    Their chocolate chip scones were light and had a nice crunch to it. It’s different from all the heavy and dry scones I usually see in cafes. I also ordered a vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream for a birthday celebration. It was moist and not too sweet; perfect to go with tea or coffee.

    Whatever happened to their scones?? I’ve been an ardent fan of Able Baker for their perfect scones. They have missed the mark three times in a row! Not sure if there’s been a change. I can’t comment on other items, since I used to go there only for scone.

    Should have been working out but instead I decided to come here.. sat outside in 70 degree weather with a light breeze for 2 hours...perfect weather this morning.... scones were really good.... it was really crowded and there were not that many seats available....ordered 2 cookies a scone and a drink.... solid place to stop by to get a coffee in the morning if you're in downtown short hills.....

    Able Baker truly stands out for its exceptional baked goods and delightful atmosphere. Their products are a testament to the dedication and skill of their bakers - each bite is a taste of perfection. From pastries to bread, everything is crafted with care and precision, leaving you wanting more. While the baked goods are a highlight, I did find the coffee to be on the typical milder American side. It's a minor detail, but something that could elevate the experience even further. Additionally, my only quibble was the limited space on the table for milk, and its proximity to the door. It would be wonderful to have a bit more room and a more strategic placement.

    Pumpkin chocolate chip loaf and maple latte were amazing but no bathroom was available and there was no indoor seating.

  • 5/5 Nicolas T. 9 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Good customer service, nice to kids, coffee and tea options (hot and iced), beautifully decorated sugar cookies and cupcakes and they are able to discuss food allergies.

    Our favorite local bakery - we thankfully live 15 minutes away, or we’d be here every day! Amazing baked goods - must try the cakes, cookies & pies (and scones)! We also get several loaves of pumpkin chocolate chip bread when in season and freeze so we don’t run out throughout the year!

    Got a birthday cake one evening for a next day afternoon pickup and it was ready by the next morning! Not to mention - it was delicious. Everyone swooned. The 6” was big enough for 12 people and it is so filling. That butter 🤤 highly recommend.

    Fresh food, smells so good, they are very nice and they have space to sit and eat, 10/10

    I live in Montclair, which has some great bakeries, but quite frequently go to Able Baker for pies, cookies and their delicious pop tarts. Worth checking out if you have not been.

  • 5/5 Amani A. 10 months ago on Google
    Such a great bakery! They have the best scones that I’ve ever had in my life. I genuinely never thought that scones could be moist, flaky, and addictive. The staff is also super nice; great ambience as well.

    Able Baker is one of my favorite bakeries in the world. I kind of feel like I'm stepping into a time machine whenever I walk inside –there's just something really quaint about it. They've also got tons of GF options (including delicious banana bread) and the smell inside is heavenly.

    Omg I love this place! Everything is so fresh and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend the banana bread! I also love their cookie’s they’re crisp on the edges and soft in the middle.. They’re a 10/10!

  • 5/5 Alfredo F. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing! You have to try the banana bread, it's a solid heavy brick of deliciousness! All of the baked goods were great, but the banana bread in particular was a highlight. Courteous staff as well. A must-visit!
