44 Best Bakeries near Hamilton Square

“Absolutely delicious! It was a really hard decision between so many yummy varieties, but we went with the lemon chiffon. It was absolutely amazing! Refreshing and creamy. Their customer service was excellent and they are very pleasant, friendly and accommodating. We will be back soon and already thinking of the raspberry almond and apple walnut!“

“This is hands down the best bakery on the east coast that makes fresh organic pastries and cakes every morning with love. Highly recommend you try their croissants and mousse cake. I stop by nearly every day and always receive the best service from the front. Lilla Vanilla has earned a customer for life!“

“Crumbl Cookies is an absolute delight for anyone with a sweet tooth! From the moment you step inside, the aroma of freshly baked cookies envelops you, setting the stage for a delectable experience. Their rotating menu ensures there's always something new to try, but no matter the flavor, each cookie is baked to perfection--crispy on the edges, gooey in the middle, and bursting with flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a treat. Crumbl Cookies is a must-visit for dessert lovers!“

“I love this place! Delicious food made to order to tease your tastebuds. Think French home made cooking right to enjoy either on site or at home. Dishes are prepared with great care and passion for tradition. The place has amazing pastries too from traditional Pain au Raisins, to buttery Croissants or yummy madeleines. And all this in service of the community with a wonderful mission at its core led by a super dynamic and friendly team. What else can we wish for?“

“We used this bakery for our wedding. What drew us to this place was the quality and creativity of their cakes. They were very flexible with doing a take-home cake trial, which they don’t offer, and we greatly appreciate it. The reason why they are getting 4 stars is their lack communication and flexibility for delivering our cake. We had to change the filling last minute on our wedding cake due to no proper storage. I wish they told us the lemon curd needed to refrigerated before choosing it. Also the alternatives they told us was unprofessional. The replacement was good but not what we wanted. If it's a option I would to see how our intended cake was suppose to taste like.“

“I stumbled upon the store today and was extremely happy I did. Not only was I able to enjoy a delicious cinnamon roll, but met the owner who couldn't have been more lovely. If you are looking for delicious cinnamon rolls, look no further!“

“Such a cute little shop and filled with so many goodies.Chelsea makes such great pies and little treats. I've never had pie crust as good as hers. Flaky and crunchy. I wish I could just buy it.? The interior of the shop is adorable. And she has such a cool selection of drinks as well as treats. You never know what you're going to get that day and it might be your new favorite thing. Her salted honey, lavender pie and blueberry pie have to be my favorites! If you can't make it over to the shop you're sure to find some of her delicious pies and quiches at the baker's Grove in Shrewsbury! Everything is fresh. You can also sometimes get sandwiches. Everything she does is thought out and she puts a little bit of love in each goodie Kid-friendliness: This is a business that is open to all kinds of people. For a lot of people this is where they bring their kids for a nice little treat knowing it's not going to be packed full of harmful ingredients.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp.“

“I had a great experience with Nothing Bundt Cakes Princeton. I had attempted to place an order online, but experienced some technical difficulties. I called the store and spoke with an associate named Jordan who was able to assist me in placing an order to be picked up. I hit some traffic on my way to the store and gave them another call to let them know that my gps said I would be arriving at 4:01 pm (after closing hours). Jordan was extremely helpful and said they would wait for me to pick up my order. I arrived at the store, was greeted and grabbed my order. The bundtinis with the little party hats were a hit for my friend’s birthday!“

“My colleague brought bagels into the office to celebrate a birthday and the sesame Bagel was definitely one of the best bagels I've ever eaten.I've had bagels at some of the best Jewish delis in Essex county and Manhattan... I would not call myself a bagel connoisseur but definitely enjoy a great bagel!!can't wait to hit them up when visiting Great Adventure“

“Great store, with very helpful employees. They gave me a great deal on a fountain today that needed a little TLC. Cleaned it up and it looks as good as new. The owner was very helpful and the girls up front were very kind. They also had a great assortment of flowers for reasonable pricing. Thanks so much, I’ll be back!“

“Beautiful pastry and coffee shop on the side street. Not far from the main attractions, but the store wasn't as busy. Was able to enjoy a delicious cup of Rose Latte and carrot cake. The latte and cake were amazing, delicious, and perfect. Great place to end your night. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was so cozy and warm. I will definitely be back to try some other delicious drinks and pastries/ deserts.“

