"It’s with great sadness that I write this review. I wish I had done so years ago when Choc·O·Pain was truly at its prime. After being away from Jersey for about seven years, I came back with high expectations and memories of pastries that once set the standard. The Kouign-Amann used to be the star—beautifully buttery, flaky, crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside. Now it’s dry and lacking the rich flavor it once had. The madeleine was another disappointment: dry and forgettable. To add to the frustration, their policy of not accepting $50 or $100 bills feels unnecessary and inconvenient. The one saving grace, and the reason I’m giving them three stars instead of less, is their financiers. They remain excellent—moist, nutty, and full of flavor, just as I remembered. I truly hope Choc·O·Pain can return to its glory days, because when they’re at their best, few bakeries can compare."

"Very nice cafe. The Latte was really good (very foamy). We had the Madeleine and they were a great choice if you want something small. The music is nice and not loud. Inside and outside sitting (but outside is very small). Definitely come by if you are around."

"A dirty display case, stale desserts, unpalatable coffee, as if from a gas station, and they gave me the wrong croissant! The only thing French about it is the name."

"Loved this coffee shop! Their choc almond croissant is TO DIE FOR 🤤, flaky, buttery, and loaded with rich chocolate and crunchy almonds. And let's not forget their amazing coffee - perfectly brewed and full of flavor ☕️. Highly recommend for any coffee and pastry lovers out there! 😊"

"Got the iced vanilla latte with almond milk and it was 💯 It was almost closing time when I got there so couldn’t really try other things on the menu. It did feel a bit gloomy inside however, not sure if it was the low lights or the weather outside. Anywho, coffee was great so clearly no complaints :)"
