“This place is awesome so many options it’s just a place you have to go and see and enjoy yourself. It’s a small family owned & operated business that has been making delicious treats since 1912. The prices are also great for the handcrafted quality and flavor”
“Genevieve's don't only have the best chocolates, but coming here brings back wonderful childhood memories. My dad always got me and my sister huge chocolate bunny's when we were growing up.She would get the milk chocolate, I would get the white chocolate.Genevieves has become a family tradition. I no longer live in Garfield, but every year I go down there just to get the best chocolate for my my niece and nephews (and of course a little treat for myself ?).”

“This place could be ADDICTING!I finally stopped in after several years of living in the area. WOW!Huge selection of homemade fudge. Soft and creamy with rich flavor. I went with a 1 1/2 lb. variety box of 6 flavors. The choices are overwelming however tasting samples are happily provided by the owner. Easy on street parking. Support local business”
“We used this place for our grand opening and ordered several dozen chocolate covered strawberries in varieties of chocolate. Beautiful, fresh and friendly staff.”
“As part of the expansive American Dream mall known for its size, store variety, and event attractions, IT'SUGAR is one of the site's most memorable and fun offerings.With enough candy on shelves to feed an entire city's worth of children on Halloween night, the store's immense variety of candy and all things sweets is heavily stocked across multiple levels. Here, candies of all types, including international and vintage ones, await for eager sugar enthusiasts.As to be expected from a more event-centered storefront, pricing is more toward the expensive end.”
“I recently purchased chocolate covered Oreos and chocolate covered strawberries for my daughter's bridal shower. The Oreos were so beautiful and delicious - as were the strawberries, which were also extra-large. I will definitely order from the Chocolate Nook again. Suzanne, the owner was easy to work with and very accommodating. Super happy!”
“This place has NOT closed and is open for business. Moreover, the owner is one of the nicest and most polite persons I have encountered lately. He is quite helpful and more than willing to special order anything he doesn't have in stock. It is truly a pleasure spending my money at this establishment where my business is genuinely appreciated! (I am not from San Fransico, CA as stated in my profile). NJ here.”

1625 NJ-23, Wayne“Had a wonderful and quick experience at the newly remodeled Wayne, New Jersey store!
The assistants were super attentive, and very nice and pleasant. There wasn’t a line so that was nice, but everything was well laid out in the store. It was super clean, spotless, newly remodeled, and everything was organized.
I went in for college commitment balloons. The assistant helped me plan my photo wall and collected the balloons and the backdrop that I needed. I was rung up quickly while my balloons were inflated by another helper. I left with fully inflated balloons. The assistants also bagged the balloons and helped me to the car. Very easy and happy experience.
Thank you!!”

112 Jackson Ave, Rutherford“It's a nice throw-back to the "sweet shops" that were fairly common back when I was a kid, and...for all intents and purposes...don't really exist anymore. Every few weeks, I bring my birth mother to the laundromat a few doors down to do her laundry (which is considered an "essential service" in this age of Covid-19), and I usually stop here to pick up a few items (I guess the sweet shop is considered an "essential service" too). It's old-- you can see that walking in. In fact, my birth mother grew up in the area, and her late father...my grandfather...bought tobacco here. And her brother...my uncle...got one of his first jobs here. He was in his early teens, and he's in his early 70s now, so...that gives some indication of just how long this place has been in business (I'm sure the ownership has changed hands since then, of course).Towards the back is a sit down area that...if I'm not mistaken...was once a soda fountain. I wish it still existed as a soda fountain. Would love to have an old fashioned "black and white" soda, or something comparable. Some of my early positive memories concern the Preakness Luncheonette, which was Wayne's version of the "sweet shop." I can remember my father bringing me there for a lemon coke, which seemed very exotic at the time. They sold magazines, newspapers, candy, ice cream, cigarettes, hamburgers, etc.(On a side note, while I'm wandering down Memory Lane...as an adolescent, I became friendly with 2 cousins from Yonkers...Tommy and Ricky...who had contests with each other to see who could shoplift the most items. The Preakness Luncheonette was one of their targets, and Tommy asked me one time, as I sat outside as a spectator, "Ed, can I get you anything?" "How about a Creepy magazine?" He came back with 5 issues of Creepy magazine, plus several other items, easily winning the contest with his cousin. That incident lit a light bulb in my head: "Wow, this looks almost too easy! Who needs money? I don't have to deliver any more newspapers!" I began my "criminal career" as a shoplifter at the Luncheonette, stealing horror comics and "girlie" magazines...the hormones were starting to kick in...and moving on to books, records, toys, items I didn't really need, even a wall poster that I concealed in my pants leg. My "career" as a budding Dillinger ended when a guy at another store stopped me, lifted up my shirt. Some 6th sense had made me toss back the magazine I had been ready to shoplift before he stopped me. Not finding any contraband, he growled, "Get the f*ck out of my store." The thought of my father...a nice guy but fearsome when he was pissed...finding out terrified me more than the thought of jail did, and "scared me straight." But I would like to take this opportunity to apologize these many decades later to the owners of the Preakness Luncheonette, who seemed like regular people trying to run a small business. Which has been "out of business" for decades. My sincere apologies for any part I might have played in that.)The Manor does have a magazine section, but I've outgrown "girlie" magazines (although I still have a weakness for horror comics), and have no temptation to resort back to my childhood thievery. At the front counter, I buy 2 coffees. One large black, with lots of sugar, for my birth mother. One small black, for me, no sugar. To make up for the no sugar in the coffee, I also buy Italian honey candy, coconut chocolate, and a "Chunky." (This is what I guess I consider "recompense" for my good deed of helping out with the laundry.) You can buy Lotto tickets here, soda or sports drinks, cigarettes, as well as some canned items.Surprisingly, I've been able to buy paper towels and tissue paper here when those items have been in short supply elsewhere. The proprietors seem to be going out of their way t”

498 Union Ave, Belleville“Great local chocolate and sweet speciality shop. The staff are kind and courteous. They have a good selection of chocolate, caramels, chocolate covered cherries, etc. and will wrap your box if you request it.My only negative thought is that the staff do a lot of socializing... not between themselves but with customers which can aid to the wait time.
Parking: Lots of free street parking on Ridge Rd. and the nearby side streets.”
“"We'll begin with a spin" before browsing through Lolli and Pops. Their variety and hard to find candies will astound you. Ask for samples of your favorite gummy bears, sweet and sour treats will amaze you. Look around and you'll see a world of truffles that will delight you. If you like, they even have some Asian, African and Spanish candies which will surprise you. If you are looking for nostalgia, whimsy or a guilty pleasure. Lolli and Pops has something for you. Take a scoop, and fill a bag full, it will cost you, sixteen dollars a pound if you dare to. I'll be back for their creative and unique creations before a full moon sees me yearning for your display case of macaroons”
“BEST POPCORN AROUND! The owners are the sweetest humans on this planet. They did my wedding favors and they came out perfect! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to anyone. Definitely check it out.”
“We walked upon this store before they were officially opened and they welcomed us like we were family. We have been back since and the treatment continues to maintain. My child proclaims these the best crepes in the world and this child knows crepes. Highly recommend supporting them when you have a sweet tooth.”
