Phone number: (201) 580-6588

What they are saying: We are chocoholics. We love dessert. The flourless chocolate cake & brownies were unbelievable, and the cupcakes were gone so fast I couldn't tell you. Homemade whipped cream, a great cake topper, and a pleasure to deal with, if you're ordering dessert you should be speaking to Despine. Simple. Awesome.

What they are saying: Best Donuts in NJ! This place is passionate and creative when it comes to their beautifully made donuts from their classic glazed donuts to their artisan maple bacon donut (one of my favorites.) Definitely go in the morning because their selection runs out and they have special donuts on the weekend like the Italian rainbow cookie (it's a must to buy.) When I visited this spot they had Reeses's, snickers, cannoli, red velvet, etc. So many choices!!! I definitely recommend this spot to anyone who is a donut lover like me!

The Tres Leche dessert was great too. They have an amazing selection of desserts, cakes and pies. They also prepare food here but I didn't try any on this visit. I'll be sure to be back soon.

What they are saying: Zai's is amazing!!! When you walk in you get the cute little dessert shop feel with black, white & red decor. The staff was friendly, attentive & helpful. My brother and I got cappucinos - his iced, mine hot & they were smooth (and offered with almond milk which was a huge plus for me) and delicious. I had a macaron that literally melted in my mouth and my brother had the s'mores bar which I ended up taking half of because it was so good. I'm so happy to have this quaint little place to grab a pick me up in town!

What they are saying: This restaurant was great! Went for dinner with a friend on a Tuesday night. The place is BYOB which is pretty cool because we bought a bottle of wine a couple stores down. The waiter was so very nice and helpful as well. He immediately opened our wine and served to us. We were not sure what to get for appetizers so he brought us out a complimentary empanada to try! It was delish!! The food was great, dessert was good and the place is beautiful. I'm new to the area and have now been raving to all of my patients, friends and family about Emma.
