New to the area but we've been invited to two birthday parties where they purchased the birthday…read morecake from here. One of my kids' birthdays is coming up so I decided to keep that going. I haven't tried too many cakes in the area so I can't truly compare to give it a full 5 star rating BUT the comments I hear a lot of is they use fresh fruit in their cakes. I usually get birthday cakes from Asian bakeries where fresh fruit is expected so that was an interesting comment to make from my POV. The fruit birthday cakes I've had from here are pretty good. Not too sweet and the most interesting fruit fillings I've had in cake - banana! Among other fruits. The cake isn't as light/airy as I'm used to but not bad at all. The buttercream is on the sweeter side for me but okay if you eat it with the cake and don't leave it until the end. It's not a terribly thick layer. But the cakes were super colorful and it's a lot of food coloring with how saturated the colors are. Your mouth and tongue will be stained if you're not careful. Having said that, I ordered an Oreo cake because that's why my kid wants. BUT I did request that instead of buttercream on the outside, it'll be whipped cream. Still buttercream on the inside though. I'll update this review after the party as it hasn't happened yet. This is a shop that sort of takes you back when you walk in. It's located in a corner shopping center of sorts and they have a shared parking lot so no need to hunt for parking. It has a nostalgic feel with display cases along much of the length, refrigerated sections for drinks (some were Asian which surprised me) and ice cream cake. Plus a wall of candles and birthday cake decorations because they do take a lot of orders for special occasions. No extra frills and nothing for decor's sake. There was a steady line when I went on Sunday morning. Two doors, one designed to be the entrance and the other the exit (but there isn't a police so use whichever door, but the line starts at the entrance door). As you walk up to the counter, someone will help you out. They've got all sorts of things from pastries to cookies, cakes, cupcakes, cannoli's, pies... even a tres leches section that was woefully empty. The only thing is for some odd reason, there are signs of what the items were, but absolutely no prices were posted in the display cases. At least none that I was aware of. I was passed onto the manager to take my order. It took a little time because I'm pretty sure she also decorates cakes and some people were waiting on them but I eventually got my order in. A 9" Oreo cake (for up to 16 people) with whipped cream exterior and birthday message is about $75. I added on a tres leches on a whim - they sold out early but a new batch just finished so I got one straight from the kitchen - was roughly $10. Receipts are old school, orders taken on a paper pad with a carbon copy given to you. I've had a number of tres leches cakes before and this is one of a kind! Deliciously moist, whipped topping - and the cake is halved. In between, they put fruit in there! Plus a maraschino cherry on top and cinnamon dusted over it. It was nowhere near "too sweet" and I rather enjoyed it. A lot. In fact, I'm thinking of calling in to see if I can get some for the party for the adults. My picky daughter loved it. Overall, I have a pretty good impression of this bakery and I'm looking to trying more items over time.

I seriously love this place, they have the best pies/cakes. We love their cheesecakes, Sweet Potato…read more pies, cupcakes and Key Lime Pies. I also love that most of the pies come in large, or mini sizes. Recently ordered the Banana Cream Pie for my family and it was a hit!

I stopped in on St. Patrick's Day hoping for some yummy cookies and a loaf of Irish soda bread…read more They sure had plenty of good looking cookies and a few loaves of the bread so I was excited. They sure had woman behind the counter was very nice and helped me right away. When I got home we ( my Mom, Dad, and I tried a cookie. We all thought it was unfortunately too dry and pretty tasteless. Later on we tried the Irish Soda bread which we did not particularly like as well. That too was very dry and kind of crumbly. The coating of flour on top was too much and left a dryness in my mouth. It was not a good experience for me and I'm not sure if I'll ever go back.

I just wanted to add a quick update. Today I picked out the chocolate dulce cookie. It looks really…read morerich and fudgey, but it's not. The flavor is reminiscent of a chocolate snap cookie, but it's light and soft, slightly crunchy, and then you get to this heavenly ribbon of caramel in the middle. OMG, it really hit the spot for me. A single cookie can feel like a whole dessert. I'm saving some for later.

This was a lovely hometown cafe that I discovered during my business trip to Edison New Jersey…read more 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.

The place isn't big but they do have a couple of tables. I've only tried their beef empanadas and chocolate croissant and they were both so delicious! The beef empanada is shredded beef and not ground beef which I really appreciated. They also give you a sauce for the empanada and that's also really good! They also have breakfast and lunch options which I'm sure I'll try another time. And everyone who works there are very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this place.

They also have many pastries as well as other gourmet foods that can be purchased. A popular spot but not super packed on a Saturday afternoon.

We did takeout - the wait was about 20minutes but it was worth it! We were so stuffed that we couldn't eat lunch that day.
