    The most magnificent jelly donut. You gotta try this thing !!
    Suzy B.

    Do you love jelly donuts like me ?? Well, look no further because this jelly donut is worth driving for! We were staying at an AirBNB locally for Thanksgiving and looking for a place to get a nice Thanksgiving pie or cake. Well, let it be known that Yelp helped us find the place and we found the jackpot. This small, unassuming bakery was exactly what we were looking for. Just make sure if you're getting a holiday cake or pie, the lines will be long but the wait will be worth it. You'll need to order in advance. Now back to the JELLY DONUT! As other fellow Yelpers reviewed, they kept talking up the jelly donuts. So thank you Yelpers! You were right again. It's just jelly donut perfection. See all that jelly in the photo? Make sure to have napkins on hand because you're gonna need 'em! That jelly just explodes at every bite. The donut itself is a perfect texture and every bite is magical. I was told by my hubby that the Bavarian creme is to die for. He couldn't decide, so he had both the vanilla and the chocolate. So make the trip to check out The Waretown Bakery, you won't be disappointed.

    Best jelly donut on the planet - it's true! Absolutely everything is delicious. Fresh and friendly…read more- order it all.

    First, the good part: the baked goods at Ferrara's are some of the best on the island. I've never…read morebought anything there that wasn't fresh and delicious. Their prices are reasonable, too. Five Stars for quality. Now, the not so good part: the service is terrible. On multiple occasions, I've asked for something only to find when I get home and open the box that I was given the wrong thing. It happened today. I asked for two sticky rolls with pecans and I was given two with walnuts. The person who seems to make the most mistakes is the older lady who works there (whom I suspect is the owner, as all the other employees defer to her). She always looks stressed and out-of-sorts. My other complaint is that they aren't customer friendly. Last year toward the end of the summer, a friend gave me a gift certificate from Ferrara's that was supposedly good to the end of October 1st when they close for the year. When we went to use it in September, our last visit of the season to the island, we found the store closed for a week for some family event. When I explained what had happened after they reopened this year and asked if they would still honor the certificate, the grumpy lady said "no" because they had already "closed the books" for the previous year. For crying out loud, it was $20 coupon and I was a regular customer (emphasis on "was"). Despite the excellent baked goods, I prefer to give my business to bakeries that treat me well. Hence, I now buy most of my baked goods elsewhere, including at Big Apple Bakery on E. Bay Avenue in Manahawkin (next to the Acme Supermarket). Their stuff is just as good as Ferrara's and they have a larger selection. One Star for service. Five Stars plus One Star divided by two is Three Stars overall.

Overall pleasant. I actually preferred the chocolate one, though- the chocolate filling was dark and rich, and there was a good amount of it inside the croissant. The croissant dough had layers, although it seems like they had somewhat collapsed- it might be because I ate them some time after they had been baked, but unsure. It did not feel condensed or too chewy, though. I wasn't the one who ordered them, so can't speak much about the service. I have passed by the storefront before, and it looks small, more of a takeout vibe than a sit down and chat cafe.

Park out front, or on residential streets around the corner. Get fresh daily baked baguettes, French boules, Italian breads and rolls, and whole wheat loaves. Especially known for their hamburger and hot dog rolls, or "longs" as they are called, sausage and pepperoni breads, and ring-shaped pizza breads. Also, butter croissants, sfogliatelle, and Italian cookies. Also cheesecakes, cannolis, tarts and other pastries when the baker is so inclined. They also sell fresh pizza dough. The people in the shop are kindly, and prices are cheap. Walking in here is like a time warp which takes me back to my childhood. My aunt and uncle lived a block up from this place, and one of my earliest food memories as a kid was summer cookouts in their backyard. My uncle made great Newark-style deep-fried Italian hot dogs w/peppers & onions on these rolls.
