Sounds like a delicious road trip! Has the Munchmobile ever done such a trip?
I know that Peter Genovese and Company did a Munchmobile donut trip as well as one for cupcakes. I don't recall a high-quality bakery run as described by you great people.
Imagine how I feel living in Pa? My husband saw me reading the thread, and he left the room,lol. If there wasn't more snow coming in our area, I would definitely visit.
Bovella's makes amazing wedding cakes. 8 years later and I still think about that cake As for their cookies, eh not my style I cant really judge if they are good since I dont care for the bakery style cookies.
I did not care for Randazzo's in Raritan at all. I used to live around the corner and went once and never went back.
I am now convinced that there is a definitive answer to this thread: Palazzone 1960.
I went to check out the new Carlo's Bakery in Ridgewood a couple of times this week. Now their stuff is good, and there are a few items that aren't insanely priced, but most of the items are small in size and very expensive. ($19.95 a pound for ruggelach? For real?) Not to mention the crowds and parking are ridiculous.
Today I went to Palazzone 1960, and, for the same money, got five times the treats that were even better. They had chocolate dipped lobster tails today, $2.50 a pop. I am not exaggerating, each one had to weigh close to a pound. They were stuffed to the brim with custard. I haven't had a chance to try Carlo's lobster tails yet, but I did try the sfogliatelle, and while they were good, they were also $3 a pop for tiny pieces that weighed maybe 2 oz., if that.

Close the thread now. We have a winner.
I'm so glad that you love it (again).
When I originally started this thread, there was no Palazzone 1960. One day I shall take my Italian-American mother-in-law to see if it meets with her approval.
However, don't forget the try the Scone Pony this year. If you happen to go down the shore near Spring Lake, it is worth the trip. Spring Lake is such a beautiful town, it is worth visiting, especially in the spring and summer.
It's not like Palazzone, for one thing it is not Italian. But they have delicious things, too. My husband still smiles thinking of the blueberry pockets, and everything we have had there is great. It is more of a scone/cupcake/American pastry/cake kind of place. There is no place to sit down inside, though, although there are tables outside (the place is tiny).
