Well, for years Sipos Bakery doesn't disappoint. I ordered a mini blueberry cheesecake, plain cheesecake, and carrot cake. As always, it's fresh and delicious and melts in your mouth. read more

There has been a change in the types of bread offered by SIPOS Bakery. I went to buy the French and Italian bread that I usually buy weekly. I found another type of bread that was not completely baked. When I asked the Polish girl there, she told me that Jack had left work and this was what we had available, as this bread was manufactured and not fresh. I refused to buy it and tried to buy hard roll bread, but I found it was also manufactured, meaning it contained a lot of chemicals to keep it in the freezer for as long as possible and then resell it again, which is not a good thing. There was a man next to me who wanted to buy corn muffins, but he found a different type. When he went to ask the short white man what had happened, he told him that the oven was not working and Jack had left work. The bakery owner did not want to repair the oven due to the high prices of spare parts. This is a kind of disregard for people's minds, as it is clear that the management has changed and Jack is no longer there. The evidence for this is the disappearance of many types of bread that Jack used to bake. They are no longer available now, and the current management is looking to sell cheap things at the price of fresh products. Therefore, I advise everyone to go and buy from the ShopRite. The baked goods there are fresh and are made in front of everyone. Goodbye, SIPOS. read more

I don't recommend this bakery because unfortunately it is now closed. What a shame, they had great baked goods.

Sipo's was around since the Stone Age. Just kidding. Maybe not since then but it was always there for everyone to enjoy. My girls are now 41 and 37 and they got to sample their baked goods since they were little. My husband's grandmother lived in Perth Amboy so whenever we cane down from Buffalo, NY, we ALWAYS stopped at Sipo's to take some treats back home with us. Sometimes they never made it home. But the treats reminded us of Perth Amboy during the 9 hour trip back to Buffalo. It has been 32 years since we have visited Sipo's and 28 since my husband's beloved grandma passed away. All those years have passed, but the memory of visiting Sipo's Bakery has never gone away. Great baked goods, friendly atmosphere, and the best memories for us and our family. We will remember this Perth Amboy gem forever. So very sad to see it go. 6/4/23 will be a very sad day for everyone who grew up with such a nice traditional bakery. Wish it could have stayed for future generations to enjoy. read more

Was kinda wary going into this empty bakery in Perth amboy. Cons :Weird, old tasting fried polish dough! Pros: young Spanish lady at the counter is nice and cheap prices. read more

See all

Closed now after 50 years but was the best bakery. Brings me back to my childhood Staff changes were obviously made over the years but still great service read more

I've recently gotten in to the habit of buying cookies and boxes of assorted pastries, to give out as gifts, to my customers at Sipos. I also grab Bagles, horns and doughnuts for the people in my office, that support me. Both my customers and my support team deserve more than the chain store donuts. I've also enjoyed their egg sandwiches and deli sandwiches (with a cup of freshly brewed coffee) from time to time. I've always received exemplify service and the product has always been fresh and reasonably priced. It's nice to walk in to a business to spend money and not be treated as an interruption to their day. Last week, I ordered a birthday cake for my wife there. I ordered a specific filling, a specific icing as well as specific colors and decorations on the cake. When I went in to pick it up at the end of the day, the cake was beautiful! Most importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious. My family all commented on how good the cake was. You could tell that it wasn't frozen, (like so many bakery's cakes are). The balance of cake to filling and fasting was perfect. My wife spent 12 years working in a bakery when she was younger so, she rarely has anything good to say about cakes, cookies and other bakery products and, my mother-in-law, (a true connoisseur of desserts), raved about the cake for days. There may even be leftover piece in my kitchen. I'm thinking if going there right now and slicing a piece for myself now. Sipos is not only there for every day bakery products. Besides the bread, sandwiches, bagels, cookies, cakes and sweet rolls that they provide for their neighborhood, they also do specialty cakes. I highly recommend visiting this fine establishment during the holidays before starting your New Year's diet. read more

The best bakery in town. My absolute favorite pastry is the turtle bread but you have to get it early because by mid-day its gone. Their cakes and and goodies are fresh and super delicious. read more

As a native Hungarian living in Macon GA, I can tell you that the walnut beigli from the Sipos Bakery is absolutely superb. It is authentically magyar-tasting, just like my grandmother used to make/bake it in Budapest over 65 years ago. Thank you, Sipos Bakery for a job exceedingly well done. December 03, 2022 read more

Great bakery with so many choices and great desserts for special occasions wonderful staff!

This bakery has the absolute best breads and pastries made daily. However, 9 out of 10 times the cakes are terribly stale, inedible. It's embarrassing to purchase cake and take it somewhere as a dessert and it's stale. Even when I've asked if something is fresh, they say yes when it's not. I would rather see a smaller choice of cakes or napoleons or eclairs that are fresh. Like I said, they have the best breads around but you cannot trust the freshness of the other products. read more

If I could give this bakery zero stars I would..I received a cake for my birthday from there. It was truly disgusting. I was extremely surprised. I love to support local businesses but, even their cupcakes taste awful. Beware of a large bakery that IS ALWAYS EMPTY... read more

Best rye bread in the universe. I always buy extra to eat in the parking lot. I also love the walnut nutroll (beigli) and Hungarian cookies (apricot & walnut kifli). read more

They sold us a rancid cake that ruined my niece's 11th birthday. It was such a shame. Few family members even vomited. Stay away from this place at all cost. Not worth it at all. read more

Went to buy jelly donut was told they don't have them. So my husband bought a cherry danish and cheese danish. Both were stale. I was very disappointed. Remember Sipos years ago and how good they were. read more

