Simona's bakery has a great selection of cookies and other desserts. I really enjoy their large…read moreselection of biscotti's and different flavors as well as they have two different types of rainbow cookies, one with a apricot jelly and one with what I think is a traditional raspberry jelly. 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.

Unprepared when they open the doors at 7 AM. Empty shelves and still baking stuff that should…read morealready be on display. Quality of bake goods is menza menza. Had to go back three times today for simple bread rolls that should have been out when they opened up an hour ago. Counter service is weak and slow which only adds to a negative experience here. Bottom line: NOT recommend! Muller's bakery of Bayhead eats their lunch all week long and then some. Go here instead, it's worth the drive..

Praise the LARD! Stumbled upon this place by seeing the words EMPANADAS on the window. Once I saw…read morethose words, I walked straight inside and ordered myself one. I did enjoy my breakfast empanada very much but the chicken one was definitely my favorite. It came with a chimichurri type sauce that just brought the already flavorful empanada to another level. The acid/garlic from the sauce was able to brighten up the heavier filling and crust. Let's talk about the crust for a second. It was so flaky, melt in your mouth texture! We did get to try the beef empanada as they gave it to us on accident instead of the chicken. All three were delicious and next time I would love to try their quiches or homemade soups!

Their Magic Bars, Funfetti Bars, and Key Lime Bars are a hit. They have a selection of Gluten Free items. I've pre-ordered cheese cakes in the past and they are amazing. This place is a must try!

Our products, Belvidere Biscuits, are a sinfully decadent sweet artisan dessert- a soft, rich, and dense biscuit. We have combined our 130-year-old recipe with Victorian-themed branding and have created what we believe is a singular dessert experience. Our biscuits are handmade, small batch, artisan baked goods. Each batch is created by hand, and all ingredients hand cut and mixed, and with no machinery, ensuring the integrity of each mouthwatering ingredient. This is why you'll see whole chocolate chips, and large chunks of fruit and nuts. We put no preservatives, no dyes, and no artificial flavoring into our product. We then slice them hot out of the oven. And, of course, every single batch is baked fresh and made to order. 19 Decadent Flavors!

The Scone Pony in Spring Lake has a cute ambiance and even better scones…read more The Scone Pony is more of a grab and go location for fresh baked pastries like scones, cookies, and muffins. I purchased five scones and each one was better than the last. Some of the flavors we tried were: blueberry, chocolate chip, cinnamon chip, vanilla bean, and funfetti. My personal favorites were the chocolate chip and funfetti; and my husband loved the blueberry. The service is always friendly and they do take call ahead orders. My only complaint is that they are closed Monday - Wednesday. Pros: delicious fresh baked scones Cons: limited days open Overall, I highly recommend stopping at The Scone Pony for a delicious pastry.

The crumb cake is a huge portion and comes with or without a delicate glaze. A thick layer of cinnamon crumbs adorn this light cake base. Very rich and buttery.

The shop is adorably decorated with sweets, it is most importantly immaculately clean, and family owned which is my favorite part.
