38 Best Bakeries near Brick

“Yet another reason why 502 Bakery is my bakery of choice. Woke-up Saturday morning (4/12/2025) craving crumb coffee cake. Arrived at 502 Bakery a few minutes before 9AM, but when I approached the door the sign said, "Sorry We're Closed!" I did not realize they opened at 9:30AM. So I went back to my vehicle to wait 30-minutes until they officially opened. LOL... Wait?! Yes, the crumb cake is that good! Not more than 2-minutes later, I looked back from my vehicle to see the neon 'OPEN' sign on! Rather than having a customer wait they chose to open early. 502 Bakery's customer service matches the quality of their product. Thanks 502 team! See you again soon. Gerald S.“

“All the cookies are simply fresh,amazing looking, and tasty. The owners and all the employees are nice equally. I totally recommend stopping and shopping here,it will make your taste buds come to life.“

“This is the absolute best crumb cake I’ve ever had!“

“highly recommended!!!!!!!“

“good cookies, good variety, (i’m also doing this for points towards free deserts 😌)“

“Drove down from Bergen County the other day. Let me tell you, it was worth the trip. The coffee cake just melts in your mouth. Many other delights in this bakery. The brownies looked amazing. They also have a nice selection of gluten free items“

“First time customer here and let me say the NJ Instagram influencers got it right again. This little shop is amazing and I could see why it has been around for almost 100 years.

The staff here is welcoming and helpful and I got to sample some macaroons before purchasing. The coconut macaroons are 🔥. Some of the best I have ever had. It cost $22 a pound and you can mix and match. It cost $1 extra if you want it in a tub if you don't want a box. Definitely recommend getting the chocolate covered macaroons 😋. I also bought a bag of the huge chocolate chip cookies and those were also amazing.

They sell other items besides cookies, macaroons and macarons. They sell cupcakes, cakes, donuts, etc. This shop is clean and there is plenty of parking in the area.

This place is worth checking out, after spending a day at the beach or just passing through the area. I will definitely be back again in the future.“

“We received a box of goodies from Chocolate Carousel and they were delicious. Chocolate covered pretzels with M&Ms and peanut butter chips, cake pops and chocolate covered Oreos.😋“

“Their baked goods are out of this world! You must try their monkey bread!! It’s outstanding or their crumb cake.. to die for. Walter will get you everything you need Cheers“

“I cannot thank the team at Coastal Confections enough for the fantastic selection of cookies, cake pops etc for my daughter’s baby shower. And the cake was so tasty and was the centerpiece of the dessert table. The quality of their baked goods is a solid 10 out of 10. They were so accommodating and flexible to ensure that the desserts aligned with the theme and color scheme of the shower decor. It was a huge success. Thank you!!“

“Update: today's purchase was the miche loaf. Absolutely perfect. Amazing crust, perfect crumb, delicious taste. Bread heaven.

Living Bradley Beach is amazing, and Hey Peach is one of the reasons why. Incredible selection, wonderful staff, perfect execution. Is there sometimes a line? Absolutely, and it's there for a reason. Get in line and enjoy!!“

“I have visited the Red Rose Bakery in Howell a number of times and loved everything I have tried. The apple turnovers were delicious, the selection of cupcakes was amazing, and it is wonderful to have the ability to buy just a portion of a cake when you don't have a large family. This morning I called with a last minute request for 20 cupcakes in 10 containers of two each for my dogs birthday! I wanted to bring them to his Saturday morning class with his doggie friends. I already had a cake for the dogs but had neglected their human partners. I was so pleased with the lovely selection and packaging on such short notice! Thank you Red Rose Bakery!“

“Every beach day deserves a sweet ending.

After an incredible day near the Jersey Shore, my sister and I were looking for one last stop before heading back to North Jersey a place where we could grab something sweet for the ride home. Once again, Google pointed us in the right direction, leading us to Sweet in Belmar.

From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we had found something special.

The bakery sits in a charming little part of town, and inside was everything we didn’t know we were looking for. Between the beautifully decorated cupcakes and the nostalgic candy that instantly took us back to childhood, we couldn’t help but smile as we looked around.

The experience became even sweeter thanks to the owners. We had the pleasure of meeting the mother and daughter team, who were incredibly kind and genuinely excited to share the story behind their family bakery. We even learned they once lived in Delaware before returning to New Jersey to open their dream business. It’s always refreshing to meet people who pour so much love into what they do.

