NOW this is what you call a good ass bake shop. Walked in to three friendly regular patrons and owner. Smelled heavenly in here. We asked about all the flavors and ingredients (due to certain allergies). Good to know that everything on display could be eaten. Presentation of the baked goods were on point. It felt good speaking with everyone and what their favorites are. Shared a few stories and felt like a family atmosphere. We began talking about how i love oatmeal cookies; but with no raIsins. To my surprise, I was presented with an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie ; lord have mercy was it so so good. Gooey, fresh, flavorful just right. I had to get some to take home for the Netflix binge. The chocolate chip cookie also was awesome. Semi-sweet with a hint of goodness. You can tell that love and time go into these treats. The cupcakes are off the chain too. Moist, good frosting, right size. You can tell that they were madE from scratch and don't have the boxed taste like some other bakeries. That makes all the difference. Quality to me is Job #1 and this place has it. The carrot is also good and i normally don't eat it, but this one is irresistibly good!! Lastly got a good cup of coffee, steamed milk, great beans. Better than many of these other places. Overall, they have some goodies for everyone. This will be my new go to for my sweet-tooth!! read more

back in 2011 I heard about Willow & Olivia from Elvis Duran and the Morning show on Z100 here in NYC, for the longest time I followed them, ordered cake pops, truffles, cakes, you name it, I ordered it. Now 7 years later they finally opened their brick and mortar location. OH. MY. GOD. where have you been all my life? crumb cake, blueberry crumb cake, black and white cookies, cupcakes, croissants, danishes, raspberry bars, its pastry and baked goods NIRVANA! When I tell you I bought one to two of everything I kid you not. I literally bought out the last two crumb cakes and the person behind me groaned in agony! Sorry lady! you snooze you loose! they say a little magic in every bite? More like a little bit of heaven or is that fairy dust (not that naughty stuff!) either way this stuff is AMAZING! Crumb cake, so moist and delicious, makes a mess everywhere (the only way to eat crumb cake) the raspberry almond bar? you can taste the amount of care and dedication that went into making that bar. The espresso? Top Shelf baby. I could spend a lazy afternoon in here getting my sugar high on. seating is adequate for parties and the bathroom is baby friendly!! changing table and all! street parking is available and they take plastic (Square) Can not wait to come back and buy them out again!! Met the owner and she's probably one of the sweetest kind hearted people I know. I always love supporting small family businesses. This place is run with love and passion. The attention to detail in the fairy village, the fixtures, the pillows with the name on them, everything. I can't express how much I love this place! I made the trek all the way from Southern Brooklyn to West Orange just to grab some of these amazing pastries and let me tell you. WELL WORTH IT! read more

I was feening cake. So I yelped a bakery and with all of the great reviews I decided to drive 20 mins away from my house to try this place out. I ordered two cupcakes and a brookie. The chocolate cupcake was so moist and mmmmm. It did however have an overwhelming amount of frosting on it that I just tossed. I'm not really a frosting fan. But the cake itself was really good. I have to try to vanilla cake today and update my review. The brookie I thought was just alright. It was kind of hard so I microwaved it. It's ok. But I would definitely go there for the cake. Mmm mm mm read more

Rich, decadently sweet baked goods. I sampled the scone and devil's food cupcake. Both were buttery rich and amazing. Cappuccino was perfect I will be back. Also got some hot chocolate bombs as gifts. Worth a ride to downtown WO. Nicely decorated too! Please give this place a try! read more

Willow and Olivia a sweet journey The most whimsical boutique bakery! This gem is nestled in the Tory corner section of West Orange New Jersey. As you open the door you are greeted with the scent of baking spices and a feeling of comfort. The decor is a lively fairy theme. The offerings were definitely dreamy. There were huge fluffy cinnamon buns with just enough sparkly glazed to catch your eye. There was ever so moist and delicious crumb cake. I had to ask what was the secret ingredient, the reply was french butter. Yup that will do it every time. There were delicate and dainty red velvet cupcakes, and other stuffed cupcake flavors; dolce de leche, Nutella, Oreo cookie, double chocolate you name it they make it. Next up where the perfectly crumbled blueberry lemon bars and show stopping Snickers Cake oh and I can't forget the delicious signature brownies. Just when this fantastical sugar ride was over... Then came the cookies!!! Gluten free chocolate chip with the perfect chip to cookie ratio, also a stuffed Nutella fluff cookie As I quietly sat there enjoying the most luscious dirty mocha latte I got the sense that the omnipresent celestial fairies Willow and Olivia we're wishing me the best day ever and wanted me to come back soon. read more

Food is great. The care put into the baking, you can almost taste it. It's nice to not only support a local business, but support a good one that deserves to be supported Some of Our other local establishments should care as much about the product they put out and the community like Willow and Olivia does No marketing. No tricks. No tudes Just great baked goods with a smile Go back often. And try 1 of everything read more