“Charming as can be. Such delightful energy. The owner and all staff helping all the customers. I came in with my cousin and we couldn't be more excited. As soon as you walk in, there are things to look at to the right. The book the cheap published, as well as all sorts of kitchen gadgets. Walking straight forward is such a wonderful treat. So many baked goodies in the glass display case. They recommended some savory and sweet treats and that's what we got. I was really pleased with everything we got. Spinach Pastry and dragonfruit pastry. Wonderful!! Every bite was so delightful! I look forward to coming back again. The proprietress is so kind and so engaging ! This will be your favorite place too.“

“So this is a bit mixed experience for me. We got some pastries from here few weeks back and ate them in the car as we didbt have time for a sit down, and they were good. We went back recently and decided to stay for breakfast. My breakfast burrito came with bacon but it was thick, hard to bite into and the whole thing just lacked taste. My wife had some type of spinach omelette but that was not very tasty either. The young girl working in front while nice behind the desk taking orders, when she brought my food almost threw it at me, just no smile no asking if we needed anything else, fairly rude in my book. My wife still wanted to get pastry to go and that again was good. So will not be coming back for breakfast but you might be able to grab something that's actually good.“

“I had thee typical Guatemalan breakfast omelette with tomatoes & onion tortillas salsa picante creme spicy sausage and thee food was delicious and nutritious Leslie thee manager or counterwoman speaks excellent Spanish & English and thee place was very clean I am going to try pupusas or chicken stew next time service was friendly and professional TRY IT“

“Wonderful establishment in our community. Stopped by to pick up a birthday cake and did not realize they had already closed for the day. Owner was just leaving and she went back inside and got me a cake. They also did a great job for a school fundraiser a few months ago. Thank you!!!“

“Took my elderly mother to Perkins on a Sunday morning. Her favorite place to go. Breakfast was good you can never really beat Perkins pancakes. The waitress was very nice, the service was fast, and the food. Pricing was also with an average range. My mother goes to this Perkins I believe on Wednesday nights because they have two entrees for $30, you can't beat that.“

“I have to thank KK Sweets for the fabulous cake, cookies, macarons, and caneles. I couldn't have imagined a better cake. My idea of some of my favorite things on my cake, I thought couldn't be done. But KK Sweets came up with this amazing concept. That is totally me! And the witch's hat on top brought it together to match my theme of a "Salem Chic" 40th birthday party. It was too beautiful to cut, but we did...and it was delicious. The best cake I think I've ever had for any of my birthdays. For your next event, please go to KK Sweets in Hamilton on Quakerbridge Road. You will not be disappointed!“

“I rarely add reviews but had to for this place. Their bagels are on point! Light and airy and are huge! Best bagel place in this area hands down and I'm quite particular about my bagels, lol! Always tough to find good bagel places. Strongly suggest checking it out!“

“What delightful find, and unintentionally discovered! I had the coffee and it was good, prices fair, but next time I will be sure to pick up some baked goods. They seem to have so much variety! The person working there was so polite as well, and it looks spacious for seating too! I just wish they had better signage as it's in a strip mall, so hidden in a strip mall off route 1.“

“In over 25 years, I've never had a single thing from Olives that wasn't delicious. Not one thing. My favs are the spicy gyro and spicy chicken souvlaki. The triple salad combo is unbeatable for the health conscious foodie. The spanakopita is right on the mark. Hummus. Stuffed grape leaves. Their baked goods... the BAKLAVA- crunchy, buttery sweetness. says best in town on the menu... it's the best, period. You can't go wrong with ANY of the lunch or dinner specials. I could go on- but I need to put in my order before the lunch rush.“

“This was my first time stopping in the Trenton farmer's market. I came here because I couldn't pass up a Nutella croissant. The filling is not thick like Nutella. It is light and creamy, but it does have hazelnut flavor. The croissant is huge and flaky.“

“Excellent food. Best brunch place in the area. Great customer service! I ordered chicken and waffles and s'mores (I went there twice). Both dishes were so delicious that I finished everything. Food is like homemade right from the kitchen. Unique ingredients and ambience.“

“Food was great but pretty pricey for the servings. My lamb curry was expensive but didn't come with rice / naan, and I had to buy separately. Has a cafeteria ambiance, felt cramped and needed to move around people Loved the wide selection of food - they have all types of entrees, snacks, and baked goods. Would want to come back and try out other foods“

“First time going there. By far the best most fluffiest, soft, chewy, thick donuts I have ever had in my life. They are absolutely delicious. Every single one I bet. I had gotten the chocolate glazed. I also purchased an apple turnover and that (I’m not even a fruit in my pastry person) was just so soft, chewy yet such a nice flake of every corner and bite. They deserve to have a bigger store!! Very cute and small for now. I would say the baklava was not my favorite but I know it’s someone else’s and it could be good just the flavor for me was not something I’m used to. Definitely going again :) I wish I had photos to show what I bought but I inhaled everything.“

