D’Orsi’s Bakery

They would get a higher rating from me but there’s a kid in there who charges whatever price he wants for an ordered cake. stop going because of him. I might add I had been going to this bakery for at least 18 years, but to get treated this way was just a turn off. Never had a problem with the cakes I ordered or brought, cakes were always fresh.

Awesome bakery! Every time we visit this area we have to stop here. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Best Bakery in the world. Hands down. I’m not kidding.

This was my first experience with Dorsi’s and I’m pretty sure it will be my last.
I ordered a custom Superman cake I ran across on Pinterest months ago but saved for my daughter’s birthday this month. I called the bakery (staff are really nice) and explained what I wanted and when. First, as another reviewer mentioned, they are closed on Mondays, so I had to pick the cake up a day earlier (and hide it lol) for the next day.
I must say, as far as decorating the cake, I have no complaints. It was a real show stopper, and kudos to whoever at their shop has that creativity. (Hence the 2 stars.)
Now to the nitty gritty – the taste. It was awful. It was supposed to be chocolate cake with vanilla custard filling. The cake was stale, and the custard did not taste like vanilla at all. The cape (fondant) was good, but the icing itself tasted like pure butter – not butter cream frosting, just butter.
At $ 85 for a 10″ round cake, I was really expecting something very edible. Total fail.

This has to be the best cake I ever had chocolate and white with cannoli filling yum. I told all of my friends about this place a must go 2

This bakery was good back in the day. I keep going back hoping that it would be as it once was, but it only gets worse.
Last time I paid $ 8.00 for ¼ pound of stale butter cookies.
Today the brownies tasted like an old refrigerator! Gross!
The thing is there is no other bakeries around, that’s why they are still open.
Save your money and don’t go here.

I’ve had mixed experiences during my visits. The rye bread was delicious and lasted almost an entire week, while staying soft. I would say the price is comparable to that in the supermarket.
During another trip, I wanted to buy some pastries with raspberries. The girl recommended one pastry which she said had a raspberry filling, when i tasted it at home, the filling was cherry (disappointing). Then I tried a «raspberry cigar», which was pretty good and did taste like raspberries and the third pastry i bought was a slice of a chocolate looking cake, which the girl said had a hint of raspberry filling inside. When I tasted it at home, the layer of raspberry was a lot more than a hint and tasted excellent. I wish the staff, more particularly, the woman I dealt with had better knowledge of the product she was selling.
Another time my husband bought an assortment of baked cookies and chocolate covered strawberries. The cookies were good, but some of the strawberries were covered in really cheap tasting chocolate and cheap sprinkles, while others were dipped in sugar instead of sprinkles. The sugar version was slightly better, but it was still dipped in the same cheap chocolate.

Good quality, but prices are a bit high.

I like this bakery. Clearly, despite some of the lower rated reviews, they’re still in business, so they must must be doing something right. I’ve never had a bad experience here. I actually just stopped by this bakery today to pick up a sweet «after lunch treat.» Yeah, my coworker and I will look for any excuse to grab a sweet goodie to satisfy our sweet teeth (not tooth) cravings after our lunch break. The worst thing I could think of a bakery selling is a dry cupcake. And I’ve had my fair share of dry cupcakes. But this bakery delivered a really moist cupcake. I tried the signature oero cupcake and it wasn’t dry at all and the icing was not overly sweet. I got a plain vanilla cupcake with chocolate icing for my husband and it just didn’t compare. So I recommend their signature cupcakes for sure! I feel I got a pretty good deal. For $ 9.00 I got 3 cupcakes (2 of which were their new signature cupcakes), a huge chocolate chip cookie and a pretty fall decorated sugar cookie. That’s less than $ 2.00 an item. The fall sugar cookie was good. The icing on the cookie (which was that colorful decorative hardened icing?) was good too. The icing wasn’t like a smack in the face of sugar. And the chocolate chip cookie was super soft. I haven’t tried any of their breads, so I can’t comment on that. But overall it was pretty good.

I travel to nj from va every 2 or three weeks. Sunday mornings it’s the first stop I make. 1 dozen crumb buns, asserted pastries and donuts and of course hard rolls. (One buttered for the ride home)
Made on site, of all the material things I miss since moving to va 22 years ago, great quality, consistent baked goods.
Looking forward to moving back in a year and I can get them whenever I want.

Our caterer recommended Steve at D’orsi Bakery to do our wedding cake and it was fantastic. At the tasting he let us try anything plus some extra combinations that we hadn’t thought of. Neither my wife nor I are lemon fans but he insisted on us trying the lemon curd and we ended choosing it for the top tier of our cake. The butter cream that Steve makes is also fantastic. It is so smooth and creamy. We received nothing but positive comments from our guests. The cake not only tasted great but looked amazing.
If you aren’t near Port Reading, NJ, Steve does the baking for Monterrey Gourmet in Bernardsville and will delivery special orders to there (which I plan to do for this weekend).

I heard about this place from my co-​workers. I should’ve never listened to them!
This bakery is not even worth 1 star. We designed our own wedding cake and had it custom made by D’Orsi. What a disappointment it was. The cake was poorly executed that it was nothing like the sketch we provided Steve (the owner). It was either they didn’t put any effort into the cake or the artist/​baker was incompetent. We really had high expectations considering how much we paid for this cake. We wrote to Steve to express our dissatisfaction, but he never replied or called us back. This is how you run a business?
We will never go back to this place!

It’s tradition in my family that we have a poppy seed loaf and a walnut loaf at every Easter. Everything is this store is delicious actually.
