And B&W, renowned for its sublime crumb cake, also makes a mean banana cream pie.

SOOK PASTRY, RIDGEWOOD
BALTHAZAR, ENGLEWOOD
RISPOLI, EMERSON AND RIDGEFIELD

Sook is a charming bakery and cafe where Ridgewood locals love to gather early in the morning for coffee and something sweet. From brioche to baguettes, Balthazar brings a little taste of Paris to Bergen with breads and pastries that rise to every occasion. At Rispoli, try the lobster tails – yes, lobster tails – but don't miss the cannoli and Napoleons.
