This old-school Italian neighborhood bakery has been here for eighty years. It is right off the…read moreGarden State Parkway North, exit 139A, two blocks up from the exit. Park out front, or on residential streets around the corner. Get fresh daily baked baguettes, French boules, Italian breads and rolls, and whole wheat loaves. Especially known for their hamburger and hot dog rolls, or "longs" as they are called, sausage and pepperoni breads, and ring-shaped pizza breads. Also, butter croissants, sfogliatelle, and Italian cookies. Also cheesecakes, cannolis, tarts and other pastries when the baker is so inclined. They also sell fresh pizza dough. The people in the shop are kindly, and prices are cheap. Walking in here is like a time warp which takes me back to my childhood. My aunt and uncle lived a block up from this place, and one of my earliest food memories as a kid was summer cookouts in their backyard. My uncle made great Newark-style deep-fried Italian hot dogs w/peppers & onions on these rolls.

I'll start off by saying I'm not vegan, but I love trying vegan options. The shop is small and…read moredoesn't have any seating, so it's more of a pop in and pop out type of place. There were so many treats to choose from, I had such a hard time deciding. There also weren't prices on the labels, so we had to ask the employee, who was nice enough, but if it was busy, I would find it a bit inconvenient. I ended up deciding on a red velvet cupcake and the cutest teddy bear spritz cookie. The red velvet cupcake was de-lish, I'd recommend this one! The teddy bear cookie was sooo cute but I didn't like it that much :( admittedly I mostly bought it because it was so darling, as I'm not a big fan of spritz cookies. I think the flavor of the vegan butter was overpowering, as I'm not used to that flavor. All of the other pastries looked wonderful though, so I'd definitely come back to try out some other ones!

Great service and lots of variety. The clerk was very willing to help me and offer suggestions,…read morewhich I appreciate. They offer vegan, gluten free foods and desserts. I got the pumpkin biscotti and the apple cobbler cupcake. The cupcake was delicious. I wouldn't get the biscotti again but that was due to personal preference.

While they come in a sharable amount and they're crispy on the outside, they're kinda dense on the inside. I've had better from my own kitchen and other places. Their pretzel game's stronger. Their Pretzel Empanadas are good and satisfying (Cheese Steak, Bacon Cheeseburger, Pulled Pork). Their Pretzel Bites are huge with a great texture and lots of sauce options (several mustards, Nutella, and more) for a small fee. With savory pretzel empanadas and good pretzels, this food is bready to be loved! ;) NOTES/TIPS: **Open til 2am Wed-Sat. In the same building as Union Plaza Diner. **Order via them directly, DoorDash, UberEats, Seamless, Grubhub or yelp.
