Although the bakery is on the pricey end I would say it's worth it because the serving sizes are huge! It's super cute inside and the service is super fast, I would just would recommend brining the pastries home since there's only like 3 tables to sit. My favorite is the lox croissant especially for a quick breakfast run. Since the croissants here are super fresh and flaky but still are light and feathery. Also would recommend the chocolate chip cookie as it's super crispy but gooey in the inside.

If I ever stop by again im definitely getting those madeleines one more time!

Menu has an array of teas and assorted drinks. Service was very friendly and helpful. Since I was too full from eating at Shan Shan prior, just picked up 1 taro and 1 red bean bun. They were larger than the average Asian bakery bun. The interior was very dense, moist and full of rich filling. Both the red bean and taro were not too sweet and equally delicious. Will need to try other items next time.

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.

I've been ordering from Calandra's Bakery for 29 years, and it truly saddens me to say that the…read morequality and customer service have gone downhill. I placed a cake order a week before my birthday photoshoot and provided a clear reference photo plus detailed instructions to the baker, Elizabeth, over phone and text. I even came in person to pay a $20 deposit because I wasn't comfortable giving my card over the phone. What I requested was simple: A white, heart-shaped cake with pearls, curtain detailing, black bows, and elegant black cursive writing that said "Chapter 30." Unfortunately, what I received looked nothing like what I asked for. * Photo 1: What I asked for * Photo 2: First attempt -- extremely disappointing * Photo 3: Second attempt -- still not what I asked for When I came to pick up the cake, I was visibly disappointed. The tall male supervisor apologized and told me, "I'll see if we can fix it. Please come back in the morning." I explained how inconvenient it was to come three separate times for one cake: once for the deposit, once for pickup, and again because of their poor quality. He assured me that the supervisor, Corrine, would call me the next morning about the revision and compensation for the inconvenience. That call never came. On the morning of my photoshoot, I had to call THEM to find out if the cake had even been fixed. Corrine sent a photo of the revised cake, and it still looked unprofessional. She said I would receive a refund if I remained unhappy -- yet I never received my apology, and I still never received my $20 refund. I'm sharing this review so others are aware. This bakery used to represent quality, but clearly that standard no longer exists. After showing the photos to friends and family, several revealed they've had similar disappointing experiences recently as well. The most embarrassing part? My mother named me after this bakery because of its reputation and legacy in Newark. After this experience, that association feels more embarrassing than meaningful. Calandra's bakery, do better. Your long-time loyal customers deserve far more respect and care than this.

Everything was great, but the tart was my favorite , perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. While we were ordering our sweets to go, I also got a Turkish coffee to enjoy inside. It was first served in a small paper cup, probably a simple misunderstanding, and I sounded a bit disappointed. The owner immediately made a fresh one and brought it in a proper cup. It was excellent, rich, strong, and full of flavor. Great pastries, great coffee, and truly caring service. Highly recommend this place!

It looks like everything is made in-house, and we especially appreciated that their bread is sourdough. They offer a great variety of breads and baked goods. We kept it simple and tried a gluten-free hazelnut chocolate cake, a chocolate mousse, a chocolate chip cookie, and a latte that came with a small espresso cookie on the side. The service was outstanding, and everything we had was delicious. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items.

Staff is really rude and by 1:30pn on the weekend they'd sold out of cakes and the cashier was really rude when we asked him if there were any more in the back. There is no point in expanding out to the East Coast if your not going to maintain the quality of the experience. I used to go to the Carson CA or the Gardena CA location on many a late night and they were always fully stocked all the way up until closing. On a previous visit I was disappointed to her one of the staff exclaim LAME! when one of her coworkers brought new bread out with the classic Fresh Bread! that I've come to know from 85 degrees. Subpar experience overall and I can't see this location staying open long term. As it is I won't bother coming back because it doesn't seem like they are selling out because they are busy. Coffee is soso also compared to their other locations.
