Cocoluxe Fine Pastries

My husband & I have been customers for over 15 years now. EVERY single year, I only have one wish on my birthday: a vanilla bean cake from Cocoluxe bakery!! It’s the BEST gift in the world and every year I look forward to it. There’s something incredibly special about pure perfection in the simplicity of this cake. If ever Cocoluxe closed or changed their vanilla bean cake recipe - I think my birthday celebrations would be over entirely. Beyond the vanilla bean cake, this little bakery is the most charming spot for meeting up with a friend for coffee and enjoying a fresh pastry! Oh how I love this darn vanilla bean cake… sheer heaven in every bite!!!

Cocolux has the best pastry , cakes and cookies. They are my go-to place for exquisitely decorated cakes for special occasions and for a cookie when my sweet tooth acts up. Paula, the owner is a charm to work with and really knows the combination of flavors that blend to make the best of all desserts. Our family highly recommends this fine pastry shop for sweets and food.

Absolutely delicious! Real European style pastries, not overly sweet and very appetizing. This is a place I will go out of my way for. As a matter of fact, I did this last time also. And I live in CT!

Amazing little place that focuses on French pastries and then some. There is no question about it that the quality of these baked goods are top-notch and I always look forward to visiting when I can. It’s great to see a bakery also making fresh sandwiches and soups on the daily. Because this is a review and an opportunity to share feedback, I would like to take advantage in point out that they have to do something with how they control their queue to order and pay. The space is not huge, and I even thought about it myself, but if you get customers that don’t know the system, they can cause a roadblock very quickly, making it very hard to maneuver in the bakery. I encourage you to try it for yourself. You can forget about eating when it’s busy. Just my preference, but I love to order and grab a seat outside when the weather is nice.

I came here today looking for some real food and not just sugary excess. I am delighted that I did. I ordered a quiche which turned out to have bacon in it. I returned it (because I am vegetarian) and the business graciously did not charge me for it. I ordered a cappuccino and a blueberry muffin (which soon brought its twin after it). Very few establishments get coffee right and I have to say this is one of them. The muffin was just the right size, was filled with fruit and had very little added sugar (sure felt like it). I will definitely visit again.

We had a nice walk through the park next-door, then picked up cappuccinos and croissants at this bakery. The cappuccino was ok. But the chocolate croissant was good. I’d come back for sure to try a few other things

We had lunch here and had a cake tasting for my daughter’s wedding. The atmosphere is that of a French coffee shop. The pastries are lovely and I loved my croissant. The coffee is self serve and very good. My daughter had soup and a lovely sandwich. Great spot for coffee or to meet a friend. The wedding cake for our daughter’s wedding was two layers. Carrot cake and lemon & raspberries. It was as delicious as it was beautiful! The price was very reasonable and so was delivery. Highly recommend.

Great French pastries and coffee drinks. We often stop here for coffee break when we ride bike.

A cute cozy cafe offering delicious deserts and some breakfast choices ( soups and sandwiches ) we stopped here to get the flourless chocolate cake and I had some passion fruit truffles it was delicious !

Very nice cafe/bakery in a quaint town. I came on a Sunday morning and they were very busy. Limited seating inside. Their cappuccino was very good too.

I've been coming here for almost 20 years now. Food is amazing from the soups to the cakes; coffee too.

I have very fond memories of this place. I used to come here with my Mom on a day off from school to have their delicious soups or enjoy a cup of coffee. I love their cute indoor seating, and if the weather is nice, it's good to sit outside too and watch the cars go by. I recommend the pistachio cookies and pignoli cookies.

I don't think there is anything at CocoLuxe I wouldn't like lol. Everything I have had from there was delicious. I only wish it was low calorie! It's a cute place and always bopping with tables outside if you want to have a pastry and cappuccino and relax. I had a birthday cake made there for my brother's bday and it too was a hit! Nothing here will disappoint.

Ham and cheese soufflé the crust is tender. It has just the right amount of ham and cheese. So delicious! The coffee has the best aroma and even a better taste. Cheers Cocoluxe'

I have to agree w some of the negative reviews on here. It's a bit hit or miss. Some of the pastries are more on the bland side- like the blueberry muffin and cinnamon roll. The almond croissant and ham and cheese croissants are recommended. I wouldn't get the raspberry and cheese danish again- nothing special. Line is usually long but moves quickly. Everyone that works here is very friendly and helpful so that's why I'm giving it 4 stars. There are a few tables outside where you can enjoy your pastries and coffee.

