The best matcha in nj that i have tried. We come here often with my family. The place is located at the city center near princeton uni. The pastries are fresh. We have tried their cookies and cake pops and it was well liked by my siblings. Will be back again for sure and highly recommend to visit this place

Delicious! I've been looking for a place like this. The pastries are immaculate and not too sweet like many American bakeries. This is definitely based off of a European bakery. The atmosphere is clean, calming, and spacious with modern elegant decor. They offer a wide variety of pastries, drinks, and sandwiches and I feel like you can't go wrong with what you get. I got the chocolate avalanche and the blueberry cream cheese Danish for pastries, and the caramel latte for a drink. The workers are also very pleasant and quick to get you anything you need. I highly recommend stopping in here.

An organized, cute cafe with mouth-watering pastries. Most pasties are self-served and the variety is amazing. There are drinks and menu items available to order. Everything was served wonderfully.

The pastries are really fresh and airy. Loved the palmier and mango cornet! The walnut cookie looks well done but the texture is okay. Not gooey but chewy. The garlic bread has cream cheese stuffed between each slice. Def has garlic with a touch of sweetness to it.

Had my first visit to Belle Journee. I was pleasantly surprised by this unassuming patisserie. A lovely cafe with a delightful selection of French pastries and a nice menu for folks looking for a heartier meal of soups, salads, and sandwiches. A good place to bring a friend.

Stopped by for a quick visit and tried a couple of treats. They were all delicious. We tried the blueberry croissant, a vanilla filled croissant, and an almond pastry. My favorite was the vanilla filled croissant 🥐

A very warm and relaxing place to be. Especially for the weekend. The manager Kieun and her assistant Nick gave us a warm greeting and we was happy to enjoy lunch here for a beautiful Sunday. The cakes and treats were great with a score of 9 for the Matcha Latte and a 9 for the Apple mango Smoothie. The Donuts were tasty like the Lemon Curd donut and the Crème Brûlée. I give them a hard 9! Not to sweet. The lemon was chewy and light and The Crème Brûlée was very delicious. A welcoming place to be. We will be back.

My friends and I went to this bakery in search of a cake for our galentine’s event. They have a wide selection of cakes that fit our theme. We sampled two cake flavors and they were perfect; fluffy, light, and not too sweet. I recommend this bakery if you are looking for a Valentine’s Day theme cake. While I was there I tried a variety of items but the salad sausage croquette and chicken & croffle were my top picks. The salad sausage croquette was so good that I went back to get one for the road but it was sold out.😩 I will definitely be back, it’s great place to grab a quick breakfast under $20.
