34 Best Bakeries near Point Pleasant Beach

“It's one of the best donuts I have ever had in this area. There is a lot of variety, a kind staff, and a great environment. I would definitely come back!“

“Pop's makes the best cookies!!! I ordered trays of minis for a wedding and they were fabulous! Everyone loved the chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, double chocolate chip, lemon blueberry and sugar cookies! And, they were able to provide some GF options which were also delicious. Kudos to Raechel who helped me through the ordering process. Wonderful customer service. Next we'll have to try the "regular" sized cookies!“

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

“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.“

“Alli and the Colonial Bakery team are ahhhhmazing! I cannot thank them enough. I have searched everywhere for a traditional NJ hard roll with poppy seeds and get a bakery to ship. It was a gift and not easy to find. Alli answered my emails and calls right away. The rolls arrived fresh and on time. The memories put a priceless smile on his face (he is like a dad to me and hasn't lived in Jersey in decades). Oh, and did I mention the rolls were legit and delicious!!! Thank you, Colonial Bakery!!!“

“Best bakery at the shore!!“

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

“good cookies, good variety, (i’m also doing this for points towards free deserts 😌)“

“First time customer here and let me say the NJ Instagram influencers got it right again. This little shop is amazing and I could see why it has been around for almost 100 years.

The staff here is welcoming and helpful and I got to sample some macaroons before purchasing. The coconut macaroons are 🔥. Some of the best I have ever had. It cost $22 a pound and you can mix and match. It cost $1 extra if you want it in a tub if you don't want a box. Definitely recommend getting the chocolate covered macaroons 😋. I also bought a bag of the huge chocolate chip cookies and those were also amazing.

They sell other items besides cookies, macaroons and macarons. They sell cupcakes, cakes, donuts, etc. This shop is clean and there is plenty of parking in the area.

This place is worth checking out, after spending a day at the beach or just passing through the area. I will definitely be back again in the future.“

“All the cookies are simply fresh,amazing looking, and tasty. The owners and all the employees are nice equally. I totally recommend stopping and shopping here,it will make your taste buds come to life.“

“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.“

“Every beach day deserves a sweet ending.

After an incredible day near the Jersey Shore, my sister and I were looking for one last stop before heading back to North Jersey a place where we could grab something sweet for the ride home. Once again, Google pointed us in the right direction, leading us to Sweet in Belmar.

From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we had found something special.

The bakery sits in a charming little part of town, and inside was everything we didn’t know we were looking for. Between the beautifully decorated cupcakes and the nostalgic candy that instantly took us back to childhood, we couldn’t help but smile as we looked around.

The experience became even sweeter thanks to the owners. We had the pleasure of meeting the mother and daughter team, who were incredibly kind and genuinely excited to share the story behind their family bakery. We even learned they once lived in Delaware before returning to New Jersey to open their dream business. It’s always refreshing to meet people who pour so much love into what they do.

Of course, we couldn’t leave empty handed.

We picked up a Happy Birthday chocolate cupcake, a lemon cupcake, a red velvet cupcake, a princess cupcake, a strawberry crunch cupcake, and a mermaid cupcake.

The red velvet was my personal favorite rich, moist, and perfectly balanced. My sister absolutely loved the lemon cupcake. We also enjoyed the strawberry filled cupcake, and while we both wished it had just a little more cake to match the delicious strawberry filling and frosting, the flavor itself was wonderful.

As two people who grew up loving neighborhood bakeries, we’re always searching for places that remind us why local bakeries are so special. Sweet delivered exactly that. It wasn’t just about the cupcakes it was about the warmth, the conversation, the family atmosphere, and the obvious pride they take in every item they create.

If you find yourself in Belmar and you’re craving a cupcake, nostalgic candy, or simply want to support a wonderful family owned bakery, make this one of your stops.

We’ll absolutely be back. Some sweet treats are worth making the trip for, and Sweet definitely earned a place on our list.“

“All their cookies and baked goods are delicious!!! We do not keep a Kosher home, but the cookies and baked goods are so so good and beautifully packaged! 😃“

“Their delicious Ice cream sundaes! 😋👍❤️“

“If you're cruising through Uptown Asbury Park you must stop by here. Booskerdoo isn’t just your standard pitstop for caffeine; this is their main roasting mothership, and you can see (and smell when roasting) the serious business the second you walk up to the door.

Let's talk about that liquid gold. I ordered a hot latte with whole milk, finished off with a quick dusting of cinnamon over the foam. One sip and I was hooked, we’re talking a rich, velvety microfoam floating over espresso so balanced it could walk a tightrope. Naturally, because I never meet a light roast I don't like, I got a cup of their Guatemalan El Panal to go. Bright, clean, and really smooth. It’s proof these folks know exactly what they’re doing with a coffee bean. (I hope to get there some day in my micro roaster at home. lol).

Now, I didn't initially plan on grabbing a bite, but the pastry case is a complete trap. While those peanut butter and jelly bars almost lured me in, I ended up pairing my latte with a fresh cranberry scone.

It was a match made in coffee heaven. Flaky, tender, delightfully buttery, and studded with cranberries, it’s the exact kind of pastry that turns a quick coffee run into a full-blown Sit back and relax) lingering experience.

The real showstopper inside, though, is the giant Diedrich roaster sitting right out on the floor alongside literal pallets of green coffee beans. You see Booskerdoo beans popping up at spots all over the Jersey Shore, so seeing the actual industrial engine where the magic happens is really cool. My only minor tragedy of the day? The roaster wasn't firing while I was there. I would’ve loved to hear that machine humming and soak in the full aroma of fresh-roasting beans, but hey, that just gives me an excuse to come back tomorrow.“

“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!!.“

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

“Best ice cream flavors and assortment of items!“

“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… 😞“

“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! 😋“
