38 Best Bakeries near Pennington

“Great selection of treats here, not just ice cream! There are booths inside, along with stand alone tables and chairs, and some outside. Even up until closing they are quite busy, I believe hours may shift between summer and fall/winter so make sure you double check. They have a wide selection of ice cream flavors and Italian ice flavors. The Ed Special is particularly delicious (vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, fudge, and pretzels). Definitely will be coming here when it's warm again in the spring and summer!“

“Wow! Your croissants are the best I’ve ever had!“

“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.“

“Did an absolute amazing job and was super easy to work with Being deployed, I was able to easily coordinate with what kind of design and cake I wanted for my Daughters 4th birthday. Sweta made the communication process super easy and got back right away with each message. Not only did the cake come out awesome, but I was told it was delicious as well. My little princess day was made with the cake, and she thinks Daddy did it all. Thank you so much! Please support this small business, you will not be disappointed!“

“Thankful for this bakery! We are vegan, my daughter is gluten free and we found amazing, tasty treats for all!“

“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!“

“Had gone for breakfast with friends. Great variety of crossiants. Loved the jelepeno crossiant.coffee was good. Had to wait for long to get the coffee. The lady at the counter forgot to give us our coffee and was reminded again to make our coffee. Excellent cakes.“

“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.“

“Each year for Thanksgiving we gift Maddalena's Apple Crumble Pie to our clients - everyone loves them and looks forward to them! We always encourage folks to pick up the lobster ravioli, chicken pot pie or the lumberjack chili when stopping by the store - their savory dishes are amazing as well!“

“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'm the guy in Alex T's review eating the chocolate croissant!! Overall very cute shop with a nice quiet vibe. I believe I have under utilized the shop as a place to catch up with friends, as the assortment of pasties, coffee, seating, and ambiance come together to form an environment calmer and cozier than most other cafes in town. The croissant was very fair. The best in Princeton? I'd say no, but you are bound to be satisfied. I am yet to sample the rest of the pastries, but seeing them in the case as I walk by the store front is always enough to bring some light into my day. Worthy of a stop, and make sure to pop out back for seating in the Witherspoon St courtyard!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I cannot recommend Sweet Gourmet highly enough! They went above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday extra special with custom cheetah cupcakes. Not only were the cupcakes visually stunning with intricate cheetah designs, but they tasted incredible. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients were evident in every bite. The team at Sweet Gourmet was incredibly professional, accommodating, and talented. They truly exceeded my expectations and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for delicious treats and exceptional service, look no further than Sweet Gourmet!“

“We had tea time reservations at Chez Alice and could not have been happier. Our table was reserved at the window and not only did we receive excellent service, the staff customized the bites to our needs, and allowed us to relax and stay for hours. They did not rush us out and even refrigerated our leftovers until we were ready to leave. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would recommend Chez Alice over other tea time options in the area. Please visit - even just for an unplanned stop in to-go. So many wonderful options. You will not be disappointed!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice local bakery that I found while my daughter was in town shopping for a prom dress. Large selection of made on location pastries. I'm a big fan of local bakeries, and I don't live close, so we got some stuff to take home. Crumble Cake. Nice flavor, pleanty amout of crumble, just a bit dry, but not a deal breaker. I would buy it again. 4 stars. Blueberry Breakfast Cake. I liked it but I didn't love it. To me, the blueberries tasted like they came out of a can, and I didn't expect that. The cake was moist, but for me, it was a little too sweet. I wouldn't buy it again but that's my taste. Give it a try and make your own decision. 2.5 stars. Cannoli Cupcake. Not one of those huge cupcakes that you can't fit into your mouth, and you need a fork and knife. Tasty with a little Cannoli on top. 3 stars. Creme Brulee with chocolate mousse topping. Good to the last spoonful! I usually only order C.B. in restaurants, so it comes out warm. This looked so good. I had to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. 4.5 stars.“

“Very nice family owned business with delicious food!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“They have very good tarts and meat pies!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“It's a pleasure to shop at this store. One cashier especially, Chris O., greets you with a warm smile, remembers your name and even asks questions like, how was the party, or whatever. It makes a trip to the grocery store a little like visiting a friend. Lynn M.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“
