50 Best Bakeries near West Caldwell

“My 1st time here as I heard about it from my sister in North Carolina so when I drive by I had to stop in. I was greeted by a very friendly young lady who was so knowledgeable in all the different flavors and as a novice myself she helped me to decide on the pumpkin spice ( limited edition) and the strawberry bundle cake! They were very good ,and just enough for one person. I don't like very sweet icing so I didn't eat much of the icing but the cakes were delicious ? will definitely go back again“

“Truck driver here, very nice and hardworking Latino guys in the shipping and recieving department. I basically arrived a day earlier, and they unloaded me past midnight. Very humble and hardworking guys. Unloading was pretty fast. Their yard is a little tight, but you will have no problem backing, very simple. Enter thru the main entrance. After that you'll You'll see a driveway next to some giant solar panels (to me it is a dryway lol), try to swing wide, drive straight ahead and then you'll just straight back onto the loading dock (be careful not to hit other trailers). Once you're done you'll just exit thru that same dryway. Very good and pleasant delivery. And they gave me bagels to take with me, OMG THEY ARE SO GOOD, SERIOUSLY. WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BRAND. Thank you so much!“

“Great bagels, best in area. Smiling service, no where to be found. The faces of the ladies at counter they make you walk away, I think I can’t take it no more. Never go back again, I’ll get good bagels somewhere else. I don’t mean you have to be like a birthday party face, but, man, definitely something better as customers relation could be use here.“

“Went here for lunch today. It’s colorful, friendly, and the food is delicious. I ordered the filled tostones appetizer and fish filet in garlic sauce. Juan was the perfect host. Will go back on a Saturday night for live music! BYOB. Check it out!!“

“This place is pretty cool and the service was amazing. We did have to wait a little before getting helped bc each group pretty much gets a little history of where the place started, and there's only one person who speak to the customers. The ice cream seems to be high quality and the cones are made to order! I personally don't prefer the cone texture, even though they're fresh they're still a little dense. But I'd def come back and get a cup with a smaller portion of the cone.“

“I have never tried sweets and especially Turkish sweets like in this store before. It was recommended by so many people and it is even above all my expectationsThey have all kind of deserts and let me tell you it is soooooo delicious and makes you feel happy longer after you tries itOne of the best and elegant places and wonderful customer serviceI strongly recommend trying this place at least once before you die ?“

“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!“

“The perfect chocolate cake. It was moist, decadent chocolate cake perfectly layered with like a thicker chocolate pudding, and then it was topped off with chocolate crumbles .... giving it an extra oomph/ perfect textureAlso got the ginger snap - has a nice ginger taste, which is what one would look for.I'm definitely going back.“

“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!“

“Great meal and overall time here! Our server was super nice and friendly/helpful he really guided us through the menu and gave some great suggestions. The restaurant itself is super nice and cozy while being spacious, but oh man the food is unreal. We had the meatballs (so big and flavorful and smothered in sauce), the mushroom pizza which was loaded with mushrooms, super flavorful and unique. Also got the vodka pizza which was really great, we got extra vodka sauce on the side so we could really drown it and loved it. My friend got the gluten free and she said it's the first gluten free bread she's had that actually tastes like real bread and loved it.“

“Really impressed! We asked Stuff by SJ to make a custom cake for a pizza-themed birthday party. Working with them (Drew) was super easy and stress free. They were helpful, responsive, well priced and even delivered our cake to the restaurant ahead of the party. Everyone complimented the design and taste of the cake so it was a big hit. I’d definitely go back to them for our next cake.“

“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“

“I am glad I saw their delivery van when I was driving by. I did a Uturn and hoped I stumbled on a yummy bakery. This place is gem. Small space for dining in so I decided to order a cappuccino and almond croissant to go and drive to a nearby park. I also got a container of their poppyseed hamantaschen cookies. Everything was top notch and delicious. Service was quick and friendly. First authentic croissant I have had in recent memory. I really appreciate that the baked goods were flavorful and not sugary. Perfect.“

“These treats are as delicious as they look. There has not been one person that I have shared with that did not find the cupcakes delicious. She’s very professional and accommodating. I had to switch my order last minute and she didn’t disappoint with getting them done for me the day before nor give a problem to switch due to the change of my situation. Anyone that is thinking of ordering please do you will not be disappointed. I will be ordering again.“

“I would definitely consider myself a regular. Love their sandwiches and bakery items. The best part about this restaurant is their amazing and friendly staff. Everyone is just so nice and willing to help/answer any questions you have. The bakery is very relaxing so you could definitely get some work done if that's your cup of tea. The only negative I must comment on is that their sandwiches sit under a heated lamp so their bagels can get a bit soggy. P.S. order online as soon as the bakery opens because they do sell out very quickly. Especially on the weekends!“

