Whenever I shop here, most of the customers here are middle aged and older. Like me…read more Which makes me think this place, it's offerings and it's customers are aging out. The (newest ?) baker has a diffident, heavy hand. Globs of smeared sugar icing across the tops of danish render them unappealing. Possibly Chester's biggest draw? Their famed cinnamon buns. Now shrunk in size to almost a third of their former glory. And what's with the tasteless bits of chopped nuts? I'm a home baker. A former chef. This cannot last.... I was reluctant to write this review. When we first moved here from Philly, after my lifelong favorite childhood bakery in OC closed, Chester's was my go to place for cinnamon buns. Was.....

We told her what we were looking for, a last minute birthday cake, and she guided us. She decorated the way we asked. And she suggested we buy a slice of the cake before purchasing the whole cake! So happy that a friend of mine that lives in Pleasantville suggested this place. Everyone love the strawberry shortcake, made with fresh whipped cream. Not too sweet! Just right!

After he sold, I stopped in a few times but never found the pastries good. And they were much more expensive. But today, I bought zeppole. I still don't find the pastry good (the dough was overcooked and tasted like the greased was overused; filling was fine) and still a bit expensive.

It could definitely have a better setting, like I said it is located inside of a liquor store. I wish they had a bigger variety, because what they do have is so delicious. Their prices were not bad, I paid about 20$ for my 4 items. It also looks like they make specialty cakes to order as well. There is a parking lot. Not a long wait, and cute pink boxing!

Hammerbacher Bakery is easily one of my favorite spots whenever I'm anywhere near the area. While…read moreGermans may not have the global reputation for baking or cooking that some other cultures do, such as Italy or France, this place completely flips that assumption on its ear. The quality, flavor, and consistency of everything they make are outstanding. Every time I stop in, the baked goods speak for themselves. You can tell a lot of care and skill goes into what they produce, and it shows in both the taste and the loyal following they've built. The only "downside," if you can even call it that, is that there's never a lull in the action. This place is always busy. If you show up an hour before they're set to open, chances are there's already a hearty group of customers standing outside waiting for the doors to unlock. That kind of crowd tells you everything you need to know. If you're in the area and enjoy great baked goods, Hammerbacher Bakery is absolutely worth the stop. Just be ready to share the line with plenty of other people who clearly feel the same way.

The best bakery! They are open 2 days a week, and sometimes they close for the week so you have to…read morewatch their Facebook for announcements. They usually have 3-4 bread options with pizza focaccia and some side dishes like mac and cheese or knish; cookie options; croissants, pies, muffins.
