Taskin Bakery

"This place exceeded my expectations. I stopped by for a late breakfast and ordered Taskin's spinach bazlama and gözleme with hot tea. Everything was incredibly rich and delicious. The pastries were wonderfully light. It's a family business, and the owners are wonderful people. The staff was kind and friendly, which made for a lovely experience."

"Avoid this place! Don’t waste your money on the cold baklava — one small piece costs $8–9, two portion is 50$ insanely!! and the other kinds are among the worst you’ll find in the area. There’s no pistachio or walnut, just sugar and milk — absolutely no flavor! Tea is overpriced too ($4 for a tiny glass). Packed products are stale and not fresh, and there’s no proper service at all. Desserts overall are overly sweet, low-quality, and overpriced — and I’ve tried nearly all of them. The only decent thing here is the börek, but make sure to buy it fresh in person. Never order for delivery — they always send leftovers. Honestly, it’s not worth stopping by. Locals don’t come anymore; only travelers passing through. The baked goods are far below the standard of any average bakery in Turkey. The place is losing its reputation fast and gives Turkish cuisine a bad name. They shouldn’t take advantage of people who simply miss real Turkish bakery food! Very sad for Turkish bakeries and businesses ethics, bad reputation."

"Terrible experience. They charged $20 for just 3 slices of baklava, and the quality was absolutely unacceptable. The inside was basically empty no pistachios, no walnuts, no hazelnuts. It was dry, tasteless, and clearly not worth the price. This feels like a rip off and extremely misleading to customers. For a food business operating in New Jersey, this level of quality, pricing, and misrepresentation is not acceptable under basic NJ food business and consumer protection standards. I will be filing complaints with the appropriate authorities. Do not waste your money here. I strongly recommend avoiding this place."
