New Jersey's Very Best Bakery and One of the Best in America

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.

The type of store where, as soon as you walk in, you get the aroma of the bread, pies, cookies, etc.
