Last time the pecan ring seemed a little dry, but I really like the pecan ring. Love the crumb cake! Lobster tails are very good too.

Their coffee cakes are absolutely amazing but be water when they say heavy crumb coffee cake they 100% mean it. They're made for people that want a high crumb to cake ration. Every time I go there seems to be a line outside the door. Pro Tip: They freeze really well so you can stock up. Their other desserts and pastries are amazing but the crumb cake is the true star of the show read more

Paid over $40.00 for an eight-inch birthday cake. I picked the cake up at noon, brought it home and put it into the refrigerator. We went to cut the cake at 8:00 PM and the cake was completely FROZEN. After calling five times before someone picked up so I can complain I was told I should have taken the cake out three hours ahead of time before we serviced so the cake had time defrost. I have NEVER heard you should defrost a "Fresh Baked" bakery cake. read more

This is an all around fantastic bakery. Everyone raves about the crumb cake and of course that's a classic. But they also make a wonderful pecan ring filled with Bavarian cream. That seriously might be better than the crumb cake. At least I think so. It's that good. read more

B&W Bakery 314 Main Street Hackensack, NJ 07601 Cannoli French Pastry Napoleon Beehive Black & White Cookie Clown Cupcake And The Heavy Crumb Cake As soon as you step inside, you will witness all of the attractive, delicious delicacies this local spot has to offer! The clown cupcake was all right. The artistic appearance was impressive, but it looks better than it tastes. Aside from that, everything else is a home run. You don't need to be afraid of their version of the beehive. This tasty pastry is filled with Bavarian cream and a touch of honey. The napoleon had so many multiple layers of the puff pastry and Bavarian cream. You couldn't ask for more. I especially admired the symmetrical design at the top. The winner of the race is undoubtedly B&W's signature item: the heavy crumb cake! The bottom is soft and spongy while the top is covered with gigantic chewy crumbs and lots of powdered sugar. The crumb cake is only sold by the block, but you won't have to worry about leftovers. I guarantee everyone will devour it within a day or two. Overall, this is an awesome local spot that sells a decent variety of baked goods! Make sure you bring cash because they do not accept credit card or Apple Pay. #bakery #napoleonpastry #crumbcake #frenchpastry #cannoli #beehivecake #blackandwhitecookie #hackensacknj read more

Finally got to try the crumb cake! I never tried it before since it's just me and my husband and no way we could finish one alone. So I decided to pick one up for a housewarming we were going to. It was a Saturday at around noon, and there were a few people waiting in line. But shortly after we ordered, came the rush. They sell it whole (I don't believe they do slices), which is probably the size of one of Entenmann's crumb cakes. But this one is much better - though I'm sure there is just as much butter and sugar. The best part is that it only cost about $11. We bought a few other items too, including cannolis, eclairs, and petit fours. The petit fours come out to about $1 a piece but these were way too sweet for us. There was an almond danish that caught my eye, so I'll definitely have to come back to try that. Tip - cash only read more

This is the second time I've been here, and I should have come a lot more often (although I can't even remember the first time because it was almost 9 years ago!) I bought: - the cream horn, which was heavenly; the cream was fluffy and not overly sweet - the almond ring, which was a nice surprise as it had almond paste inside The service was friendly and quick. See you soon! read more

The whipped eclairs and carrot cake were the top favorites, even above the famous crumb cake. Honestly not the best crumb cake I had and it was super dry and falling apart, didn't understand the hype. But the eclairs and carrot cake deserve its own notice. read more

Crumb cake. What more do you need. What more do you want ? It goes good for breakfast, it goes great for dessert. It goes fine for lunch, and for dinner it won't hurt. This place has the best crumb cake. If you can find another place that does it better, I dare you bring me a piece of that right now and we'll see. Until then; I'll be eating this crumb cake as often as I can. read more

B&W Bakery in Hackensack, NJ. "Home of the Famous Heavy Crumb Cake". Serving Hackensack, NJ for over 90 years, this institution is famous for their crumb cake but it's worth checking out their other goodies like the cherry cheesecake! This place is an institution! It is cash only and more of a take out bakery-so there is no seating but totally worth a trip! Insta: @thehungrysw read more

