Top notch bakery. Everything is delicious. I always go out of my way to stop here. I'm local but down the road a bit. Worth it every time, albeit very pricey. Worth waiting in line for in the summer as well. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because most of the staff are rude and have no personality. I just get a vibe that everyone there hates working there. Recently went to get a few things. No other customers were there and an older woman behind the counter seemed annoyed by my 2 year old son deciding what cookie he wanted. Give the staff a mood boost and it's 5 stars. read more

The absolute best crumb cake and bakery at the Jersey Shore! Always busy so be prepared. Well worth the wait when visiting family and I even love to order online for home delivery in another state. read more

There's always a line here, but worth the wait. Had the donuts which were delicious and both the glazed and powdered crumb cake. Delicious

I first went here in 2020 during the summer, and people were waiting in a line that went out the door and down the street. Coming back in 2021, the lines and wait are shorter. Considering it's size, Mueller's Bakery has a considerable variety of pastries and desserts to choose from. The prices are moderate, leaning on the expensive side. The desserts are beautiful, but are somewhat lackluster in the flavor department. A great traditional bakery experience! read more

Omg so stressful the people behind the counter were like yelling not really nice the red head girl is sweet but the one I got with hella eyebrows was mean but this the best damn "blueberry fritter" I ever had read more

Sorry but recently (like in 2022) Mueller's quality has started a downhill slide. We bought a few different cake slices recently and each was stale. We also had a store baked pretzel which was tasteless and too hard. Yesterday Sunday, November 20, we purchased two of the coffee cakes that used to be to die for and I can tell you they were stale. Now, I ask you, wouldn't you think if they were baking for a weekend (no less for a weekend coming up to one of their biggest holiday seasons) that the cakes would have been made fresh on Sunday or at the very least on Saturday? A Mueller's cake in the past would NEVER have tasted this lifeless and hard at the edges. I have sworn by them since we moved here 3 years ago but recently something is wrong. read more

Ordered my wife's birthday cake over the phone and when I picked it up was amazed with the presentation and attention to details! The next big surprise was in the eating, the most moist and delicious cake we ever had!!! Truly a great bakery! read more

Best crumb cake!! The raspberry filling added to the middle of the crumb cake is amazing. The crumbs are buttery and melt in your mouth. The cake part is the perfect flavor and not dry like typical crumb cakes. read more

The best bakery in town! I've been going to Mueller's for years. Whether I'm getting a layered cake for a special occasion or a classic donut for breakfast, my taste buds are always happy! Everything is baked fresh daily, the quality is amazing. Be sure to try their famous crumb cake, you don't want to miss out. read more

Ordered three cakes for our son's 4th birthday. They looked and tasted great. Service was awesome as the woman who helped us answered at least 20 questions from our curious little man and also helped us carry the cakes to our car. Would recommend. read more

I was looking for a new bakery and yes I did ask "Siri" to find one, and glad I did. It remind me of a place in Brooklyn growing up. The choices of turnovers and cookies were great, they had holiday cakes as well as sugar free items. They had a variety of coffee and other quick grab take out items. The turnovers are flaky and filled with fresh fruits that is enough for 2 people. Will say a little expensive 2 turnovers and a Danish $12 dollars but was definitely worth it, expect a little wait as very popular place, but can't be beat. read more

Grew up in Jersey and try to get my Jersey food cravings satisfied while back "home." The crumbcake was wonderful!

