50 Best Bakeries near Garwood

“They're a hit or miss with produce. Not a large selection, if any, depending on when you go. Their bakery section is outstanding. You can buy anything in there, from a grill, to toys, to flowers. They're great for when you're in the middle of cooking and realize you ran out of butter. The store is clean and the employees are very attentive.“

“This review is a bit overdue, but &grain is the best! We had placed a catering order for our store last week and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. We wanted to do a staff lunch for ourselves, but weren't entirely sure what the best approach would be, so I spoke with John and he suggested a few items that were their most popular, which made it so easy.We got the Chipotle Chicken sandwich, Ham & Brie sandwich, Prime Rib sandwich, and the ABLT sandwich-- all of which were incredible. We also ordered an Apple Salad that was otherworldly. The blend of flavors and textures was sublime and we made short work of it.The star of the show, however, was the crookie. Half chocolate chip cookie, half croissant= all delicious. I don't think I can adequately put into words how incredibly tasty it was, especially when heated a bit.Looking for a biz lunch that will satisfy? Look no further than &grain.“

“This was first time and I had a wonderful experience! The service was great, the food came out quickly and hot. The food was tasted fantastic and was seasoned well. Looking forward to coming back! Julian was our server and he gave wonderful service!Parking: N/a“

“This place is amazing - not only did they go above and beyond to help me support a dear friend in her time of need and without hesitation, and were so kind and professional, but my friend told me that the food was so delicious, it was presented so beautifully, and everyone ate and enjoyed all of it. A truly incredible place, with incredible food, and a heart/soul to match. Thank you! And a special THANK YOU to Dee for all of the above! (And, if you couldn't tell, I cannot recommend it enough.)“

“So happy we reached out to Ridhima for our daughter’s hunger games -Mocking Jay theme birthday party. The cake was delicious to eat and gorgeous. Pictures don’t do it justice. Ridhima is very easy to work with and v patient. Highly recommend Sweet Kneads!“

“I ordered catering for my birthday event last weekend and the food was amazing! I’ve been a true fan of this restaurant ever since I’ve moved up to Bloomfield a few years ago and I always bring my friends and family to this restaurant. Whether it’s Brunch or dinner, the food never disappoints! Hence why I thought it was a good idea to ask for them to cater for my bday! Anthony and his team were very accommodating and brought out the rest of trays as the previous ones started emptying out which I greatly appreciated due to the lack of space we were given at the venue. We ordered the chicken empanadas, beef empanadas, broccoli rabe, mixed greens salad, Mac and cheese, chicken parm, eggplant parm, pasta vodka, meatballs and potato croquettes. All dishes were excellent and everyone was excited to pack the leftovers home as well! I also ordered catering from here back in February for my galentines party and the food was also a success during that time. I know I can count on them for providing exemplary food as well as service. Thank you, Anthony and his team for making my birthday memorable!“

“My wife and I stopped in and picked up some desserts. They had a lot of variety, and everything seemed so fresh. Everyone was very helpful. The croissants were great and crispy. The carrot cake was also one of the better ones I've had. Overall, it's a great place for dessert, and I highly recommend it.“

“Great bakery and coffee shop! The place is neat and well maintained, The birthday cake I ordered was so good and beautifully decorated, the cupcakes , cake pops, empanadas , quipes so yummy , good food, absolutely love it! I’ll definitely recommend it.“

“We ordered a Rasmalai cake for our Sons 18 Birthday and we were pleasantly surprised with the cake. It looked beautiful and everyone was excited. The bigger surprise came when we ate it, it was moist, soft and perfect amount of sugar. It was not too sweet which is major concern we have with many cakes in past. Flavors were good but not overpowering or dominating. Perfectly balanced cake that everyone loved.Thanks once again for this beautiful and tasty cake and we will certainly order this cake again.“

“I have been going here for over a decade and still enjoy the visits every time. Their service is great, portions are generous and the food leans more towards authentic Colombian cuisine. The food is excellent for reasonable prices. Always worth the stop! Our server is usually Liliana, she’s very charismatic and attends very well.“

“Everything is delicious and the owners and people working there are so nice. We frequently go and sit there as it has a great atmosphere. We also placed a large order for a party and the owner himself delivered an item we forgot at pick up. Amazing food and coffee and even more amazing service!“

