Right from the outside you can tell this is an old time bakery with a lot of history of the area. They don't accept cards, it's cash only (mentioned near the register) & the selection is mostly bread and some baked sweet treats. We got the Raspberry muffin which at $1.80 was bigger than the average sized one and bursting with flavour. We loved it and wish we picked up a few more stuff!
Great old fashioned bakery with a nice selection of breads, pastries and cookies. The hard rolls (less than $1 each!) looked phenomenal as did the bagels. Since it was close to St. Patrick's Day, they had Irish soda bread and also hot cross buns available. There were also biscuits with raisins in them. They looked fine! Unfortunately, there is no seating in the store, it is simply a store. I could see this being a nice place to come for a morning bagel or hard roll with butter. They just aren't set up to do so. I got an eclair and it was excellent, large and had a great ganache frosting. It was gone quite quickly. They also had a nice selection of cookies, danish and turnover pastries. You can buy rolls separately or in a bag. They have dinner rolls, too. If you're looking for "Texas toast" this is where you can get that kind of bread. Other kinds of bread that they have: Multigrain, Rye (unseeded), a pulled(?) white, and others. There was much more than I recall. Definitely worth the trip. Prices were reasonable and I'm sure the quality is better than you'll find at a grocery store.
WOW! You wouldn't expect this outside of New Jersey or New York. Incredible rolls. If you are every stopping by grab a dozen. Just had a burger on one after eating four with butter over the last two days. I could kiss the ground. An absolute gem. As long as their doors remain open there is a place for Scranton on the map.
Nice bakery with a long history in the area. They have a pretty decent selection of pastries in the morning. Be sure to get there as soon as you can. It's nearby On&On marketplace that has a lot of cool antique items. Across the street is Electric City Axe Throwing which is awesome.
Yet one more removed review for using the word "kosher." To all the haters out there, find something better to do than report reviews that you don't like. This place is a gem. Their baked goods are amazing and delicious. The hard rolls are a staple of Scranton and a former long standing Sunday morning tradition in our home. So crispy and crusty on the outside and delicious on the inside. Great to eat while reading the paper! Their bagels are great too and I always get a loaf of rye bread to take home. Cookies and pastries are excellent as well and don't last long. Chocolate chip cookies are the best!!! As mentioned previously, this place is Kosher and serves the large community in Scranton. The staff are always friendly and helpful and get you in and out quickly every time.
Well, it took me 2 years to find this place! I moved to the area a few years back, like anytime one moves it takes a bit of time to find all the "gems" in the area. Let me tell you THIS bakery should be in the "Hall of FAME" for their stellar awesomeness, daily, that does not disappoint! I have not found one thing that myself or my family does not love. Big shout out to Laura, and the whole staff for being so helpful and having such fantastic bread and treats! Love this place! YUMTASTIC!
