First the cake was good everyone agreed BUT the BIG disappointment & shock was NO FLOWERS on the cake!!! How do you have a birthday cake & no cake flowers?? It was just plain white buttercream that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY nothing else. I didn't know that when ordering a birthday cake you need to specify that you want cake flowers on it. I've ordered plenty of cakes & never had a problem with that from other bakeries. This is the 2nd time I've ordered a cake from here & had a problem. Again it tasted good but something so simple made a difference.

My daughter sent several photos and was quite surprised when they made some in every design. They even made some gluten free. They were absolutely delicious and quite the hit. Everyone was asking where we got them. Veriella's! I highly recommend this amazing bakery. The bake goods are delicious and the owners are delightful and accommodating.

The…read moreItalian deli might be the greatest culinary show on this planet--a wonderland of sights, sounds, and especially smells. Located in a highly industrial area of South Hackensack, and right off of Route 80 is a brick oven bakery called Clemente producing a huge selection of bread, including homemade pizza, focaccia Barese, "sausage bread," zeppole, taralli, biscuits, and friselle Clementini (they're a big wholesaler). The shop also has a ton of prepared food servicing the many office and blue-collar workers in the area; it's an excellent place to have a sandwich made for one. Upon entering as regulars to this local favorite establishment, my partner and I decided on Chicken Cutlet with fresh mozzarella cheese and roasted peppers on a toasted wheat wrap as well as Chicken Salad on a sun-dried tomato wrap for indoor dining. They are not cheap, but one gets what one pays for in terms of taste, freshness, and authenticity. The portions were a healthy size for another meal. We always walk out with a smile and a satisfied stomach.

I've heard so many great things about Erie and finally got to try it! We stopped in after having…read morebrunch nearby. There was a short line but it was moving along quickly. The shop is small with limited places to hang out -- there's a small counter where you can stand and sip your coffee. Otherwise, they have a few small tables outside. There's a second room which has cute merch and a fridge with additional cold beverages for sale. I tried the vanilla latte and took home some treats! The spinach handpie - basically a spinach/cheese breakfast pastry, the cinnamon roll (to die for!! It was fluffy and sweet but not overly sweet like other places are), and a pumpkin cheesecake bar with pomegranate seeds. What I really like about Erie is that they make all these delicious treats and once they are sold out, they're sold out. They don't make more for the rest of the day and they don't waste food. It's always fresh!

Our area has no shortage of bakeries but those of us that have sampled a number of them realize, there are truly ones that stand out from the rest. Erie Coffee Shop & Bakery is one of those bakeries! Cute old school bake shop. Really nice and professional staff. I went in trying to be "good" and not some out with a lot. Easier said than done in this bake shop. Everything looks amazing! I asked for recommendations and left with the citrus olive oil cake, chocolate chip cookie, almond cookie, and a Madeleine. Within a couple of hours, I devoured the citrus olive oil cake. Absolutely perfect! Hint of citrus and just the right amount of moist. Also, the perfect size to feel fulfilled without feeling overly guilty. Later that night, I went for the almond cookie. Amazing texture, truly better than any almond horn I've had. The next day, I broke a piece off of the chocolate chip cookie that we got for our daughter. Perfect cookie. Then I reached for the madeleine, better than any literary device I've ever had! Transported me to my couch, where I speechlessly consumed it with some tea! Awesome! I'll be back!

Well there is a row of street parking infront and across the street, but they're usually full and with a baby I was being very selective as to which spot I'll accept before venturing in. Luckily, the third time I passed, a spot opened up right in front. They had run out of baklava by 4pm that Thursday, I got a pistachio ball and cream puff instead. The pistachio ball was a little dry (I think it's suppose to be?) It wasn't for me. The cream puff on the other hand was delicious! The shell was nice and a little crispy and the cream had the perfect consistency, just gooey enough. It's not overly creamy/fluffy, it's a little more custardy side which I liked.

Called this shop and even though they sounded super busy and they had just sold their last one the lady on the phone told me to give her an hour and a half and she would make me the pie.

Bought an additional treat and went home to enjoy the tasty cherry pie for our New Year's Eve party. Can't thank them enough for making our dad's only request possible.

My initial thought was that there were not many German style pastries/food like I imagined there might be (cannolis were the 1st item I saw when entering). I chose a blueberry scone to share (the price was steep at $4.50 - it would have been $1 more if I would have paid with a credit card). I the scone was slightly burnt underneath and lacked any real flavor, even the blueberries oddly had almost no flavor. I was excited to visit a German bakery but was left a little underwhelmed.

Whenever I'm in the area I will stop here.

As an Italian American, I truly appreciate their fresh cannolis filled to order--a creamy dream come true.

The staff were incredibly friendly, adding to the experience. If you're in need of a little pastry therapy, this is the spot. Remember, a balanced diet is having a pastry in each hand.
