Our ultimate goal is simple: Create an experience for all others that we would expect for ourselves. Our customers must feel the "Mara's Story" with each sip of coffee, slice of cake, or bite of food.
Only one cafe has been voted as having the best dessert in Morris County, including the best cheesecake, best cupcakes, best cookies, and best cannolis. The same cafe was voted as having the best coffee, best cappuccino, best espresso, best lunch, best brunch, best breakfast, and recognized as the best family-friendly eatery by Morris County residents. Morris Cafe and Bakery in Denville Morris Bakery was founded in 1984 by Mara and Glenn Magley. As a literal mom and pop establishment, we set to distinguish ourselves with our core desserts and coffee products of the highest quality. With the help of our sons, Ian and Devon Magley, we opened Morris Cafe in 2004 to feature our homemade desserts and coffee in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our ultimate goal is simple, to create an experience for others that we would expect for ourselves. Morris is now serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, and dessert, proving that any time of day is a good time for Maras. Among our wide variety of desserts, you'll find Mara's original cheesecake, created by Mara and Glenn Magley over 25 years ago. Its rich and smooth blend of creams, cheeses, and pure vanilla has captured the hearts and palates of countless patrons. Each cheesecake is made fresh at Mara's Bakery, alongside Mara's fresh baked pies. Nothing satisfies more than a slice of Mara's blueberry, pecan, key lime, peach, or apple cr One of Mara's newest creations are their delicious cupcakes. Mara's Bakery uses the highest quality cake batter and fills each cupcake with one of their silky smooth mousses, custard, ganache, or rich flavorful butter creams, and tops them with whipped ganache, chocolate, or vanilla icing. Try a slice of one of Mara's traditional layer cakes. Mara's combines spongy soft layers, carefully iced together with mousse, cream cheese icing, or chantilly cream, to create flavor combinations Mara's also offers signature mousse cakes, using the finest chocolates, fresh eggs, and heavy cream, delicately whipped and folded together to provide a genuinely silky texture and outrageous flavor. For those seeking a more wild creation, try the chocolate explosion, which combines rich chocolate mousse with cheesecake and a layer of chocolate cake, all covered with ganache, chopped pecans, and caramel. Mara's Cafe and Bakery also features fresh baked biscotti, cookies, and an array of brownies and bars, delicious on their own, or paired with one of Mara's fresh roasted coffee products. Mara's Coffee is made using the finest whole coffee beans, roasted on location at Mara's Cafe. Mara's also flavors their own beans so that every cup is the most fresh and satisfying you'll find anywhere. Mara's Cafe features an array of breakfast food options, as well as extensive lunch and dinner menus. And you can top it all off with Mara's homemade gelato, made fresh daily, with real fruit and all natural flavors.
