Belmont Bakery

This review is mainly for the service. Everything looked good, tasted fine, and prices were more than reasonable (which is why I’m giving it 2 stars instead of 1).
I stopped by after work to pick up pastries for my wife for Mother’s Day. The girl «helping» me at the counter had no desire to help me at all. Maybe because I came an hour before they were going to close? Maybe she was having a bad day? Maybe that’s just the way she is? Who knows. But this kind of customer service is unacceptable, and I would never stand for it if I saw someone doing it where I work.
Every question I asked was met with a sigh or an eye roll. I’m sorry for making you do your job. Any answer I received was answered with an attitude. One time I asked her to get something from the other side of the display, and she made it seem like it was such a chore to walk 15 feet to the other side.
I guess maybe I should thank her. I was planning on buying a lot more, but after selecting 4 pastries, I wanted to get out of there and not deal with her attitude any more. It saved me money and calories I guess.

Belmont Bakery has the greatest donuts around, bar none. As a matter of fact, I don’t even eat other donuts other than Belmont Bakery donuts. My family has been going here since I was a kid and I have never been disappointed (i’m talking over 30 years of awesome consistency). Truth is I do not remember the last time I have actually been inside Belmont Bakery, usually my dad will drop them off at my house or my co-​workers bring it into work. I will very highly recommend the Boston cream donut, powdered jelly donut, and the coffee cake. Just FYI, if you do not get here early, odds are they will be sold out.

Unfortunately I’ve never been here personally to experience the staff and their service, however I DID experience their custom made cakes and cupcakes!
During doctor’s week at work, my friend who knows a friend who works here (I know, such a mouthful) asked the baker to design cupcakes and cakes that best fit the doctor’s specialities.
I work in an office of gynecologic and thoracic specialists so it’s obvious that the gynecologic cupcakes were more entertaining than our thoracic surgeons.
We had custom made vagina cupcakes… yes it is what it sounds like. The design for these cupcakes were beyond amazing and the cupcake itself tasted even better. They were a day old since we had them picked up the night before, but the cake part wasn’t hard at all. The moisture of the cake was absolutely delicious. The cream and fondant wasn’t sweet where it was over bearing and it was just enough flavor that again, didn’t overpower the cupcake. I’m not a huge fan of fondant but having tasted it from Belmont, I can say I didn’t mind it at all.
As for our thoracic surgeons, we had a lung cake made which didn’t consist of as much fondant. The cake was frosting on the cake was light and creamy. While the frosting looked like a bit much, it wasn’t heavy at all and easily complicated the chocolate and vanilla filling.
If I had known about Belmont Bakery I would have absolutely chosen them to do my wedding cake! If there are any brides out there that are looking, this is the place to go. Anyone looking for a custom cake, this is also the place to go. Everything came out beautifully and the price was not terrible! My doctors even said this place is MUCH better than Cake Boss and I would 100% agree!
Again this review is based on the design of the cupcake/​cake and the taste. I did not experience the staff and it’s customer service or the overall presentation of the store.

Great food and great service! I love their hard icing cookies. Their coffee cake is great and I like their canolis.

My wife ordered a birthday cake for my daughters first birthday and we couldn’t be any more pleased.

Very nice, pleasant atmosphere. Sam was very helpful. Everything looks good, hard to make a choice.

I love this bakery. I have tried a lot of different bakeries and different places too, Belmont is one of my favorite. They did our wedding cake and I got my birthday cake from them last year. I have yet to complain! The pricing is reasonable and they can create really anything you want. I was very happy both times that I got something from them. If anyone disagrees, I’d be surprised.

Classic neighborhood bakery steeped in local tradition. Specialties include butter letter available round around holidays on the counter and always on request in any letter! Hubby is addicted to their perfect sized and priced muffins. And my best friend turned me on to their salt sticks also covered in caraway. And yes cakes and cookies abounding. My only complaint is their and neighbors excessive use of styrofoam for the morning coffee. Ok so I think about garbage more than most but this is a reality day after day the non-​degradables build up and then what?! Besides it’s easy to sell or use reusable cups. NYC has no room left for their trash and among their strategies was outlawing styrofoam packaging. When we consider life cycle impacts and realizing the best responses in light of the associated costs, we are performing risk management.

