Thank you to La Promenade for creating a beautiful Gluten Free 40th birthday cake for my husband. The fabulous staff at La Promenade were able to bring my vision for this cake to life, incorporating all of my husband's varied interests, and were able to do this with only three days notice. Tip: Follow up on your calls and emails by going into their shop to chat directly with the kind staff!

Absolutely gorgeous custom cakes! Me and my friends had wedding cakes from this place and every cake was delicious and looked amazing! There are many options to select from! They can also make a vegan cake. My friend had a vegan cake at her wedding that was delicious. No one could tell it was vegan. Our cakes was chocolate with fruits inside. I am not a big fun of plain vanilla cakes, so we were happy to order chocolate one! We also asked for the real flowers which was absolutely gorgeous! Definitely recommend this amazing place!

Rude customer service. Avoid their online ordering system. You get a confirmation email from 9fold/HungerRush but no message from the bakery. Then the bakery does not send you any information about the delivery or if it was completed. I called two weeks later to check and they said they don't keep records that far back! I was told to call the recipient and see if it was delivered. Sorry but I don't want to call a grieving family and ask if their Shiva basket was delivered!

One of my favorite places by far! We've used them for catering in the past and I visit any chance I get when I'm in town. A morning glory muffin and a cup of hazelnut coffee helps me immediately decompress. Yes I know that sounds funny but it works. Lol. The food is half as good as the people who work there and the food is some of the best in Bergen County!
