i made my family get up early to wait on line at this bakery just to judge reagan's opinion of apple fritters. jk jk but still it was definitely on my mind. the reviews are accurate. you will wait. the week before labor day on a wednesday morning we arrived around 7:30am and still had about a 30 minute wait until we were out the door with our precious box. we got a few fritters, the cinnamon roll, and a few donuts. here is how we rated everything: [[HIGHLIGHT]]donuts: 8.5/10 ; fresh and airy, perfect frosting and filling. delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]fritters: 6/10 ; they were fried too hard for my liking which gave them a semi-crunchy exterior. not enough apple filling but i can definitely see why they are popular even if they are not my cup of tea. inside was chewy with nice ribbons of cinnamon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]cinnamon roll: 10/10 ; i would walk through broken glass to eat this for breakfast. i think we got more of the coffee roll style cinnamon roll because it was basically like a yeast donut dough but it was perfectly cinnamoned (word?), light, and sugary from the glaze. i'm clearly still dreaming about it. its not like a chewy buttery cinnabun at all. amazinggg.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] overall, would i wait again? yes, but send one adult early in the morning to bring them back. leave the family behind since this place is all business. read more

First visit here. At 7:15am, as you drive along Pacific, there are just a few souls out and about. But as you near Britton's Gourmet Bakery the street becomes alive. We arrived at 7:15am to a line half way down the block from Britton's. And a glorious smell wafted down the block. It took us about40 minutes to entry the bakery, where we found 5 or 6 workers energetically filling customer orders. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went right for the home run - a box full of apple fritters and a chocolate glazed donut for the road. They were delicious, sweet, gooey, and filling[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. This won't be the last time for us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Highly recommend the apple fritters![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Britton's Gourmet Bakery - 7:15am on a Friday in the summer - Bakeries Near Me - Wildwood Crest, New Jersey

Locals and savvy vacationers know to get here before 8 AM during the summer or you're not going to get what you want. In fact you may not get anything because when they sell out they close. It happened to me a few summers ago until I learned my lesson that some people lined up at 6:30- 7 o'clock in the morning. I take my chances at 8 o'clock but if I'm in the mood for a traditional white cream filled donut I get in line before 7 AM. They are creme doughnuts like the ones you had growing up in the 60s and 70s. Filled. Their corn fritters are to die for. Their sticky buns are very good. They are so good that I told the owner a couple of summers ago that she can't close until I die. LOL. read more

I stopped by at around 7:30 AM. There was already a pretty long line, but it moved quickly and I was inside by 8:00. We got a bunch of different treats. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The apple fritters were very good[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], [[HIGHLIGHT]]everything else (cinnamon bun, frosted donuts, Boston cream donut) was just okay[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], with the exception that [[HIGHLIGHT]]the cruller actually tasted bad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We popped in here to grab stuff for breakfast one morning. They do get busy so be prepared to take in line. Staff was super friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had a large selection of foods to choose from, which seemed extremely fresh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are several coffee options. They have a couple of coolers with some milk and juice options. I would have loved to see a few more drink options like a fresh orange juice. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great apple fritters, the other donuts were average or better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cash only is a pain. Busy place, browse quick.

Brittons is consistently good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First time getting a fresh apple fritter and it was 5 stars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only real knock on this place is: 1. Many of the staff are not the friendliest. Feel like they are doing you a favor. Cash only biz which is a minor ding. 2. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Prices are getting very high, but that is likely due to Bidenomics.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Just picked up our donuts for the first time after I take a couple bites of each I will let you know my full review. We arrived at 7:45 in the morning so everything should be super fresh hang onto your hat. I'll be back. four stars for now until I eat it and then I will give my other Star review when I'm done. The four star review for now is for the service which was very good. Sfogliatella was fresh and delicious the apple fritters were delicious. The strawberry and cheese thing was also good. We also ordered two Boston cream donuts to be fair. We are Boston cream fanatics for some reason the cream tasted a little off I thought so and also my partner, so that's two teas buds that also felt the cream was a little off, sorry but I'm gonna have to remove Star read more

