The absolute best pastries in the area. Great selection and made with quality ingredients. Traditional and modern choices. Excellent special order service.
Recently used catering service. Amazing all around.
The only reason 4 stars for service is because of the new hires running the store alone in Somerset. Hopefully they learn quickly and become as efficient as the regular staff ❤️

Hamburger Cake for Memorial Day 3
They make the best cakes! I have been only ordering custom cakes from La Bon and they have never disappointed me. The communication is very easy and they respond very quickly. Here are some samples for different occasions.

I recently had an unfortunate experience with La Bon Bake Shoppes in Somerset, and it pains me to write a less-than-glowing review after seeing all these great reviews.
I had pre-ordered a cake online for pickup at the Somerset location well in advance. Unfortunately, upon arriving at the specified time for pickup, I was informed that there was an error in the order, and my cake was actually waiting for me at the Edison location, a 20-minute drive away. This was incredibly frustrating as I was on my way to a party and couldn't afford the time to travel in the opposite direction.
With no other option, I had to settle for one of the pre-made cakes available at the Somerset location. The associate who assisted me seemed stressed and mentioned that such errors had occurred in the past. This raised concerns for me - if this has happened before, why hasn't it been addressed and corrected?
To their credit, the associate did offer me a discount on the pre-made cake, which was a small consolation. However, the overall experience left me feeling inconvenienced and disappointed, especially since I had initially chosen La Bon Bake Shoppes for the specific flavors and customization I had ordered online.
The pre-made cake I ended up with was decent, but it lacked the personal touch and specific flavors I had originally selected. While I appreciated the discount and the effort to make amends, the inconvenience caused by the mix-up was significant, and it left me questioning the reliability of their online ordering system and the efficiency of their internal communication.
I hope La Bon Bake Shoppes takes steps to rectify such issues in the future to ensure a smoother experience for customers who choose to patronize their establishment.

La Bon was one of the two cake vendors we were able to order from and while we initially chose them because they were closer to us for our tasting, we loved how good their cake was. I'm not a cake person, but the vanilla was so moist and paired well with a lot of their fillings and butter creams. We did the take home tasting and they gave us so much cake and different filling choices we had so much fun coming up with the different combinations. Ultimately we went with a vanilla cake with mango mousse (so unique!) and vanilla buttercream. It was a hit!
Excellent cakes!
I recently purchased two cakes and both were delicious. Everyone loved the freshness and the moistness. However; the carrot cake was awesome! One more thing, the front line customer service was excellent
It's one of the best cupcakes I've had in a long time. I got the caramel, coconut cupcake with delicious cookie, coconut, and chocolate buttercream. The cookie was delightful, and the coconut flakes added a nice texture when combined with the light buttercream and moist vanilla cupcake. The added caramel inside the cupcake also added another yummy layer. The customer service was average and an atmosphere that is on par with your general bakery decor.
Breanna and the La Bon staff were so easy & amazing to work with! The cake testing was amazing (and at home, so this introvert was GRADE A EXCITED). Breanna took our visions and made such an elegant cake, that people still talk about how delicious it was! We were lucky enough to have the cake included in our venue cost, so if you have that option, TAKE IT! We got married at The Ryland Inn and I recommend La Bon for any couple getting married there.
