27 Best Bakeries near Manalapan

“The best food and the greatest staff ever!! We love having Bruzzese’s in Manalapan 💗“

“Best bread in the area I love the challah breads and cheese danish the freshest I’ve ever tasted. Will be back again and again because this place really is a gem. There aren’t anymore bakery’s in New Jersey so I’m happy they are open?“

“I Love this bagel shop. Especially the french toast bagels. It's small, but it has a very friendly atmosphere. And the service is great. Good coffee. Many different kinds of cream cheese and bagels to choose from. They also have a good selection of cold drinks too. The Servers give you service of smile. Not sure of what time they open but I know the close at 3 PM and it's a cash only business, but there is a ATM on the premises. So if you're anywhere near the shopping center In one , try something good to Yorktown Bagel“

“Had a catering order. Placed the order a week in advance. The morning if pickup, the order states that it was ready when it was not. Got to the store and told them i was there for a catering pickup. No one said anything and they started to scramble to package everything. We paid extra to get the cookies in individual boxes. Upon getting the order noticed that nothing was in individual boxes. Now I have to scramble before an event to package these things. Do not get a large order from here.

Edit: cookies were delicious and we still had to make the boxes and pack the cookies ourselves the morning of our event but the store did right by us and gave us a refund.“

“By far best bagel in the area. Would give 5 stars but knocked off one for the customer service. The two ladies there working had zero personality and seemed like they just hate life. I got maybe 3 words out of the lady. All I got was a “Next” when it was my turn to order, didn’t even ask me what I wanted and then I was told the price and got no response to me saying thank you and have a good day. I came in the store saying good morning and thank you after I placed my order so I don’t get the lack of common courtesy and simple conversation. Would I go back….I would for the delicious bagel, but if I get that kind of interaction again it might not be worth it after that.“

“Angy’s Homemade Cakes are delicious. Fresh, moist, flavorful and beautiful. Norma was very accommodating, responsive and professional. Highly recommend. 😋“

“If you’re looking for someone to make your kid’s birthday extra special, look no further than Gimme S’more! 💕 I used them for my son’s 5th birthday and I was blown away. The owner was such a great communicator and seriously went above and beyond. She even ordered the monster trucks herself to make my son's cake vision come to life! and let me tell you, a monster truck crashing into the cake is about as cool as it gets for a 5-year-old boy. 🛞💥🎂 My son was obsessed! And the Funfetti cupcakes? Oh. My. Gosh. SO moist, so yummy, and they disappeared faster than I could grab one for myself 😂. To top it off, she delivered everything right to the party which made life 100x easier. Highly recommend!! Gimme S’more CRUSHED 🏁 it! 🧁✨“

“My wife’s birthday was this past week. The only thing she asked for was a cake from Turquoise! And that’s what she got. The fluffiest, sweetest Red Velvet cake and Cream Cheese. Decorated to perfection! I’m trying to post a photo or two but the app won’t allow it. Oh well… take my word for it. Delicious.“

“I just had the best cake for my son’s 50th. Not only did it look great but it was delicious! I will be back for every event! Their pastries were amazing as well and the girl behind the counter couldn’t have been more helpful. She even brought the cake to my car!!“

“We just had Tuscany Old Bridge BBQ cater our wedding this past weekend. They surpassed every expectation! Anne treated us as if she has known us for years! She took such good care of us. Our griller, Mike and his wife Pat who was our server, were absolutely the best! Our 60 family and friends are still raving about the food! It made our wedding such a memorable occasion! I highly, highly recommend them. We will be repeat customers!“

“This is an incredible neighborhood gem! I saw this place was recommended on NextDoor so when I was in Monroe, NJ for a doctors appt on Thurs. 1/29, I made a point to stop here. I ordered a cappuccino(or maybe a latte, I can't remember) and the #5 breakfast caprese. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! Coffee drink had cinnamon added which was an extra sieve all touch. And they brought both to my table. It was a bit in the pricier side but the portions and food quality made it worth it. Highly recommend! Just wish I lived closer! I want to try their perogis.“

“Everything in this establishment is just delicious and a bit of heaven. From the service to the cleanliness to the most delicious food and let’s not forget how wonderful the owners and staff treat you. I’ve been here two times and I always leave with a smile on my face. And a nice full stomach their food is outrageous. Their service is impeccable and I highly recommend them. Thank you for always being nice to me and my children when we go to your establishment.“

“This is my second cake from Abbate and it was a complete success for my daughters graduation party! Excellent quality! And packaged perfect for transport!“

“Papa Ganache is by far my favorite gluten-free bakery/eatery in NJ. They are so beyond accommodating and the food tastes too good to be real! They did my wedding cake too! Highly recommend.“

“A friend of mine recommended Fancy Cakes & I'm so happy she did! Krystina made AMAZING cakes for my son & husbands birthdays in April & last week made a gorgeous cake for my sons communion, plus the most delicious mini chocolate chip cookies & brownies I & my guests ever had. Everything for both parties was perfection. I am beyond happy!“

“Best fruit cake I ever had“

“Really glad I found this nut-free spot in Red Bank. As someone with a nut allergy, it’s not easy finding places where I don’t have to second guess everything — but here, everything’s 100% nut-free and clearly labeled. Their cookies and snacks are awesome. Super fresh, great flavor, and no weird allergy-friendly aftertaste like some places have. Just legit good stuff that happens to be safe. Staff is great , the place is clean, and it’s just nice having a go-to spot where I don’t have to worry. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.“

“Sweet Lady! Excellent cakes! Best prices! GREAT taste. I highly recommend for best flavors, decorations, and customer service. She and her son will go above and beyond for all your needs I am truly blessed to have found such a great home family Bakery at my service“

“Best cafe in the area! Delicious baked good and the breakfast board is excellent! I want to eat everything when I go! Only open on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) so plan your visit!“

“We ordered a cake very late before an event, they were so nice and prompt about it. we told them that we wanted the cake to be tall and gold, gave them the flavors, and told them to design it however they wanted! the cake was decorated amazing! it’s gorgeous. and usually pretty cakes don’t taste good but it was so moist! we got the canoli, and chocolate fudge and the canoli is sooo good! chocolate was also good but we all liked canoli better! the cake was 80$ super affordable compared to other places, it fed about 16-20 people!! totally recommend!!“

“This was our first time visiting a Cinnabon storefront. Very clean, bright, and modern inside. The owner is very friendly and warm - he answered all the questions that we had. We got 2 Cinnabons and 1 minibon - both options were great. I also got a cold brew coffee which was very good - not too sweet! We will be back :)“

“Absolutely delicious 2 tier cake for my son's engagement party. Sophia decorated it beautifully !! with the fresh roses I brought in the day before. Vanilla cake French cream with fresh strawberries and blueberries +whipped cream icing sooo yummy. I will always get my cakes from la dolce in old bridge. Highly recommend“

“They will make the hot coffee fresh if you ask them to-which of course they should. If you're pre-diabetic maybe cinnamon rolls are not the best food to eat, but delicious. No, I do not indulge often. Not often at all because I'm currently far from wealthy. I'm far from rolling in the dough. No pun intended. The young woman with the glasses is kind, and I do not mean that in a weird way. Actually, one of the employees will not always make it fresh-communicating to me they made it 45 minutes ago & will not make it again. Yes, I contacted the owner about the profoundly rude behavior towards me on more than one occasion without getting into specifics.“

“They made a smash cake for my niece's first birthday. It was DESTROYED- she loved it!! I took a nibble and I don't blame her- that cake was gooood!! I use Bruno's for almost all of my events. Can't recommend them enough!“

“Yummy!! Love the speciality donuts!!“