“Omg. I visited here for a late afternoon iced latte and I am so glad I did.The place is cuh-uteeeee, pastel colors. They serve guests their coffee/cappuccino drinks with the cutest little trays and glass jars.Oh and I had the MOST DELICIOUS cookie.. It's called Captain Crunch Cookie. ?.The staff is attentive and made us feel welcomed the moment we walked in.I'm definitely coming back!!!“

“Love this place! Their lattes are so creative and delicious (cardamom, cloves, rose hips.. so many infusions/flavors). Donuts are also awesome and the staff are helpful. I passed this place for years and never went inside.. (mistake!) now I go all the time. Have to say, their name/sign don’t let on to how to how creative their menu and drinks are.“

“Staff was very friendly, chill atmosphere. Everything we had was delicious; chopped salad w/chick pea tuna salad, turkey sandwich, potato salad, cookie dough bite. Definitely get the iced mint lime ginger tea or the hibiscus tea.Be sure to scan the QR code for the full menu with expanded descriptions and additional items.Vegetarian options: All vegan“

“The first time I stepped into the cafe was about a year ago. My daughter invited me. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from vegan desserts. But somehow that evening, we devoured six pastries.?Let me tell you, they were delicious! And for a year now, I've been coming to this place to buy desserts for myself and my family.I don't know how to explain it, but I just don't crave traditional baking anymore.?I want to mention the atmosphere of the cafe separately. The beautiful interior and pleasant music always create a nice ambiance, but here it's especially cozy because every customer is greeted like a dear guest.“

“Victoria’s presentation was very informative. Her cake was very tasty. I love the frosting and the different flavors that she incorporated into it. I love the way she prepared it. I learned a lot of new tips and tricks about piping and the correct way and how to do it. It was overall a great experience.10/10 would recommend.“

“I try to visit this place anytime I am in New Jersey. NYC quality bakery in NJ. That’s pretty hard to find in my experience. The price is right for how high quality everything is. Staff is always friendly, the place is always clean, and in the new location at Artie’s it was fun to see the place go from breakfast to lunch service and not feel rushed out. I’ll be back, I always am.“

“I discovered Love JoJo’s cookies at 90s con in CT last weekend. I bought a half dozen. French toast, caramel kiss, peanut butter cup, chocolate chip, m&m, brookie. They were ALL amazing and my fiancé is a fan of them too. They have that homemade taste which I love! Definitely recommend!“

“Thank you to the man at this location who helped my husband make my birthday extra special! His enthusiasm and care putting together a box of cinnamon rolls for us to enjoy was the first thing my husband mentioned when we opened up this birthday treat to enjoy. Great customer service and experience at this location - definitely come here if you're in the mood for Cinnabon!“

“Cannot recommend this place enough! I have been a vegan for over 8 years and live for baked goods. When I went I ordered the sausage egg and cheese biscuit, the flavors were great it was hot and the cheese was perfectly melty with a to die for biscuit. As my sweet I ordered the cannoli and on the first bite I wanted to cry. The shell was perfectly flaky and crisp, with a creamy, fluffy, and a bit tangy (in the best way possible) filling. The workers despite it being very busy inside were so kind and sweet! My only complaint is to my self and that I don't live closer!! The next time I'm in the area I will definitely be stopping in.“

“Azucar is a really nice place. I love how everything is well organized and the employees are really nice and welcoming. Their food is so good and delicious, I love how the tables are all organized and there is space in the middle. I would definitely recommend going to Azucar 5/5 stars.“

“I needed a birthday cake or a kosher cake and they accommodate me the same day with a delicious round chocolate babka,and they deliver it to me all the way to roselle excellent service I highly recommend ?Dietary restrictions: My friend does not eat pork of any kind we need kosher for him.

