1. Despina's Cream Bakery.

No address listed, New Milford 07646

Phone number: (201) 580-6588

What they are saying: It was a great experience dealing with this bakery from the start! I ordered the rose bouquet cake from Despina for my parent's 30th anniversary party. Despina is amazing! She contacted within a day of emailing an inquiry from her site. She is so professional and thoroughly reviewed all the options with me. She called me a few days before scheduled delivery as a confirmation. The cake was delivered to my aunt's house in the promised time by Despina and looked absolutely amazing and wonderfully boxed. The cake itself was oh so delicious. It was 4 vanilla cake layers with the raspberry buttercream frosting. This cake tasted so good, very moist not to sweet, with a deliciously sweet frosting. It was a big hit and unlike any other cake I've had before! I only wish there was more left over! I highly recommend using this bakery for your next event! Despina took extra care to make sure my cake turned out wonderful for the event!

2. Glaze Donuts.

358 River Rd New Milford, NJ 07646

Phone number: (201) 483-8634

What they are saying: Enjoyed my first trip to Glaze Donut. I heard about the Italian donut through Instagram and wanted to get it for my sisters birthday. I picked the pumpkin cheese cake donut for myself. Absolutely delicious. They take donuts to a new level. The store itself is in a convenient location with plenty of parking. The store is clean. The donuts are all displayed in the counter and honestly they are as pretty as they are tasty. The cashier was super nice too. She greeted me upon entering, offered to box my sister's donut for me, asked if I wanted coffee with my purchase. Everything was great.

3. A Taste of Greece.

935 Kinderkamack Rd River Edge, NJ 07661

4. Zai's Dessertery.

Phone number: (201) 771-7000

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!

5. BrainFreeze

370 River Rd New Milford, NJ 07646

Phone number: (201) 614-3225

What they are saying: Came in for Italian Ice, the Lemon Icee was really good and had chunks of lemon zest. The people I was with ordered ice cream and claimed it was delicious. The servers were super accommodating and friendly. Good stuff! Also, there's a drive thru in case you're on the run!

6. Bischoff's Ice Cream & Candy.

468 Cedar Ln Teaneck, NJ 07666

Phone number: (201) 836-0333

What they are saying: Bischoff's has been in Teaneck for as long as I can remember. There coffee ice cream is still the best anywhere. And they still make whipped cream from scratch. It's these small touches that make this place special & the best. The kitchen was immaculate. The tables were full of customers and when the customer leave, the tables were cleaned & bussed to accommodate more customers. The candy selection is abundant, but the real treasure is their ice cream. And all should be done to maintain this diamond for generations to come

7. Cool Beans International Coffee & Teas.

304 Kinderkamack Rd Oradell, NJ 07649

8. B&W Bakery.

614 Main St Hackensack, NJ 07601

Phone number: (201) 342-5383

What they are saying: I absolutely LOVE this bakery! I have been coming here since I was a child. I always look forward to coming here for some treats when there is a special occasion. I don't think I've ever had anything here that I didn't like. My favorites are the crumb cake (obviously!), the cupcakes, the chocolate fudge cake, the seven layer cake, and the petit fours. I've been trying to switch to a vegan diet so I've been cutting back on dairy, but I had to come by here tonight for my mom's birthday treat. Delicious as always. If you are on the fence, definitely give it a go. This is Bergen County's best!
