Brunos Bakery NYC

Everything I've had from Bruno's has been absolutely delicious! They just make really good Italian bakery items. I love their cannoli -one of the best I've had in Jersey, so far. And the Baba Rum was excellent!! Service was great and I highly recommend giving them a visit.

I planned a small wedding ceremony in 3 weeks time and this bakery was so helpful and accommodating. They made the most delicious gluten free wedding cake. As a bride with celiac I wanted to enjoy the wedding cake but didn’t want others to suffer what is typical for gluten free cake (dry, crumbly, over sweet). The cake Bruno’s did was amazing! Guests couldn’t even tell it was gluten free. And they decorated it adorably with toppers I picked out. Thank you for making my wedding desert inclusive and outstanding. Everyone loved it.

We stopped in on a Saturday from out of town. We were excited to get cupcakes and saw that they had the Food Network banner and got excited. The outside is cute, there is an area that says gelato; they don't serve gelato but it's a sitting area. The employees weren't very friendly. I had questions about different items and each time it was just "is that all". We bought a cake, Halloween cookies, fruit tarts and mini pastries. Some were meh but others we didn't even finish. I mentioned it being a Saturday because I expected the items to be fresh, prepared for the day. But the cookie cake was so dry on the inside, it had obviously been sitting for a few days. The cookies were cute but after one bite nobody wanted to finish them.

Since there is no good bakery near me I choice to try Bruno’s in Freehold. Everybody loved the pastry’s. This is my new go to place.

Update: 1 year later and they nailed it again. This time a custom "twix cake" (chocolate, caramel and crunch), and a strawberry shortcake. I will continue to go back and be a loyal customer. Love their stuff! I want to thank the bakers at Bruno's for knocking this one out of the park. My daughter loves red velvet and the color green so they made us the perfect cake. Red velvet is usually heavy and thick, but this was light and fluffy. Absolutely delicious and my daughter loved it for her birthday. Thank you! I'll be back.

Been meaning to check out this place since it opened. Finally stopped by today. Adorable inside with a wide array of all things sweet. I ordered the French cream lobster tail and a piece of focaccia. The lobster tail was quite large with perfectly done cream inside. When bitting into it the crunch was music to my ears. The focaccia was very tasty as well. I think it needed a bit of salt but I always love things a little salter anyways. Staff is very sweet and helpful. I will definitely be stopping by again.

My friends and I were hungry and had always noticed this bakery, so we decided to check it out. The building looks really nice, and the inside is clean with friendly staff. However, I wasn't overly impressed with the taste of the items I tried. The standout was the opera cake. It was something I had never tried before, but it was delicious and a pleasant surprise. Everyone loved it, making it the highlight of our visit and giving us hope for the rest of the menu. Unfortunately, the chocolate fudge cupcake was a letdown. Neither I nor my friends enjoyed it. The cake had an unusual light pumpkin brown color instead of a rich dark brown, and the frosting wasn't appealing to any of us. Would definitely not recommend We also tried a churro croissant. While I personally didn't like it due to the cream inside, my friends did enjoy it, so this might just be a matter of personal preference. The dark chocolate mousse was good but very rich and dense, typical of chocolate mousse. It didn't blow us away but was an average, decent dessert. I was excited to try the Ferrero Rocher dessert, but it was disappointing. It tasted somewhat artificial, like eating a Ferrero Rocher but with something off. It wasn't anyone's favorite and was just okay. I probably wouldn't get it again. Overall, the bakery has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, but the quality of the desserts was hit or miss for us.

Really cool building. Inside is clean with friendly staff. I was not wowed by the taste of the selection I took home. The chocolate chip cookie, lemon, and carrot I was disappointed in. The margarita cookies and 7 layer I thought are tasty. Maybe go back again to try a different variety.
