Sfogliatella?

[aklein]

Since I learned this morning that cupcakes are over, who's got the best sfogliatella, those addictive , flaky, ricotta-filled Italian pastries?

[aklein]

wow, thanks for all the replies... I've had caputo's and not been impressed, but we do love Del Ponte's... next time I'm in north Jersey (from Monmouth), we'll check out some of the locations some of you have mentioned....

Believe it or not, I've even had a decent sfogliatella from Shop-Rite!

With the exception of the rolls, Italian Breads, and some cookies.....possibly some muffins....just about every baked goods, especially the cakes, come prepackaged frozen. The items are pulled from the box and defrosted. These include Italian Cookies, danishes, cheesecakes, Birthday Sheetcakes, Carrot Cakes, shortcakes, pies and many more items too numerous to list.

Yeah, I know. But I've still had a decent sfogliatella at Shop-Rite. Nothing wrong with freezing; I do it all the time at home. I was just throwing this out there as an option in case the OP could not get to any of the bakeries mentioned, but may have a Shop-Rite near them.

I realized this when I used to purchase from here:

I couldn't believe the number of products available.

BTW...I had the Crumb Cheese Danish .....2/3.00 recently....not bad and would purchase again.

Okay the number of Italian Bakeries in New Jersey is going to be a long list.

I can recommend http://www.randazzospastryshop.com/ in Raritan.

I hate to say it and others may disagree, but Carlo's in Hoboken (aka The Cake Boss) has great sfogliatelle. Now, if you can only get into the place. I think the wait these days at any given time is over an hour.

Del Ponte's in Bradley Beach is pretty good

If you are willing to travel to North Jersey, Bergen County specifically, you'll find excellent Italian pastries, including Sfolgliatella & Lobster Tails and real Butter Cookies....not the kind in the white boxes, which are frozen.

We love the Sfogliatelle at Rispoli. I think they use a somewhat sweeter filling than might be traditional, but I really don't know. I just know my family goes nuts for them. Get there at 6 am around the holidays.
