In 1983, I arrived in New Jersey to begin my professional football journey with the New York…read moreGiants. As a young kid from Louisiana, one of the first things I missed was the culture, flavor, and sweet treats that reminded me of home in New Orleans. Back then, my teammates used to tease me relentlessly about being the "fat rookie from Louisiana" because I was always chasing pralines, cookies, pastries, and every sugary delight imaginable. Not long after arriving, I stumbled upon a hidden gem that instantly made me feel at home -- Lyndhurst Pastry Shop. This led me to "SACKING" tons of NFC QB's over the years. From day one, Paulette, Jerry, her father, and the entire staff have treated me like family. Decades later, they are still absolutely knocking it out of the park. Whether it's their incredible Italian ice, authentic cannoli, specialty cookies, or my personal weakness -- their unbelievable apple rings -- this place never disappoints. Truth be told, I can't stop there without bringing one home for my wife. Some places serve food. Others serve memories, tradition, and comfort. Lyndhurst Pastry Shop has done that for me for over 40 years. A true North Jersey institution. Five stars isn't enough -- if I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Leonard A.

The Lyndhurst Pastry Shop located on Ridge Road is an iconic must visit during the holiday season…read more There quality pastry, cookie, pie, bread, and cakes are without peer and their staff is always professional and top rate. I ordered the Christmas Honey balls ($19.95) and the Fudge Layer Cake ($29.50) and while I disagree with the credit card fee being passed to the consumer, the quality of the product exceeds that cost. Inside the venue is a true classic bakery atmosphere and while there is usually a line, the service is brisk and moves fairly quickly. If you want to impress your holiday season guests, family or friends, the LPS is the right venue for traditional Italian baked goods and desserts! As i return to NJ for the holidays, I will make at least three or four stops at LPS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I've never written a negative review before, but this experience was beyond unacceptable…read more I placed a custom cake order that we discussed, confirmed, and had in writing. I started calling at 9am to finalize the invoice and never heard back until 2pm. When I finally reached someone, I was spoken to with open hostility and told, "What was I supposed to do, make the cake in an hour?"--despite the fact that everything had been confirmed days prior. The owners mother and counter girl spoke to me in a way I've never experienced from any business or anyone for that matter . Shockingly rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I have written proof and photos showing they do take custom cake orders, despite later claiming they don't. There was no misunderstanding, no mix-up--just unacceptable behavior. I strongly recommend staying away from this establishment. No customer deserves to be treated this way.

As a long time area local, I am so shocked that I have never entered this Bakery until today. What…read moreI experienced was stellar customer service with enthusiasm and kindness that is unmatched. With dessert recommendations that were superb. I ended up getting the Tres leches and it was impeccable. I can definitely see why this is a local fan favorite and should continue to be! The interior was beautiful and clean; definitely a new found favorite and hidden gem.

Tres I saw this place on instagram from an influencer and decided to try it. I love tres leches so…read moreI was excited. I parked across the street from the establishment but it seems like parking can be tricky to find. The place was nicely decorated and staff was friendly. I ordered a bbq chicken wrap with fries, a lava cake, cheese cake, tres leches, and a dulce de leche cake. Now I hate when an influencer hypes things up on social media and it disappoints. The bbq wrap wasnt good, the fries were soggy and half cooked. All the cakes were very dry, the tres leches had a crumbly texture, and the only good thing was the cheesecake.

Unfortunately, Nikita bakes to order and I had no way of tasting it before hand, but anyhow went for it. It was a fresh cream and chocolate cake, which was right amount of sweetness and quite soft. I drove from Secaucus to Edison and the cake stayed well. We ordered 2 days ago, which was more than enough time. So chocolate cake here definitely gets my thumbs up! Hope to try more varieties here
