Delicious! It’s New Jersey’s Very Best Bakery and One of the Best in America
New Jersey's Very Best Bakery and One of the Best in America
The holiday season is here, and there is something special about "baked goods" and Christmas, which go hand in hand. The same goes for Thanksgiving and New Year's. Visiting a delicious bakery can add just that extra touch to enjoying your Holidays.
We have fantastic bakeries here in New Jersey, but to be honest it seems like there are fewer local bakeries than when I was growing up here in the Garden State. It seemed like there was a neighborhood bakery in every town, but that sadly is not the case. Yes, there are places that sell "packed" baked goods, but I'm talking about real fresh-made baked goods. The type of store where as soon as you walk in you get the aroma of the bread, pies, cookies, etc.
If you have a favorite "neighborhood bakery" please share it with us because we always invite your input from home and by doing so we share with each other some fantastic shops to maybe check out here in New Jersey.
