CocoLuxe Fine Pastries

Spot on every time I come here!
I work from home so I am blessed that I can pop by Coco Luxe any time basically and I can tell you the service and product is always excellent.
Love the weekends for the Dartois
Lunch soup today was fantastic jambalaya
The flourless chocolate cake was HUGE success at a dinner party served with fresh raspberries
The prices are comparable to Whole Foods, Kings, Wegmans BUT you get to support small business in the community which I think is important.

CocoLuxe is definitely the best in the area. Paula has done several custom cakes and cookies for me and they are always perfect.

3.5 stars would be more accurate. I do like this place a lot. Great soups, quiches, flourless chocolate cakes, macarons & ah-​mazing hot cocoa, which would be even better w/​homemade whipped cream (canned stuff just isn’t worthy) or better yet a homemade marshmallow square. Recent changes include panini sandwiches are a welcome change, even if the focaccia is a little dense. Agree w/​others that the cakes are often way too dry, which is a shame as they are beautiful looking… they do need to address that. The tea cookies are always good. Wish they would bring back the heavenly lemon meringue cupcakes that I was lucky to have had once.
This place really makes me long for the City Bakery, a great farm to table bakery & café in Manhattan that was a daily obsession when I worked in Union Square area. Would truly be 5 star place if the took a few pages from their playbook.
I find the staff to be warm & welcoming, they are often overwhelmed when it’s busy but that’s to be expected because it gets really busy. Try to avoid when cyclists are there, they travel in packs & tend to take over the joint.

On this occasion I walked in and purchased a $ 20 6″ black and white cake from the display case for a dinner party. Unfortunately, the cake was noticeably drier than ideal and required a healthy dollop of ice cream to be consumed more easily. The fine, rich icing did not compensate enough for the cake itself. Would have been better in this case to have gone to local supermarket rather than making the drive to Peapack for something special.
On the plus side, service was quick and friendly and kept the line moving nicely on this New Year’s Eve day. The final verdict, there were no «oohs» and «aahs» and much the cake went wanting.

The cutest little café/​bakery around! Not only is the atmosphere charming so is the staff, very friendly and hospitable. I was in the mood for some soup when I stopped in and they happily gave me a taste of all three. Parking across the street in a small lot or find a parking spot on the street and enjoy walking to this gem!

I am a regular here. I love pastries and this is the place to buy them. If you are a carrot cake freak like me, here you will find the best carrot cake around.
They also serve soups; if you ever see chilly on the menu, go for it… it is awesome.
The also have decent coffee, which is kinda odd.

This little French themed bakery is always a nice place to stop in from time to time. Their array of pastries and desserts always look fresh and delightful! I’ve had their chocolate mice cakes, chocolate brioche, and little pecan tarts. My friend has had their macaroons and says they are delicious! The last time we came in for a quick coffee and pastry, the owner made us a fresh pot which was really sweet, or maybe just perfect timing! A very nice spot in Peapack to enjoy a treat, coffee, and talk with a good friend.

I gave 3 stars due to the quality of service that I received and not the food. I asked to warm up the quiche but was told that it just came out of the oven. It was cold. I also paid for a turkey, Brie and arugula sandwich but the turkey was missing. When I informed the staff, she just told me in a stoic tone that they have one without turkey also.

A true gem. Beautiful pastries and cakes. Good coffee. Tasty soups as well. Staff is friendly. I also love that they leave the kitchen door open and you can see the bakers at work. Cocoluxe has brought a bit of life to sleepy Peapack Gladstone. It is always bustling, and rightfully so.

Every morning my fiancé and I spend a while at CocoLux having coffee, tea and some breakfast. A crowd of regulars shuffles in and exchange morning pleasantries. I might have breakfast pizza or a quiche. Others have a croissant or oatmeal. The staff greets us by name as we settle in for the day’s news.
This local patisserie is the place to be. Both for breakfast and lunch.

Stopped by after seeing good reviews on Unilocal– but what a bummer– would NOT recommend!
Staff so snotty– they said they are a «patisserie» not a bakery! Well, la di da!
Pass this snotty spot up and go someplace where there are pleasant, helpful clerks.
Would give zero stars if possible.

What a special place!!! The people who work there are amazing; they’re helpful, kind, and always have such a lovely smile to greet you when you walk in. Everything… repeat everything… is wonderful. From the pastries, to the gorgeous cakes, yummy cookies, hearty & delicious soups, salads & sandwiches, Cocoluxe has mastered the art of food.
A favorite outing is to visit Cocoluxe, then head to Urban Cottage! What a great store!

