29 Best Bakeries near Manasquan

“As someone who is both vegan and gluten free, this place was like heaven on earth. They labeled everything so clearly and had such a wide variety of options of baked goods. Rivals the famous Vegan Treats bakery of Bethlehem, PA. I only wish that they had more savory offerings.“

“had the mcmuffin (tofu and tempeh?) which was just ok, and an apple cider donut. partner had the fried chicken (seitan) sandwich. portions on the sandwich were enormous, fries were good, the donut was excellent, and there were so many options to try. i would 100% go back and try more things. loved that everyone that came through the door was dressed in black, covered in tattoos, and vegan; my people.“

“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.“

“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“

“My first time today. Did a big order only to get home and find that 6 items were not in the boxes. Please have the staff check big orders. I would have called but could not find a number. Everyone was thrilled with the food, i just ran out.

Update: Owner networked thru a mutual friend and texted me directly and could not have been more accommodating. You can't ask for more from an owner. So happy to have found this place!“

But these new workers are awesome!“

“Simona’s Bakery is amazing. She made a beautiful and delicious cake for my daughter’s 30th birthday. Along with the cake we enjoyed 4 dozen of her awesome mini cupcakes. Everyone loved it all. So much so that I didn’t even get a cupcake.lol. Heading to New Jersey in a few weeks and I have every intention of picking up my own order of cupcakes. Thanks Simona and staff for helping to make my daughter’s party a success.“

“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!“

“Delicious breads, pastries, cookies and coffee!“

“I found out about the bakery while looking on Google for a one that was open late on Sunday. I tried their cupcakes and loved them. It's been almost a year now going there every week. It's run by 3 family members. Husband, wife and daughter. They are very friendly and the wife makes a special request pie for me every week and the price is very reasonable. I will keep going there and have told others about the shop.“

“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.“