Cute bakery in a small town. We always come here after walking at the nearby park, Natirar. Every time, we are surprised at how low the price is. We got two hot coffees, two chocolate chip muffins, and a biscotti for less than $10. If it's nice out, there are a few small tables to sit at outside.

This is a great French bakery. My favorite selections include the savory scone (which includes hints of rosemary, and pieces of ham) and any of their croissants. Chocolate croissant is perfectly flaky with a great amount and f chocolate inside. They make various coffees there, including my personal fave, an Americano. At lunch time they have pre-made sandwiches on their baked bread. Hands down the best is the roasted vegetable sandwich on focaccia - perhaps one of the best prepared ahead of time sandwiches I've had. If they have them, the chocolate mousse mice are worth a try.

Found this place on a bike ride and considering the name + ritzy area I expected everything to be way overpriced. In fact the pastries and other baked goods were quite reasonable, and tasty. There was a bit of a line on a Sunday morning but that's to be expected.

We love to go to Coco Luxe for special occasion cakes. Our go to is the old fashioned chocolate. Very good ...even a week later when we have leftovers! We also love to pick up pastries and cookies which are always delicious and decadent. The service is always wonderful too.

An absolute gem, located in tony Peapack/Gladstone. Exquisite pastries that almost should be showcased in a fine jewelry salon. They go seasonal when appropriate, so expect apple and pumpkin flavors this time of year. Park across the street, grab some snacks and coffee, then head north from the lot-follow the road until you reach Lake Road and turn right-it's one of the most scenic drives in NJ.

Thankful for CocoLuxe for making the most perfect gender reveal cupcakes for my husband and I. We wanted to do something smaller just between the two of us and the staff helped steer us in the right direction. The cupcakes came out perfectly and were absolutely delicious. Thank you for helping us celebrate!!

Just simply cannot understand how a bakery that sells a custom cake for hundreds of dollars "writes" on it in this way. I'm feels disrespectful and is upsetting. Makes me not want to go back.

The best bakery around, hands down. I always go here to buy my staff an unnecessary amount of pastries but also go to satisfy my own sweet tooth. They have a wide assortment of cookies, muffins, cakes and even sandwiches and soups. Their prices are fair and worth every penny. My favorite item is their chocolate chip cookies; they're like eating a stick of butter! Deliciousness. Their cakes are beautiful and you can purchase pre-made ones from their display case or custom order one (just don't be that person who expects a custom cake on the same day, because they can't do that). If you're in the neighborhood or passing through on Rt. 206, take a detour here for coffee and sweets. You won't be disappointed.

Every aspect of our experience was very good. The only "negative" is that it's not cheap...but you definitely get what you pay for. Treat yourself and you won't be sorry.

Perfectly decent coffee shop in a small (rich) town. They have coffee in the canister that is not hot. They serve sort of a bitter brew. I threw most of it out. Patties are good. I don't plan to return.

I have tried CocoLuxe in the past and their pastry has been fantastic. Recently I had to order a cake pretty last minute for a wedding for my brother and new sister. We had about two weeks to go and I stopped in for tea and thought I would inquire about cake. Everyone was so nice and accommodating and when I spoke to the head baker, her love of cakes and decorating was infectious. I was instantly sold on her work and we talked about flavors and what works best for an outdoor wedding reception in Queens where I would be driving the cake. I ran the details by the bride, groom and my mom who all were happily on board. We picked up the cake this Saturday morning. It was beautiful and then boxed in a way to ensure that would protect her beautiful confection. The cake was a show stopper at the wedding. It was frosted in white buttercream and had lace made of Golden gum paste. The gold matched the golden details on the bride's Sari and we bought a flower topper from a local florist to add to it. Inside the cake was a moist vanilla spongecake and fresh strawberries. It was creamy, sweet and refreshing. Our whole family is so appreciative of the crew at CocoLuxe and cannot wait to visit again!

The savory scone and breakfast pizza are out of this world!! Worth a stop whenever I'm in the area

OMG. AMAZING! Everything there is incredible. Beautiful setting and a small cafe with great ambience. Pricey, but worth it.

Best Almond croissants bar none! Coco luxe is so out of my way but the almond croissants are so worth the drive!!!

Want to really like this place since not many bakeries around here. I've tried three different cakes from here and all were just a bit below average with the carrot cake being the best out of the three. They are just really dry without any good flavor and I don't care for their icing although they do look pretty. The savory scones have been good. Not sure if they don't measure properly but have gotten their sweet scones on different occasions and they just taste overly salty like drinking ocean water. Macaroons were on sweeter side and don't really taste much but sugar. Chocolate croissant was also just ok.

