40 Best Bakeries near Long Branch

“My kids love to stop in every time we come to the beach. Nothing better than a good cookie or cake after a long day of play. The lobster tails are delicious and light to the crunch!! Highly recommend🙌🏽“

“Mexican restaurant with an exquisite flavor in every dish you taste, very friendly service in a warm family atmosphere.

“We were there on Monday of Labor Day Weekend and the staff and the place was amazing! You can imagine the rush when you go to a place like that on Labor Day weekend, add on top of that exhausted parents and over stimulated kids and it’s a recipe for disaster. But they were so patient and amazing and considerate and helpful when we were there. The portions are insane. The cookies are beyond amazing, still fresh 3 days later! And you’re on the beach. What more could you ask for? I’ll def be back!“

“Fanagle has always been a local staple in Long Branch and admired by so many locals for decades. Yes, sometimes there are long lines… however, this is telling of the quality of food Fanagle provides. I’d be more concerned if the place was empty, which, it never is. Once again, a good sign.

It is an over the counter ordering establishment and the staff always brings you your order to your table if you have chosen to eat inside. Due to the increased traffic and long lines the staff can understandably be overwhelmed and most likely annoyed by the amount of rude customers that walk in there. In fact, they do a wonderful job dealing with people who are not so kind.

Krystal and team always say hello and I have never had a bad breakfast at Fanagle. The bagels are amazing, the breakfast sandwiches will cure anything in about 30 seconds and I love the old school vibe. The last thing we need in NJ is another bagel place that looks like a hospital serving hospital food and Fanagle feels like home.

Fanagle is the staple we all grew up with and will continue to be one of our favorite spots.“

“I REALLY want to give this place a 5. The ambience, decor, vibes, workers, etc are all so wonderful. They have a shelf of free needs. They have awesome movies playing, tons of board games, and a million other cool things..In general, I love everything about this place...except the food - this does not count the bakery stuff, which are all yummy and scrumptious.

I've been there 3 times now, though, and the food has ranged from mid to miss, which is really unfortunate. There's just too many elite vegan places around the area as well, so I generally don't choose this place as a 1st option.

So, I'd say if you're looking for a treat and some coffee and a place to hang, this place is unbeatable. If you're looking for a vegan meal up to par with this area, I can't honestly reccomend it.“

“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 breads are amazing! I wish they were close by.“

“I had such a wonderful experience with the Vintage Cake. I ordered a specialty cake and macaron favor boxes for my bridal shower and received so many compliments regarding both components. The quality of the products is well worth the money- in both flavor and design. Everyone was so helpful- from helping me with the design to the day of the pick up. I am so happy with how everything turned out and will definitely be placing more orders for future events!“

“Thank you Ridiculous Farms for the amazing breads, butters, and goodies throughout the year! I absolutely love your bread, and the time and care you put into everything you make! We highly recommend Ridiculous Farms for the most delicious, flavorful, and amazing sourdough breads! If you have not tried them, please put it on your 2026 list!!!“

“I highly recommend Confections of a Rock$tar! Hands down the BEST cupcakes around!“

“This bakery is ridiculous. Get to this place and enjoy it before they go somewhere bigger.

The pastries are all made with so much care and I have yet to get a bad one. They all so delicious and authentic.

The coffee…. EXCELLENT. And not overcharged like most of the coffee shops and roasters around here. My wife and I are beginning to really cherish this spot.“

“Great place with fresh donuts and pastries!! Boston creme and coffee roll were so good! 😊“

“Best bakery at the shore!!“

“A few years ago, I began the search to find a good cake/baking supply store. Michaels is OK for last minute items but I wanted a “Go To” place. When I went to the internet, Shore Cake Supply was the 1st one to pop up. I live in North Jersey so it’s an hour or so drive for me BUT I drove there and had a “me” shopping spree. I’ve taken a class or two and even suggested to Jennifer that I wouldn’t be opposed to her opening a second location in North Jersey 😉. All I can say is just go there. You WON’T be disappointed. They are friendly, kind, helpful and MOST importantly.. honest! Oh, and I would travel as far as needed to go there. ❤️“

“The BEST Carrot Cake I’ve ever had! 🥕🍰“

“BEST BAKERY AROUND!!!! Ordered a custom cake for our daughter in law’s baby sprinkle. I can’t rave about it enough!! It was better than I could of imagined!! Thank you Matt for a beautiful delicious cake. Everyone was and still is raving about it!!!“

“Best bakery in the area, so many fresh choices. our favorites are the eclairs, crumb cake and cupcakes.“

