Reviews of Balthazar Bakery (Bakery)

Avneet Hall

Loved each and every item especially the mango-passion fruit tart. That was amazing

kathleen b

This outpost of the famed NYC boulangerie is worth the trip. It is almost impossible not to be tempted by every single, mouth watering item. Be prepared to overspend and hunt for parking if the small lot is filled.

Michael McCoy

Expensive, but worth it. Can easily drop $50 on various treats. Baguettes and croissants are goto items.

Youngjoon Jo

Tasty pastries. Love almond croissants.

Sanghee Lee

(Translated by Google) Most French bakery. Good value for money compared to nearby Korean Bakery Bread. Stump coffee beans are also available. (Original) 가장 프랑스풍 베이커리. 근처의 한국 제과점 빵에 비해 가격대비 훌륭. 스텀프 커피원두도 구입가능.

Toan Tran

Delicious freshly baked goods. What more can you ask for?? It can get super packed inside but well worth the wait.

Rick Roll

Good bread, but sometimes they will charge you extra because you can't see the prices getting chalked up. Service was a little on the rude side. A little pricey, but great quality.

Benedita Stylist

I dream of it

Elizabeth Soh

Best bakery in NJ. Everything is amazing here.

I buy their bread at DeCicco’s I love it. ❤️

Vegas Vivant

I love French pastries that stay true to the recipe and didn't Americanize itself. It's not overly sweet but very delicious. They don't skimp on the fillings and there's an abundance of desserts, breads, cookies etc to choose from. There's something here for everyone. All fresh. Prices are fair for this good quality. I would come here everyday if I lived closer. Park across the street in the lot where all the delivery trucks are if you don't want to wait for a spot. Expect a line but worth the wait.

Eric Kim

It's pretty rare to have a good quality local bakery to go to. I'm fortunate to live close to Balthazar. I know that everytime I walk in and order bread, it is fresh and high quality. I can also expect seasonal new specials every week. What makes it even better is that it's affordable and competitive. You really can't go wrong here.

Karyn Neal

Awesome food and staff

José Alberto Serrano

The absolute, unquestionable and most fine bakery in the state of New Jersey. 5 stars, AAAAA+++++

Peter Gonzalez

Edit-11/25/17- I'm editing my review and deducting a star. It seems the bakery has increased the price of baguettes to $2.50. In addition the baguettes are smaller than they used to be. Originally the loaves were almost the same size as the bag, but now there's ~6 inches more bag than bread. THIS is a bakery. I go there almost every day for a baguette. Almost everything on display is fantastic. The price is steep, but you're paying for real food.

Sheldon Bryan

Don't let the size fool you, this tiny bakery is the little brother to it's bigger establishment in NYC but makes bread that can be smelled blocks before your arrival. I had a few danishes and yes, they were a delight. Parking can be tough and there is almost ALWAYS a line but good things come to those who wait and this my friend... is worth the wait.

David S Mandel

Ultimate bakery that makes baking an art. Have been patronizing them for years and will continue to do so. Their specialty breads are addictive.

Nick R.

Amazing goodies and delish breads. French bread is a must. Monkey bread is super good. Highly recommend ham chz croissant!

SGFL

Best bakery in Northern NJ. If you know the restaurant in SOHO this is where their baked goods come from.

Carly Schumer

I have never been disappointed at this bakery. EVERYTHING is fresh and delicious.

Gigi Anders

This is about high-class baked calories. Everything is divine. I just wish they’d label their goods so I wouldn’t have to wait 20 minutes for each person in line ahead of me asking, “What is that?” “What’s in that?” “Does that have nuts?” And so on.

(Translated by Google) A great bread factory. A store that sells by direct retail is small space that is full even if only five people stand. There is a lot of guests in the morning. I have recently repaired and got a little room, but it is small. The process of making bread all looks like glass windows. It is an old building, but it can be seen directly that it is produced in order cleanly. Especially the taste of bread is more delicious than anywhere else. I visit every Saturday morning because I buy bread once a week. Sunday is also available in the morning. It is a bakery that I strongly recommend. It is said to be used in a fine dining restaurant in New Jersey. (Original) 훌륭한 빵공장. 직접 소매로 판매하는 매장은 5명만 서 있어도 가득차는 작은 공간. 오전에는 손님이 많다 최근에 수리해서 공간을 조금 키웠다 그래도 작다. 빵을 만드는 과정이 모두 유리창으로 보인다. 오래된 건물이지만 청결하고 순서있게 생산되는 것을 직접 볼 수 있다. 특히 빵 맛이 어느곳보다 맛이 있다. 매주 한번씩은 빵을 구입하기 때문에 토요일 오전에 방문한다. 일요일도 오전에는 구입이 가능하다. 강력히 추천하고 싶은 빵집이다. 뉴저지에서 고급식당에서 많이 사용한다고 한다.

