Its a very popular spot. I havent tried everything so my critique might seem negative. Ill start with the good. The coffee was so fresh and delicious I will dedinitly go back for more. To accompany, I chose the blueberry crumb cake. It was the second time that I was enticed by this attractive treat. I should have known better. It was full of what I guess was butter. Definitely rich. Both times I found the texture mushy, the flavor lacking, with visible yet tasteless, texture-less blueberries. The crumb topping had the right bite but, again no flavor even after I shook cinnamon on it at the coffee bar. Not worth the calories and fat for breakfast. Everything looked good but Im not sure they know what vanilla is. It would have helped.

My favorite local coffee shop. They do your basic espresso drinks without all the crappy caramel flavorings. If you want that then go to Starbucks. I love their lattes with whole milk. Theyve got a great assortment of fresh baked pastries. Ive had their cupcakes and they are heavenly. They use Square for payment. Their staff is always nice. No bathroom though!

Delicious! A friend served their scones and I tried one, never really liking scones but thats all he was serving. Amazingly flavorful and I immediately asked where he got the scones. He said the Able Baker and I have been to this place many times since then. Scones, cookies, and pies are scrumptious and the coffee is great too. A terrific place!

I LOVE THESE CUPCAKES!!!! We had them at Maplewoodstock, and then we ordered them for my husbands 40th birthday party. They were so good, everyone was like, "Whered you get those cupcakes???" I cannot stress enough how delicious the cupcakes are. I have looked around for cupcakes and these are the ones.

Have loved everything baked good that I have purchased or sampled...Even baked goods for customers with food allergies...They add something different all the time....I usually come in for one thing but leave with more than originally planned...

Amazing sweets. Great place to pick up a box of fancy cookies or a pie to take to a party. Wish they had savory. Always crowded but didnt think that warranted losing a star as they are not slow with service, just very popular.

The Able Baker is a wonderful little bakery and coffee shop. The coffee is strong and remarkable. Service is quick, and the treats are delicious. Try their dill and cheese, or apricot scones. Banana bread is always good.

Got the cookies they recommend and they did turn out to be awesome. Only complaint is that they price things on the high end while hiding the prices from you until the last minute when they ask you to swipe the card.

I love able baker! I love their employees. The coffee is great but the paper cups are not the best. The blueberry coffee cake is scrumptious as well as their banana bread. I would recommend this place to anyone.

One of my favorites in Maplewood, although its always busy its worth the wait! Their scones and the GF banana bread are both a must try! The coffee and tea selection is also top quality!

Such a gem in the lovely town of Maplewood. The best part is they serve La Colombe coffee! The baked goods are also fantastic. Always make sure we stop in when we visit the area.

Theres a reason this bakery is so popular - the baking is great and the coffee is great. The proprietors are also wonderful people. Worth supporting with your business.

The best!! They have a great selection of fresh goodies including gluten free items (if you dont need to be strict about it). I love the atmosphere as well.

Good scones and hot apple cider. The seating outside is very limited and on rain grates that make the chairs and tables wobble. Crowded in the morning.

Ive lived in Manhattan and Queens and scoured Brooklyn. This is hands down the best bakery and coffeeshop in the NYC metro.
