Bakery & Café
Explore the kinds of pies, pastries, savory bakes, cakes, café drinks, and plant-based options Magpie offers. Item-level availability lives on the current ordering menus.
Everything in the Magpie case is baked from scratch at Riverside Square — doughs laminated, fillings simmered, and cakes layered in the bakery's own kitchen, the way owner and baker Melanie Stripeikis has worked for more than 30+ years. That is why this page reads like a guide to categories rather than a fixed list: a scratch bakery bakes what the morning, the season, and the week's orders call for, so the case genuinely rotates. Treat the sections below as the shape of the menu, and start at How to Order when you are ready to see exactly what is available for your timing.
Magpie keeps ordering honest by splitting it into two live menus, each with one clear job:
The ordering guide names each destination before you leave this site, so you always know which menu you are looking at and what it is for.
Selection rotates
Whole pies and individual tarts, with the current selection shown on the live menus.
From lattice-top fruit pies to fluted tarts, this is the heart of the case. Whole pies for the table and individual tarts for one show up as the season and the day's baking allow.
Selection rotates
Croissants, turnovers, cinnamon rolls, and other rotating pastry-case choices.
The morning-pastry side of the bakery: laminated, rolled, filled, and glazed things that pair naturally with a café drink.
Selection rotates
A rotating savory side of the bakery case for lunch, dinner, or a take-home meal.
Hand pies and pot pies give the case a lunch-and-dinner side — something warm to eat at the café or carry home for the table.
Selection rotates
Bakery donuts offered as part of the changing daily selection.
Bakery-style donuts join the rotation on the days they are made; when they appear, the live menu is where you will see them first.
Selection rotates
Individual treats and larger platters, depending on the day and order type.
Single treats when you want one, larger platters when the occasion calls for a spread — ask about platter options for gatherings.
Plan ahead
Everyday cake choices through future ordering and custom designs through an inquiry.
Everyday cakes can be ordered ahead by phone or the contact form, while decorated custom designs start with an inquiry and a conversation.

Coffee, iced teas, matcha, and featured cold drinks from the bakery café.
The café counter pours coffee, teas, matcha, and rotating cold drinks the whole time the bakery is open.

Rotating plant-based choices prepared in a shared kitchen; ask about current options.
Plant-based bakes rotate through the case alongside everything else, prepared in the same shared kitchen.

The case is only half the visit. Magpie is a bakery and café, so coffee, teas, matcha, and colorful cold drinks are poured right beside the pastries — see Coffee & Drinks for the café side of the counter. The savory rotation of hand pies and pot pies means the menu works for lunch and dinner, not just dessert, and the rotating plant-based bakes described on the Vegan Bakery page keep the case friendly to mixed groups.
Cakes are the one category that mostly lives off this page. Everyday cakes can be ordered ahead by phone or the contact form, while decorated designs — birthdays, showers, milestones — begin with an inquiry so the bakery can review your date and ideas. Custom Cakes explains that process, and Wedding Desserts covers cakes and dessert tables for the big day.
Same-day items, planned future pickups, and custom cakes use different workflows, and the ordering guide matches you to the right one in a minute. For office or event requests, see Catering & Corporate Gifts. Questions about the current case can always be answered at (973) 291-6756.
Good to know
Yes. Magpie bakes from scratch in small batches, so the case reflects what came out of the ovens that morning and what the season inspires. The live same-day menu is the accurate picture of what is available right now, and the staff can confirm a specific item at (973) 291-6756.
This page describes the categories Magpie bakes; the live same-day menu on magpiebakerytogo.com is the source of truth for what is in the case today. The How to Order page walks you to the right menu for your timing.
Yes. Send your date and list through the contact form on this website, or call the bakery, and Magpie confirms the advance order with you. Custom cakes, wedding desserts, and catering are planned the same way — they begin with an inquiry or a phone call rather than a standard checkout.
Plant-based options rotate through the case, and they are prepared in the same kitchen as everything else rather than a dedicated facility. The Vegan Bakery page explains how to find what is available on a given day.
Absolutely — the case is open to walk-in guests whenever the bakery is (Mon & Sun 8–3 · Tue–Sat 8–5). Because the selection rotates, check the live menu or call first if your visit depends on one particular item.
Choose same-day ordering, a future pickup, or a custom-cake inquiry from one clear place.