Outstanding! I ordered a flourless chocolate cake. Real artistry in decoration...but also best flourless cake I've ever eaten and that's saying something. It doesn't get better than this. This will be my go-to pastry shop from now on. Easy curbside pickup. Please support this business!

I want to update this review that I spoke to the owner and it turns out the staff was unable to hear the other guys racist comment. When I pointed this out she was equally disgusted. I still want to leave it up because it's terrible these type of people are in and around peapack Gladstone So this just happened. While at CocoLuxe an Asian customer accidentally stepped in front of a Caucasian customer, who turned to him (in front of the staff and others in the store) and said "this isn't China you stepped in front of me. I was in line this isn't China".... I couldn't believe what I heard so I said to the customer "you can't say something racist like that to this man!." He explained to me it wasn't racist that he travels to China and this is what "they" do in their culture. ....Just really sad in my view.

Dropped my son off at a local complex to go caroling with his chorus and decided I needed a little local flavor. Stopped in at CocoLuxe and ordered a chai latte and a couple of biscotti (pistachio-orange and hazelnut). Small shop with small tables, but they seem have a strong local following for so late in the day. The aroma coming from the mace was great and the soup I saw at lest three people eating looked great. I'm not normally a 'chai latte' kind of guy, but it seemed like the way to go and it was delicious. The biscotti were a little small, and a bit pricey, but both flavors were home runs. I don't frequent this area very often, but if I did I could see this as being a great place for Wifey and I to hang out and enjoy a sweet treat.

Best bakery in area. Pricey but high quality. Croissants especially almond are perfection. Also baguette sandwiches for lunch are available. Wide variety ofcsoups including dairy free optoons. I stop by regularly to meet friends and sit at bistro tables outside. Dog friendly.

I ordered a cake and they brought out the wrong cake. They finally found my cake but they did not put any decorations on it. It looked like a cake you would buy in the food store. Use another bakery.

One thing is more delicious than the next. Great soups also. The employees are very nice.

Always friendly and the most delicious cakes, pastries,soups and sandwiches. Sandwiches are excellent and quite well priced! A favorite place and I will find any excuse to end up there!

OBSESSED is an understatement. Raspberry tart, lemon tart, Mexican got chocolate, veggie sandwich and chocolate oranges I can personally vouch for and give it a big YUM!! My doggie clients are obsessed too and I think they should start selling doggie biscuits. Camp Becca

A very cute and popular local bakery. If you know what to order they have some great stuff. Highly recommend the flourless chocolate cake, the tiramisu cake, any of their quiche, and the soups. The kouign amann on Saturday are also great. Croissants are on the verge. Dough flavor is good but they're chronically undercooked and need to be popped in the oven to get them properly crisped on the outside. Avoid the sandwiches at all costs. I picked up a "Turkey Gruyère" and it is confusingly bad. A soggy and bland combination of wet turkey, baby spinach, nondescript cheese and a flavorless honey mustard. I would have been much better off making my own. Learn from my mistake - get a quiche and a soup for lunch and you'll be happy!

I drove past this famous local place for eight months before finally going through its doors. I did get some amazing previews from things that were brought home by other people but that does not provide the experience of what it is like to be in the store. The selection of offerings is large and the freshness is quite amazing. There are even a few seats inside to share some treats over a cup of coffee or my recommendation of hot chocolate!

Convenient, in town location (NO COMPETITORS . . .Hello out there). Cute ambiance, pleasant employees, VASTLY overpriced, and taste is hit or miss. For example, we paid $4+ for an almond pastry and couldn't decide whether the butter used has been burned, or whether it had too much egg. Simply not good. Nowhere else to go nearby. Limited hours. Would like to see longer hours, lower prices, etc. but, a management judgment. . . not mine.