Nope, sold me stale cookies. They could have said "fresh baked will be ready in a few minutes" instead they ran in the back, got old cookies and SOLD them to me as if I wouldn't notice when I encounter a stale product. When will businesses learn that customers do care about the product and service they receive? W&O just lost a repeat customer. read more

Very small shop. I had expected more options (I guess I was thinking it would be like the other bakery's around). I got the cookie and cream cupcake and the dulce de leche cup cake. I have to admit I felt they were a little pricy for a small cupcake (again, not like the other bakery's around town that I'm use to). HOWEVER, they were REALLY REALLY good, which was a very good surprise. Very moisture and delicious. I don't see myself coming often, because again a little pricy for a small cupcake. But I will be returning to try other items, perhaps my son's birthday cake. read more

My wife found this bakery earlier this year and I am glad she did. Not only is the food amazing, but the prices are fair and the owner is very friendly and is hands-on with her business and provides excellent customer service. I'm attaching a photo of a cake we brought my dad for Father's Day this year and you can see from the picture the quality. But it didn't just look great. Even my picky parents were amazed at how great the cake tasted. And not just the cake itself, but the house made donuts were also phenomenal. I honestly don't support local businesses enough, but this place is changing my perception of what they can offer. read more

Willow and Olivia is a new bakery on Main Street in West Orange. They have small batch cupcakes, cookies, and macaroons. Coffee and lattes are also available. During their soft opening, Jarrett held a pop up bagel shop that offered speciality spreads, including multiple varieties of homemade cream cheeses and an avocado vegetable mash. There was a continuous line down the block for bagels until they (unfortunately) sold out, so I'd call it a success! read more

I LOVE Willow and Olivia. Crumb cake is really, really good. I normally only care about the top of a crumb cake, but this is perfection, crumbs AND cake! I also got a cake for a baby shower. Beautifully decorated, and most importantly tasted delicious! Our guests raved about it. I ordered the special lactation cookies for my wife and she loved them. Did they help with lactation? I can't verify that. Were the delicious? Absolutely. For special occasions or just an iced coffee and a cookie, Willow and Olivia always delivers! read more

Walked in here with my busy toddler fearing a snobby or hipster vibe but man was I wrong! The owner was my best friend by the time I left. The scone I ordered was delicious. Since then I've gone back for a few brownies, all amazing (the raspberry square thing was the best!) and ordered my mothers birthday cake. This place is in a rapidly changing neighborhood, and I hope they can survive this COVID stuff. I want to try more goods! read more

Supporting small business is one of the best ways to give back to the community. Here at Willow and Olivia, a café and bakery with excellent customer service, everything is so incredibly delicious that I only feel it's right to give them my money! Thank you for the delicious coffee and treats, I'll of course be back soon. -Flat White Guy read more

This bakery is outstanding. Great place to pop in for a delicious coffee and a sweet treat. Some of my favorites are the blueberry crumb cake and the banana pudding! The photo is from a cake Giana created for my parent's 60th anniversary. Everyone at the party raved about it! Truly one of the best cakes I've ever had, which says a lot because I am generally not a cake person. Highly recommend this wonderful little shop. Worth the trip! read more

This place is an absolute gem! Had the new Mango Madness Magic drink and it was so tasty and refreshing. The tres leches cake was perfectly delicious and smooth. I also had 1 of the chocolate raspberry magic cupcakes and it was yummy!!! Can't wait to go back because I heard the banana pudding is heavenly but they were sold out by the time I got there. Next time I know to order it on their website and just pick it up before all the goodies sell out. I would definitely recommend 10/10!!! read more

What an amazing little gem in West Orange. Really beautiful atmosphere and the customer service is exceptional. Their motto is "a little magic in every bite". How true it is! Delicious desserts! It is really hard to choose once you get there and see the options. But I showed some restraint and did not buy one of everything. I did try the coffee cake which was hands down the BEST I have ever had. I was almost upset by this, thinking about how I will not be able to resist it in the future. My friend had the chocolate croissant and she loved it. Couldn't help but also buy some cupcakes for the family and they were in heaven. They also have great coffee lover options. I had a coconut milk latte. Really great that they have non-dairy options and alternative sugar options like stevia. Definitely, highly, absolutely recommend this place! read more

WORST CAKE EVER. We were mesmerized by the pictures on their website and decided to order from them and it was not good at all. It was for our one year olds birthday. We were offered cake for $45 and design with unicorn it was $70. After talking to my husband we decided to go for the $70 one. Long story short when the time came for our daughter to smash the cake she could barely scratch the surface. We had the cake in the fridge as we were told to do so; we kept the cake room temperature for couple hours and still nothing as it was HARD AS A ROCK. When we investigated the cake by cutting a slice we found out that the materials it was baked with were super cheap. The icing was cheap and the $25 extra we paid for unicorn was a fake unicorn that you can buy at a dollar store for $1- we assumed that it would have been made out of the icing..... Now we called the owner to explain this and said that we will be writing a bad review----- any reasonable business person and OWNER would say I am Sorry- what can I do to make it right.... HER RESPONSE- ARE YOU THREATENING ME??? I WILL TAKE YOUR BAD REVIEW DOWN from every WEBSITE just like I did other ones--/- HER EXACT WORDS......... I am shocked...... not sure what else to write ,,,,,, see the pictures and you decide and please post a comment and tell me if I am wrong here read more

