🥐 breakfast sandwich w/ bacon
🥐 bacon, egg & cheese hand pie
🥐 baked potato pretzel twist
🥐 banana bread
🥐 espresso chai scone
🥐 pineapple upside down crueller

And we drank ice coffee, warm apple cider and an iced chai.

Some of the flavors are unexpected but I think that’s what makes this place fun. The laminated dough was insane. So flakey. So buttery. Soooo good. The baked potato pretzel twist and breakfast sandwich on everything roll were my favorites - could’ve eaten 12 of each.“

We love this place and think you will as well.“

“If you're looking for a delightful culinary experience, look no further than Taam Eden Bakery in New Square! This hidden gem has quickly become my go-to spot for fresh baked goods and mouthwatering treats.

From the moment you step inside, the inviting aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries envelops you, setting the stage for an incredible experience. The selection is impressive, featuring everything from traditional challah and bagels to an array of delicious pastries that are hard to resist.

The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite. I particularly recommend their signature babka—it's perfectly rich, moist, and beautifully braided. Each slice is a heavenly combination of chocolate and cinnamon, making it an absolute must-try. Their rugelach is also exceptional, with just the right amount of sweetness and a flaky texture that melts in your mouth.

The staff at Taam Eden Bakery are friendly and welcoming, always ready to help you choose the perfect treat or answer any questions you may have. Their passion for baking shines through in their customer service, making each visit feel special.

Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, a midday snack, or to pick up treats for a gathering, Taam Eden Bakery is the place to be. It's a fantastic spot to indulge your sweet tooth or enjoy a savory bite. I can't recommend it enough—definitely a five-star experience! 🍞🥐✨“

I expect to be a regular!“

“Growing up, jelly donuts were at the bottom of my list in terms of flavors. I would eventually eat one, but it would be my last choice. A Polish coworker told me about how beloved jelly donuts are in Poland and I was skeptical of how good a jelly donut could be.

Then I found myself at Kohout Bakery and I've completely changed my tune, because damn, the raspberry jelly donuts are ridiculously good. It's the jelly. It's a very good jelly. It's not gummy or thick. It's full of raspberry flavor and there is plenty of the jelly in each donut. Even a couple of days after purchase, when the donut is a little stale, the donut is still so good because that jelly keeps the interior moist.

Other items in the store are also delicious, including the cream cheese cookies. They are not too sweet and have a great balance of flavors.

The service is very friendly and helpful, always patient with me and my indecisions.

Be prepared to bring cash, but the prices are also very affordable, so you can still get plenty of treats for under $10.

Make the trip out to Kohout Bakery!“

“This bakery is outstanding!! They have phenomenal products that are beyond description!! You will not be disappointed with your purchase here!!“
