48 Best Bakeries near Ocean

“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. ❤️“

“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!“

“The best place around! A real shining light in the heckscape. So much great food between the staggering amount of sandwich and crunchwrap options (I recommend getting a side of the kale slaw too!) and all the baked goods (I recommend the donuts!). The place itself rules with VHS tapes running all day and more art on the walls than a museum (my favorite is the duck in the top corner near the bathroom door!). Everyone who works there is a true gem of a person. A place that is actually doing right in a world of wrongs. Also it's only a short easy drive from the beach and Asbury.

Pro tip is to call in and order ahead of time!!

Seriously, get the donuts. The best vegan donuts I've ever had and I've had a lot.“

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

“Got some really tasty croissants here. The service was excellent. Like beyond excellent.
Loved the variety of breads. It's a cute shop that does mostly breads and bakes on site. Great place to support if you are in the area or want croissants or breads!“

“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.😋“

“Visited here on a recommendation from a couple of people and I am SO happy I did!!! I may or may not have waited 45 minutes as it was a holiday weekend (eek!) but with how delicious everything was I'd do it all over again. The store is small, so only a handful of people can comfortably fit in there at a time.

I got so many things because I was too excited. My must trys are the cream puffs, cinnamon roll, glazed croissants, and potato turnover (think croissant dough stuffed with samosa filling!!). The cardamom bun was lightly sweet and unique, similar to the warm spices of a chai. The only thing I was disappointed in was the chocolate chip cookie, which had a crunchy texture instead of a soft and chewy one, but that's personal preference.

Despite being incredibly busy the staff was kind, accommodating, and I never once felt like I was being rushed. They made sure to answer any questions I had about the pastries and baked goods.

Would 10000% come back again! :)“

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

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

“What better day to visit the Macaroon Shop than on National Macaroon Day?!?!
This bakery has been around for years - since 1930! The workers were friendly and helpful. They didn’t realize it was Macaroon Day, but placed a sign on the door before we left. We hope that had many others stop by to celebrate.
There are tables inside, if you want to stay and have coffee and goodies, as we did. The chocolate covered macaroon was the best of the bunch. They also have beautiful cakes. Pricey. We found street parking easily.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, delicious coffee🖤“

“If you are looking for a custom cake that looks amazing and tastes delicious, I highly recommend Cups & Cakes in Rumson. Denise and her team created a wonderful cake for our daughter with her college logo/High School grad. Everybody loved it! They go above and beyond to make your vision a reality! Thanks, Denise!“

“Their delicious Ice cream sundaes! 😋👍❤️“

“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!“

“The inside is designed so well with tons of details and the outside is a perfect spot for a get together. Best Pretzels around and their signature recipes were top notch. Lets not forget about the canoli cream!! Highly Recommend.“

“Delicious breads, pastries, cookies and coffee!“

“Our wedding cake came from Cameo. It was amazing! It was everything I wanted on our wedding day, beautiful, light and incredibly delicious! I highly recommend Cameo for anyone who is looking for a bakery for their wedding cake.“

“Had a good experience but a little disappointed that my “J” bread for st Joseph’s day was a backwards J…. I didn’t notice until I took it out for dinner tonight… 😞“

“We took our dog to Asbury Park Dog Beach for first time and randomly searched for coffee, didn’t know we find the hippest nicest spot ever! My flat white was amazing and my wife’s oatmeal with the strawberry compote was one of the best breakfast items we ever found anywhere. Thank you!!“

“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🙌🏽“

“My home away from home! Or is my home my home away from home? Either way, come visit me sometime! <3“

“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!“

“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“

“Love coming here for the chocolate flavor. 🍨🍫“

“Everything was delicious nice place good service“

“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 😍“

“Such great staff and delicious pretzels!“

“Had cookies made for my sisters 60th Birthday they were adorable.. sunflowers. Dani was pleasant personable and did exactly what I wanted as per cookie designs. The cookies were wrapped in clear cellophane bags and were yummy! 😋“

“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!“

“Been going here since it opened, as a great place to sit in the sun outdoors, or inside at the various seating options. Fine coffee, great service from long time friendly staff members here, and a top place for casual meetings on the West Side of Red Bank. Limited but tasty food options.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Paris Baguette in Red Bank! Regina was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive throughout my visit. She went above and beyond to answer my questions and made sure I had everything I needed. The bakery itself was clean, welcoming, and had so many delicious options to choose from. I’ll definitely be back, and I hope to be helped by Regina again!“

“Since I was looking forward to visiting pier village again this year this is one spot I was looking forward to trying. Here you can mix and match cookies or brownie. They also offer good selection of ice cream flavors and toppings. They also offer indoor snd outdoor seating. I decided to try the combination of s brownie with a Nutella chocolate chunk cookie & ice flavor of caramel pretzel fudge. It was delicious, with so many possible combinations you really can't go wrong. During summer its a very popular spot so lines tend to build up but they move quickly. Prices are reasonable so it won't break the bank. If you're in the area definitely worth stopping by.“

“Cupcakes and Baked goods were Absolutely Delicious and the presentation was beautiful for my grandsons 1st Birthday Party. Great Job!! We will definitely use you again in the future.“

“Great place to shop for fresh frozen food“

“Best bagels in the area!! Hands down!!“

“What a wonderful experience I had unexpectedly today stopping in here while shopping with my daughter. I
Didn’t expect to buy anything but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the reasonable prices. I’m very discriminating when ordering at “Italian Specialty Shops “ because of working in the 5 boroughs of the City. This place is a family on gem with personable owners and workers ! I’ll will be back! Go here!!!“

“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!“

“hands down my favorite coffee shop. The two girls behind the counter are so friendly and seem to know every customers order by heart. The coffee is always delicious and the service is always quick; everything served with a smile! i’d give more than five stars to this store and their staff!“

“Great service great crepes def recommend! The Elvis is to die for! �“