“After being here a number of times, it is safe to say you can blindly order something random on the menu and it will be fantastic. Great for a weekly date night, business lunch/dinner, it is for sure a place to impress your guests! As a restauranteur myself, Il Capriccio is the Gold standard in everything they do from their fresh food, professional service, and even a warm and genuine greeting. Really, nothing comes close.“

“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!“

“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 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 ordered a Peter Rabbit cake (last minute) and they were able to accommodate the request - it was such a beautiful cake, but more importantly, the most delicious cake! Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam. Every single person at the party said it was the best cake they’d ever had! Thank you so much for the best cake!“

“My new favorite place! I got their berries and cream cake a few weeks ago and was so impressed. It’s perfectly balanced - not too sweet which is perfect for my palate. I stopped in again today and all the items I got were amazing!!Everyone should definitely try out this place. Excellent customer service! Great experience all around. I highly recommend!“

“Ordered a gluten free, sugar free cake for my friends birthday. We were blown away by how good it was! Everyone loved it and would have never known there was no sugar!! Everyone who works there is super friendly also when we had questions about what was in the cake! 10 out of 10!!“

“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.“

“Dietary restrictions: They have quite a few gluten free options, which have been amazing! My family loves their regular pastries, and breads. The owner shared a lovely cup of single source coffee with me, that his mother had brought from his family village in South America.Very nice people, with a comfortable place to have a light meal, empanadas, pastries, etc.Their GF guava sweet bread - is DELICIOUS!“

“***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.“

“Great hidden cookie spot. Better than any of those chain cookie places like Insomnia, or anything like that. Staff is very friendly and it’s a great local business to support. Typically I’m a chocolate chip guy, but the Oreo ones are fantastic.“

“In 2023 we had our daughter design our wedding cake. We went to many places and some couldn’t design it the way that it was in the sketchbook. They wanted to take off a tier or change the flowers for fake flowers. When we came to Creations we not only found the perfect flavors but they said they could make it the way it was sketched out. They asked for the colors I wanted and the type of wedding to get a sense of what we wanted. Let me tell you, we wren’t disappointed. It was as if the cake came to life. Cake arrived on time and intact. Thank you Creations for being so reliably amazing.“

“This is a wonderful French bakery with truly authentic French breads and pastries. I got a couple of loaves of fig and walnut bread that were discounted, and almond croissant that another customer convinced me to get, a turkey Brie and apple sandwich and I had actually ordered two croissants but for some reason they didn’t make it in my bag. I think there was a misunderstanding with the other customer; no matter, an excuse to return! The sandwich bread (a mini French baguette) was surprisingly crisp on the outside and didn’t at all get soft when I returned home 1.5 hrs later to enjoy it. Everything just looks and smells good. I look forward to returning.“

“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!“

“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!?☕️ “

“Went to a wedding where the cake was provided from here, absolutely delicious. Everyone who had a slice of their wedding cake was raving about how good it was. I'm not much of a sweets person but the cake was so balanced flavor wise as well as having a perfect texture. Highly recommend and I know I'm dying to try the rest of their menu when I get the chance.“

“Do I feel like I'm "stepping out" on Belgiovine's when I'm in Montclair but decide to come here instead? (I do.) But it'll only take one visit for you to be a true believer as well. It's small. You walk in and aside from the squad of friendly workers at both main counters you'll first encounter the amazing breads (and treats). All the shapes, styles and sizes your carb-loving heart desires will be found on one of these racks. Expertly made... dense, sturdy, flavorful, with a mighty crust (that'll give your Fixodent a workout!). Take a few steps towards the 'back' and now you're at the deli and it's overflowing with options. Each item looks bewitching and alluring and before you can even finish saying, "A pound of..." - somehow it's already sliced and bagged and the guy is waiting on the next item you need. (Maybe it's that luscious square of eggplant parm that they've intentionally left "posed" on top of the spatula or the Italian hot dog platter or that mountain of sauteed broccoli rabe that you know it's going to have that perfect 'bite'.) And as soon as you get home you immediately start crafting what's to be a most perfect sandwich with their seeded semolina, fresh ball of mootz (so creamy and delectable), and a few other odds-and-ends you snagged. Thank goodness this town is big enough for more than one amazing Italian deli and I don't have to pick which is my all-time fave.“

“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!“

“This is truly a wonderful spot for stuffed arepa. Very very good service, atmosphere, and exceptional food. I have been to many many stuffed arepas restaurants but none compare to this. I recommend the Bendita Arepa with a colombiana soda ❤️ It’s truly a great spot. Not too overpriced either. The ambient is a great for a family gathering too. Please if you’re feeling iffy about it give it a try very yummy food ❤️“

“I found my new favorite bakery! I was in the area craving a pastry and found this on google, did not disappoint! I tried a few things like a chocolate croissant, powdered donut, tiramisu, cheesecake and a strawberry creme puff. Every single one was delicious, fresh and light. I'm upset I didn't leave with more, a hidden gem and a must try!“

