Belle Journée Bakery

UPDATE: I've gone back a few times since our first visit, and I've since appreciated the fact that this little bakery reigns in the realm of not-so-sweet pastries. I'm not into super sweet things, and this Asian bakery is one of few bakeries in this area that manages to do that well while also keeping costs surprisingly reasonable (Tous Les Jours in the Little Ferry is the other closest one, but breads there cost an arm and a leg). Most recently, I was elated to find a peanut butter cream bread, a childhood favorite that I've not found in any bakery since the last time I had one (more than a decade ago). Studded with peanuts and filled with an almost savory-sweet whipped peanut butter cream, it's my new favorite. We've encountered different workers during each visit, and each interaction

I've been here a couple times and honestly never been disappointed, I love their baked goods given the fact they are not deadly sweet and still are considered indulgent delicacies, at least from my perspective. I had a mango pastry that I don't know the name of (I'm very adventurous and random with my likes) and I can say I don't regret... But it's always the same way in this spot, they recommend you some good takes and also give you some pastry so you can try for free, such a great experience and my mom loves to go here given the fact they speak Spanish too! Keep up the good work!

It seems like this place is running as baking factory for other Belle Journee locations. Not so much bread and variety as other location such as Palisades Park, which is main for this franchise.

I highly recommend the bakery in Ridgefield park. The the breads and pastries are unique and delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is clean and calm. They closed for several months, then reopened on 10/1/25. I hope they succeed long term!