Of course, we couldn’t leave empty handed.

We picked up a Happy Birthday chocolate cupcake, a lemon cupcake, a red velvet cupcake, a princess cupcake, a strawberry crunch cupcake, and a mermaid cupcake.

The red velvet was my personal favorite rich, moist, and perfectly balanced. My sister absolutely loved the lemon cupcake. We also enjoyed the strawberry filled cupcake, and while we both wished it had just a little more cake to match the delicious strawberry filling and frosting, the flavor itself was wonderful.

As two people who grew up loving neighborhood bakeries, we’re always searching for places that remind us why local bakeries are so special. Sweet delivered exactly that. It wasn’t just about the cupcakes it was about the warmth, the conversation, the family atmosphere, and the obvious pride they take in every item they create.

If you find yourself in Belmar and you’re craving a cupcake, nostalgic candy, or simply want to support a wonderful family owned bakery, make this one of your stops.

We’ll absolutely be back. Some sweet treats are worth making the trip for, and Sweet definitely earned a place on our list.“

“Got some really tasty croissants here. The service was excellent. Like beyond excellent.
Loved the variety of breads. It's a cute shop that does mostly breads and bakes on site. Great place to support if you are in the area or want croissants or breads!“

“Love this bakery! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Cakes are beautiful!“

“Wonderful place. Cozy and delicious. Like Europe.“

“Alli and the Colonial Bakery team are ahhhhmazing! I cannot thank them enough. I have searched everywhere for a traditional NJ hard roll with poppy seeds and get a bakery to ship. It was a gift and not easy to find. Alli answered my emails and calls right away. The rolls arrived fresh and on time. The memories put a priceless smile on his face (he is like a dad to me and hasn't lived in Jersey in decades). Oh, and did I mention the rolls were legit and delicious!!! Thank you, Colonial Bakery!!!“

“I ordered a dozen bundtinis on line for my daughter’s birthday. They were ready when I arrived to pick them up and looked wonderful. They were so delicious. Everyone enjoyed them. They’re great to bring to someone’s home and perfect to serve at your own home. The shop is so cute. I will definitely be back!“

“I ordered my daughter a birthday cake here. A strange request for strawberry cake with lemon buttercream. Kiersten nailed it! Beautiful and delicious. Our new favorite bakery. Can’t wait to try more deliciousness.“

“My favorite candy/snack is chocolate covered pretzels and since going vegan/dairy free its been hard to find them anywhere. BUT these are the BEST chocolate covered pretzels just like i used to eat. i love them!! My favorite candy! You cant even tell they are gluten free too. Anyone, vegan or not, would love these. I order them online and didn’t realize they have a store in NJ!! I will stop by one day for sure and i look forward to it! Please keep making the chocolate covered pretzels!!“

“So many freshly-baked items, I had a hard time choosing. My students were thrilled that I went out of my way to shop here. While I bought 4 different items, I needed to get triple the amount of black and white cookies. I know now for next time. So many compliments and thank yous as students picked some of each item.“

“Lakewood Shmura Matzoh Bakery is one of those places that, the second you walk in, you feel like you just stepped straight into Erev Pesach in the old country — only with better lighting and a lot more Lakewood energy. 😄
First of all, the smell. That warm, toasty, fresh-off-the-fire shmura matzah smell hits you and suddenly you’re like, “Okay… I’m ready to say Kol chamira right now.” The whole operation has that serious Yiras Shamayim vibe — you can tell this isn’t some “matzah factory,” it’s a matzah avodah. Everyone’s moving with purpose, like it’s a well-rehearsed seder of zerizus.
And if you come at the right time and get to see the process? Wow. You’re watching people working quickly, carefully, focused — and you’re thinking, “This is not a bakery, this is basically a live shiur in Hilchos Matzah.” The heat, the timing, the coordination… it’s like a whole chaburah in action, except instead of arguing on a Tosafos, they’re making sure every second counts.
The matzos themselves? Geshmak. Crisp, fresh, and clearly made with pride. You take one bite and you already know your Pesach is going to be on a higher level — like your seder table just got an automatic upgrade. And yes, it’s shmura — but it also tastes like it was made by people who actually care that it should be delicious, not just technically kosher.
Also, the location inside Excel Park is classic Lakewood: from the outside it looks like a regular industrial spot, and inside it’s literally kedushas Pesach headquarters. Hidden gem vibes. (If you know, you know.)
Bottom line: If you want real Lakewood shmura matzah, made with care, zerizus, and a healthy dose of that pre-Pesach excitement — this is the place. Just don’t blame me when you start feeling like you need to do bedikas chametz the second you leave.“