Nothing fancy here to see guys, just simple donuts and coffee like the good ol' days- do not ask for a triple vent half-calf 2 pump soy latte because they will look at your like you grew 10 heads. First time we visited years ago, I was not in love with the service nor some of the pastries. Labor Day (or maybe any weekend in the summer) was a madhouse here- Line wrapped around the block at all times. Apple Fritters? Worth it for sure. Other things BGB does well: double cream donut, coffee cake and their donuts. Things I didn't love: cinnamon roll (tasted more like a dry cinnamon cake donut), sfogliatelle, and their coffee (was super watered down). Affordable, fast, and cash only. Pro Tip: If you are ordering a bunch during peak season, you can order ahead, but they rarely pick up the phone during operating hours when they are busy. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The only place I know of in Cape May County that sells old fashioned sticky buns, and they are delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their other items are great as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only wish is that they were open year 'round! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Donuts are a million out of ten for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wait all year to be able to get a few just for myself! I typically get various other pastries depending on who else I am visiting with, this time I was lucky to be able to just go in for myself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The eagles sprinkled vanilla frosted was a most needed for victory Friday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Apple cinnamon was perfect and warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The women working are really kind, walk down the line with you and help you pick out your choices. I have two more saved for tomorrow, most looking forward to the butter cream & apple fritter warmed! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Prices are the best for portion size.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their coffee is always great as well, love the old school bakery feel from the line outside of all ages to seeing fresh batches as you exit. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday morning while on vacation based on recommendations from locals. We arrived about five minutes after they opened thinking we could beat their infamous lines. Nope! The line was already out the door and a block long. They only take cash, so be prepared. There is an ATM inside though. Only 3 allowed with masks for COVID19. I ordered a bit of everything. My favorite is their old fashioned donuts- only a buck each. You can taste the freshness honestly, light and airy goodness. They have all kind of treats from sticky buns, apple fritters, bagels, danishes, muffins, donuts, coffee cakes and coffee. No hot chocolate though. Do yourself a favor and walk there! The parking is tight and well, after eating these calorie dense blobs of dough and sugar, you may even out nutritionally. I had a serious sugar rush followed by an immediate crash requiring a nap. And yes, was glad that I walked the 2.5 miles from our hotel. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very good bakery, sticky buns are my favorite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nice people always a pleasant experience.

Food: 4.75 Out of 5 Talk about guilty pleasure! Their donut and pastry selection warmly invite you in as they glistened so nicely in their display boxes. I only intended on buying a couple treats, but of course that didn't happen. I ended up with half a dozen of donuts, two apple fritters, sticky buns, and two chocolate croissants! The donuts were a perfect pair with my coffee, light and a perfectly balance of sweet & savory. It felt like biting into a pillow of perfection! Service: 5 Out 5 Wonderful and friendly folks happy to explain and fulfill your needs. Environment: N/A Due to COVID-19 only a limited amount of guests are allowed in at a time and only a to go option. Overall: 5 Out of 5 You better bet I'm coming back for several half a dozen boxes for family and friends when I'm in the area! Bring cash! They do not take debit or credit cards. read more

[739] Saw a ton of people walking in Wildwood Crest with a white box so I had to inquire. Turns out it's a pastry box from Britton. Walked past the bakery and saw a sign that said "sold out closed for the day". Checked out yelp And saw it's a place with tasty pastries Arrived at 631 am (open at 630) and I was about 30th in line. The line moved super quick as they seem to have their system down packed They seem to be known for their apple fritters. Hubby loved them. Me - I don't think I'm a fritter chick. Chocolate croissant- it was on the hard/crispy side. Won't order it again Crumb cake was so fresh and tasty. Definitely something I would order again. Yum! Chocolate covered donut was tasty I assume the jelly donut was great as no one saved me any. Lol Coffee - hubby loved it Bring cash! Some street parking available A few tables out front I'll definitely be back! read more

Caution: if you like yeast donuts be sure to go early or go elsewhere. I got there at 10am this morning (late breakfast, I know). They are supposedly open until 1pm. ZERO true yeast donuts left when I got there and barely of the cakey ones at that. Cake donut tasted super fatty. Left a film of fat on my tongue. I couldn't even eat it. If I go back and review a yeast donut I'll update my review. Until then, make more yeasty donuts!!!! Ps. The young ladies working were very friendly. read more

I promise you'll get out of bed early on vacation for these donuts!!! We have a home in the Crest and every time we are here, I wake up due to my internal alarm clock calling out... BRITTONS IS OPEN! They open at 6:30 but if you get there at 6:30, you're guaranteed a wait. My suggestion is to show up about 6:15, you might be a few deep in the line at that point, BUT TRUST ME ITS WORTH IT!! read more

Tried the apple fritter at Britton's Gourmet Bakery this morning to cap off a week in Wildwood. Usually there would be photographic evidence but it was so exquisite, I ate it far too fast. Texture is exceptional, just enough apple, glazed with heavenly sugar. I don't even have a sweet tooth and I'm singing it's praises. My advice, order a few more than you think you'll need. The kids also really enjoyed the donuts. This is an excellent bakery! read more