This isn't a review about the deserts. It's about the service this morning. I was looking to take a bunch of crumb buns to my office this morning. Two people being "helped" in front of me. One lady ording a cake with writing on it. OK. One older guy at the counter having a personal conversation with the counter lady. After a few minutes he eventually he ordered 2 buttered rolls. I'm waiting and waiting as 2 other counter people walk around. They all see me and never acknowledge me . So I left. Yup good help is hard to find. With so many businesses looking for employees ,I guess Muellers is lucky to have help at all. On my way to Paneras. read more

The Mueller's tradition started over 25 years ago with my aunt and uncle and my family has been back every year since. This place never disappoints! The crumb cake is just as delicious as I remember it was as a child. My new favorite is the cinnamon raisin bread! Honestly, the best I've ever had. This place is an absolute must if you're in the area. A little hidden gem that I hope will always be there. read more

I was very pleased with the engagement cake I purchased. It was delicious vanilla cake filled with fresh strawberries and custard. The best part was the super scrumptious lavender icing. Everyone at the party raved about this cake. read more

Went to make a purchase of some goodies, just two hours before closing. , Walking up, I didn't see lights on so I looked and saw that the sign in the window was flipped to "CLOSED". About 20 minutes later I tried phoning (to see if they closed early) and was told that they were open. The girl argued with me stating that there was no "closed "sign in the window. I know what I saw. Their loss my loss, oh well. Very Disappointed ... (moreso with the attitude of the girl on the phone) read more

Family member stood in line 45 minutes Easter Sunday and picked up a crumb cake for dessert. I have never had a crumb cake like this in my entire life. Bottom layer of cake was practically non-existent and it had a very strange texture, it was not "cake-like" at all, which is how I read the cake being described as "moist and dense like a pound cake". This was neither. Very disappointed. read more

I've been a fan forever! The crumb cake is consistently delicious, especially the blueberry. I keep coming back - even though I now live in Somerset County! read more

This is a great bakery. I was waited on by Cathy, who was friendly and very helpful. I ordered cupcakes and cookies for a birthday party, and everything was delicious! I saw several people take pictures of them. For days, my friends kept telling me how good the cake was. I've been eating their incredible crumb cake for many years. You won't be disappointed if you go there. read more

Just got cannolis and the shells were soft and the filling was hard. The filling was turning color on the outside also. Very stale.

This place is the cream of the crop for sure and the crumb bun is out of this world I have them shipped to me in Florida love them

They're known for their world-class crumb cake (yum!), but there are plenty other delicious baked goods on hand. A local favorite!

Great cakes and pastries.....always fresh and the line is out the door ( which means awesome!) very good time after time- year after year ! read more

Would I be wrong to proclaim that Mueller's is home to the most delectable crumb cake in New Jersey? Not only that, but their canoli and other assorted pastries are some of the best I have ever had. Wonderful cakes and pies as well - but the crumb cake and the canoli are top-notch. My parents have taken me here since I was in a stroller. We were lucky enough that our old shore house was only 4 or 5 blocks away. I remember being so young, accompanied by my parents and brothers, dropping into Mueller's to pick up our baked goods for the week... one of the most vivid memories I have as a child. The women at the counter used to give me a free cookie or two every time we stopped in, and to this day, the employees are still as warm and caring as ever. Take your kids, your nieces/nephews, your grand kids, it's a great little bakery that will shine in their childhood memories too. read more

Service is not as sweet as their treats. Food quality: an easy 5/5 stars. It's the counter girls who work behind the counter that being this review down a peg. I've been going there for 2+ years, yet there is no warmth, chit-chat, (or even a smile) from the girls who work behind the counter. It's almost as if walking in and paying for a coffee and crumb bun (which is the most delicious treat you can ever have) is a major inconvenience to them. In a small town bakery, this familiarity and warmth from the employees goes a long way, especially as a regular customer who visits year round. read more