“Natale’s is our go to for birthday cakes. It’s usually pretty reliable in terms of taste and prices. They make a delicious pineapple and black forest cake.However, I’m slightly disappointed by the in person customer experience. The whole process feels a bit rushed. They have a pretty nice collection of baked items, but no names/ingredients or prices. Am I expected to know what each of them is called, when ordering with the person behind the counter? It also feels like on busy days, I don’t want to spend time asking a bunch of questions and have the people behind me wait.Letting people browse and having names and prices would improve the in person experience considerably in my opinion.But definitely recommend for delicious reasonably priced baked goods and cakes.“

“Attention West Coast natives! Have you, like me, been desperately hunting for a good maple donut only to find that for some reason that’s not a thing on the east coast?? Glaze Donuts has you covered!!! Other places have fancy “maple bacon sourdoughnuts” and things like that, but we know it’s not the same. Look. The east coast has better bagels, the west coast has better donuts. It’s just the way our country is divided. But if you’re looking for a truly stellar, no-nonsense yet absolutely delicious and creative donut experience, Nutley Donuts is the place. ?“

“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 ordered 2 dozen cupcakes from Three Daughters Baking Company for our daughter’s Baby Shower on Feb. 25, 2024. They did a wonderful job accommodating my request. The cupcakes were delicious and not too sweet. I had sent them a Pinterest photo of how I wanted them to “swirl” the icing so it would look like a flower on top and use several colors of icing because I was going to arrange them in a “cupcake bouquet.” I was very pleased with how the cupcakes tasted and also how they looked.Photos attached show the cupcakes by Three Daughters Baking. (The flower stems and ribbon were provided by the customer. )Their service, their food and everything was excellent! I highly recommend Three Daughters Baking Company!“

“Had a wonderful experience today to celebrate a birthday! The staff is lovely, informative and attentive. The venue is clean and bright and the table setting was so pretty. There were plenty of selections on the three tiered tray stand and we thoroughly enjoyed the tea! Give it a try!“

“Last minute I ordered cookies for my nieces party - I wanted farm animal cookues. I ordered 3 days before & Humble Crumbles was there to bake the cutest cookies! It was awesome working with them & I really appreciate the decision to help me out last minute! I will ABSOLUTELY be ordering again!! Can't recommend more!!! Very happy ? thank you!!!“

“It's not my first time and it won't be my last. Maybe the best desserts and cakes you can find in New Jersey are here. Not just dessert varieties. The breakfast is also amazing. If you like Mediterranean cuisine, especially Turkish cuisine, visit Paterson, New Jersey. I went there for breakfast both on weekends and during the week, but I think it was better on the weekend. That's why I recommend you to go for breakfast on the weekend. I have been drinking Turkish tea and eating desserts for years, but I have not seen any decrease in its taste over the years. It means that he keeps his cook well ? “

“I visit NJ often and come to taskin for most of my simits and poğaça.So far its the highest quality product I've seen in terms of simit and poğaça.One thing I will note is that the simit is not traditional simit, it has a more fluffy taste and is sweeter then the normal simit. It's still very good but for those who are simit elitist might think otherwise.“

“I truly beautiful, and amazing Cafe, with beautiful decor on the inside and out!The owner takes pride and absolutely everything that comes out of the kitchen, which is handcrafted and made with love! Some of the best chocolate chip cookies, flourless, brownies, cakes, macaroons, and croissants, as big as your head!“

“Freud de Sel is an amazingly dangerous bakery to my waistline and wallet. When I go in, I can’t resist the call of those tantalizing pastries and desserts. Everything that I’ve tried has been wonderful. Their baguette is perfection. All the desserts are works of art. Love that we have such an authentic French bakery in Chatham. Glad it is a bit of a drive from my house to keep me out of trouble. lol.“

“Ring in the yum! Of all the mochi donut places I've tried, these stay the softest even when they're a couple days old. The day my family and I visited, they had 10 flavors available and we enjoyed all, especially the Nutella, Strawberry, and Brown Sugar Milk Tea. We love it a hole bunch! ;)NOTES/TIPS:**No restroom, more of a take out spot.**Between Bonchon and Barangay.**Street parking.**They offer several great deals of 1 free donut for buying 6 or 2 for buying a dozen, and 1 free taiyaki ice cream for buying 2.“

“Very fresh künefe and kadayif which is made fresh in front of you.I would recommend coming here over antepli because it is freshly made. Where antepli is packaged the day before.However I think their cold baklava or soğuk baklava is the best I've had in the states. Definitely order that.Don't get the sütlaç (rice pudding) it's not very good. Clumpy and too starchy“

“I love using this Company make the best Cupcakes. I use them every year for different occasions. It was my first time picking up order from Baked Bouquet in Edison, New Jersey. The service was good In the employees were very helpful. Wife said that the Cupcakes were very delicious and she loved them For her valentine gift.“
