    We made a quick trip to this store to grab some bakery items. The store is pretty big with couple of tables available to dine in at the store. It was relatively clean. There were limited number of products, probably due to Easter Sunday. We saw different kinds of bread items, some single slice cakes and few Easter special pastries. We picked a couple of buns to go. The price was fair. The lady at the register was friendly and helped us to checkout quickly.

    A small bakery at Parsippany NJ. It's located inside a mini Asian plaza. Limited selection of breads, decoration cakes for birthdays. It also has drink menu. I decided to purchased a soboro just to try. It tasted ok. Nothing special. They should have baked it a little longer because the color on the bread was really light(?). The staff member was nice. Price was reasonable. Some tables inside if you would like to sit and enjoy the snack and drink.

    Granted, I've only been here once, but right now I'm wavering on a lot for this review. I absolutely love Shan Shan Noodles so I had high hopes for their dessert place, and maybe I oversold myself on that. First of all, don't touch! I was poking the plastic-wrapped pastries to see what was soft, turning them over to see what ingredients, and was told to use the tongs. Really, I need tongs for an already wrapped pastry? But I don't want to intrude on their cleanliness, so I include this here as a note that you will need to mind the same! (It's a very clean looking place. It fits the vibe.) More than the prompt if abrupt conversation, the food hasn't convinced me yet. The storekeep vouched it's all made there, and I buy it. Chinese desserts are not intended to be as sweet as Western, and that is definitely the case here. The sweetest was the one I got as a non-dessert! The shredded pork cream roll, the cream really made it sweet, overtaking the salty shredded meat on top (which is so cool to see). The red bean and black sesame rolls were hard to place as dessert vs. appetizer, and I acknowledge that's just me. The date squares were interesting but a little less than I hoped - a little too puffy, a piece of date or two inside but it should be many pieces or no pieces IMO to avoid setting expectations. Plus one bite had a really weird bitter taste for some reason. This review could go up or down. Next time I Shan Shan, I will Sweet Shan along with it and pick up some more items to nail down my thoughts.

    Blueberry Coconut Cake

    I was craving bubble tea and sweets but did not want to try all the way to Bergen County. When I searched I found the spot, which I didn't know opened up so close to me. My brother and I checked it out and I'm so happy we did. We went a little too happy when we went. We got the blueberry coconut cake, black sesame roll, matcha cookies, coconut cream bread, matcha cake roll plus matcha bubble tea and the bubble tea with pudding. We shared with other family members because we were so excited there's a place so close to home. The cakes were so moist and fluffy. They were the perfect texture. The best part, the bubble tea is honestly the best bubble tea in the morris county area. No need to drive to bergen anymore when there's a spot right here. The boba was the perfect chew and the one with pudding, it was very refreshing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    So happy there is an Asian bakery in the area with freshly made pastries and baked goods. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and they had a promotion where you buy 6 items and get one free. We got the: -red bean bun - taro bun - coconut twist pastry - egg tarts - blueberry sponge cake slice - mango mousse cake slice - hot dog pastry The pastries were fresh, delicious and not overly sweet. All items were individually packed in the behind the self serve windows. We also purchased a taro bubble tea and classic bubble tea. The kids enjoyed the drinks.

    Blueberry coconut cake. So light and fluffy and delicious!

    This place is fantastic! The interior is very clean and there's a lot of fantastic pastries to buy at a very reasonable price! I opted for the blueberry coconut cake and the Napoleon (after great debate.. Everything looks delicious!) and what I got was FANTASTIC. The blueberry cake was so fluffy and light, the perfect amount of moisture and the sweet blueberry topping and layers were an excellent fresh flavor. The napoleon is probably the best Napoleon I've ever had?! For one, it was MASSIVE. Like, easily feed 4 people off of one dessert. Then, this thing is CRUNCHY. So many times I've had Napoleons that are soggy and hard to cut through because how soggy the flaky layers got. This thing was INCREDIBLY flakey and crispy! Even after hours! Even the next day! Not only that but as an added bonus, the creme in the middle actually had walnuts in it. Definitely not a typical addition to a Napoleon, but very good! The crunchy nutty flavor went really well with the lightly sweet cream and the flakey layers. The pastries are also VERY reasonably priced. Most things are in the $3-5 dollar range and very large for the price. Not to mention the QUALITY! Seriously, there were so many other treats here that caught my eye that I had to stop myself from getting, but I definitely want to come back and try it all. But also I'd even go back just to get that Napoleon again!

    Blueberry Coconut Cake

    Came here after dinner looking for a nice asian dessert. This review is just for the coconut blueberry cake. The cake itself was nice, light and spongy. However, the coconut flakes were a little overpowering and the cake was pretty tasteless, so I felt like I was eating a grainy sponge that was slightly sweet. Overall, not something I really feel the need to try again.

    So happy there's now a bubble tea spot in Parsippany. I live pretty close by so I've been able to drop by a couple times now. While I haven't gotten a chance to try any of the baked goods, I vouch for the bubble tea. I've tried taro, brown sugar, regular, coffee, and matcha. The brown sugar was obscenely sweet. My teeth actually hurt trying to write this review, but every other flavor wasn't too sweet which I can appreciate.

On display in their numerous cases, there were cookies to cannolis, an assortment of cookies, pies, cakes, custom cakes, jarred sauces, and homemade pasta. I decided on a coconut custard pie, a pecan pie, and several pasteis de nata. Everything was so good and simply amazing, with a variety of freshly baked goods that cater to all tastes, especially the pasteis, just how the bakeries in Newark's Ironbound district make them. Will definitely be returning here for the next event.

Light, fluffy, not too sweet, with a messy but delicious showering of powdered sugar. I would definitely stop by for their fresh, fluffy beignets to be eaten fresh because they make them fresh with every order! Just for their amazing beignets, it should be 5 stars. My friend also got a chai latte, which my friend actually really liked. She said it was one of the best she's ever had. I tried and it was really good, just super sweet. Taste-wise though - delicious! BUT I gave 4 stars because when I went, they were out of the other things I wanted and it wasn't clearly advertised so the poor girl helping me had to keep telling me sad news, one after another. I wish there was a sign stating if something was unavailable or they should've put away displays if items were not available. My friend wanted gelato because there was a picture of it displayed, but they said they didn't have that. Is it only a summer thing? Were they not serving gelato just for that day? I don't know, it was just unavailable. They really should not mislead customers by displaying the picture of the pretty gelato (the picture looked really good!). This also meant that I couldn't get the affogato because they weren't serving gelato. Again, the menu didn't clearly state they were not serving that drink. I also stopped by here specifically because I saw an Instagram post that their hot cocoa was one of the best. The "toasted" one was the one I wanted, but it was not available because they didn't have the marshmallow. Again, that one wasn't covered with a sign that it was unavailable. I ended up getting a drink somewhere else. Also, when we wanted a receipt, the girl helping us said it wasn't working. So it was just a bad timing that day. Poor girl was super nice as she delivered rejections, but I was still constantly disappointed. Again, if I'm ever in the area, I would definitely be back for their beignets and hopefully that next time, the menus will be more clear about what they have and don't have. Things to know before you go: -They have a lot of different donut flavors and fillings, which I didn't try. But make sure to prepare enough time to wait for them to be made fresh and depending on how busy they are at the time you go. It looks like it's worth the wait because so many people got several donuts. -There were about four 2-person tables and one table for 4-5 people and a couch for 2 people to sit snugly. So, not the best place for big groups.
