Cocoa Bakery

Perfect place to satisfy that sweet tooth! Came running in here last night, literally because it was so darn cold out, to try some of their delicious treats and their hot chocolate.
I don’t understand why its taken me forever to come for a visit but so glad that I did. Everything looked so good it was hard to make a decision. I went with the rice pudding and man oh man was it so delicious. Bae got the chocolate raspberry truffle and the giant cookie. Both were really yummy.
I must say everything was so delicious and staff was happy to help and answer any questions. I can’t wait to come back and try other goodies.

I was so excited to try this place but was disappointed it smells amazing when you walk in but the chocolate cupcakes and whoopie pies were stale. The hot chocolate tasted like chocolate syrup it was overly sweet. The lady was nice and the sugar cookie was okay

If you live around the area, this place is a definite must try. It’s a quaint bakery with plenty of variety. My fav has to be their cake truffles and warm butterscotch pudding. Friendly staff and charming sitting area to enjoy a nice cup of tea and some pastries. Don’t miss out on the selection of savory goods, from their quiche to scones. I barely ever Unilocal but a few places such as cocoa deserve a shout out!

Had the warm bread pudding with caramel and nuts. It was delicious!! Everyone loved it!

The warm bread pudding…
We ordered coffee, bread pudding, cake truffle and whoopie but only ate the bread pudding…
If you order the bread pudding… don’t order anything else. :)

First visit but not last bread pudding was delicious truffle cake amazing cheese cake awesome !!!

This place really is as good as it gets! Hubs & I love coming here on a Saturday morning to relax and just enjoy each other’s company, so far we’ve pretty much sampled most/​everything in their shop including ordering an incredible delicious and soft cake for our baby gender reveal! Everyone was in awe with their cake and particularly their rich and velvety frosting!
–Cake Truffles are OMG amazing; perfect layer of shell on the outside with moist cake and filling on the inside
–Cupcakes are OMG amazing too! We like to bring these cupcakes to parties because they are always a hit!
–Cappuccino-​Amazing! Hub’s favorite! (And we’ve been to Paris, Lyon and Lille France several times so he’s pretty much a cappuccino/​espresso aficionado/​addict by now)
–Their tea selection is outstanding; they use SerendipiTea and my go to is the Early Grey.
–Their quiche and turnovers are always flaky and delicious; perfectly seasoned.
–Cheddar biscuits are AMZING and oh so flaky. Be sure to get one!
–Their various selection of cookies are delicious as well, although I think their stand out gems are really their cakes.
–Lastly, if you are there on a Saturday and happen to run into a cake by the slice offering, GET ONE! You will be addicted.
Love the atmosphere, love the staff and love everything they sell in there… I could probably live there if they allowed it.

They made the best lemon-​raspberry cake for my daughter’s first birthday, and yummy little cupcakes for the favors. Six weeks later and some of the guests are still drooling over their cakes! Stacey was so helpful and friendly during the whole cake selection and ordering process too. Cocoa has it right, I tell you!
PS: These guys are the only reason why ‘losing weight’ is not on my list of resolutions for 2016.

Cute place. I liked the pumpkin whoopie pie. I wanted a slice of pie but all the pies were gone so I settled for an apple pocket pie which was extremely dry. Friendly service.

So happy to have found this gem. The building from the outside is pretty blah and I never thought much about it. One day I stopped by to check it out and found fresh, visible, ingredients, a warm welcome and excellent products. I’ve been back once a week since!

Everything here is great! We had the pecan bars and the whoopie pies and some lattes after an afternoon walk on a cold November day. Perfect snack.
I don’t know what JC would do if Cocoa Bakery wasn’t there. There are not many bakeries in JC and out of those, this is the best.
I’m going to order cupcakes from them for my girlfriends birthday.
Keep up the excellent work! You guys rock!

We ordered a vanilla cake with chocolate ganache for a birthday, and it was yummy and big! Two layers, that could easily feed 15 – 20 people? Delicately decorated, and not overly elaborate, which I appreciated. Cake was nice and flavorful, but a tad bit dry I’d say. Otherwise, I’m very happy to try something else from Cocoa’s!

I like the atmosphere in this place, I like the vintage bench they put outside. It feels so warm and welcoming in here and I truly wish we have more of cute coffee shop like this in Jersey City.
Talking about the food, cake and hot chocolate here are way too sweet and dense for me. I tend to like fluffy light weight baked goods. So this place is definitely not my thing…

We are so late in writing this review but the wedding cake they made for us at the end of August was so amazing we had to send our love! The cake was a simple yellow cake with butter cream and caramel filling and absolutely delicious!!! The design was taken from Martha Stewart and executed beautifully with my husband’s favorite flowers, blue hydrangea’s.
Can’t thank them enough for making our day extra special!!!

Absolutely delightful! Did not know this place existed but found it on Unilocal.I had the almond caramel dessert and vanilla on vanilla cupcake. They have a soft, light, natural taste but still very tasty. Will come back with my daughter again !

Love the wedding cake they made for us. So many of our guests told me how much they loved the cake. Rich but not too sweet. Also our design also stood out as something different. The black and white pic made me feel like going into the past. I am looking forward to tasting it again in a year.

This is hands down the best cupcake place in jersey city! They have a few selections of flavors but that’s what makes them unique! My hubby and I came across a small hidden gem today. My favorite was the chocolate butter cream on chocolate cupcake!

I’m so glad we have an amazing local bakery like Cocoa around. The emphasis is truly on the taste, and the results are some of the most thoughtfully crafted cakes and treats I have ever had.
Try the red velvet cupcakes! I’m addicted!

So glad I live near Cocoa Bakery! Ever since a friend recommended I go here to pick up cookies for a bridal shower, I’ve been a fan. There’s an assorted variety of scrumptious baked goods that I just can’t get enough of. My favorites are the whoopie pies, small bags of cookies and cupcakes. Can’t go wrong with the green tea whoopie pie and there’s always a variety of new cupcakes to try. Any of the chocolate cookies are worth trying too. The danger is you can’t eat just one!
Oh and they have an assorted variety of drinks as well. What could be better than a cappuccino and some freshly baked goods? FYI, the bakery is nestled in a house-​like building… just look for the sign so you don’t miss it!

Thanks Unilocal for letting me find cocoa bakery! This bakery became our favorite one. Freshly baked goodies are so delicious & heavenly.
Smells amazing when you enter the bakery, great friendly people, cute cozy sitting area!
