I was referred to this place and it’s really nice. But they required 2 week reservation for a cake. The three most popular cupcakes were the chocolate raspberry, dulce de leche, & the s’mores. The Calamansi refreshing juice reminded me of passion fruit with lime. It’s not too sweet but sweet enough. They were kind enough here to give me a sample to try. Overall this was a clean establishment. The family owned business is from the Philippines. They had many cultural and heritage items on display. The maple bacon cupcake was tasted and was rated 8 out of 10. They have many special items for Valentine’s Day.

I love Florentina’s and have been there multiple times for cookies, cakes, and cupcakes. Everything is delicious. They also did my son’s custom cake. Plus they are a nut free bakery.

Excellent bakery in the Northern NJ area. So happy this opened up. It’s so rare to find a good bakery around here with this much selection.
There have several cupcakes to choose from plus cannolis, Italian cookies by the pound, tres leche cake, brownies, danishes – all made in house. The Apple turnover was the best I ever had! They also sell cakes too.
I know I’ll be back soon. Be sure to check this place out!

Incredible Bakery!! This is the second cake I have gotten from them and it will definitely not be the last! They made this VERY special raspberry cake for my birthday this year and it was phenomenal. Incredible flavor, it was moist, not too sweet, and the raspberry filling was sooo delicious! 10/10 would recommend. Love this family owned bakery. Customer service is top notch, they always go above and beyond! You will not be disappointed!

Wonderful local business with great customer service. We ordered a custom designed gender reveal cake, and everyone was very happy with how it came out. I have to say, it was really easy to work with them and very fairly priced for such a specific and detailed cake.

Florentina’s made an absolutely gorgeous and delicious custom cake for my wedding celebration. Decadent chocolate cake with caramel filling and vanilla icing. I’m not usually a big pastry person and I was so pleased. Loved that my guests with allergies didn’t need to worry!

We had our wedding in August at the Rockleigh, and we had two possible bakeries included in the Rockleigh’s package. We went with GMK Cakes because they worked with us to get us the best deal.
Nav from GMK Cakes was very welcoming, organized, and efficient throughout the entire process. We had a great cake-tasting experience. He was definitely willing to work with us to nail down the perfect cake, the perfect design, and the perfect price. He even stayed late for us for the cake-tasting to accommodate our schedule. We have the highest recommendations for him.
One thing that couples who are doing this for the first time should know: The cake that comes included in the Rockleigh package (at either bakery) is pretty basic. Most fillings and flower designs are going to cost extra. Most of the cakes that are displayed at the GMK showroom and shown in their brochure include extra features. So be careful to ask what is included in your reception package. All those realistic-looking flowers are beautiful! But they add up. We ended up asking our florist to decorate the cake instead.
GMK allowed us to have different cake types for different tiers. So we had vanilla cake for our 500 guests, and chocolate cake in the top tier for ourselves. For all tiers, we had vanilla buttercream icing, a layer of chocolate ganache in the middle, and strawberry pieces throughout.
The cake was beautiful in the end and all our guests were very happy with it. We got huge compliments, particularly on the combination of moist cake and juicy strawberries. Personally, our only complaint is that the layer of chocolate ganache was thinner than we expected. The sample given to us at the cake-tasting was rich, thick, and decadent. It was almost like biting into a slab of chocolate in the middle of the cake. It was something we were looking forward to, and sad to miss out on.
But, overall: fantastic cake, fantastic price, fantastic customer service. Definitely recommend.

Family-oriented, amazing creations and unbeatable dietary options. I love to try everything there from popular cupcakes like ube cheesecake, coconut, or dulce de leche, to cookies, lattes, and more. Easy to get to in downtown Northvale (right across the Rockland Co. New York border). So good, so fresh, and very friendly.
