Gelbstein's Bakery is known for its exceptional customer service and dedication to quality. The owner, Chaim, takes pride in his store, ensuring that every customer has a great experience. The bakery offers a wide variety of delicious pastries, including babkas, Kokosh cake, and challah. The Kokosh cake is particularly praised for its "oogey gooey doughey goodness" and perfect balance of crunch and softness, with food critics highlighting its crusty exterior and chocolate-filled interior. Recently, customers enjoyed an amazing selection of donuts during Chanukah, featuring around 20 flavors, with the dairy Oreo donut standing out as a favorite. The bakery, operating since 1934 and certified 'U' Kosher, is worth the 45-minute drive for its high-quality pastries and the welcoming atmosphere. Though there is a great variety of pastries and breads, some customers expressed a desire for more dessert-style options.
