About This Vendor
Sweet Melissa Patisserie (est. 1998) is a French-influenced bakery and café where all of the baked goods and savory offerings are made from scratch and rolled by hand. They use only the finest ingredients, and their food is baked fresh daily, no shortcuts. They work in small batches, and all products are made by trained hands. The quality of the delicious croissants, danish, pies, cookies, cakes and tarts is evident, as only the finest quality ingredients are used.
As a husband and wife team, Owner Christopher Rafano and Executive Chef Melissa Murphy Rafano have lived in Hunterdon County since 2010. Since relocating from Brooklyn, they have dreamed of opening their patisserie for the residents of Hunterdon. The new location in Clinton Township, NJ, opened in May of 2016, already has a wonderful and fervent local following. Sweet Melissa Patisserie was just awarded “Best Bakery” and “Best Brunch” by Hunterdon Happenings 2017.
