Mara’s Cafe And Bakery

Happend to stumble upon this place which happens to be having a grand re opening. I was on the receiving end of a great experience with some great people, food and desserts. To start, you need to have a plan when it comes to parking. There are a few spots out front, but the main parking is located behind the building. The entrance is inviting and welcoming with the inside featuring new tables and chairs. Everything is new. Now depending upon what you are looking to order, you can go right or left through the doors. You go right and you can treat yourself to an amazing layout of authentic homemade gelato. More flavors than you can imagine and it is made on site. Apparently one of the new owners went to Italy to learn how to make Gelato. The time was was well spent because the gelato was amazing. If you go to the left side of the cafe, you have seating for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I selected to have breakfast for lunch with some eggs and home fries. Now a little confusing is the ordering system, especially if you have not done it before. But you do it once and you will know for the next visit. You place your order at the front, they call your name and you pick it up at the counter. The desserts are off the charts, fresh cupcakes, pies, cakes, bars. Anything and everything to satisfy your sweet tooth. Ordered the penut butter bar and it was outstanding. If this is a sample of what is to come, Mara's is going to do very well in Denville. Nothing better than a small business doing well on Main Street USA. Best of Luck. I will be back really soon to start sampling each dessert, one at a time. Loved this place.

I popped in here for a quick meal two weeks ago and loved it! They have a pretty wide selection of brunch/lunch items and a massive dessert menu. I got the Western Burger (see attached pics), which came garnished with frizzled onions and bacon. It was really good and the portion was quite generous. I got my order pretty quickly. I got the latte (see pic) after the burger and it came generously garnished with whip cream. It was a nice little treat! The ambiance is great as well. It's great for casual lunches, for studying, or even taking business clients out for breakfast. I would return again.

Let me just say yum and wow! You will love all of these well decorated tasty desserts. And that's not all, the homemade ice cream will taste great on any day, anytime! Would definitely recommend!

Can't wait to go back! Mozzarella tomato pesto panini -yum. Raspberry oat bar delicious. Caramel latte not too sweet--perfect.

Wow cake is a little pricey but BY FAR best cake i ever had super silky and not sweet tasting which is perfect. Frosting is usually too sweet for me but this was smooth and tasty. Def would get again.