Meaghan at Belmont Bakery is amazing! We wanted a cake to match our wedding color scheme and it came out beautifully. We cant thank you enough! It was absolutely delicious as well. We highly recommend Belmont Bakery!

Love the Belmont Bakery they have done my daughter major events since high school. I recommend them to everyone.

Love this bakery! They have always come through on all my families’ cakes, but nothing compares to the awesome job they did with my son’s two birthday cakes! The cakes were kick-​ass! I felt terrible cutting them because they were so amazing! Best bakery ever!

I have used Belmont Bakery for well over 15 years. As a local florist located right down the road we did some work together. They mastered my wedding cake, pies for holidays, birthday cakes, and a huge fan of their cookies. Recently we ordered my nephews first birthday cake from them and the entire party was amazed! I am no longer local to them but I make the trip every time I need something delicious and beautiful!

I went hoping to get some great pastries to satisfy my sweet tooth. I was very upset. I got an assortment of large pastries, (Lobster tail, slice of carrot cake, 2 cannoli’s one choc dipped one regular, rainbow cookies and some cheesecake/​cake/​raspberry thing covered in chocolate). Very VERY disappointed.
The carrot cake was more like raisin cake, it was so full of raisins I don’t know how they call it carrot cake. The rainbow cookies were hard. The cannoli’s were just ok. The lobster tail, which is my all time favorite pastry, was only filled half way and over cooked. I could barely chew it. And the girl told me the chocolate covered item was raspberry cheesecake. Wrong! It was vanilla cake, raspberry filling and a very thin layer of something that resembled cheesecake. Not good at all.
Sadly, I don’t feel the need to ever return. Sorry Belmont Bakery, maybe you need some new recipes. I’ll continue to go to Il Dolce in Hawthorne. It’s 1000 times better.

One of the best bakeries around! Everything is fresh and yummy! The Rye bread is great and they always have the cutest cupcakes for the kids! They have very reasonable prices and their custom cakes are wonderful.

I go there for their awesome donuts! The best Boston Cream donuts I’ve ever tasted! The cream they use is amazing! Wouldn’t go anyplace else for donuts!!! Cookies are great too!

I really love all the sweets here, some items tasted fresher than others.
Always fresh:
Cookies, Doughnuts (love the sugar), blueberry tart, and the puffy apple pastry thing
The crumb cake square was fresher the first time i came here and slightly dry the last time. The french bread is nice looking a little on the dry side.
I really do think they make the BEST doughnuts out of any bakery I’ve been to. Skip D&D and come here REALLY.
The prices are also ridiculous low for the quality.

Their Danish rings are excellent. Also love their cookies

My daughter loves to cook and bake but when it comes to her birthday cakes she has unanimously chosen Belmont Bakery over all others including Carlos bakery in. Hoboken.
The cake decorator, Meagan Greig is top notch, the best decorator around.
We wholeheartedly recommend your next cake by done by Meagan.

We were delighted with the custom cake we ordered at Belmont Bakery for my son’s 3^rd birthday last week — it came out on schedule, beautifully decorated and delicious, pleasing adults and kids alike. They make a «cupcake cake», that’s composed of individual cupcakes joined together by a shared layer of frosting on top that they can even decorate with a design like any other cake. (I wouldn’t have thought that possible — trying to evenly frost a bumpy field of cupcake tops seems like a despair-​inducing challenge to an amateur baker like me – but the results were great! (See pictures.)) The vanilla buttercream frosting we chose was thick and luxurious — head and shoulders above garden variety icing — and the chocolate cupcakes underneath were scrumptious and very practical to separate from the «cake» and serve as individual portions.
The staff who took my order were very friendly and helpful. We worked off a photo of a similar cake they had previously made, and they were happy to help me customize it, changing colors and adding elements. I got a follow-​up call 2 days before pickup to confirm the details, and the result came out perfect.
I’d also recommend their apple turnovers. I had one while I was there — flaky and delicious! I will definitely come back for future special-​occasion cake needs, or just to sample their other sweets.

Friendly service, decent prices, excellent cinnamon bread. Plenty of parking.
