Your first visit, in one paragraph

Walk in and you're looking at the heart of the shop: a glass bakery case filled with that morning's from-scratch bake — pies and tarts, pastries, cookies, bars, and whatever else the kitchen has decided the day deserves. The case rotates daily and seasonally, so browsing it is the point; regulars treat "what's in the case today?" as half the fun. The café counter sits right beside it, pouring coffee, tea, matcha, and cold drinks, so the classic Magpie visit is a drink in one hand and a slow lap past the glass. For the shape of what Magpie bakes, skim the menu categories; for what's pouring, see coffee & drinks.

When to come for the best selection

An honest answer, true of any small-batch bakery: come in the morning. The case is at its fullest and freshest after the day's bake goes in, and because Magpie bakes in small batches rather than deep inventory, popular items genuinely sell through as the day goes on. An afternoon visit is still a good visit — there's no bad time for coffee and a treat — but if your heart is set on one specific bake, either check the live same-day menu through the ordering guide before you drive over, or order it for a future pickup date so it's waiting at the counter with your name on it.

Getting here from the Route 23 corridor

Bloomingdale sits where the Route 23 corridor meets North Jersey's lake country, which makes Riverside Square an easy stop on routes people already drive: commutes along 23, errand loops through the borough centers, and weekend drives toward the lakes. Neighbors come from just over the borough line in Butler and Riverdale, from Pompton Lakes on the other side of the river, and from the lake communities beyond — the areas-we-serve guides cover each nearby town in turn.

Once you arrive, parking is available at the Riverside Square plaza. For turn-by-turn routing with live traffic, use the Google Maps directions rather than a memorized route — they start from wherever you actually are.

Before you come

Two things are worth a glance before you set out. First, the case rotates: if you need a particular item, use the ordering guide to find the live same-day menu, or call the bakery. Second, around holidays the schedule can shift from the regular hours above, so a time-sensitive trip deserves a quick call to (973) 291-6756. Everything else — what to order, how the café works, where to park — sorts itself out the moment you're standing in front of the case.