Susan Martin

The smell, the taste... all delicious.

Tali Poleg

The best!

Drew Elovitz

yong suh

I've never seen a place like this. Wow! What an amazing place. Real bakery/factory.

Entela Keta

Worst staff ever. The bread is of good quality, but staff can not handle the pressure of the line and their behavior is ridiculous. I am not going to by a good bread with the price of that behaviour

Maria C

bread and pastries are delicious. Expensive but worth it.

Jaimie Lee

Great selection of pastries, but we especially enjoyed the croissants and apple turnover, which they are quick to run out of, so be sure to get their bright and early. The location is a fun sight to see especially with the glass walls that let you peer into the baking process itself. Take some time to take it all in.

R F

It's just a in and out bakery with no lounge area. They only have coffee as an option and tons of delicious treats.

John Bahr

Not many better without crossing the Atlantic.

Mike McGarry

Just wonderful!! Delicious and special!

Yaniv Ben-Asher

Super

Ismet Djurovic

The best of everything ni words to describe how good is this place

Michael

A great bakery from the bread, from a chibata to a raisin pecan, the gilates with various vegetables and cheese, to my favorite of all their sticky buns.

jeffrey flaster

Balthazar is a candy store for adults.

Henning Schulzrinne

Great breads; long lines in Sunday.

jungeun kim

World's best

Hyenju kim

So very yummy bread. Never thought of a plain bread would be that good. But as mentioned on one of review, I had a feeling they charged extra or something since they're not giving me my receipt. make sure you get your receipt! and prepared for the long line of wait.

Daniel Park

Always get PECAN CRANBERRY LOAF large one, it lasts me for 3-4 days. The best bakery around this area. Lately some Asian bakeries popped up with fancy looking pastries. They are OK, too. This bakery has more that what they have. My favorite bakery.

Dave Loza

The bake goods are delicious, especially the chocolate croissants.

Carol Schulzrinne

Best bread & pastries.

Thomas Barnhart

The best. My favorites are their mini sticky buns, apple danish and petite pan. The 500 pound mountain of butter is pretty impressive too.

Theresa Russell

Great bread !

Peter Garea

Awesome bakery. Rosemary wheel is

Jai Lee

This is a large bakery with a diverse selection of pastries. Everything is made from scratch. The taste of the bread & pastry are fresh and rich.

Midnightcowboy

What a great bakery. You can't go wrong any kinds of breads or deserts. Parking lot has some issues, becareful when you leave parkinglot.

Karen Botkin

Great bakery products. Reputation is county- wide.

Aaron Kade

Terrible service and staff are rude. When I went into Balthazar, I bought two loafs of bread. When I received the bag, I did not check if I had the two breads, so I walked to my car. When I looked to see what was in the bag, I only found one loaf. I went back into the store and I told the cashier that I did not receive my other loaf of bread. She screamed at me and said that she SAW me take the two loafs of bread to my car. I said that I did not have the two loafs and that I wanted another one. She kept arguing with me, until another woman that was also in the store when I was there, walked in and said, "Sorry. I took another bag by accident." When she said this, I was so upset and furious at the cashier, she was basically calling me a THIEF. I told her that I am not a thief and the way she treated me was unacceptable and unprofessional. She did not even apologize. I will NEVER come to this place again and I am truly shocked that she treated me this way. I wouldn't recommend buying anything from here.

Oscar Rimolo

Your staff is professional, courteous and efficient; and the baked goods are spectacular! Even when is over crowded no waiting time The BESTin the industry

Jorge Hernandez

I loved this place... :)

Tatiana Makovsky

Very good food

michael Darenzo

Balthazar is the quintessential French bakery everything they make is too delicious and the service is excellent as well

Keir Rothnie

If you have never been there, you are quite simply missing out. Best French bakery in town - any town - and I lived in Paris for 12 years :-)

Sean Makovsky

The best brownies. Tasty and delicious.

Antoine Georges

Expensive and long lines but worth it

Jae Hyeong Ha

Delicious bread and cozy place

IC C

The is a Gem, there are not much good stuff here in NJ . I've worked in Paris for many years, and this place is the closest to the real thing so far. Maison Kayser is the closest competition, but they are at a lower tier.