“We had a private dinner experience for my husband’s birthday. The food was delicious and it felt like we were having a big dinner party at home - the atmosphere was perfect and our guests loved it. Laura and her staff were amazing. I cannot recommend Farinolio enough!“

“Roxanne has been nothing but amazing. I have order three cakes from her and each time she did not disappoint. She responds quickly, she is able to execute the idea perfectly, not only does her cakes look amazing but they are as equally delicious.Roxanne thank you for your professionalism, cleanliness and delicious cakes.I would highly recommend her for all future events.“

“This is one of my mom's favorite places for coffee. Everything I've tried at Liv Breads is delicious. All the croissants are amazing, but the nutella croissant is ridiculously good. The sandwiches are all fresh, healthy, and satisfying. The coffee is excellent. I love the samples you can try as you wait in line. Had to purchase the cardamon bun after tasting the sample. It is a unique pastry I haven't seen elsewhere, and it is the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and crunchy. Going back soon to try the baguette which looks delicious.“

“I'm a regular customer and the cakes I get from them never disappoints! They're affordable compared to other bakeries around the area, and with a small household like ours we don't need a huge cake for celebrations. Their size and portions are just right for us. The weekend specials are such good deals so we always keep an eye on what they would be each month. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I'm pretty sure at this point they remember me considering how often I stop by lol.“

“Visited 2 times—first the bakery during a pit stop for some sweets, and then the restaurant the next Saturday evening for a big family dinner. Pablo and Octavio made our night a wonderful one! The majority of my in laws had not experienced Colombian cuisine/culture until this evening. From the authentic ingredients and aguardiente cocktails, to the lively entertainment we went home well fed and with great memories!“

“Dee's Cookies will single handedly achieve what my therapist has been trying to do for years - cheer me up.Dee's Cookies will also single handedly achieve what my grandma has been trying to do for years - fatten me up.Finally, gift giving has gotten so much easier - everyone gets a box of cookies for their birthday now, and it's always a hit.6 stars.“

“My favorite bakery! I've had cheesecakes, cookies, upside down pineapple cake, croissants, carrot cake, cream puffs and cupcakes from here.We ALWAYS order our cheesecakes from here for every occasion.Highly reccomend for your sweet tooth.“

“This is such a cute bakery! They have a perfect array of cookies, cupcakes, scones, and other goodies! I've tried the scones, royal frosted cookies, and now the lemon loaf (GF) and have loved them all. It does tend to be busy but the staff is friendly and moves you on through. There is limited outdoor seating nearby so plan to bring your goodies outside or to the car. Prices are not listed for pastries and it isn't cheap - but I say worth it!“

“Had brunch at the restaurant. Huge menu and everything we ordered was great. The breakfast dish that was a combination of a toasted cheesy arepa, grilled beef, and fried rice blew my mind. What’s not to love! We also ordered pork in pineapple sauce which was really unique and actually pretty good. Portions were huge and it was a good, heavy meal.“

“I was staying at the Motel 6 in Elizabeth and there isn't much for breakfast around here that isn't fast food. Roc's Cafe is incredible! I had the Miss Piggy and a coffee. The staff are also very pleasant. definitely worth stopping at if you are passing by or are in town!“

“I ordered my daughters 2nd birthday cake and we were so amazed! Did such a beautiful amazing job! Absolutely gorgeous cake, just like the photos I provided during consultation, amazingly yummy, just a show stopper! Everyone at the party kept saying how beautiful the cake looked and how delicious it tasted. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to order more cakes from you!“

“This spot is definitely a hidden gem.The location is conveniently located but the parking may be a bit difficult depending on what time you go.The service is wonderful! The young lady who served us was truly attentive & listened to all of our vegan needs. The food was amazing!! Fresh & super tasty!!We had the vegan sliders, waffle fries, vegan lo-mein, & the burrito grande. This location has portions down packed!! You get a great amount of food for what you pay for & quality taste. Our drinks were made to perfection!! Passion mint lemonade left me speechless!! Getting that every single time now.If you have any dog allergies be mindful of the fact that there is a business dog on premise. She did not bother anyone nor was she a nuisance. Something to be mindful of if you have allergies to dogs.We will definitely be returning.Thank you guys!!!Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly!!“

“I've only ordered the rocher cake from them so far. Service was great, the website at the time said there is at least 48 hours turnaround time. I reached out to ask if I can get it sooner and they saved one for me! Communication was smooth and the staff were friendly and helpful when I picked up my cake. The cake itself is really rich so if you love ferrero rocher and chocolate cake in general this is the cake for you! Personally it's too sweet for my liking, but I would love to try other cakes as well. It is on the pricier side. Would love to come back and try their coffee and pastries!“

