Cait & Abby’s Daily Bread

When I first stumbled across this cute little bakery I couldn’t help but slightly fall in love with the atmosphere. I’ve always loved supporting small business and it seemed like a good opportunity to try this instead of Starbucks which happens to be right next-​door.
The first time I went was mainly for breakfast since breakfast at Starbucks is a tad expensive I was hoping for something fresh for a little less money. I ordered their soft scrambled egg on the Challah bread with cheese and was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious!!!
The second time I went I figured I could give their desserts a try and was pleasantly surprise yet again when I ordered the cherry strudel. My girlfriend ordered some of their sugar cookies and in my opinion they were a tad stale and weren’t as good as I had anticipated. I would stick to the left counter if you are looking for something better tasting and stay away from anything that’s in the sugar cookies and beyond to where the cupcakes are located.
The customer service as far as I’m concerned is not horrible but is not that great either. I felt like they could’ve paid more attention especially considering that there wasn’t that many customers in the bakery to begin with. Also it wouldn’t hurt to crack a smile and try and show some type of enthusiasm to be there. This staff definitely can use a bit of a pick me up when it comes to all-​around happiness.

Stale cookies and cupcakes. Place looked dirty and worse was that I was the only person in the bakery and the 3 people behind the counter didn’t acknowledge me at all. Rude service and poor quality food. Take your business to Cedar Ridge Café or Able Baker, great food with amazing service.

Was about to buy two quiches for a friendsgiving after I got off the train.
Asked to use the bathroom beforehand.
They said it was only for customers.
Well. I’ll never be a customer again.
Well played cait&abby.
Can’t wait till Starbucks takes over your space.

I purchased two cupcakes from this bakery today and I regret having done so. These cakes were stale and the icing awfully disgusting! I took just one bite from each and had to discard them. I’m going to continue sending Supreme Bakery in West Orange my business.

This place is so cute and conveniently located by the train station but it’s also expensive and the staff are incredibly unfriendly! They never smile, are really surly and inattentive.

I live right near this place and have tried a wide variety of their products. You’re better off going to Mara’s, which has a broader menu that is of much better quality.
Most things at Cait and Abby’s are dry and not worth the money. The staff is rude and the store does not allow returns for poor product quality.
Luis, the manager that I dealt with, is rude and arrogant — not a great set of characteristics to display to what was once a loyal customer.
Life is too short, go to Mara’s and save yourself the aggravation.

The spinach quiche is perfection… The customer service however, pales in comparison; specifically from the the older woman with the heavy make-​up who works there in the mornings. It’s so sad that a customer has been lost because she is unwilling to acknowledge a simple «hello», «thank you» or «have a nice day». I’ve seen her be very cordial with other customers, I guess she is just selective. She may need sensitivity training. Never going back… Customer service is EVERYTHING!

Iced tea was ok. Cupcake totally a disappointment– tasted like the fridge, dry, crumbly, and frosting had no flavor. Go across the street to Ashley’s bakery counter and get a huge fresh cupcake for the same price. The guy behind the counter was nice.

Having been here many times in the past, it was disappointing to be let down with such an important order. I ordered a cake to celebrate my cousin’s graduation because I have genuinely loved getting orders taken care of here. Sadly, when I went to pick it up it all went down hill. They didn’t seem ready for me to pick up the cake although I had worked out a 3pm pick up time. When they brought out the cake, none of the decoration ideas [a grad cap and diploma] I had discussed when I ordered it were on the cake… just a sad blue border and words. I brought it to their attention and was met by a quick «no, this is what you ordered» as if I would want to shell out money for a cake with just writing on it. I urged them to find the order slip which indicated what I wanted. They brought it back to who I can only presume was the baker, and after five minutes the cake emerged with decorations drawn on as if done by a two year old. I was so frustrated but not in the mood to start up a dramatic rant, so I paid for the damn thing [making sure I got a discount] and left very upset. I then had to run around to find graduation decoration items that could help save the cake… thank goodness for Party City!
Pros: the cake was tasty and well baked!
Cons: very limited in decorating abilities. not strong in customer service. a bit let down by the new management.

I have a sweet tooth. I would floor you over if you got in between me and my sweets. So imagine my delight when I found this beautiful little shop right next to my train commute into NYC? It was short lived.
Employees: I get it. It’s early in the morning. You probably have to deal with a lot of customers. But would it kill you show some emotion? If you don’t want to show any signs of life, fine. But how about a little friendliness so that I don’t regret giving you service at the store?
Pastries: Very good. I can’t hide my excitement when I see them put my delectable desserts into that white pastry bag. I’ve had it all. Brownies, cookies, cannolis, cakes, pies, etc. Their muffins are to die for. Surprise surprise, a bakery gets the desserts right, which is the most important part.
Price: A bit pricey but when you’re craving the sweets, your head tells you that it will all be worth it. And sometimes, it is.
Conclusion: Worth at least one visit to get the full scope.

