Banana Pudding Cookie, the Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie, and lastly, the Ube Cookie. The Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie was gooey, sweet, and decadent in all the right ways. I'm a sucker for banana so I very much enjoyed the Banana Pudding Cookie. You taste actual banana! This is 10x better than the one Magnolia Bakery has! The Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie had a gentle bitterness/umami flavor that was offset by the sweetness of the white chocolate chips. The Ube Cookie was also good but surprisingly the ube didn't shine through as much here. All in all, you will not have a bad bite here and it's all a matter of preference. So glad I finally stopped by!

Sweet 343 Garden St…read more Hoboken, NJ 07030 Fluffernutter As I was walking by, I couldn't help but notice a row of cupcakes through the window. I spontaneously decided to give this bakery a try. I was originally hesitant to explore a cupcake that is a dessert version of fluffernutter sandwich. But, my gut instinct after seeing the cupcakes through the window was telling me that the dessert was on the money. Freshly baked in house, this moist vanilla cupcake is layered with peanut butter buttercream and marshmallow fluff. I enjoyed this "sweet" treat a lot more than I anticipated. It is recommended to have some napkins handy because the cream will most likely get on your face when you take a bite. I was also appreciative that the server offered a glass of water with the fluffernutter. #sweet #sweethoboken #fluffernutter #specialtycupcakes #hobokennj

Lemon filling, cream, with a name on top and some flowers. Or the topic today, the brownies. The brownies are dense fudgy and almost all the things brownies are supposed to be. These aren't the cake brownies that are all light and fluffy. Or those ones where the person heard there was chocolate in brownie and started dumping in gourmet dark chocolates. They are just the old fashioned brownies and they taste pretty darn good. The cake balls interior is just a little too mushy for my liking and the exterior a little too thin. The bones are there though. I am however giving 4 stars to the brownies...

I believe they are going to add to the menu soon. The lady who made my dessert took her time to make the presentation pretty. I was in a chocolate mood & I decided to get a chocolate roll to take home. It was a chocolate, cream-filled crepe. Not sure how this is supposed to only be 280 calories because it's huge. They don't list the ingredients so I am not sure what's in it. I think I would like to see an ingredient list. Was it delicious? Yes. Sweet but chocolatey and very fluffy. It's not something I would eat everyday, but it was a nice indulgence and if it is indeed lower calorie than most desserts, it might be good for the occasional cheat on a diet that won't do too much damage. I wish them well and hope that they stick around.

Had a good, slightly sour taste in a good way. No one else was in the place when I went in early and I think they were just opening as a place was still a bit dark.

We have ordered cakes here for different occasions and they are always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. You can taste the care that goes into everything they bake. The bakery is small, but the staff makes it feel welcoming the moment you walk in. They greet you kindly, help you with whatever you need, and make the whole experience feel personal. It has that neighborhood warmth that keeps you coming back. Their cakes are consistently soft, moist, and full of flavor. The designs are lovely and the pastries in the case always look tempting. It is clear they take pride in their work and in serving the community. If you want a cake that feels homemade with love but still looks professional, this is the place. We will definitely keep coming back for birthdays and every sweet moment in between.

I placed a last-minute order for a Dominican cake with pineapple filling because I had guests over, and it was a hit! I'm not usually a big fan of pineapple, but my guests couldn't stop raving about it and kept asking where it was from that's a win in my book! The service was just as sweet as the cake the staff here are incredibly kind and welcoming. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because parking is such a challenge. I went by myself and was lucky that a gentleman cleaning the business next door told me I could block their driveway while picking up my cake. If he hadn't been there, I definitely would've struggled to find a spot. Even though it's a bit of a drive from home, I'd come back to try other flavors but fair warning, parking is rough.

I was waiting for there to be more unique gluten free versions before I bought it for someone who can't have gluten. This holiday season satisfied that longing when I got an email about their new holiday flavors, 4 of which come gluten free using King Arthur flour. Bought the pumpkin pie one, and I'm not sure how they managed to do it, but it's incredible. There's no discernible difference from their regular shortbreads. Super rich and buttery and the pumpkin pie topping was smooth and flavorful. Your credit card bill will be sad but your mouth won't