Finally got the chance to grab some pastries at CocoLuxe after seeing my friends post pics of their treats on social media for years. It absolutely lived up to the hype. I got there about 30 minutes before closing and there was still a great selection. The pumpkin baked goods were all sold out but to be expected at the end of the day. There was a line on the street but it moved quickly and the staff was super friendly and efficient even with the jerks behind me who didn't GAF about social distancing or being polite. We had chai macarons, great. Chocolate chip cookies, amazing and 2 tarts, key lime and pumpkin meringue, that were out of this world. It's out of our way but we will definitely make the trip again for a special treat.

ordered cupcakes that were extremely disappointing. The base of the cupcakes were hard and the icing wasn't the smoothest as well. I had been there previously and tried one of the cupcakes and it was great. owner tried telling me they were baked fresh that day but I have been in the bakery business ( didn't let her know) and I know for a fact it was not baked that day. Tried giving me a store credit but I refused because I won't be back- I also bought a cake altogether cost me $75- not worth it

Hands down one of the best bakeries in NJ ! Not only the selection of baked goods sweet & savory, how Amazing is their staff ! Warm, prompt and courteous. Not only am I a customer for my private events but I have had breakfast done by them for my elementary school and the staff cannot stop complimenting. Paula & her wonderful team are doing such a fantastic job ! We love cocoluxe and we keep going back for more !

They make the BEST macaroons!! Anything baked here is fabulous but I took some stars away for the sandwiches. I got a veggie sandwich that was dry focaccia with a slice of moz, zucchini, an unsuccessful attempt of a red smear and portobello mushrooms. After removing the mushrooms and half of the bread, the flavor of the sandwich was good, just not satisfying or as expected.

We visited this place few months back and really enjoyed the food.. We had their croissant & different types of baked goods.. I didn't like the soup much but everything else is great in this sweet little shop.. do check it out!!!

You'd probably need to leave the continental United States to find a place that makes better pastries.save a flight to Paris and come here instead

My Husband and I have been her a few times. The staff is cranky and rude. We used to like coming here and would stop midway on our bike ride for a bite to eat. After a bad experience with the cranky staff last fall we decided to give them another chance this past Saturday. We arrived at 3:30 and tried to place an order for 2 sandwiches. The older staff said, the kitchen was closed. Prior to our leaving for this planned stop we checked the website and it was posted hours until 4 pm no where does it state that the kitchen closes early nor is it stated on the sign on the door. The older woman told me the kitchen closes a 3:30 and she told my husband it closed at 3:00. I have never been anywhere else where people have such bad customer service. This is order at the counter service only. I don't mind paying for quality food but $2.50 for a one inch cookie is ridiculous. I will not be back here again. I will go around the corner to Gladstone Market for a sandwich and coffee.

Cocoluxe is one of the area's most beloved little establishments. We love to sit with coffee, a pastry, and a newspaper chatting, running into friends, loving life and just watching the world go by. The food here is casual but elegant and often decadent, offering scones, croissants, cookies, cakes, fine pastries, soup and sandwiches at lunchtime. Cocoluxe is a local institution, a stopping point for Saturday cyclists, a Sunday morning meeting place and the center of life in Peapack.

My friend and I stopped in for coffee and after seeing the pastries I ordered 2! Best tasting and such a variety!! I felt they were very reasonably priced and the service this morning was fast. Highly recommend if you're nearby to stop in here. They also have outdoor seating to enjoy people watching.

Food and pastries are exceptional. In the morning the service may be a little slow but just leave a little extra time. Not to be missed. Good resting place for bicyclist and runners in Peapack/Gladstone

The pastries are good but what really stands out for me are the soups. They change almost every day so it's hard to recommend one. They usually have three or four. Makes a satisfying lunch with a piece of bread! Or a sandwich.

I ordered my baby's first birthday cake from this place and it was amazing. Not only it looked good but it tasted great. Each and every guest loved it. I highly recommend this place. Great service! great food!

Wonderfull place such a treat every time we stop for coffee or something more. Pastries are all delicious amazing croissants breads cakes

I walked in to pick a ready make cake. The chocolate cake was way too sweet. Very busy place though.

My only complaint is that the food is too delicious to be so far away from our home in Bergen county! We were seeing the alpacas at Bluebird Farm down the road and stopped in to warm up. What a delightful little French cafe! Of course the pastries and cakes are beautiful and delicious but don't forget the soups and quiches too.

The secret is out--Coco Luxe patisserie is not just for the hoi polloi of Peapack-Gladstone anymore. It's now one of the prime destination stops for my low-down bicycle club. The arrival of three or 4 disheveled, sweaty, hairy-legged guys in lycra spandex doesn't raise an eyebrow here. At least, not among the staff. The French pastries and filled croissants here are amazing. You must try the beautiful prickly pear tarts. They also prepare great soups and baguette sandwiches for lunch. Why would I eat andouille jambalaya or spicy roasted corn chowder during a hot, grueling 50-mile bike ride? Because it is frickin' delicious.