“The Princeton location is my favorite local place for a cappuccino and dessert. Very few places make a European quality cappuccino as Chez Alice does. Service is friendly, prices are reasonable and the Ambience is definitely very French and lovely. When weather permits, I generally will sit outside at the café tables under the awning. Bonus, the cafe is dog, friendly!“

“House of Cupcakes provides for a spectacular journey of the senses - both visually and in taste.It is quite easy to walk past the cupcakery, as it sits discreetly within the row of restaurants and other small shops. However, posters and signage at the windows do a decent job at capturing the attention of the wayfaring netizen to give insight of the delights found within.Inside the House of Cupcakes resembles that of a deli with a dash of boutique vibes. There is an immediate gravitation to the shelves of assorted cupcakes that line the wall behind the counter. There are also prepackaged cupcakes at the counter for available for quick in-and-out purchase if you don't have time to flounder around with making the "perfect" selection(s). If you are able to distract yourself from those mesmerizing goods, there are also racks of what appear to be locally sourced and made treats available if cupcakes are not your jam. But really, the visually appealing cupcakes steal the show.The variety and assortment of fresh cupcakes is truly overwhelming, and you could really sit there for minutes trying to decide on what you want. Definitely suggest that you go in with a plan-of-attack; know what flavors you are craving and build around that premise. However, I don't feel that you can go wrong judging by the flavors, and taste (in hindsight).The cupcakes themselves are incredibly fluffy and soft in texture and consistency. Sure, like other cupcakes they will harden if left expose to the elements, but if consumed properly and efficiently, these probably rates as one of the best cupcakes in the local area (the other best ones we've had are from Blue Sheep Bakery). Depending on the flavor and style, you might have filling within some of the cupcakes, while the majority of them are covered in a rich buttercream. The buttercream has been made to perfection - it is light (almost airy to a degree) and not entirely too sweet.We picked up half-a-dozen assort cupcakes, and surprisingly the Black Forest and Dulce de Leche varietals stood out to me. I was expecting the Dulce de Leche to be overwhelming sweet, but it was not and incredibly enjoyable. The Red Velvet was good and held its own, however, would have been amazing if the buttercream was cream cheese-based.All-in-all, a great spot to visit for some treats/desserts!“

“Best freshed breads and pastries in the area. Stop in get some fresh baked rolls to make a sandwich at home. If not get a sandwich there on a fresh baked roll, you can't go wrong. Got that sweet tooth craving, grab some of their fresh baked pastries.“

“True authentic Guatemalan food & bakery. My dad always orders from here and the portions are gigantic and the prices are low. It's so difficult trying to find good Guatemalan food or restaurants however this spot offers a very large selection of baked breads and a buffet. The bakery does not offer sit down seating, only takeout. And the tamales are a must try. They have large tamales and little ones but I can't resist buying the large size. Staff is very friendly however the location is not in the safest of areas (probably best to go during the day & not at night). If you're in the area and are looking for Guatemalan tamales you have got to come here!“

“After our favorite bagel place in Robinsville changed hands and took a nosedive we were on the search for a good bagel. After a pretty thorough search finding fat doughy bagels, hard flovorless things, etc. we found Bagel Nosh close to home. As some have mentioned they do tend to run out more often then most, at least you know they are fresh AND they have FLAGELS!! They only have everything flagels and run out early but we love their bagels. Sometimes the cream cheese distribution if off but that's what knives are for.“

“Tried their garlic bagels for the first time recently...They were excellent!Crispy, chewy, and covered on top AND bottom with garlic. Tasty! And there was some Kosher salt mixed in with the garlic; gave it something extra.Truly a delicious Bagel.“

“Was grabbing lunch in this plaza and came across the Golden Bread Bake Shop. Cute older man was busy baking fresh breads and pastries in the oversized commercial ovens. He meticulously rotated the breads for even baking/browning and the smell was so tempting. I was introduced to Filipino cuisine by a friend of mine and saw the cashew tarts. Bought 2 packs of that, some coconut muffins and a chicken empanada. Cashew tarts are as delicious and tasty as I remembered. Nice chewy filling, flaky crust and not too sweet. Perfect snack for me and kids. Love to support a small local business. Plan to order my birthday cake there in the upcoming months. Do yourself a favor and support this man!“

“Last night, as usual, every week I visited my favorite place to buy sweets.. Guatepan.. and since they are celebrating the 20th anniversary, I decided to make this review because many people need to know that if they are looking for something delicious, they should arrive at the door of Guatepan. in Trenton.. and if you want the best service in the world, ask for a girl named Karla because it is through people like her that it is possible to maintain a good business.. my congratulations to all the Guatepan staff and may this 20th anniversary come full of energy for everything your personal …⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars for you guatepan“

