June 6 was my birthday, and after celebrating the night before at a lovely restaurant in the city,…read moreI found myself with no plans on my actual birthday. I decided I wanted to treat myself to a little cake. I usually visit a local bakery for cakes, mini desserts, and cannolis. It's generally pretty good, although it can be a bit hit or miss depending on what you order. While searching online for bakeries nearby, this place came up with stellar reviews. I was surprised to see it was only about an 11-minute drive from my house, so I decided to make the trip. The bakery was set up much like a classic neighborhood bakery, with beautiful cakes displayed along one side and cases filled with mini desserts, pastries, cookies, and cannolis. While chatting with the staff, I mentioned the bakery I usually go to. That's when they told me that bakery actually gets its cakes from Normandie. I found that fascinating because I had always assumed every bakery made its own cakes from scratch. Suddenly, a lot made sense. I had originally planned on buying a small birthday cake, but since it was only for two people, I decided to put together an assortment of mini desserts instead. I picked up tiramisu, carrot cake, lemon cake, and several other mini cakes. Every single one was outstanding. Not one dessert missed the mark. The carrot cake was moist, the tiramisu was perfectly balanced, and the lemon cake was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully made. The minis were slightly smaller than the ones I'm used to buying elsewhere, but honestly, they were the perfect size. Now that I know where those cakes are actually coming from, I'll happily make the extra 11-minute drive and buy directly from the source. This will absolutely be my new go-to bakery for birthdays, special occasions, and hostess gifts. A wonderful birthday discovery that turned into finding my new favorite bakery.

I had been looking forward to trying Once Bitten Donuts after hearing great things, and while the…read moreexperience was enjoyable, it didn't completely live up to my expectations. The donuts were fresh and visually appealing, and I appreciated the creative flavors available. However, I found some of the flavors to be a bit sweeter than I personally prefer, and I wasn't blown away considering the price point. It was definitely one of those spots that was more focused on the instagram picture over the taste of the product itself. That being said my nieces and nephews loved the sesame street options! That being said, the staff was friendly and the shop has a fun, welcoming atmosphere. I can definitely see why others enjoy it, but for me it landed more in the "good, not great" category.

Here in Lakewood Township, you will find this bakery in the Goldmont Center…read more Brand: 5/5 Hershy's Bakery is located in the Goldmont Center in Lakewood Township as a corner store. I do like the logo, for it uses as much of its simplicity as possible while maintaining a fancy posture. The sign has a noticeable presence in this shopping center as you walk around. Concerning the interior, I will say that the food itself adds to the brand. Website: 2/5 While the website does look decent, it is incomplete, therefore I cannot give it a favorable score. I do see the potential in terms of functionality and aesthetics, but the entire website contains sample text. It does have the vital information, such as contact information. It does say that it serves babka, peanut chew, cakes, and pastries, but it does not provide you with images of these products. Wait Time: 5/5 I did not have to wait for long to purchase my order. Ambiance: 3/5 On the outside, I could see this large corner store in the Goldmont Center that I could clearly imagine catering to many customers. Once I stepped inside, the ambiance felt quite underwhelming. I did not expect to find a small bakery with some of the goods still stacked in some of the noticeable racks, and no tables. Another problem was the lack of labels in the glass counters. It does maintain its cleanliness though. Food: 5/5 I tried four cinnamon rugelachs, and I will say that it was my satisfactory introduction to rugelachs. It had a more cinnamon taste and less bread taste, which helps balances these pastries. The establishment served baskets of rugelach in the open, and I will say that even then, they did not become hard or stale. They retained their fluffy forms and their cinnamon tastes. The website provides some of the menu items, while the Yelp menu has all the options available to you, such as challah bread, danishes, cookies, cakes, and donuts. Service: 5/5 The owner did not have an issue with informing you if you looking for a particular pastry. Worth The Money?: 3/5 The food reflects the brand in all its simplicity, for you will find many Jewish delicacies in this establishment. While it would help Hershy's Bakery's website to show specific images of the food, if I am to believe the awards cataloged in the About Us page, then it would help develop its credibility if ownership updated the entire website. Indeed, the font and the images already on the website already add to its ambiance. I will say that the food does add to the ambiance of the bakery. I would recommend adding labels to the foods. The ambiance made both the wait time and service tolerable. Would I say that Hershy's Bakery is worth it as a small business? Yes. As a place to frequent despite not being from Lakewood Township? Probably not. I can only consider this establishment a choice if I was traveling through Lakewood and happened upon the Goldmont Center. I will say that the owner did balance my order on a weight scale, giving it a fair price. So, I cannot complain. Rating: 4/5 Stars Needless to say, I will say that Hershy's Bakery is quite a good establishment overall. I got to introduce myself to rugelachs despite the limitations. Recommend To... Any other Gentiles who want to try kosher delicacies but do not know where to start, or are hesitate to bake them yourselves. I will tell you that Hershy's Bakery offers you a glimpse into Jewish cuisine with a fresh basket of rugelachs.

Inside, is the Bell Market and the Honey Bell Bakery. The bakery shines compared to other spots in public space - its warm, bright lights and counter creating a welcoming feel amongst the modern greys of the rest of the Bell Works. The pastry counter is no joke - filled with daily-made treats that are sure to please a wide variety of people. We visited twice - the first time we had the snickerdoodle and speculoos cookies, a butter pecan rice cake, and two lattes and the second time the apple fritter cake, the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, a regular latte, and an one latte. The breakfast sandwich is a delicious beast of thick scrambled egg, perfectly fried bacon, and the best spicy mayo I've had in some time. And the apple fritter cake was, quite simply, divine. And the ube latte met and exceeded all expectations of delicious. I'm so glad we got to enjoy this place twice, and it will definitely be on our list of places to return to on our next venture this direction. :)

Very few markets excite me since I'm accustomed to seeing all these specialties in every Italian neighborhood, I go to, however, I have to say this shopping experience is one of the most delightful of all the Italian specialty shops I've ever been. Aside from having some of the highest quality of meats, vegetables, seafood, and Italian specialties. I find the service to be delightful. Each and everyone of their staff members are highly trained, pleasant and knowledgeable. I find the price is slightly higher than most, but considering it's a specialty shop, it's to be expected.