“Loved this panederia. We had a craving for a Puerto Rican style breakfast sammie, and the place we wanted to try in Newark was a bit too far, so we took a chance here and we were more than happy. Happy to pay the toll anytime to get fresh bread and breakfast!“

“The most delicious eggplant parmigiana sandwich I have had in almost forever!!! Just the perfect balance of everything! And the BREAD! Beyond fabulous. I drove 36 miles to try this bread and I’m soooo glad I did. I will be back a lot!! My photo does not do this deliciousness any justice , just trust me!!!“

“Had breakfast there Saturday morning. First time eating there and everything was great. Cute little place to eat. Service was excellent prices were great. We loved everything we ate. We had a sausage and egg on a croissant, guava and cheese pastry and scrambled eggs with plantains and Arepa. we also took home quite a few pastries. That were delicious will definitely be going back again.“

“This was my first time having a mochinut and it was absolutely delightful!!! Their taro mochinut has been my favorite flavor so far. The texture is sooo good. It's both chewy like mochi and doughy like a donut, the perfect mixture of both! Not too heavy and not too sweet. And their variety of flavors is amazing and unique! I can't wait to go back and have some more. I can tell the staff there work hard to pump out all these donuts and with such quality too! Please keep doing what you're doing!“

“Everything I got was so delicious! I'm very picky with chocolate chip cookies as I am an experienced baker myself, but the nutella filled cookie definitely hit the spot and passed my approval :) the brownie bar was super fudgy and not too sweet. I'll be a returning customer for sure!“

“Pinoh’s is both a tremendous bakery and cafe. As the local bakeries give way to supermarkets for baked goods, Pinoh’s is my go to bakery even though it’s not in my neighborhood.Their Natas or Custard Cups are out of this world.Their breakfast pastries are the best but if you don’t get there in the morning many of their pastries are sold out.Want a great breakfast or lunch the Cafe side has a great variety of choices.Parking can be tricky, but worth the trip.Parking: I usually park across the street as there’s usually no problem. Side street parking up against the bakery has a few spaces, but usually filled at busy times“

“I had the pleasure of ordering my daughter's 6th birthday cake from Edos bakery, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.In short, this bakery is a gem, and I highly recommend them for any special occasion. They made my daughter's 6th birthday memorable with a cake that not only looked amazing but also tasted divine. Thank you for your outstanding service!“

“It is a place that is characterized by its friendliness and excellent service, its meals are delicious, its atmosphere is cozy, and the staff always makes you feel at home!!! You definitely can't leave without visiting this wonderful place??“

“Great little neighborhood luncheonette. All day breakfast and lunch. Staff is super friendly and helpful.Not a huge menu, but exactly what was needed for a late breakfast as I waited for the bus to NY that stops just down the block.The fresh coffee and orange juice were on point.To eat i had a 3 egg veggie omelet with toast and home fries. I asked for hot sauce and was offered their homemade hot sauce, with a warning that it was very hot. It was quite hot, but in all the best ways. A perfect compliment to my meal.If I lived or worked nearby, I would be here all the time, but alas I was just visiting.Thanks for a great meal!“

“I live walking distance from Bekka’s. When she first opened we had some jerk chicken and oxtail. It was okay but not great. However, this morning I had the ackee and salt fish with banana and yam, and it’s the best I ever had. I grew up in East Orange and have been to various Caribbean restaurants and this was the best Jamaican breakfast ever!“

“I have been coming to Papa Ganache for years. First in Matawan and now Cranford location because it is closer to me. The treats are always delicious but I want to shout out the customer service and staff. I have noticed in this day and age customer service is few and far between.But not here at PG! Specifically Carter!!! Carter is always so pleasant and kind no matter how many questions I may have about a product. I appreciate your kindness Carter!!! Thank you for showing me there are still kind people in this world.“

“first off let me say their customer service is wonderful. the lady over the phone was very helpful and courteous with my order and making sure the cupcakes gets to its location on time. the cupcakes were also beautiful in decoration and presentation also were very delicious. my wife loved it from the delivery to the dinner table. It was a hit in everyway possible. I will be ordering again and i recommend everyone at least try it once for your special someone or occassion.“
