Cravings Cedarhurst Reviews
Only 4 minutes away from us - we didn’t even know this place existed! We went looking for sweets, eclairs specifically, to take to a small gathering. Lots of other great looking pastry, and cakes! We can’t wait to return. Patient and friendly workers. Kids welcomed and given time to browse and make their selections. Accessible♿️. A few tables outside to enjoy your goodies 🙂 Street parking and additional parking lot nearby.
WOW! What a GREAT STAFF! Pleasant, helpful, the BEST! Coffee is also served alongside the BEAUTIFUL DESSERTs.
Best vanilla sheet cake in NJ. I ordered a vanilla cake and icing sheet cake for my grad party and I cannot stop thinking about it, it was that good. The cake is so spongy and the icing is delicious. I will probably drive back to get some cupcakes because their baked goods are so amazing. Cannot recommend this place enough

The chocolate covered strawberries and valentine’s day cake were amazing!
I've been a customer for over 29 years, and CRAVINGS DESSERTS is simply the very best. From their coffee/espresso to vanilla cupcakes with out-of-this-world icing, to the chocolate hand-dipped strawberries, and everything in between, you won't find a better bakery around. It's a family business that takes pride and care in their offerings. The staff is stellar! Here's to another 30 years!
Hands down, best peanut butter chocolate combo cups/ball I've ever had in my life. My hubs and I hid the box from our teenagers. I've had the cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and brownie cookies. All really great. Highly recommend. The service was above and beyond as well. They even wrote to keep cold on 1 box, which was really helpful. Thank you, Cravings!
Oh my Goodness! Stopped in today while looking for another place. What a happy accident. I purchased a few different items to try. A lemon cookie, a vanilla scone and a sugar cookie with icing. Best lemon cookie ever, rich and flavorful without being too rich or too tart. The vanilla scone ...made me want to get back in the car and drive the 45 minutes back to get more. You can tell the quality of the ingredients with each bite. Definitely fantastic quality and taste, you will not be disappointed.
Try the tea cake. Coconut, pistachio, whatever they have
The croissants are the same as if you are standing on a street in Paris. They are that good. And the scones are also to be highly highly recommended. Excellent, exciting quality bakery
I love a good bakery, and this place fits the bill. Small place but lots of good stuff. I picked up a peanut butter brownie ( excellent). An oreo brownie ( very good ), two vanilla scones ( my mom and I love them ) and a apple/cranberry muffin ( also very good). They had a peanut butter pie looked good but saw it as i was leaving ( next time).
I ordered half a vanilla with fresh strawberries and custard filling sheet cake with a cute bear for bear Baby shower theme...This cake was absolutely delicious!!!!! Fresh strawberries, icing not to sweet, cake is moist and tasted gooood & freshly baked!! It was an absolute hit at my sis babyshower.. everyone wanted to know where it was from and I gladly gave them the info. This cake was def 1 of the stars of my event...Thanks so much!!
Amazing baked goods, and wonderful people. I no longer make desserts for my dinner parties. I serve their cookies and everyone always wants to know where I got them. I love this place. A true gem.
Jan & staff are wonderful; she can bake any custom order within reason in 24-48 hours (raisin scones & date nut bread). Love the individual cookies and the mini cakes. An Allenhurst and Monmouth County staple 1 min north of Asbury Park.
This place is a compete gem. Every single own they sell is outstanding. Was the perfect compliment to our Thanksgiving menu
First time picking up a cake here. We got the ring ding cake for my dad’s birthday and everyone absolutely loved it! It was a big hit. I’ve had people bring me their cookies before and they are also delicious. Will definitely be back!
“Old school” premium service, impeccable quality & an ambiance that makes you smile describes Cravings. Dj & the wonderfully cheerful & helpful girls there bring me back to the day when a bakery was the epi-center of a town for all things sweet. The coffee selection is fantastically fresh & reasonably priced. I start everyday at Cravings. A wonderful bakery run by people who truly care that you receive the best service, coffee & incredibly delicious baked goods. KN
I've been eating here for probably 20 years, I'm very biased and love the place. Oreo brownies, buckeyes, and monster cookie are the best. They stand by quality to such an extent that when I requested a wedding cake from them they refused me, because it'd be too far a drive and the cake wouldn't be their quality of excellence after an hour drive or so. (I'm sure it'd have been great though!)
This was my second time visiting this bakery and I definitely will be back! The crumb cake is fantastic and so are the assortment of cookies! The staff and service is excellent.

Creative pastries, friendly owners, good prices. Bagels and coffee. Cakes made to order. Excellent bakery in my opinion.
Went in to pick up a special order birthday cake that cost $70. Staff tries to be friendly tables and chairs in the location were dirty with crumbs all over it. They were standing around with no customers, but there was no cleanup. There’s no way I’d sit there and eat at this point. I don’t know if I’ll ever order a birthday cake from here again. My cake had the top partially opened and it was whipped cream with strawberries. The excuse was they didn’t want to smash the strawberries, which is understandable but as I told them you have to secure the closing on the cake. Dirt or particles could get in on the cake and it’s a high allergy season. Again, different things could get on the cake. I was looked at like I had two heads and told this is what they do. I said well you’re gonna have to figure out something because there’s no way I will accept the cake that’s not secured with no closed top on it risking my guess to eat a dirty cake. Some things are just common sense and for as much as a cake cost here which was $20 more than last year for this annual birthday cake I always get. Someone should think a little smarter instead of just expecting someone to accept whatever they say. I am not that person to just accept anything not when you’re paying for service. Cravings please do better and educate young people working for you.

I was searching for muffin lids. Their website said they have great muffin lids. Not even close. Very disappointed. Had a chocolate croissant, it was nice.