Sipos' has been a family favorite for 50 years and is good as it has ever been. I don't know if the store is under Hungarian ownership any more, given the changing ethnic makeup of the city, but they have maintained the selection and quality of Hungarian and Polish favorites quite admirably. It goes without saying that their rye breads are still the best around, and their cakes and pastries are uniformly excellent. And maybe most importantly, Sipos' is probably one of the only places left in NJ where one can get decent, genuine Kaiser rolls (which are miles above what supermarket bakeries try to pass off as a Kaiser). I'd give them 5 stars based on the Kaiser Rolls alone! read more

This bakery has the most delicious rye bread I have ever eaten. A small bread with caraway seeds is $1.75, and you can ask for it to be sliced. They also have Russian rye, with black poppy seeds, also very good. This bakery serves authentic Hungarian and Polish treats like apple strudels, cookies with fillings like apricot, prune, chocolate or walnut, Csoroge- special fried dough cookies with powdered sugar and many others. They have delicious challah bread, potato bread and other special Hungarian breads. You can see the giant bakery in the back with cool looking equipment- I want to go on a tour! read more

This place is a life saver I needed an emergency cake because the first one I had got ruined and they were nice enough to help me out last minute. Thank you so much Ida and Nina. Especially For last minute they did a wonderful job and everyone was pleased!!!!! read more

Cakes are dry and have a weird after taste, cookies were basically flavorless and salty. I won't be coming back.

I had a cupcake from Sipos not too long ago and if I ever have another one it would be because the apocalypse is upon us and the only food available are Sipos dry and tasteless cupcakes. I cannot comment on Sipos other baked goods because I have never tried them I can only comment on the awful cupcake it had. It was dry dry dry and dry also horrendously bad. read more

keep in mind until mine the most recent review was almost 4 years ago was looking mainly for a raisin/cheese babka for the holiday but whenever I visit a new place I try other things to see if I'd want to patronize other times of the year in no particular order I will separately review each item I purchased Hungarian walnut roll--flaking off, dry, almost no taste - 1 Hungarian kifli cookies(apricot)--very moist, tasty not too sweet - 4 Raisin/cheese babka--fresh but very bland, decent amt of raisins, no evidence of cheese sight or taste, missing that "yeast" flavor - 2 various misc cookies--just about all were very tasty & fresh - 4 Rye bread(no seeds)--very thick, virtually tasteless--wound up giving most of it to the deer--1 they had 2 young women at the counter; though it was the Saturday before Xmas the line was never more than a few people & the wait just maybe 5 minutes I noticed a baker bringing out some times & he definitely was NOT Hungarian(as one other reviewer said it's doubtful the original owners are still running it as it is catering to the local clientele) total was $52 CASH so a bit expensive relative to the general area & also there is a sign 10% surcharge if using a credit card & since companies charge merchants 2-3% per use that's gouging. unfortunately, good cookies is not enough of a reason to return as the main reason I came was for the babka & the walnut roll--2 authentic European items that don't appear to be made the European way any longer. read more

I have heard about this place for a long time so I finally decided to try it while I was in the area. If you are going to get rolls stick wit the seeded hard rolls, the other rolls I did not care for the taste at all. I tried two different rye breads, one with seeds and one without, while I like seeds there was way to much in their's so I would stick with the seedless. There cakes were the big disappointment. They was nit much taste to them and they were expensive. I may go back to try there other items, but definitely will avoid a few things next time. read more

Rye bread is great. With or without seeds! However pastries and cakes not so much! Dry and tasteless. Seasonal favorites are pretty much the same! Tasteless. Going here for many years and it just keeps going down hill! Time to move on. Sadly not many good bakeries left anymore. Sipos used to be great but no more. read more

their bread is basically the carbohydrate form of crack, like best I have had in the USA , so worth the trip!! very old school bakery.. a wide variety of both eastern European and Latin American style tasty baked goods. tried the wonderful rye bread, the poppy seed sweet bread (i guess kinda like a variation of babka anyways whatever it is called it is heavenly), some little prune jam filled pastries which I guess are Hungarian or Polish or something like that.. they have a huge array of fresh baked stuff, and the bread is just fantastic.. very reasonable prices.. a pretty big building with their own parking lot about back, open until 6 pm every day. they serve coffee.. all kinds of cookies, pastries, and such which are hard to resist for immediate consumption whilst you make purchases to take home.. I definitely plan to journey to Perth Amboy in future so as to be able to shop here, and stop for lunch at one of the countless tasty and reasonably priced Dominican, Mexican, and Puerto Rican eateries in the area while I am at it.. this place is a no brainer, if you like baked goods, you basically must try it!! if you are anti-wheat or gluten free or whatever, then i guess you should stay far away.. read more

Sipos Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Perth Amboy, New Jersey

Hi my husband purchased 4 slices of what should've been Dominican cake with pineapple on Sunday. Something I have had a craving for for 2 months this pregnancy. It was horrible to say the least. I cannot believe what was sold to him was passed off as Dominican cake. And that was supposed to be for my 25th birthday. He's Italian and does not eat Dominican cake nor grew up on it so he didn't know better just by looking at the consistency. Me on the other hand, is Dominican and had always had my grandmother purchase a Dominican cake with pineapple for my birthday since I was a child. This year she is in DR and couldn't do it. So I was highly upset on how your bakery tried to pass that off as Dominican cake. That was pound cake with icing and the wrong kind of pineapple. Now I have 3 slices sitting in the fridge and my husband ended up buying me an ice cream cake so I could've at least enjoyed cake on my birthday. Very disappointed and will never be buying from your bakery again. read more
