Belle Journee Bakery (Bakery - Princeton, New Jersey)

Belle Journee Bakery recently invited me in to try their delicious sweet treats, and there were plenty, let me tell you! There was literally pastry galore all up and down the entire shop. What makes Belle Journee so unique is that they are a self-serve bakery where you get to choose all the goodies you want and that in itself is a difficult decision, lol.

I did try a few of the pastries. The first one I had was the 'Greentea Cream Cornet,' which was probably my favorite pastry I ate here. The outer shell had a crunchy and crispy texture with a sugary coating, and the filling was super creamy.

Everyone needs to try a cream cornet

The next pastry I ate was the 'Strawberry Cheesecake Danish,' which had a great filling balance between the cheesecake and strawberry flavors. However, the ratio between the filling and pastry was a bit imbalanced for me.

Love anything that has cheesecake in it

The other pastry I also ate was the 'Fig & Brie Pastry,' which had a filling of brie cheese and fig jam, and I am obsessed with that combo. It is a chef's kiss. The only thing I wished was different with this sweet treat, was that the filling was all over, and not just in the center. However, if you take the outside corners and either dip or spread the filling on that, I am sure that helps.

The final pastry I had was the 'Cookie Croissant.' It was really good, however, I was expecting or thought there would be a cookie inside the croissant. I have not eaten one before, so I did not know what to expect, lol. However, I loved the fusion between these two!

Cookie + Croissant = Delicous

On top of that, I also tried their 'Chicken & Croffle,' which was sweet and spicy chicken on a croffle (croissant and waffle) and came with maple syrup. This was tangy, sweet, and had a bit of a mild kick to it.

Chicken & Croffle...more like oh yeah!

In addition, I got their 'Strawberry Ade,' which was a strawberry lemonade, and it was quite refreshing.

Nothing more refreshing than a 'Strawberry Ade'

Now do not forget either, but with Mother's Day coming up, you have to order one of Belle Journee's cakes or it can be for any occasion.

Just look at this delicacy! Could be yours for any holiday, event, or occasion

Besides pastries and desserts, customers can order anything from their soups, salads, sandwiches, plates, beverages, and more. Now, they have more than one location. I visited their store in Princeton, however, they have a second location in Fort Lee and a third in Ridgefield Park. If you are interested in franchising, you can find more information on their website. If you love sweet treats and are near a Belle Journee Bakery, then this is your calling to go!
