As a food critic it's only natural Gelbsteins reached out to me to provide a honest review for their kokosh cake. I have to say it was perfect. Crusty on the outside. Flowing with chocolate on the inside . Had that perfect balance of crunch and softness, all in one bite

This is the best bakery on the planet hands down. Period!

Very small bakery, cake I purchased was good, cashier was great. I do wish they would carry candles for cakes, I understand it's a Jewish establishment but they have a large latin community in the area and candles may be another income for them to sell..

They always seem to screw up on special occasions. And they’re rude about it. Never again! UPDATE: I said never again but I did try twice more, and yes they did screw up both times. The bakers make such wonderful goods here...it's a shame the owners don't know how to run it better.

Lakewood original bakery! Gelbstiens only sells the most delectable delights and delicious pastries. The Chocolate And Cinamon Kokosh are incredible Danishes are out of this world Especially the Custard And the Cheese ones. They have all your standard bakery cookies and cakes of course. One of there special items are the Frog Cupcakes that they only offer once a year. My favorite thing is there new SourDough line in my opinion the best is the Olive SourDough Challah. I'm also waiting to try the SourDough Babka.

Went in yesterday around 530pm and the young man who was cleaning, a gentile, had his headphones on and I had to ask him several times about the rogalach if they were freshly made or sitting around. I asked if they sold pita bread and this kid could honestly care less that I was in the store. He gave me the wrong receipt and I had to go back to him and request the appropriate receipt. Needless to say, the rogalach was stale as can be and for $8.99 I'll be disputing the transaction through my AMEX. Pretty sad how this young kid represented the owner!