My sister-in-law ordered two coffee crumb cakes and cookies to be sent to us for Christmas. We live in California and received it yesterday (Christmas Eve). It is the most INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS crumb cake we have ever tasted!!! How do they make something as delicious as this crumb cake?! Like heaven on your lips! Thank you for the great job! The box (so heavy!) was received in perfect condition and very well packaged. Thank you! read more

Bottom line: Delicious heavy crumb cake delivered to me as a gift by use of the Goldbelly app/site. Quite a bit of settling occurred with the crumb topping but did not affect how tasty and moist it was, I enjoyed it. The Deets: Some good friends of mine sent me some holiday cheer in the form of B&W Bakery's "Famous Heavy Crumb Cake" as their website states, with delivery by the Goldbelly app/site. Delivery service happened within 48 hours it appears using Goldbelly. Being shipped from NJ to NC, yes, there was some settling that occurred to the cake of course but only noticing that a lot of the bigger crumb pieces (some were quite large!) were concentrated on one side post shipping but I was happy to receive this bakery goodness...see pics. I can see why it's known as "famous" in that it was delicious and actually more moist than I had anticipated it to be after shipping. Perfect to have with a good cup of coffee or some milk, this treat is pretty tasty and see how it earned "famous" indeed. I found it a good holiday treat to enjoy between Christmas and New Year's Day, very thankful of this gift! read more

Consistent food and service with a smile ! Cannolis, lobster tail with just amount of cream and tasty cookies! Still cash only.

Crumb cake, Boston cremes, rainbow cookies, pies, croissants, everything here is tasty and affordable. A whole sheet of crumb cake will run you for $17 but it's huge and a crowd favorite whenever we bring it for get togethers. There's not much parking on the street, so park behind in the lot with the Target and you can walk behind towards the entrance. Really great and friendly service here, always quick even though they can get quite busy. Love b&w! read more

One of the most overrated bakeries in New Jersey and if I were to compare it to smoke I would say this place is regular weed, Arizona. I've been to B&W Bakery at least 3 or 4 times trying to understand the hype, and each time I walk out wondering the same thing: how is this place rated so highly? Makes you seriously question if some spots are riding on old reputation or paying for reviews. Let's talk about the crumb cake. People call it "the best they've ever had" but honestly, if that's the best someone's ever had, they probably haven't experienced much. Harsh? Maybe. But it's the truth. The cake itself is bland, the crumb lacks depth, and the whole thing feels like nostalgia is doing more work than flavor. The cookies? Weak. Brownies? Also weak. Just nothing that stands out or makes me want to come back. I've had better baked goods from chains like Starbucks and that says a lot. At least Starbucks delivers more consistency and better quality across the board. There are levels when it comes to bakeries, and unfortunately, B&W isn't on that level. Overrated from top to bottom. read more

Old spot behind the Target. Park in Targets lot as street parking is nonexistent. Be prepared for people to beg you for money. And it's not "some change" but "few bucks like $5 or $10". Literally just happened to me. Anyway. The people working were quite nice. Prices are decent. Higher for some things than competitors. I don't mind paying if it's delicious. Black and white cookie. Seemed like day old cake. Dense and not fresh. Frosting is one side only. It's a thick one. Not my preference. I didn't finish it. Cannoli. It's good. Not memorable but good. Boston cream donut was good. But thick on the dough if you like a really dense type donut. Lobster tail was ugly. Like real ugly. Outside was nice. Light, flakey, crisp. Delicious. Inside was more of a whipped style cream than the usual custard. Inside was almost watery in texture. If you like lobster tails it's worth grabbing. Not as good as Rispolis but then again not many are. read more

I ordered a strawberry shortcake for a coworker via DoorDash and was super disappointed in the presentation.

The one star is all about the cookies. Let me be clear here: the cakes and other baked goods are exceptional. In fact, the jelly donuts are the second best in the area - yes there is one better nearby. But the cookies are TERRIBLE. I guess it's not surprising thinking about it because I am sure they don't turn over fast here. But they were hopelessly stale. Hopelessly outrageously stale. And by stale I don't mean hard. I mean that have that old stale taste. So unfortunate because everything else is so good. I assumed these would be too. Nope. read more

Trust me when I tell you this will be the best crumb cake you will ever have in your life. Unfortunately, I did not remember to take a picture before diving right into it, but the crumbs were MASSIVE!