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

“I recently ordered macaroons for a business meeting. The service was excellent, the products were also excellent. I thought all varieties of the macaroons were delicious as did all attendees. I have celiac disease so the macaroons I purchased were gluten-free. I will purchase these products again, the Macaroon Shop is highly recommended. Keith Singer, Attorney At Law, Jackson NJ.“

“I just moved into the neighborhood and found this delicious gem not far from home. Fresh pastry, great coffee choices, and espresso on request. Staff are friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Sweet! provided the most beautiful and delicious desserts for a shower I recently hosted. Lena and Cali really brought my vision to reality and guests raved about both the presentation and taste. If you want good old-fashioned customer service you cannot go wrong with this lovely family owned business. Thank you, Lena and Cali!!“

“Mav's Top Buns was absolutely wonderful as we went there for the first time in March 2026. We got a box of an OG, a blueberry crumb, thin mint and banana pudding. They were all absolutely delicious with just the right amount of doughiness and sweetness, without being overly sweet as many buns often tend to be. Service was terrific as well and the new owners are great people, who seem to truly care about both their customers and their staff. We'll definitely be back for more buns. Can't wait to see what flavors they come out with next!“

“Stopped by for breakfast after a hike around Rocky Point Trail. I had the ham and cheese croissant and my friends had the almond croissant. They were both phenomenal. I'm a savory fan so the thick salty ham at the center made me happy. The almond croissant had some chocolate and was decadent as well. The interior is so pretty with its pastries and decor. Service was quick and we were able to sit at their tables outside and enjoy our croissants in the nice weather.“

“Everything was delish, especially the cookies“

“So happy you guys reopened, a staple of my childhood! Best bagels at the Jersey Shore hands down, and now they offer delicious homemade spreads! I got the mini with Veggie cream cheese and that will be in my weekend rotation from now on. Also the entire place is sparkling clean. I can't believe its the same place. Bravo!!

Vegetarian options: Limitless veggie options!“

“Kosher bakery with everything you can think of. They offer cakes, cookies, bread, challah, pastries etc... and even sell pizza and sushi. This bakery is the go to bakery in this town and is extremely popular. The pi,za and sushi can have very long waits in the summer especially during peak hours.

Dietary restrictions: Fully kosher yashan pat n chalav yisrael

Parking: Easy to find parking on street on regular days. During peak season parking can be rough.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Awesome bread. The bread room is open to the public and they also do wholesale. Rustic Italian sesame seed loaf as a baguette style is amazing. Buy 3 if you want 1 to make it home!“

“I have had these Bundt cakes for many occasions and they are always delicious. The staff at the store is always pleasant and polite. The store is so cute and always clean and organized. Thank you making our events so special 😍“

“I highly recommend Edible Art Custom Cakes & Chocolates !!!I have been using Debbie for years!! My friends and family always, always, always rave about how beautiful her cakes are and how delicious all of her desserts taste!!!Debbie only uses the finest and freshest ingredients and doesn’t skimp on anything!! Her attention to detail is impeccable and her expertise and knowledge is impressive!!Debbie knows exactly how to turn my vision into a beautiful, delicious masterpiece! Every single time!!!!“

“Everything was delicious nice place good service“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, delicious coffee🖤“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Crumbl Cookie in Ocean Township is always a hit! The cookies are fresh, warm, and packed with flavor every single time. The staff was super friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely one of my go-to dessert spots — highly recommend! 🍪🔥“

“These cookies are so easy to prepare. They start out as frozen balls of cookie dough that you arrange on the included parchment paper then bake! After just 15 minutes, you have the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Moist and chewy with melted chips inside and a crisp, golden cookie finish on the outside. Delicious and made right here in NJ. Buy local, eat deliciousness!“

“There's a new guy in charge! The guy with the glasses and does the cooking, he is legit and doesn't forget anything. He's very cool.

These bad reviews were from a year ago when they had different workers and yes, they were horrible.

But these new workers are awesome!“

“I visited yesterday morning before work and had a great experience. This location has a team that stands out from other locations. It fits in wonderfully with Red Bank’s culture even though it’s a recognized franchise brand and the coffee is delicious. The chocolate and strawberry croissants are very fresh. I love the modern aesthetic and layout mixed with the friendly atmosphere. I felt like I was in an high end “Mom and Pop shop”. It was also cleaner than most of the local coffee shops. Definitely suggest coming here if you want some reliably quick and tasty food/coffee in a busy Red Bank“

“Such great staff and delicious pretzels!“

“What a choice of bagels and cream cheese! I worked with Maria for a special event for the PR Council of Greater AC. She was more than helpful and the bagels were fresh and delicious! We will be back every time! Thank you!“

“Such a cute place. Counter guy very friendly. Great smoothies..will definitely be my to go place for coffee“