Patti Walters

Great products, nasty customer harassing my friend about her service dog. I felt comfortable and got my goodies and paid and left abrubtly. Man was out of control with comments. Demeanor. Tone, and perception. Best bakery in area

Melvin Joel

Delicious! As expected, store opens at 7am on the dot. Staff is super helpful and efficient. First time and certaintly won't be the last! Almond croissants were my fav but all pastries were excellent!

Best baked goods on this side of the Hudson. Everything is good, seriously, so choose what looks nice to you. Cheese Danish and Palmier highly recommended.

yevgeniy shteynblik

Ok Google, you do not have to shame me. Yes, I frequent this baking establishment.

Derek Kleinbaum

Balthazar bakery; there's just simply no competition.

Robert Kim

Excellent bakery. I love their mango tart and almond croissant. Their baguette is also excellent.

Jeff Flaster

Best bakery ever! Just wish they'd offer that Paysanne bread more often. It is stunningly delicious!

Mr. Bubbsy

French technique done to perfection! i have no problem stating this is the best bakery in NJ , old world style breads , the sourdough rye, baguette and seeded rolls are some of my go to items.The pastries, tarts , galletes , croissants, caneles, financier and cookies are delicious and top notch! prices are on the high end but worth the splurge!

Nina CMP

What's not to love about this place? Their pastry selection is fresh daily, with a huge variety for anyone to find at least one item to enjoy. The staff is friendly and keeps the busy line moving smoothly. So glad this is here in NJ!

Hansong Kim

Best bakery in NJ & NY. Balthazar serves lots of breads and pastry. They have a factory in NJ. You you can enjoy very fresh bread and sweets. I always order small brochu for my mini burgers. Great great! Pro : clean, fresh, lots of kinds Con : no seating area

siobian clement

Absolutely wonderful bake goods. After coming here once you will be addicted. I haven't had such perfect baked goods since France. They are perfect when we have guest staying over..our friends have actually requested specific items when they stay over...i suggest anyone try this bakery they won't be disappointed

Karen Mac

Tacomar Valentin

Alexander Molodan

Good quality and selection

Dmitry Ovrutsky

This is the bakery that I go to to get baked goods for special occasions. Great selection of breads. Delicious cakes and tarts. Expensive, but worth it.

Matthew Delaney

Butter, butter and more butter. Breads, croissants, pastries, cookies, all fantastic. Lines can get long in weekends but never more than a 10 minute wait.

Rafael Romero

Excelente pan hecho bajo estrictas reglas de calidad y buen sabor.

M K

Great place with great tasting breads and other baked goods. Second to none.

Tom Hart

The best fresh bread...I stop by every time i am in the neighborhood. No sugar, no nothing, just good fresh bread and nice service.

Chris Devita

Great products but, can get super crowded on weekends and has a very tiny retail space for people to wait on line.

David Oliveira

This bakery can get swamped at times, making in-and-out service trivial. The days offerings are set to delight, whether you're looking for a whole loaf or just a treat of gallette. Everything here is top-notch tastey and the textures sublime.

Andre Mueninghoff

Simply superb. Memories of Munich.

Paul Cohen

Delicious local bakery. Delivers to many local restaurants as well as having a sales counter.

Todd V

Great for some pastries. I like the croissants myself. The best part is the coffee. I only gave it 3 stars because it seems so usual in my morning routine. Others might give it 5.

Noa Avtalion

The cookies and cakes are delicious. The bread loafs themselves worth the travel. Expensive, delicious, but it is a small crowded place. If you want a specific cake you better call and order in advanced. There key lime pie and the pecan pie are my favorites

Lourdes Coloma

The best bakery ever!

Young Seung Park

Bread with nuts and fruits are fantastic. But little bit pricy.

Slava Makovsky

Erdem Yildirim

One of the best bakeries in town

Inna A

Everything they make here is amazing. I can not get enough of their almond croissants and whole wheat crescent bread. Expect to wait at least 15-20 min on the weekends, the line goes out the door but its worth the wait!

Dan Fleischl

Great pastries, cakes, and breads. Staff is friendly and does their best to keep the line moving. Pricy, but you're paying for quality.

Hagop Kay

Very helpful staff,

DAvid Corwin

Excellent, less expensive than NYC stores and much fresher. Its true you should count your purchases when the store is extra crowded but they make mistakes in both directions. I suggest you order one of each