I just discovered this place on my way to work. It was so cute and quaint inside, very relaxing, that I actually did sit by the window and ate the most delicious breakfast scone I ever had with coffee.
I like the variety of unique and high quality baked goods they offer. From sweet to savory, tarts, cookies, delicious scones, everything was so good that I may have to stop here every morning to try a different item.
I was also pleased to how one of the server remembered me when I came in the next day. They all seem helpfull, friendly and welcoming. I will have to try their lunch menu next time.

My absolute favorite chocolate chip cookies in all of NJ. The soups, which change on a regular basis are always wonderful. The sandwiches are made in advance and left out (wrapped up), except the tuna, which is kept in the bev frig. All of the sandwiches are good — butting into them reminds me of being in Europe — the taste is just that good. The only downside is the sandwiches run out early and the tuna wrap get soggy if it’s later in the afternoon.
There is limited seating inside and only 2 — 3 tables outside. Several of the chairs are due for replacement, but the food and friendliness of everyone cannot be beat!

My favorite bakery nearby !
The chocolate macaroons are to die for!
The Chocolate croissants are heavenly!
Go there for lunch the soups are amazing
Best cappuccino– very good machine
And my favorite thing of all is the pignoli nut cookies that are gluten free. The flourless cake is very popular! Scones are insane fresh…
Love it !!!
Treat yourself

Attention to detail is the first thing that comes to my mind when I walk in here. The pastries are finely decorated and displayed with care and professionalism.
I am a fan of the chocolate croissants. I find they have a nice balance of chocolate and they are not overly sweet. I tried a brownie today and it we very good. They come your choice, with or without nuts. For me that’s an easy choice. The nuts are merely filler. Get as much chocolate as possible with every meal.
Coffee sizes are limited to large or small. There is no such thing as a medium.
Besides pastries you can get sandwiches or soups.
While I have never tried the cakes they looked awesome.
The staff were friendly and appeared to be enjoying their job.

Hand sifted, classic baking techniques makes this bakery a hit in Manhattan OR anywhere in North America, Europe or Japan (big pastry eaters!).
I see one of the reviews compares CoCoLuxe to north Jersey’s Calandra’s. I work near Calandra’s and go there once a month or more for over 10 years and I love pastries. Calandra’s is Italian pastries and does big volume. The baking materials and raw ingredients are simply different and if you do not know then you do not know. I love Calandras, but love it for their Itlaian pastries, coffee but this simply is not comparing apples to apples.
CocoLuxe product is not mass produced, not made in high volume. Their cookies are much more genuine «home cooked» baking achieving a rich, granular texture a product you expect is made with freshest ingredients desired.
The packaging is heart felt and perfect. What goes in is the best around, which also includes that bakery down town Somerville across the street from the courthouse.
They are not as fully committed to being a fine patisserie but get 3 stars for trying but are not even close to CocoLuxe.
In fact I cannot say any bakery in New Jersey is close to CocoLuxe and that ranges from Princeton, Westfield, Summit (though Natale’s Philly Fluff cake is my favorite cake on earth and I would classify it as a separate food group, but again, they are specialty Italian style –excellent quality — — bakery of the best quality, but not a fine patisserie… like drinking fine, aged red wine versus high volume, good drinkable young red wine… they both have their time and place.
CocoLuxe is in my opinion the best «FINE» French style pastry shop in New Jersey and I am grateful it is in the woods. Worth every penny and not over priced for what you get. I am as excited to visit CocoLuxe as I am to walk in to the Tartine bakery in San Francisco.

Came here for breakfast. Baked goods were excellent. Great selection of savory and sweet. My hot chocolate was ok but my husbands mocha was amazing.
They also have a selection of soups and lunch food.

Wow! Great pastries served in a French café. Nice atmosphere and a friendly staff … go for breakfast pastries or a light lunch, sit and talk by yourself or with a friend … Probably my favorite pastry shop. They serve soup and to die for almond croissants. … Wow!

I drove past this famous local place for eight months before finally going through its doors. I did get some amazing previews from things that were brought home by other people but that does not provide the experience of what it is like to be in the store. The selection of offerings is large and the freshness is quite amazing.
There are even a few seats inside to share some treats over a cup of coffee or my recommendation of hot chocolate!
