Lo Cicero’s Bakery

Horrible. Went and pick up a few pastry. All except for the brownie were stake. Never going back.

Formerly Eat Cake Bakery (which I never got around to trying), Lo Cicero’s Bakery brings a great quality and selection to Matawan. I’ve had quite a few things from here, and they’re all top notch! From the breads to the pies to the cookies and pastries, they produce delicious baked goods across the board.
My favorite– so far!– has got to be the crumb cake. It’s got a wonderfully delicious ratio of crumb to cake, without being too heavy, too dry, or too moist. Give it a try!
Everyone I’ve encountered is always pleasant and polite. The place is clean and the cases are attractive. However, if you’re looking for their very good donuts, they only have them on the weekend! Weekdays are all about danishes and things like that.

This place use to be Eat Cake. I am from Orange County, CA and I originally ordered over 100 black and white cookies from Eat Cake to give at my wedding in February of this year as favors. They were pretty darn good and people kept asking me when I was going to order more since you can’t readily get them here on the West Coast. Well, we made a trip out to see family last week and I decided that I would buy a whole bunch while I was there and bring them back home with me. So I asked my sister in law if she would take me over to Eat Cake to place an order. She informed me that the business had recently changed hands. I was a little skeptical as to whether or not the cookies would be as good, but anything is better than the nothing over here in California, so we ran on over. The girl working the front counter was very nice. She told me they hadn’t made any black and whites that day. Bummer. But what’s that? You can take an order and have it ready by 11am tomorrow? Flippin awesome! This was a 3pm on a Saturday. Less than 24 hours for 35 cookies is some damn good turn time. So the next day my husband and his brother ran on over and picked the cookies up. They walk in the kitchen with two HUGE boxes! I panicked because I at first had no idea how I was suppose to carry all those bitches on a plane, but my sister in law had a good idea of bagging them. Phew! I immediately opened up the box and I couldn’t contain myself, I had to have one. These were not only bigger than the ones that Eat Cake had made, they were better. ALOT better. They were SO fluffy and cakey. OMG amazing. I want to attach a picture of what the center looks like. I can’t get over how awesome this bakery is. I am having a hard time over here in California fighting people off of the cookies. We bagged them in sets of four in large ziploc bags and I only have a few left! I hafta state for the record as well that these freeze great and they made it 2500 miles on a plane, in a carryon bag and were still as good as the day I got them. Thank you Lo Cicero’s. I will see you again soon!
