Lyndhurst Pastry Shop

Best italian pastries in the area. Have a cannoli craving? Need an emergency cookies? Your mother needs italian ices, NOW? This is the place to go.
My boyfriend introduced me to lyndhurst pastry shop a couple of years ago. It was a superbowl sunday emergency. Unusual for me, I actually did not prepare something to bring with me to the party. I decided we just needed to go to a bakery and pick something up. My boyfriend said we needed to go to «his» bakery, the bakery he grew up with. As this was an emergency, I wasn’t about to argue. And they were open. We got our cupcakes (done in superbowl colors) and went to our party. They were a hit! In fact, every year for the superbowl party, it’s requested we bring these cupcakes.
Family parties, we go here for cookies. Especially Pignolis. Cannolis? Of course, here. I’ve never had the italian ices, but during the summer, there is quite a line for ices, so I imagine they’re good.
The staff there is friendly and fast. Lyndhurst, we’ll be seeing you soon! Superbowl sunday is just around the corner!

I highly recommend getting their pies especially for the holiday season. I have been getting their pies for a few years now and they are always a crowd pleaser. I usually go for the blueberry crum pie and cherry pie and you definitely need to try it.

Yeah, this is a classic. Believe it or not, I actually really enjoy the brownies here. They have more of a «cakey» texture and taste than a «fudgy» texture and taste, thus resulting in a love/​hate relationship. They tend to be dryer than normal, and for some reason I love it. The cookies here are also fantastic. Some cookies I prefer are the red and green leaf, heart, and the chocolate dipped jelly-​filled ones.
I have also tried the Cannolis, and they are great. I have only had better Cannolis in Gencarelli’s bakery in Wayne. Having said that, these blow away the majority of other Cannolis in the area.
I have never had the bread but have had the italian ice. The «yum-​yum» (vanilla) and chocolate are both very good. If coming here, I would basically stick to anything but the bread, as everything else is very much above average if not the best I have had.

By far the best Italian ices I have ever had. I had the cannoli flavor and the Roman holiday. (two scoops in one large cup) One friend got a large Italian ice and another friend got a small. All three together came to $ 5.50.

Italian ice — these are really good. If you ask for a sample they let you try it. I had blue raspberry and also yum yum which is a vanilla flavor pretty much tastes like ice cream. The yum yum is out of this world! I tried chocolate (not as good as yum yum but also tastes like ice cream) and cannoli cream (soft and had chips in it). My BF tried roman delight I believe it’s called which the lady said it was raspberry (I think) and something else I know rum was one. Highly suggest coming to try these which are homemade!
Pastry — ladies are very nice the lady my BF I got was very nice I don’t know her name but she got some wonderful memory to remember prices very helpful for some reason they don’t label the cookies with names if they had any so we went by shape and color. I found the price per pound for the cookie little much it was 12.95 I believe. They are home made so I understand it’s a little more but I see it as a little much. We got like 10 cookies for like $ 5. They were very good. The only complaint I had was things weren’t labeled cookie wise and price per pound both would been nice to have but otherwise not worth taking a star away. I will definitely be back here.
There was a sign there in the pastry that basically if you cause trouble they add $ 10 to the bill. I wish I could do that at my job.

We drive here from Bergen County a few times a summer just for the Italian Ice. It’s as good as it gets! And the flavors are awesome. they even have sugar free options! And the girls who work there are so kind and sweet. (well, the one who helped us the other night. she even gave my son a free cookie!) The bakery is outstanding. My husband is a NJ Italian who grew up on Bakery items and he swears this is the best place. Loves the cookies, and pastries. They’re open every day of the year! And they serve the «Ice» every day too. but in the summer they have an outside window where they serve the ice. I love the lemon and watermelon. They also have a yum yum flavor which tastes like vanilla ice cream. They feature about 12 flavors a day! It’s worth the trip!

The best Italian pastries in the area!
I originally came here for Italian ice, but decided to stroll inside the bakery. Ended up getting a small canoli! Which was out of this world, and I still can’t believe it’s only $ 1.20 each. The Italian ice was so different than others I have tried. I got a small cup, canoli cream flavor. It tastes so soft, you can’t even feel the coarse ice-​y water in it. Totally redefined my standards of Italian ice!

One of the best bakeries in North Jersey. I bought cakes here and boxes of cookies a number of times.

