42 Best Bakeries in Jersey City

“Hands down the best espresso drinks in JC. My favorite two things are the fig prosciutto and cheese focaccia and Also THE TINY SPICY FISH on toast. I don't know exactly what it is but I don't care its amazing and delicious. Get a cortado or a cappuccino or even just an espresso shot.The service is FAST especially for what everyone is making but I will say the line and wait can get so crazy that you sometimes just step out and try another time.“

“I had a great experience with friends here today with the food (midnight cocoa and earl grey were both delicious) and the service, so I don’t get the hate in recent reviews. To be fair, I was visiting from Manhattan, where two scoops are $9 or more at most ice cream parlors, so I didn’t take issue with the price.“

“Ordered breakfast from Cafe Quetzal next door. They are the operated by the same family. Tried all three breakfast dishes and they were all three great. Really enjoyed the brunch tostadas and would recommend to anyone. The El Guatemalteco is great too. Will be back as soon as i can. The staff is outstanding and reasonable prices. Very good foot.“

“Did I just find the best eggplant parm Sandwhich in JC?! Stopped in here for a few baguettes and noticed they sell eggplant Parm sandwiches. It took 15 minutes to get mine but WOW. They prepared it fresh and baked it in the coal oven on fresh baked bread…unreal. Highly recommend. Ask them to scoop the bread.“

“Great value, service, and range and quality of food and drinks, especially love their breakfast sandwiches. Place is usually clean, almost always busy, but you don't have to wait a long time. Also like the diversity of the crowd, in terms of age, race, and class. I love supporting businesses like this.“

“So good and creative. This is a must try brunchy spot for those gluten lovers out there. I'm not into sandwiches, but they looked incredible.Get there early because they run out of stuff.Update: I tried the carrot pound cake. Woah!!! It's like carrot cake.“

“Yes yes yes! We will be coming back for sure! Despite not having seats or being a traditional cafe, the baked goods here hit. the. spot. We got a pepperoni and cheese roll (kind of like a calzone but better), ricotta pastry and chocolate roll, and all three came out to $11 and the sizes were generous. Second Street Bakery does not skimp on the ingredients, and the pastries were field with pepperoni, ricotta and chocolate - everything was evenly distributed so every bite you took was perfect. Highly recommend this spot! The server was really kind and no frills. We look forward to returning and trying their sandwiches too!“

“Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Woops! Tasleem provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure I found exactly what I needed. Her attentiveness and helpfulness made the entire process a joy. I'll definitely be returning for more delightful treats and excellent service!“

“The best whole wheat croissants! Kind owner.“

“Right off the beaten path of Central Ave is Galeria. They have two little tables outside when it's nice, and inside is a cute homey and clean spot with plenty of seats. Their coffees are great and empanadas are awesome for a quick grab. Also good for chicken sandwiches and breakfast platters! Owners are very sweet. They deserve your business instead of Dunkin. Prices for lattes are better and doesn't taste like a syrupy mess. Go here!“

“Recently had our college event for 300+ people catered by Atul Bakery. Amazing food as usual and best price! Wonderful experience orchestrating everything with Mr Kishan Patel - please have Atul Bakery as your top choice for all Indian food catering events!P S: Gulaab Jamun 11/10!“

“Would have gotten a 5 star but How specifically asks for yellow mustard instead of spicy mustard on my sandwich like three times just to make sure and when I got my sandwich it was spicy mustard beside that it would have been a good sandwich there is a bit of a wait time don't mind waiting as long as my order is right“

“Came in randomly while we were walking down the street looking for a late breakfast spot. Anthony the owner was there and he served us. All of the food was great. He treated us especially well and even gave us a complimentary passion fruit mousse that he created that was absolutely delicious. This restaurant is an absolute gem of a 'hole in the wall' in the best way. You're not gonna find anything better in this category. I will definitely come again if I'm in town.“

“Great pizza. Definitely pure Italian. Love the staff there. Try a slice with sausage and it's wonderfully delicious. The bread is perfect.“

“Okafe continues to have the best baristas in Jcity. Service is always friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed. Sometimes the tables could be a little better maintained and get easily grimey and dirty from customer use.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options Ovo-veg options“

“I've ordered online a couple times now as it's a little far for me to go in person. So happy to have found this place we've tried a couple of different sandwiches and some of the breads. Everything has been fresh and delicious. My only wish is that some of your pastries, cakes were added to the online menu because we definitely would be happy to try those too! ?“

“el desayuno una maravilla, muy delicioso y bien presentado! el pan enrollado que tanto extrañaba lo conseguí aca. estuve de paseo, encontré esto y probé, volveré las veces que vaya por New York. muy acogedor.“

“Hit up this cafe below a new luxury complex and right off the West Side light rail station!Pros:•Great vibes•Cool decor•Great atmosphere•Staff was very attentive and niceCons:Still not sure if the parking lot across the street is for the public or for the light rail users“

“Old-school Jersey City establishment that stood the test of time and for many great reasons. I love artisanal bread and always search for the best bread. They make a perfect bread for sandwiches. Rolls have a nice chew and cripsy crust but a soft heart and a taste of character (like your classic Jerseysian). This place is overlooked and deserves much more recognition than many places across the river. If you're a carb lover, looking for value, and want to sink your teeth into more than 3 generations of pride and love, this is the place. Had the Meatball sandwich and cold cuts and cinnamon roll. All on point . The sandwiches are always good. They're popular for a reason but don't sleep on the other bread products. "It's a place known for great sandwiches, so why get anything else?" WRONG! Got the cinna bread on a whim, heat it up back home, and wow. New breakfast ritual. Gonna have to try the other breads. The owners are nice and great too. Tip: Cash only, closes on Monday and go early. They close early and sell out early and while it's fresh.“

