Hammerbacher Bakery is easily one of my favorite spots whenever I'm anywhere near the area. While…read moreGermans may not have the global reputation for baking or cooking that some other cultures do, such as Italy or France, this place completely flips that assumption on its ear. The quality, flavor, and consistency of everything they make are outstanding. Every time I stop in, the baked goods speak for themselves. You can tell a lot of care and skill goes into what they produce, and it shows in both the taste and the loyal following they've built. The only "downside," if you can even call it that, is that there's never a lull in the action. This place is always busy. If you show up an hour before they're set to open, chances are there's already a hearty group of customers standing outside waiting for the doors to unlock. That kind of crowd tells you everything you need to know. If you're in the area and enjoy great baked goods, Hammerbacher Bakery is absolutely worth the stop. Just be ready to share the line with plenty of other people who clearly feel the same way.

I can't say enough good things about their Italian ricotta almond cake. It's heavenly! My partner…read moreand I literally fight over the last bite every time we get it. The texture is perfect, the flavors are rich and balanced, and it's a rare find for someone like me with celiac disease. It's not just safe for me to eat--it's a dessert I genuinely crave. I've only had the pleasure of enjoying their treats through Hayday Coffee so far, but this cake has me coming back again and again. I would love to see this bakery grow into something huge--imagine finding their almond cake in local markets or even at Wegmans one day (where I'd happily pay twice the price!). This bakery is a gift to the gluten-free community and dessert lovers alike. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! I highly highly recommend Kizbee's Kitchen desserts = 5/5 !

I ordered an 8 inch birthday cake which had lemon cake, raspberry filling and buttercream icing. Cake was nicely decorated and looked beautiful on our table. It was fresh, moist and flavorful. The lemon raspberry combo had just the right amount of tartness. This is a cute little neighborhood style bakery which had loads of delicious looking baked goods. The staff I dealt with on the phone and in person were very kind and informative. We'll definitely be back.

Whenever I shop here, most of the customers here are middle aged and older. Like me…read more Which makes me think this place, it's offerings and it's customers are aging out. The (newest ?) baker has a diffident, heavy hand. Globs of smeared sugar icing across the tops of danish render them unappealing. Possibly Chester's biggest draw? Their famed cinnamon buns. Now shrunk in size to almost a third of their former glory. And what's with the tasteless bits of chopped nuts? I'm a home baker. A former chef. This cannot last.... I was reluctant to write this review. When we first moved here from Philly, after my lifelong favorite childhood bakery in OC closed, Chester's was my go to place for cinnamon buns. Was.....

Cookies for dinner on occasion is normal! It was the BEST cookie I've ever had! And can you spell H-U-G-E? The cookie came in a pink box. When I opened it I couldn't believe my eyes! The second item I had was the next morning. When a student hands you a pink box and you're expecting a cookie, but turns out it's a cheesecake, you do the only respectable thing...have cheesecake for breakfast! Who knew Crumbl did more than just cookies? I do, NOW! The cheesecake sits on the partner of graham cracker crumbs (NY cheesecake doesn't have crust, so I don't normally like a graham cracker crust, but this was perfect!), the creamy filling was topped with raspberry puree and dollop of whipped cream! Delicious! Crumbl really is all the HYPE!

The Brigantine location was very accommodating and tried to help him so he wouldn't have to drive all the way over to Margate - so shout out to them for their service!

Would recommend!

It's just such a thick cutlet that you feel like you're going to break your jaw when you try to bite into the sandwich lol. Especially when they stack the cutlets on top of each other.

What makes this bakery unlike any other I have ever been to is that the founder is an actual food scientist! She has a PhD in Microbiology with an emphasis in fermentation and Functional Nutrition Behavioral Science according to their website. Everything they offer is nutrient dense & organic! In addition, most items are made with fermented vegetables & it's all gluten free. I've had some healthy baked goods before, but nothing holds a candle to how good the items taste at beneficial bakery while also being super nutritious! Service during pickup time was super quick and & there are other items sold during their open hours like hot cocoa & drinks but I haven't yet tried them. They grow a lot of items onsite which I found really cool to see from the parking lot. I have had the chocolate chunk cookie, sourdough, vegan cream cheese, blueberry bagel, nondairy vanilla creamer, vegan yogurt, & probiotic granola. I also have the fermented veggie brownie mix that I haven't made yet. Everything was outstanding & I'm looking forward to trying more items in the future!

It is a small space but there are several tables and chairs to sit and do some work during the day. They have pretty good coffee. I always get their iced lattes.

They have a nice variety of pastries. They usually have a spinach, tomato or mushroom savory pastry. They're a tasty and nice snack to enjoy.