There are two iconic bakery treats from my childhood that are harder and harder to find. They used to be completely ubiquitous at any bakery in the tri-state area, but in-comprehensively are becoming impossible to find. These two items are the black and white or half and half cookie and crumb cake, the kind that is 3/4 crumb and 1/4 cake. I was in the general vicinity of Mueller's and made a special trip based on yelp reviews in regard to their crumb cake. When I arrived, I was thrilled to notice that they had black and white cookies as well and bought one of each. The crumb cake came in a bunch of different variations, frosted, powdered, with jam...I went for a piece of the classic frosted and one black and white cookie. The crumb cake was pretty good, there was plenty of crumb but I found it a little bit dry and the cake part, which I hoped would taste like a soft buttery pound cake, was super dry and had no flavor. On the other hand, it was still good enough to bask in it's existence and eat my way down memory lane. I saved the black and white cookie for last as it is really what I search for. A few years I found the Holy Grail at Baldanzas Bakery, it was perfect, a delicious, huge buttery cakey cookie, frosted in the exactly right consistency with vanilla and chocolate icing. Sadly, Baldanzas closed awhile back and I continued my search. Sure you can buy them at the grocery store now in mini form, but those knock offs have absolutely nothing to do with the cookie that I knew. With great anticipation and hope, I bit into the black and white cookie at Meuller's and...no...(sigh). This is an extremely thin cookie frosted with what appears to be the right kind of vanilla icing on one side and some kind of buttercream chocolate hybrid on the other. Major disappointment. So I would recommend the crumb cake, there were also many many other delicious looking baked goods that I did not try. On the other hand, save yourself the let down and stay away from the black and white cookies. read more

When I was a little girl my grandmother would take me here every Sunday after mass. Forty years later I still go and with my own children now. It's literally a wonderful part of my childhood. Everything is delicious .... they are known for the crumb cake but really everything is so good. read more

It is a blessing and a curse living near here! It is my go to spot for bringing treats to friends and various occasions. Reasonably priced and always fresh and delicious. Jelly donut is ridiculously good, and my old standby is the glazed crumb cake. Wow. Recently tried the applesauce cake and it was incredibly moist and flavorful. Don't think, just go! read more

Ordered a crumb cake because I've heard it's the best in NJ. Not by far in my opinion, too heavy on the crumb and little on the cake I prefer it the opposite. We didn't try anything else so I can't speak to anything other then my preference. What was nuts was the pick up line, waited about 40 minutes to pick up a pre paid order, got in line just past the walkway to the post office, so not more then 15 - 20 people in front of me but it moved at a snails pace, I'm not sure why the pick up on a holiday weekend hasn't been perfected. read more

Mueller's bakery has to be one of the best bakeries probably in the tri-state area or possibly the country one of the best their crumb cake is outrageous they're jelly donuts are second to none nobody makes a jelly don't like they do no one and their prices are good they're well worth pay whatever they want for their their product because they're good I don't mind paying for any product that's good for them they're very good I got a praise them I said they really got a good formula there they made for many years they were taken over by think by some of the bakers back there that used a big break the other bakers took them over it's really like a family business more or less it's just a great bakery read more

Very good and messy coffee/crumb cake. The cake is probably a half inch thick while the layer of cinnamon crumble on top is around one inch thick. Strange proportions but it works because the cinnamon sugar part is what tastes good anyway! I usually don't like coffee cake but this was quite nice but a tad too sweet for my tastes. Tip: microwaving helps with eliminate some dryness. read more

A good bakery and local institution. Coffee is better than Dunkin and their cranberry nut bread is excellent. Best in the area and worth a stop. Very crowded from 8-11. read more

Love coming to Mueller's after going to the sunrise with my friends would totally recommend their iconic crumb cake because it's the bomb.com, and their prices are very reasonable read more

Delicious breads & pastries at reasonable prices. A long wait on a Saturday morning (around 10 a.m.) but so worth it. The line moved at a pretty steady pace. You can pour your own coffee while you wait which is nice. The ladies were friendly once my number was finally called. Cheese Danish was fabulous! read more

The best bakery in the world! We come here every weekend. The best donuts, pastries, cookies and breads. The freshest and tastiest baked goodies and very cheap. Their hot coffee selection is always the best. My dog always receives his fresh-baked sugar cookies as a present and I am writing today because mueller baker went above-and-beyond today. Just for me -- he made me egg challahs for Shabbat. (No demand for challah in Bay Head besides us, but Muellers only cared about pleasing our family's needs and request!). Thank you. We love you! read more
