SunMerry in Hoboken, NJ
There is a new bakery in Hoboken, but this time, a Taiwanese bakery with European influences: SunMerry. Not their first location is the US though as they have few in California as well as New Jersey, and I even passed by a store under renovation in New York that should be opening soon. So we decided to check it out for breakfast. I admit that I was a bit disappointed to see that they do not have anywhere to sit, and so it is a grab and go kind of place. Hopefully they will have outside seating when the weather is nice so you can relax with a coffee (no espresso though) or tea and some treats.

We tried few things there and I would have been more adventurous if we would have eaten there as, if you do not like something, you can get something else right away. Here is what we tried:
Chocolate croissant: well it is literally a croissant with chocolate inside that is truly what it should be as croissant refers to the shape (in French, we do not call it « un croissant au chocolat » although the dough is identical, but rather a « pain au chocolat »). Anyway, it was good, flakey and buttery.

The cinnamon bun looked spectacular but it was a bit dry...

My favorite was the Portuguese egg custard that is like a small tart made with a flan. Delicious, not too sweet, I could have eaten a bunch.

SunMerry is a nice addition in Hoboken, but I still prefer Chocopain (that should not surprise you by now if you follow me on Instagram). I’ll wait for the nice days to visit this place again and try some of their savory items.
Enjoy (I still did)!
