If Gan Eden had a branch on Route 9, it would probably be called Hershy’s Bakery. You walk in and right away get hit with that warm, heimish smell of fresh challah and rugelach — mamash a nefesh-refresh. The showcases are loaded like a kiddush on Shabbos Mevorchim: babkes, cakes, cookies, doughnuts, every chashuve maaseh taig you can think of. You come in “just for a challah,” and somehow you’re walking out with three boxes and a danish already half eaten in the car. Don’t ask.
The staff is super friendly, real heimishe chevra — patient with the indecisive types who stand there for ten minutes shtelling, “Nu, should I take the chocolate or cinnamon?” (Answer: both. Always both.) Their challos are fluffy, geshmak, and look beautiful on the Shabbos table, the kind you put in the middle and feel like a real baalabos.
Prices are normal, portions are generous, and the simchas hachaim is included at no extra charge. For Shabbos, Yom Tov, or just a random Tuesday “I need something shtark with my coffee,” Hershy’s is the go-to. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a proper heimishe bakery with a leibidige vibe and pastries that are mamash gevaldig.
When you walk in the delicious smell hits you in the face.
THE BEST CHALLAH IN LAKEWOOD.
The best cake we have ever eaten
It was for my son’s birthday today , the best !!
Thank you
We got sufganiyot from Hershy's Bakery, and they were absolutely delicious! The dough was just right—soft, slightly chewy, and perfectly rich, just like a great sufganiyah should be. They were incredibly fresh and had such an authentic taste. Highly recommend for anyone looking for high-quality baked goods!
Best donuts ever! Will be back for more.