The cupcakes here are like a visit to childhood bite by bite. I bought a dozen including red velvets, cookies n creme, chocolate and they rocked. The ingredients are fresh and not overly sweet. Makes for a great Seder or Good Friday meal. read more

This is the most adorable shop inside and out. The storefront adds life to downtown West Orange. The baked good are out of this world. I consider myself to be a chocolate chip cookie aficionado and they make by far the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful. I absolutely love this place and would recommend everyone to try it. read more

After reading the reviews, I came here with my mom and niece and bought 4 cupcakes: 2 vanilla, 1 dolce and 1 chocolate. I also bought a crumb cake for my mom. My mom said the cake was very good and tasty. My niece loved her vanilla cupcakes and my chocolate cupcake was very good as well. The customer service was satisfactory and I got a parking spot right in front of the bakery (I think I was lucky). The bakery is also spotless and beautifully decorated with limited seating. I'll be back to try other sweets in the near future. read more

A trip to Willow and Olivia is one of my sons' favorite activities. They love going there and picking out a treat from cup cakes to cookies to brownies. We enjoy the warm ambience and the customer service is fantastic. Oh and they love the haunted eyeball doorbell at the register. It's great to walk in and everyone remembers you from the last visit. Looking forward to many more visits to come. read more

Their customer service is just awesome! I ordered cake pops on a Sunday and absolutely needed them by the next weekend, so I emailed the store to ask for an estimate for shipping time. They were extremely helpful.. they even hand delivered the cake pops to ensure they wouldn't melt in transit and would arrive on time. They are quite possibly the best customer service experience I've had in a long time :) Oh, and the cake pops are absolutely amazing! I will definitely order again. read more

Best treats in West Orange!!!! I should know because I travel for these sweet desserts! Love my banana pudding.

Everything tastes good & the owner is super friendly. Love this desert spot. The chocolate cup cake boommmm!!! Bread pudding boommmm!!!

First, let me start off by saying Willow & Olivia were so prompt with getting back to me on my initial inquiry. Second, they were extremely accommodating with all of my requests. They asked questions regarding my preferences that I forgot to mention; this ensured they gave me exactly what I was looking for. Third, when picking up the cake, the place was so charming that it was such a lovely place to grab dessert and coffee; I had to grab a cupcake and it was delicious. Fourth, the cake was a huge hit at the party; it was absolutely beautiful and matched the picture I asked for PERFECTLY. The fondant tasted delicious, like a marshmallow. The cake was so *moist* and mouthwatering. I will definitely use them for my next event. I was so happy with the results and the customer service. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Omg! They were so good. We had 30 of them shipped to my office in random flavors. I must say, they were moist and even though I am not a fan of white chocolate, whatever your recipe is - ROCKS. The Southern Comfort Balls were a big hit. Will need to order double of that next time. Will post up the pics before all of them are gone. I'm so done with cupcakes. The balls have it. read more

Got a great cappuccino, excellent macarons at a great price (2 for $1.50) I tried a black&white cupcake and a red velvet cupcake, both had moist and delicious cake and flavorful frostings. Also got a maple pecan roll, which was very flaky and delicious as well. The only thing I have any criticism of would be that the croissant I got would have been better warmed up. I'm not sure if that's an option as I didnt ask for it, but other than that everything was great. read more

Great experience with Willow and Olivia. Ordered cake pop centerpieces for a bridal shower, and centerpieces were delivered to my apt by nice staff member. Throughout the ordering process all questions were answered promptly and professionally. Best way to communicate with company was through email but person available by phone as well. Now to the good stuff, taste.... Yum!! Ordered choc&vanilla but only had chance to try chocolate. It was delicious! Decadent and rich but not overly sweet. Price was definitely reasonable given the pops were used as decor and favors. All in all great experience! read more

Incredible products from an incredible woman. Their dulce du leche cupcakes are absolutely to die for, and Gia is an amazing business owner. If you are looking to support local, definitely check Willow and Olivia out. The storefront is beautiful, and she sets up small galleries on her walls to help support local artists. All around an amazing place. The negative reviewers honestly must be off their rocker-- I can't possibly see any reason to dislike this place. read more

Randomly walked in with my kids and got a few cupcakes, cookies and crumb cakes. My kids wouldn't even wait until we got home and devoured their cupcakes, and I ate the chocolate chip cookie.