“Coffee and croissants are so yummy ! Perfect combination. Ambience is cozy and refreshing“

“We ordered our engagement cake from Cocoa Bakery and were extremely happy with how everything came out. This was our first time ordering a large cake and the cake expert was very patient with us and walked us through all the various flavors/styles/fillings and was very transparent about the pricing. The cake exceeded expectation. We knew we wanted a naked cake style to match our rustic them and they worked with us finding using example pictures to style our cake exactly as we wanted. The process was no stress. We were late at ordering the cake (about 2.5 weeks out) but they had helped us confirm the cake/size quickly and once we were confirmed they took care of everything and the cake was delivered fresh on time. The cake was more than enough to feed all our guest, delicious and so fresh. The buttercream frosting was delicious and our cake expert gave us tips on how to serve it to preserve the taste. I highly recommend them! Thanks so much!“

“We were born and raised in Italy and this place is absolutely a gem of Italian pastry and focaccia, plus the kind and friendly employees. We absolutely love this place and recommend it to everyone. Keep it up... Thanks Simone.. Tomorrow we will be here again.... TOP“

“Got the two Valentine's Day meringues, one raspberry and one vanilla, both were amazing. They were soft and gooey inside, like European meringues. Unfortunately, with the weather and wind they both got crushed in the paper bag they were put in.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is on the ground floor, accessible from the sidewalk“

“I just finished the Raclette sandwich and it was by far one of the best sandwiches I have ever ate. I had to instantly stop and write a review. I have been to this cafe to get some work done and every time I've been here it is amazing. I am an absolute coffee snob and I feel like they are such great quality, the food is excellent, and the workers are warm and inviting! The seating is great and comfortable. Plus it kind of feels like someone's home which is incredible! A must visit spot and a truly hidden gem!“

“Ever since I bought my first chocolate cake here, it has been our go to place. For my soon to be sister-in-law's bachelorette party, I ordered a simple customized cake. It turned out so cute and it was such a big hit at the party. Customer service for getting the cake details we amazing. They respone with in 1 hour of inquiry. Forever love this place and their chocolate cake.“

“I like the black rice Biko(sticky rice with brown sugar) because it’s not overly sweet and hot food is pretty good too. However, it’s hard to know what you’re paying beforehand because they don’t include price tags. I’d recommend including pricing of each item so customers know what they’re paying!I do like how they include the ingredients which helps customers make decisions when they can’t eat a certain ingredient.“

“One of the best coffee shops in New York! They even have a few locations in other places. Good for insta pictures too!“

“We hired Stack Creamery as a dessert vendor for one of our wedding events and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. The team was easy to work with and it is such a fun dessert vendor to have. They have a lot of options for guests and the sandwiches taste great!!“

“I frequent Choc Pain at least 2 times per week. Service and food are good with the exception of today. I ordered a sandwich and coffee. The coffee was luke warm, not hot and tasted like mud. It was the worst coffee i ever tasted. Not sure what happened as usually the coffee is “

“best Capuccino in jersey , food was great as well as their friendly staff.“

“great coffee.,,,,!!!!!!!!!!!...........“

“Great decor, good views, friendly staff and good coffee!“

“Love their large selection of pastries, savory stuff and amazing bread. Their service is good and they offer seasonal sweets too (Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, etc.). There are a few tables to sit down but not many. The only critique I have is that their products are pricy which us why I am giving 4 stars.“

“We picked up various sweets for a corporate event and the owners were spectacular to work with! We ordered macarons, donuts, cake balls, cookies and cannolis. Everyone at the office raved about the cannolis, how beautiful the cake balls were and I personally LOVED the donut I tired. Everything was packaged well and our order was curated with attention to detail. I highly recommend this bakery!“

“This place has been in business since 2001 and the owners are blessed ?? to still be up and running. I was 19 when I first ate from here and I am almost 40 years old. The owners have always been good people and they never hiked up the price to rob the community. This tray was considered small and it was priced at $11 and the drink was $2.50. To be able to enjoy a delicious meal for that price is a blessing ?? I was able to eat 3x out of this one tray! Meat tender mac and cheese cheesy it's flavorful as hell! Wishing this establishment many more years of serving and servicing the community!“

“Food (5/5): Got an Ube flan this time and it was quite delicious and enjoyable. We got it to go and it was fresh. Service (4/5): The Ube latte we wanted was out of stock. The server was decent and got our food out quickly. Ambiance (4/5): Nice shop with good amount of seating. Overall clean and spacious.“

“The Warehouse Cafe is owned by Lackawanna Coffee. This location is open from 7-2p only. The second location, very close to the main coffee shop on Warren St. is open longer.Great ambiance, music and coffee. Will definitely be back! Love this place“

“Really good lattes and matcha lattes. I asked about the matcha brand used because I was surprised by the quality and they showed it to me and turns out it’s a well known, reputable Japanese brand. Desserts are good too. Everything a bit pricy but it’s on par with the area.Also this is a nice place to study/work as it’s usually pretty quiet and there are many outlets. But there’s not a huge amount of seating.“
