Vesta Chocolate is one of those places that reminds you how thoughtful food can be…read more We shared a half brownie and a peppermint hot chocolate, and both felt intentional rather than indulgent for indulgence's sake. The brownie was rich without being heavy, balanced, and clearly made with care. But the hot chocolate is where Vesta really shines. The staff is genuinely knowledgeable about the makeup of the drink, not just the menu language. You can choose your preferred milk, and they explain how each option changes the experience. That kind of attentiveness matters. It tells you they know what they're serving and why. And the homemade marshmallows? Soft, pillowy, and quietly perfect. Not an afterthought. A finishing touch that elevates the whole cup. Vesta feels curated without being precious. Warm without being chaotic. A place where craft, knowledge, and comfort meet in a way that feels grounded and human. I'll absolutely be back.

Wanted to get some coffee and sweets with two other people and came across this pastry shop…read more There were a few seating which was available by what looked like a "hallway"(?) but we didnt really mind as there was no heavy foot traffic. their chocolate (opera) cake was really good and their lemon Madeleine too! brought more for home along with their canneles. The raspberry pistachio croissant was pretty but im just not a raspberry fan in general and found the filling to be quite tarty. for drinks, I got their Mocha latte and enjoyed that as well. If I ever stop by again im definitely getting those madeleines one more time!

My friend insisted on stopping here for 1 item, and im so glad we did. Is Dez leaving a 5 star item…read morefor 1 item? Yes, mam. i highly suggest you get the espresso milkshake. its not too thick, you do not have to wait for it to melt. the shake itself is creamy. they blend this with 100% italian espresso, not just milk. So if you're looking for that kick, look no further. keep in mind they have other seasonal flavors of the gelato to blend in for the shake. you can also buy tubs of the gelato in the freezer off to the side I also grabbed a red velvet cookie, i didnt hate this, but felt it was a little dry. I will gladly come back for the house made cannolli and another espresso milkshake.

It has a small town feel, always busy but rarely a wait, and a great small town feel which perfectly fits Bloomfield, but no review would be complete without mentioning their national or global significance as a significant filming location from "The Soprano's" series.

I had wanted to check this place out as just a local landmark, so when I finally got around to it,…read moreI was very satisfied by the quality of the ice cream and the old fashioned vibes. There's a counter as well as booths. You can get some candy or ice cream to go as well as get some quick bites and of course, ice cream. I wanted to start with something standard to see how they did it and got a pineapple sundae with vanilla ice cream. The whipped cream and cherry on top made it adorable, and the ice cream was creamy and very vanilla. The wet walnut sundae also paired well with it. Both were just overflowing right out of the dish. Even though it's simple, it wasn't basic. We were served quickly and with pretty and tasty desserts. I admire the local history captured in photos. There is plenty of street parking nearby. The old school vibe is missed in a lot of places, so it's nice to sit down, relax, and just have a splendid treat.

All of them were delicious! Think the biscotti was the best I ever had! I figured this would be a great place to order a Thanksgiving dessert. Last Sunday, I stopped back in. Sunima was absolutely wonderful answering all my questions about the different pies and cakes. I ended up ordering 8 inch fruit tart. (Please see attached photo). It was $52 plus tax. Totally worth the money. On 11/26, I stopped back in to pick up my order. The fruit tart was already. Thank you Mattarello's! The fruit tart was the hit of all Thanksgiving desserts.

And it's still there, but now we have one over in Caldwell. Much easier for me to get to, and so now that I have been here all these centuries later, I present you with my unbiased review as follows. Pro: Wide selection. They show some of each up front, and I saw with my order that they've made many more than that on the shelves behind the counter so that they keep their display intact. Con: Very little room to see the displays. When I came in, I was immediately in line. They then snaked us back to the back of the room so I could see everything else, finding the chocolate I was directed to purchase. Pro: Delicious. Long-standing tradition of homemade. Con: Not easy to find this tiny storefront among all the others, overshadowed by Stop & Shop and more. Pro: Nice friendly staff up front and taking phone calls. The person ahead of me was known to the desk lady, who apparently knew her mom very well as a frequent visitor. Pro: The fact that there are many frequent visitors, and a line that kept replenishing at 4:00 on a workday. Pro: My mother loves Bromilow, and it's about to be Mother's Day. The pros outweigh the cons. We have a winner.
