Bovella’s is a traditional Italian bakery and pastry shop that’s been a Garden State staple for 70 years. A local favorite, it offers two locations – one in Westfield and one in Mountainside. Serving all sorts of sweet treats, this family-owned eatery is a New Jersey gem.

Bovella’s may not be a household name across the state just yet but over 30,000 locals have taken enough interest to follow the page on Facebook…that’s kind of a big deal.

Bovella’s offers all sorts of sweet treats but we have to start with a favorite - the Irish Bailey’s Cup.

Bovella’s This creative concoction consists of vanilla sponge cake layers soaked in Bailey’s Irish Cream, a layer of whipped topping with chocolate chips, and Bailey’s mousse to finish it all off. The treat is served in a small cup that’s entirely edible - it’s a house-made chocolate shell!

Of course there’s plenty more. Chocolate lovers will enjoy flour-less chocolate tarts (pictured), chocolate tiramisu cupcakes, fudge balls, brownies, and chocolate cheesecake.