Seems like everyone raves about the crumb cake at B&W...and I foolishly tried everything else, BUT the crumb cake. However, I'm glad to report that everything else (e.g. donuts, pastries) is REALLY GOOD if you're not going to get the crumb cake here. I happened upon B&W while driving around during the holidays and I noticed a steady stream of customers going in and out, so my noisy/curious mind just HAD to see what they were selling inside. The bakery isn't huge, but it has a train car structure to it - You go in one way, you leave the other. Simple. The employees were super nice as they had to put up with my indecisive mind while I was scanning through all of the bakery goodies they sold. Everything that they sell is pretty much laid out in front of your eyes, so you can easily get "bakery goods overload" (if there is such a thing) when you walk in. I opted to randomly get a few items from behind the employees - mostly donuts and breakfast baked goods, however they have EVERYTHING a typical bakery sells - an assorted collection of bread, cookies, cakes, pastries and more. And, within those categories, they have multiple flavors of everything! I wasn't at the bakery for long, but when I first stepped in, it seemed like the previous batch of customers had left and I walked in just when it emptied out, however, within minutes the bakery filled up again with a new group, so the traffic was pretty consistent. Also, I'm not sure if they have a parking lot, but, I had to park across the street at a random lot, however, it seems like most customers were just parking on the street. Definitely a nice local bakery and a good spot to fill your pastry cravings when you get one! (And I'll DEFINITELY be coming back for the crumb cake one day!) read more

Definitely one of the best places in New Jersey to get a tasty crumb cake. You really get a lot of food for the price so it is definitely worth it. On my trip here we got crumb cake, an apple crumb, black and white cookies, and almond horns. All the pastries and treats looked and smelled amazing! The place isn't too big and the staff are very friendly. It was quick and an overall great rime! I highly recommend! read more

I ordered the crumb cake via Goldbelly. So disappointed. Yes, there are lots of crumbs. But there was nothing else that was good. The cake was chewy and dry. I've had much better crumb cake from my local ShopRite. read more

This goldmine is unfortunately a 10-minute drive from me which means I'm here often, always for their Whipped Cream Eclairs and Strawberry Shortcake. Both are some of the best I've ever had and everyone who I've shared them with loves them too. The cream is light and creamy perfection so I don't feel bad when I eat the entire cake one quarter at a time. I absolutely recommend trying these two items. One thing to take note of is that they accept cash only. You can go online and place an order for pickup to get around this. Staff is amazing and will get your order ready if you arrive earlier than the estimated pickup time. read more

We needed crumb cake for our Sunday after church social and our regular source, the ethereal Styertown bakery, was closed. This Bergen County fave was said to have great Crumb cake so we drove and ordered 2 for the flock. The reviews, from the church regulars, were mixed. The mega fan of Styertown gave a one word review: "Dry". I agree... not as yummy as our regular. However others wolfed the cakes down and went home happy. Pretty good is the best I can muster as a review and plan on going back to Styertown as soon as they come back from vacation. read more

This is my go-to local bakery spot. I've recently discovered their sell lobster tails, and I am a fan of the light cream filling. I usually stop by after noon on the weekends but yesterday I went earlier, 11:30am and this is the best time when they still have everything in stock. Their chocolate glazed cream puffs are just like eating a bite size Boston cream donut. I prefer the donut version since it's soft and chewy. And their crumb cakes are the best- they sell out fast and luckily the staff always replenishes with a new tray. read more

This bakery was recommended to me by a friend specifically for the crumb cake. I'm a sucker for a good crumb cake. Naturally decided to check it out right away. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there was a bit of a line outside that just kept growing. It moved quickly and when I got inside there were a ton of people helping customers. I went with a crumb cake and a couple of black and white cookies. Neither disappointed ! The cake was the perfect ratio of cake to crumb, very moist, and not too sweet. Also only 9 dollars! I would definitely go back just for this and to try some other treats. read more
