NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ — Sweet Touch Cafe officially opened its doors Sunday with a ribbon cutting ceremony that drew a steady stream of visitors eager to sample its freshly brewed coffee and homemade baked goods.

Owner Marta Lazorko, who has long dreamed of opening her own bakery, greeted guests throughout the day as they enjoyed an array of pastries, crêpes, sandwiches and specialty drinks. Lazorko prepares every dessert in the display case herself and says freshness is the heart of Sweet Touch Cafe.

“I put my love into everything I bake,” Lazorko said. “I want people to taste the difference when something is made fresh, from scratch, every day.”

Sweet Touch Cafe features a spacious, bright café area with seating designed for lingering—whether customers want to work remotely, meet friends, or relax with family. Lazorko said one of her favorite sights is watching local teens gather for lattes and conversation.

The menu offers a wide selection, including savory crêpes, a turkey avocado crunch, breakfast croissants, gourmet sandwiches, Sweet Touch’s signature iced latte with cold-foam creamer and an extensive lineup of homemade desserts. Guests are encouraged to browse the full menu on the bakery’s website.

Mayor Al Morgan led the ribbon cutting, joined by Councilwomen Diane Bilicska and Nadine Geoffroy, Councilmen Alex Kogan and Matt Cumiskey, and Councilmen-elect Alan Lerner and Brian Gardner. And Joe Eberle of Weichert Realtors representing the Business Community. Family, friends and community members rounded out the crowd celebrating the bakery’s debut.

Sweet Touch Cafe is located at 1682 Springfield Avenue at the corner of Central Avenue. The community is invited to stop in, enjoy the offerings, and experience what Lazorko hopes will become a warm, welcoming gathering place.
