Bodrum Cafe & Bakery
79 Bloomfield Ave, West Orange, NJ
Crema's Take
“This cozy West Orange spot serves up authentic Turkish and Mediterranean pastries that taste genuinely homemade, from perfectly balanced baklava to buttery croissants and savory börek, all backed by excellent espresso and traditional Turkish coffee. The welcoming, unhurried atmosphere and genuine hospitality from the owner make it an ideal place to linger over a slow sit with friends, while the artfully prepared desserts—think pistachio eclairs and nut cookies with caramel filling—feel like nostalgic treasures worth seeking out.”

I stopped by Bodrum Cafe & Bakery for the first time today and was really impressed. The pastries and börek were very fresh and tasted homemade. The baklava was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet and very crispy. It’s nice to find a place that puts so much care into their food. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Such wonderful hospitality! The pastries and croissants are fantastic, and the baklava is truly outstanding. Everything tastes fresh and authentic. Definitely worth visiting
We stopped by Bloom Bakery in Caldwell and absolutely loved it. We bought a nut cookie with caramel filling (very nostalgic and so delicious), a pistachio eclair, and a lemon meringue tart to take with us. Everything was great, but the tart was my favorite , perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. While we were ordering our sweets to go, I also got a Turkish coffee to enjoy inside. It was first served in a small paper cup, probably a simple misunderstanding, and I sounded a bit disappointed. The owner immediately made a fresh one and brought it in a proper cup. It was excellent , rich, strong, and full of flavor. Great pastries, great coffee, and truly caring service. Highly recommend this place!
Delicious and artfully prepared cakes. Don't sleep on the pastry, cookie, and coffee selections either, including espresso and Turkish coffee. Great hospitality from the owner.