Stopped by today. The young man behind the counter DID NOT use gloves when handling the food or pastries. He also had no idea what he was serving. When I asked what each pastry contained he looked helplessly at a woman (who was not behind the counter) who also seemed equally clueless.
Should have turned around and left.
Jesus this business needs Gordon Ramsey

We stumbled upon this bakery before attending a concert nearby at SOPAC. We had the rugala — we sampled each of the types: The chocolate, the cinnamon, and the raspberry walnut and oh my goodness gracious, they were scrumptious and absolutely delicious. I noticed a patron there who was in a wheelchair and it reminded me of how big the layout of the bakery was and I was happy that it could accommodate lots of people and those in wheelchairs. The staff were very nice. The smells drive you wild and I wanted to eat everything that was there. Next time cupcakes. Next time cookies. Next time danishes. Next time cakes. And I know I will be in sugar heaven.
And I did also notice sugar alternatives too.
Whew!

Unbelievably terrible. The first few times I’ve been, it wasn’t even decent. The pastries are dry and bland, and we got a cake for a friend’s birthday and the frosting was just atrocious. However, it’ll never beat the time (and the last time) where I saw a cockroach in the sugar packets in a cup. I took my card back, told the lady the situation, and she simply dump a few packets into the sink (along with the bug) and put it back. I was just appalled that this place is still opening its doors. The staff is extremely unfriendly and miserable, the pastries and goods are not good, and obviously, unhygienic. Never again.

The bread /​rolls… A–
The Danish /​muffin… B
The staff personality… F
The most unfriendly morning staff I have ever encountered. Zero joy, happiness or early good morning welcoming karma.

It’s a bakery that toys with your emotions on all levels. The pastries are all very good, but at the same time pricey for what you get. The cookies are great and probably the best thing they have. The coffee is overpriced and mediocre at best. The staff is always less than helpful. It’s tough to not like it but they’re really doing their best to turn people off.

God forbid you ask what a pastry is or consists of. Employees there are so rude and unwelcoming. While NONE of the pastries have labels, the young female associate with glasses responded rudely when I asked what something was. Yet I wholeheartedly believed she didn’t even know what was in some things.
Me: «Oh and what’s this?»
Her: «An almond Danish.»
Me: «That’s it. Just almonds?»
Her:“Yeah.“
One bite later I found out the inside was filled with cinnamon and sugar. I didn’t want anything with cinnamon and sugar…
Past visits made me understand that their goods were subpar. But a simple annoyance like this makes me ask myself why I should ever come back.
This prime spot in town should go to a business that cares about it’s customers rather than gives them the evil eye upon entry.

It is either disappointing or surprisingly great. The latter only applies to cookies from my experience. Sadly the owners can’t deliver despite the prime location and inviting store. What a shame…

I just don’t think they try. Unfortunately, it’s the only place around to get a small snack when waiting for the train. I don’t know how they survive other than just out of convenience.
The employees are zombie-​like and clearly don’t care about customer service.
Everything I’ve tried here is stale-​ish, greasy, flavor-​less. I don’t understand how baked goods can be so awful. I’m not sure if they start out with awful ingredients or somehow doctor them.
I hope this place either improves drastically or gets replaced by a legit business. What a waste of space.

I love the location of this place. I meant to head to Starbucks for a change of study environment but couldn’t pass this place up when I walked by.
Very cute and they have a nice selection of fresh tasty baked goods and even more important for the task, caffeine. They have extra flavor syrups near the creamer that you can add to your iced coffee so extra stars for that!
I sat outside on their sunny picnic tables and was able to free-​load the Starbucks wi-​fi. It made a perfect morning. (Bring sunglasses) Did I mention this location is amazing? Cutest little town square feeling to it. After living in NJ for two months, this was where I started to finally feel the love.
I do agree that the management/​employees don’t seem too happy to be working. Take it from me as my mom has a bakery in California, a smile goes a long way people!

Iced Cookies: Decorated very nicely and will visually impress both children and adults. They taste a little like shortbread and work well with the icing.
Carrot Cake Cupcake: A little too much icing for my taste but moist and okay overall but I probably won’t purchase this again.
Cannoli: Almost all in the display case were cracked. The outside isn’t crispy and the filling is somewhat interesting. I wouldn’t buy this item from this place again.
I need to try their other goodies.