Great pastries and cookies. I think this place gets most attention from their italian ice stand which is good don’t get me wrong, but their pastries are the real deal for me! If you are looking for authentic Italian pasties that are always fresh and made to taste the way they are supposed to, then Lyndhurst pastry shop should be on your radar. I love their cannoli’s and napoleons! It is very hard to find a Napoleon made just right. Usually they have a hard thick sugar icing that overpowers a soft center and so everything falls out when you try to fork it. The worst kind is the one made with cake as the body or cracker hard flake crust and whipped cream filling… Yuck! Try the Napoleon’s here and thank me later.
As an aside, just wanted to note that the Italian ice flavors vary every time which keeps it interesting and fun, but chocolate and lemon are always in the mix which is comforting to me since I love chocolate. Also, they do have parking on the side that is convenient, but be careful as it can be a bit tight and cars are constantly going in and out with people walking and not always looking as they are fixated on their ices.

Really good Italian pastries! Greeat cookies and all is super fresh. The young guy working behind the counter is super helpful and friendly. He will give you a sample if you want to taste before buying. Parking at the side of the building.
Worth stopping by here when you are in the area.

Best pace to be! Great italian ice and it’s an amazing bakery. I suggest everyone to go there!

Best Italian pastries and Italian ice in New Jersey! I love a fine Italian cookie or pastry here and there, and this place really hits the spot. It’s usually busy, which is a great sign for business, so show patience. Family owned for years and it shows!
If you’re in the areA, stop by the pastry shop for some ice in the summertime. You’ll be back for more in no time!

I tried their cannoli and it was just okay. The filling was not smooth. It had a slight grainy texture that I did not like. I’m not Italian so I don’t know if it’s meant to be that way to give it a homemade taste or not. However, the filling was rich and there was something distinct about it, in a good way.
My idea of cannoli is the anglicized version at Whole Foods in Montclair. Smooth and full of chocolate chips.
I did not try anything else though they had plenty of items.

Far and away the BEST Italian Ice in the great state of New Jersey. We will travel to Lyndhurst with a cooler and buy it buy the quart every summer.
You HAVE to stop here and try it.

WOW this review is strictly for the Italian ice! I absolutely loved the yum yum (vanilla) and chocolate ice. So fresh and tasty. The perfect cool treat for a hot day. MUST TRY!
All the ices are made on site.

I have been coming here since I was a little girl with my dad for italian ice in the summer. I cannot say enough good things about them and the yum yum vanilla. They have plenty of seating outside to enjoy your favorite ice and don’t rush you or care if you make a mess.
The pastries are good too, my mom is always happy when we bring home a little surprise! I crave this and hope for summer all year long!

I am from central Jersey, but my friend lives up north and compared this place to Strollo’s in Belmar. I would say they are similar but would definitely choose Strollo’s first. I had Island Sunset (mix of different fruit flavors) and lemon. It’s a little bit more of a creamy ice compared to regular Italian ice. I also tried mint chocolate chip and chocolate which was good but prefer flavors like that as ice cream and not ice. Prices are too too.$ 1.50 for small and $ 2 for large. Ices can only be purchased outside but they do have benches to sit at and enjoy your ice!

Ok for those of you who know and love strollos down the shore, north jersey now has a match! This will now be my new Italian Ice spot. I love when Italian ice has a creamier texture and this place got it!!! I tried a few different flavors– roman holiday, mango, and mint chocolate chip. They were all great. I ended up with a large mint choc chip and I wanted more!!! Italian ice is only served outside. They have some benches to sit on. 1.50 for a small 2 for a large. It’s located right next to kingsland train station and u can find parking right on the street. Ps– yum yum flavor is just vanilla. I can’t wait to bring all my ice cream lover friends here!

Yummy Italian Ice at super cheap prices. $ 1.50 for small, $ 2.00 for large. Great way to beat the heat!
… I haven’t tried the pastries, just the ices.

We did not have the pastries. Didn’t even walk into the pastry part. From the window, everything looked good, but my friends brought me here specifically for the made on the premises Italian Ices. It was turning out to be a warm NJ spring day, so ices definitely hit the spot.
$ 2 will get you a large portion. This was my first time here. Figured I’d get the Strawberry Cheesecake and call it a day, but then my friend ordered 2 flavors with his large and a whole new door was opened in my ice experience. Strawberry Cheesecake and Chocolate combined sounded like it would be really good and not only did it sound good but it was good.
We sat on the bench just outside the window (you walk up to a window here to order if I didn’t mention that) and enjoyed our ices. You will see many other people around here, especially this time of year, with big fat smiles on their faces. We were 3 of those people. You can be too. Go here.
