Serving Kinnelon, NJ
A bakery near Kinnelon, NJ — right where Kiel Avenue ends
Kinnelon has lakes, woods, and winding roads — but no downtown of its own. Your errand road already points at us: Kiel Avenue runs through Butler and lands on Main Street, minutes from The Magpie Bakery's door.
The errand road ends in bakery
Kinnelon is famously a borough of lake neighborhoods rather than a Main Street — everyday errands run down to Meadtown Shopping Center on Route 23 or into Butler and Bloomingdale. That's exactly why the Magpie fits: take Kinnelon Road to Kiel Avenue (County Route 618), follow it north through downtown Butler, and where Kiel ends by the Butler Library, Main Street carries you east into Bloomingdale and straight past Riverside Square. From the Butler side of Kinnelon that's 5–8 minutes; from deep in Smoke Rise or Fayson Lakes, call it 12–15 of the prettiest minutes an errand can take.
Cakes for lake-community calendars
Between Smoke Rise's Village Green calendar, the Fayson Lakes association's summer schedule, and every birthday in between, Kinnelon runs on gatherings — and gatherings run on cake. Magpie custom cakes are planned face-to-face with Melanie Stripeikis, the owner and head baker with 30+ years of experience; her 4.9★ Google reviews return again and again to celebration cakes that match the picture in the customer's head, full wedding dessert tables, and vegan bakes good enough to fool the table. At this distance, the cake rides home over the hill without a worry.
Trail snacks, properly done
Kinnelon's other calendar is outdoors: Silas Condict County Park with its lake-view lodge, and Pyramid Mountain's trails just beyond. The Magpie sits at the bottom of the same corridor, so the post-hike stop writes itself — savory hand pies for the drive, a box of cookies for the car, coffee that improves any switchback debrief. See the full menu, or order online before you're out of the woods.
Your neighbors down the hill have pages too: Butler (you'll drive through it anyway) and Riverdale. For trays, platters, or logo cookies for the office, call (973) 291-6756 or read about catering.

Questions, answered
How long does it take to reach The Magpie Bakery from Kinnelon?
From the Kinnelon Road / Kiel Avenue side of town near Butler, about 5–8 minutes: take Kiel Avenue (CR 618) north through downtown Butler, and where it ends near the Butler Library, continue east on Main Street into Bloomingdale. From Fayson Lakes or the far end of Smoke Rise, budget 12–15 minutes — Kinnelon is a big, winding, wooded borough.
Can you do a cake for a party at Smoke Rise or Fayson Lakes?
Yes — custom cakes and cupcakes are designed one-on-one with Melanie, and dessert spreads for club or lake-community gatherings are what our catering is for. Call (973) 291-6756 with the date and headcount and we'll plan it together.
Is the bakery a good stop after hiking Pyramid Mountain or Silas Condict?
It's the correct reward. Both parks are a short drive from the Kiel Avenue corridor, and the bakery is right where that corridor lands in Bloomingdale — order online mid-hike and a box of donuts or hand pies will be waiting.
