“They did an amazing job on my daughter’s unicorn birthday cake, it literally took my breath away when I saw it! My 4 year old had the same reaction! My daughter is allergic to sesame and tree nuts, so I’m thrilled to have found this bakery for all of her celebration cakes!“
“***4 1/2 stars**I'm not sure how crazy I am about this place being a few blocks from where I live, but I suppose that's not Mo & Jay's fault. I've been aware of this bakery/pastry establishment for a few years (I think it showed up in this relatively new apartment building on Main Street two or three years ago), but hadn't actually thought to go inside until yesterday morning. I was entrusted with obtaining a dessert for a weekend BBQ, and it occurred to me that this was at least the easiest spot to quickly grab something. The fact that the desserts were extremely good ended up being a pleasant accident/bonus.I brought one of my top tier chums to assist with the purchase. From very brief research, it seemed like the eclairs were the big selling point here. I thought it would also be a little wily on my part to get them because I tend to not enjoy eating food that has stuff in it, and figured I'd be unlikely to do anything too naughty with that. That turned out not to be accurate, but I digress. We got the five for $25 éclair deal, and procured a raspberry, a lemon meringue, a nutella, a pistachio and a cookies & cream. Just as we were about to wrap up, I also impulsively grabbed a cheddar/bacon scone, which was humongous and understandably caught my eye.The eclairs were definitely a hit. My personal favorite was the cookies & cream. The flavor was incredibly on point, and it was almost like a meta ice cream experience. The only issue with that one specifically was that the cream inside was runnier than the other pastries, which made it a little messy. Not a huge deal. The runner-up was probably the raspberry for me. Again, extremely flavorful, almost to a fault - it was overwhelmingly tart, which is obviously kind of a calling card for raspberries but if you're not into that, I'd stay away. The nutella was actually a little on the bland side for me but not bad. The lemon meringue was a big hit for everyone else, but I'm not a huge fan of that flavor to begin with - I don't think that's a mark against this place by any means. In hindsight, we probably wouldn't have gotten the pistachio, but none of us are hardcore pistachio fans. The cream consistency and dough for all of these was very high quality, and understandably a lot of this is going to come down to how you feel about specific flavors.In a final twist later on, I sampled the scone around dinner time and was very pleasantly surprised - the scone was very moist and tasty, and was reminiscent of a Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit, though probably at least twice the size and with actual pieces of bacon in it. Very strong recommend on that front.The service was very good. We had a pleasant female cashier assisting us as my chum was literally squatting on the ground eagerly peering into the display case squealing out flavors to get. Zero issues there, and we were in and out within a few minutes uneventfully. There were also a lot of cakes and other types of pastries, so I expect I'll be returning shortly to obtain their assistance with another BBQ.“
“The best gelato in NJ hands down. I'm from Europe and always have a hard time finding authentic gelato, well this is it! I drive from NY to Gio's for the affogato with nocciola gelato, and my girls love the strawberry one. Delicious, local, and the owner/staff are wonderful people.“
“I can't be more impressed with the owner herself ie Christina and her beautiful creation of a yacht cake that she made for me at the very last moment. The cake was perfect and it was melting in the mouth and really yum. I will surely return for any future orders.“
“I had went to three different bakery trying to get a specific design a cake and was turned away . Finally I was recommended by a friend to to see Emily at Bella Vida pastry . Im glad I did ,I have to say my goddaughter sweet 16 turned out so beautiful it was more then we expected we sent her a picture and she matched it to the tee, and it tasted amazing. And let me not forget to mention their very reasonable in their prices They will definitely get my business again.“
“Stopped by the recommendation of my friend. Was looking for a good place to order Wedding Cake and very happy I did.Had tried a sample of few cakes “Strawberry Shortcake and Coffee Cake “ which both were amazing. Made my decision to order the Cake!!!“
“Their pastries are amazing. The service is amazing. Sweet sugary goodness. Got addicted after a coworker brought a box of the pecan danish's and I will never go anywhere else. What's nice is that you can place an order before hand for pick up since those go out super fast by high demand. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays which is a bummer but definitely give them a try. Small bakery but big impact on your taste buds! Love it!“
“Lovely Bakery Cafe with a classic, relaxed ambience and old world charm. Came late afternoon on Presidents Day and there were lots of customers but also plentiful seats available. The croissant lived up to its reputation! It was large, crumbly and flaky on the outside and very affordably priced. Cashier was very friendly too! She offered to heat up our croissant and brought it out to us on a plate. This place is definitely worth a visit!“
“Rose at Rispoli’s is a delight! Best service and pastries in Bergen County! The lobster tails are to die for. Just ordered a birthday cake and Easter dessert. Not to mention the fresh bread baked all day long. You cannot go wrong with this gem in our backyard!“
“This was my first time visiting Mattarello bakery and I will definitely come back!When I walked in - I was welcomed by smiling and happy barista.It was hard to choose what I wanted to try,they have a lot off different cookies,pastries and cakes,the lady who was working there helped me to choose the perfect pastries to try.I had bombolone donut with custard cream, lobster tail with chantilly cream and a large cappuccino.Everything tasted amazing.Fresh,a lot(!!!)of filling which made me really happy.For coffee lovers - they have different types of milk to choose for your cappuccino,latte or matcha latte.I had a cappuccino with almond milk and look at the cute bear!I can’t wait to come back another time to try something new!?☕️ “
“This ice cream shop is a GEM! The variety of flavors is so impressive and each is delicious. We have LOVED Lavender Sky, Pistachio Rose, dairy free Pistachio, Rainbow Cookie, Cheesecake and a Rocky Road. Yummie :)Such a cute little spot for a quick drop in. I don’t see myself returning to a big chain ice cream shop again, this little spot tops them all by far. Enjoy!!“
“I cannot get enough of Keeping You Sweet Sweet Potato Cheesecake! I love desserts and eat them often, and I must say that the Sweet Potato Cheesecake easily makes it to the top of my list. It is SO delicious, I purchase it every time I see it when it is available at my local Whole Foods. There was one week I went to Whole Foods 4 times, I bought the cheesecake 4 times that week. Yes, it is that good. I hope that Whole Foods will pick up other flavors!!!!“
