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.

Rugalah was also stale and tasted off as well perhaps frozen at one time.

The frozen yogurt is limited selection. They only had the classic yogurt flavor when I went, but that's exactly what I wanted. Nice and tangy, and just hint a sweet. Made it more of a treat by adding what looked like chocolate crispies in a nutella sauce. A lovely combo and a lovely treat!

Used to be good. But now it's just over priced nasty candy. I actually heard the old lady behind…read morethe counter say chocolate is good for at least two years. Makes me wonder just how old all that candy is. I doubt it's highly trafficked anymore. In my opinion it's a major rip off and not worth the stop. Go anywhere else. The women running it are sloppy as well. Not very presentable and certainly unprofessional. ETA: heard recently from a friend that she bought hollow chocolate bunnies and her kids found MAGGOTS inside them. Gross!!!!! Another ETA: A relative of mine walked in to attempt to get candy for Valentine's Day. She was so incredibly grossed out by the smell of smoke and absolute filth in this place. Dirty candy molds, old crap everywhere and the office looked like a hoarder lived in it. The lady behind the counter was moving so slow no one was checked out in the 5 minutes she gave it and in that 5 min is when she made the observations and left. How has this place not gotten shut down?!

I honestly cannot believe how bad this place has gotten. In my opinion, the owners -- especially…read moreErica -- are unbelievably rude, dismissive, and act like customers are an inconvenience. The milkshake I received was so thin and flavorless that I genuinely thought it was a joke. Calling it a "milkshake" feels generous. But the real problem is the state of the place. Based on what I've personally seen on multiple visits, the cleanliness is completely unacceptable. I've seen cockroaches on the counters, floors, even the walls. My daughter's friend, who used to work there, told me they've been dealing with this issue for months -- which honestly lines up with what I witnessed. If this is how the establishment is being run, then it's no surprise the place feels like it's falling apart. I don't know how a business can operate with this level of disregard for hygiene, employees, and customers. I'm at the point where I feel like health authorities need to take a look I'm done giving this place chances. I won't be back, and I hope management finally takes responsibility instead of brushing off concerns. Do better -- seriously
