Varrelmann's Bake Shop

Got a cake for Mother’s Day . It was moist and delicious. Everything about the place is good except the crumb buns are dry, unless you go there first thing in the morning when there still warm. Would recommend!

Ordered a German Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse and buttercream icing. This was 2 days before Thanksgiving and I was able to pick it up on Thanksgiving morning... It was simply divine! This was my first experience with Varrelmann's and I will surely be going back to try everything else on the menu.

I love Varrelmann's! This is a Rutherford staple that hasn't changed for good reason: why mess with perfection? They, of course, have the standard bakery fare of cakes, pies, and donuts that are delightful, but, you *really* want to go in for their butter cookies! They tout an old recipe, and for good reason! Come in and enjoy!

Wow, best key lime pie I've had in my life. Don't think I'd bother ordering from a restaurant ever again - I'm just kinda ruined. Originally I was just looking for a pit stop to get a great French cruller - and Varrelmann's came up. And the cruller was very good. But the pie was just an after thought when I saw there was only 2 left in the display. I also tried the cheese pastries, and those were solid. One was a bit thinner on the pastry part which I think was the better ratio. The cheddar scones were sold out, but tried the orange cranberry. I didn't get a bite unfortunately, but the wife said it was good. She also got some freshly filled cannoli's. Visited on Fathers day morning, so street parking was rough (maybe it's like that every weekend in Rutherford? My first time there.) But there was a garage around the corner that had some spots thankfully. The shop itself has a very classic feel to it, complete with a functional old timey register (they do accept credit cards). There is also a small indoor table near the door, seems suited for kids to play and nibble at. It's now my mission to find out what other killer offerings they have. Next time I'll actually remember to take photos before scarfing it all down, too.

Enjoying this peaceful rainy day on my way to work I get a little bit of sweet in this afternoon, I totally recommend this place in Rutherford. @Varrelmann's Bake shop. Soo delicious pastries. Love it

OMG! What wonderful service! And what an incredible apple strudel!!! There was no over-promising here: Soft apples still with a chew, the flakiest of crusts with a hint of butter. We were blown away, and we’ll be back soon. Thank you Varrelmann’s!!!

Varrelmann's Bake Shop, found on Park Avenue in downtown Rutherford, is one of those hidden gems that most people would simply pass by because it is practically hidden in the mass that is downtown Rutherford. It is however, one top notch bakery with tremendous items to offer. Their donuts, pastries, muffins and scones are super. I also found it refreshing to find, that even at 3 in the afternoon, they were still preparing fresh coffee, when most places would merely bang up their coffee dispenser. One more great plus; with more and more upscale coffee shops and bakery vendors appearing on the scenes along this stretch of town, it's a great relief to encounter a business that is comparatively easy on the wallet. I love this place.
