These bakeries that you chose in Ocean County are incredibly tasty and locally owned for many years. What makes a great bakery. Is it the smell when you walk in? Is it their delicious pies or Italian pastries? Maybe it's a simple, delicious chocolate chip cookie. Let's talk bread, delicious bread, from bakeries. You will never find a better, fresh loaf than at a bakery.

Each one of these bakeries has its very own specialties. For instance, Mueller's in Bayhead is known for their scrumptious crumb cake. OMG, if you've never tasted it you have to try it.