“We ordered from Sesame for an office meeting and were really impressed. The food arrived on time, beautifully packaged and very presentable. It came with all the utensils and serving pieces we needed, which made setup so easy. Everything was fresh, delicious, and generous. The whole team loved it. Highly recommend for office lunches or corporate meetings.“

“All their cookies and baked goods are delicious!!! We do not keep a Kosher home, but the cookies and baked goods are so so good and beautifully packaged! 😃“

“crumb buns and cream filled donuts“

“Had a good experience but a little disappointed that my “J” bread for st Joseph’s day was a backwards J…. I didn’t notice until I took it out for dinner tonight… 😞“

“I ordered a cake for my 75th birthday - chocolate cake, chocolate mousse filling and chocolate whipped cream (more like a mocha). It was the best cake ever and everyone raved about it. With all the chocolate you would think it would be very sweet but it wasn’t. Very light and not at all sweet. I have also gotten cookies from there several and they were delicious. I highly recommend Red Rise Bakery!!.“

“Sugar bakeshop provided the most beautiful baby shower cake for my daughters baby shower at Half moon point grill. Not only was it delicious, it was made with so much attention to the theme. Take a look at the photo, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Five stars, cake was fresh and moist and delicious. Great job, thank you. Update ; Sugar bake shop closed and new people took over the space. They did custom sugar cookies and baptism cake delivered to venue . The cookies were beautiful and cake delicious.“

“Best ice cream flavors and assortment of items!“

“Our wedding cake came from Cameo. It was amazing! It was everything I wanted on our wedding day, beautiful, light and incredibly delicious! I highly recommend Cameo for anyone who is looking for a bakery for their wedding cake.“

“If you’re in Lakewood and you have even a drop of a sweet tooth, Gelbstein’s is basically a ניסיונות station. You walk in “just to look,” and two minutes later you’re leaving with a box, a bag, and a third thing you don’t remember agreeing to… because the smell of fresh pastry makes you sign away your free will. 😄
First of all, everything is fresh. Not “fresh-ish.” I mean fresh fresh — like the danishes are still warm and the crumbs are already following you home. The rugelach/danish vibe is top-tier, the pastries are flaky in a way that makes you whisper “וואו” without realizing, and the challah is the kind that turns a regular Shabbos table into a whole simcha.
And it’s not just the classics — they’ve got fun stuff too (those cute cupcakes and seasonal things), so it’s perfect when you need:
a quick treat for the car (aka: “for later”),
something respectable to bring to a vort/Sheva Brachos,
or a Shabbos dessert that looks like you put in effort (בלי עין הרע).
Also, the place has a very heimish, local feel — you’ll bump into half of Lakewood in there, all pretending they’re “only buying one thing.” Sure. We all believe you.
Bottom line: delicious, consistent, and dangerous in the best way.
Highly recommend — just don’t come in hungry unless you’re okay with your wallet doing teshuvah afterward. 😄“

“The inside is designed so well with tons of details and the outside is a perfect spot for a get together. Best Pretzels around and their signature recipes were top notch. Lets not forget about the canoli cream!! Highly Recommend.“

“Their delicious Ice cream sundaes! 😋👍❤️“

“It's one of the best donuts I have ever had in this area. There is a lot of variety, a kind staff, and a great environment. I would definitely come back!“

“Absolutely the best store. If you're looking for a beautiful and delicious treat you must go here. The gift trays are beautifully wrapped and ready to go for any occasion. They have Cholov Yisroel and Parve chocolates and treats. Highly recommend to stop by and see their selection for yourself.“

“Beautifully decorated Baby Shower cake and delicious! The hit of the party“

“When I ordered a full sheet birthday cake (in person) the salesclerk was patient, professional and attentive to the details I requested. Great customer service! At pickup in Jan 2025, the large heavy cake was carried out to the car for me. It was beautifully decorated and exactly as expected. Again, great customer service! Best of all, at the party, many of our guests raved about the delicious cake. A fresh and moist chocolate cake filled with chocolate custard and iced with whipped cream. Excellent!“