“I’ve been going to this bakery for many years and everything they make is yummy. Their pies are delicious and their cream donuts are the best! The owners are so nice and very accommodating for whatever you need for any occasion you may be having. Definitely worth a visit. Guaranteed you will come back. ?“

“My wife is obsessed with cafes/ bakeries, especially if there's a French twist to them. This place is charming and enchanting. It has plenty of seating and a cozy couch, along with free wifi making it a great place to work. The food options are endless. It took me 10 minutes to decide what I wanted because too many things looked amazing! The owner is a wonderfully kind woman, she was patient with me and answered all my questions and gave me some recommendations on the best sellers. The spinach and feta croissant is to die for. It is a must try in my opinion. It was flaky, warm, buttery, with the perfect amount of salt. I'm usually a person that like hot sauce on everything. But this pastry was perfect just as it was. I also got the French beignets, chocolate and raspberry. If you come here, ask for everything to be warmed up, and sit and enjoy the meal you just got. I can't wait to bring my wife back and try that they have in their lunch menu along with the pastries they have.“

“Very attractive establishment. I was in the area visiting the Grounds for Sculpture, and found this delightful bakery. I had what turned out to be a huge Madeline with extraordinarily delicious vanilla interior. If I ever return to Hamilton, New Jersey, I will visit them again and stock up for home.Spanish-speaking employees, but at least one speaks English that I know of.“

“Love this bakery especially for latin baked goods. I buy their corn muffins often at least 4 times a week. The most beautiful and amazing staff. They help me with learning spanish very family orientated and now they have seats to eat in the bakery awesome!“

“Welcome to the neighborhood!New bakery on Liberty St in a vibrant neighborhood with restaurants and barsMet Veronica who was very pleasant and answered my questionsBaking is NOT done on the premises but nearby on Butler StreetOn-street parking only, no meters in the areaTypical pricing, seating and tables for dining“

“The Breads, Jellys , Butters or species of the Eastern Europe are easy to get at this store, Herrings, Species , BREAD, cookies and chocolates are so low in salt and sweet at the same time, they are just enough slated or sweeted . Its one in all area, I have not found a place like this one other than NY. We are lucky to have this store close to home.“

“Lived in the area for years and never stopped by. They happened to be open the evening of Easter so we stopped in. They share parking with Russ Ayres Hot Dogs. On the right side there is a really cute seating area with huge Adirondack chairs. It was too cold for us to sit outside but next time. The lines moved really fast. I went for a kids size chocolate soft serve in a cone, and my boyfriend went with root beer water ice and vanilla soft serve. My kids size was huge! The soft serve was good and creamy. My cone was a little stale but still edible. My boyfriend is very particular when it comes to water ice. He said it had too many hard ice pieces in it. We did have a sample of the mint chocolate chip water ice, and that one was creamier. So it could have been the particular flavor that was more icy. Would come back and try other flavors.“

“My girlfriend and I have brunch here every weekend. The food and ambiance are fantastic! The service is also excellent. The smashed avocado tartine is by far our favorite dish, and any espresso drink we’ve gotten to date has been amazing. It does get a bit crowded around 10am-11am on the weekends, but tables usually clear out quickly enough such that you’re seated before your food arrives. Overall I could not recommend this place more!“

“A decent spot to swing by and grab a quick lunch! The ladies up front were quick and happily answered my questions. The plain bagel could use a little work, and the French Toast Bagel was pretty average. Besides that, it’s a typical Bagel Shop that offers Desserts and Pastries ?“

“Went to this little bakery this past Saturday, my first time, and it was everything I was told it was (friends who live in the area recommended I make a stop there on my way home) The service was quick, and the young lady who helped me with my order was not only sweet but polite. I ordered a plain croissant and a cappuccino. The croissant was super flaky and buttery . The cappuccino was delicious and hit the spot, especially since it was cold and snowy out. To take home, I ordered some chocolate and plain croissants (also delicious) and the piece de resistance was the King Cake!!! Out of this world! My family loved everything and that cake did not last long! The 20 mile trip was worth it and I would gladly go back again!“

“I purchased a birthday cake for my 2 year old grandson’s party. I asked for a Baby Shark theme and was thrilled when I picked up the cake. Not only was it beautifully decorated but everyone at the party commented on how moist the cake was and how great the under-the-sea decorating complemented the sharks. The owner and Bakery staff were great; helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Ewing Cakes!“
