This place is truly a gem. Who would have thought to look in industrial South Hackensack? I always said that the quality of the bread really makes or breaks the sandwich, and thankfully their home made rolls and breads are the best around. Everything from sandwiches to hot foods to deserts that i have ordered have been phenomenal. I do not have one bad thing to say about this place. Everything is fresh, high quality, and very reasonably priced for the great portions you receive. Support your local businesses. Gems like this truly deserve to shine. read more

Stopped in based on yelp reviews, ordered the Clemente special and it lived up to the hype....a little off the beaten path, but great atmosphere, and even better food. Well worth the trip read more

We are visiting here from California and let me tell you the food and staff are AMAZING!!! Not only were they friendly they are super generous! We had some sandwiches and salads and then picked out some desserts to take with us! Vita Maria not only helped out she also sent 3 bags of traditional cookies to take with us on the house! Talk about service with a smile! Definitely going to try to come by again before we leave! read more

Clemente Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - South Hackensack, New Jersey

Clementes Bakery/Deli is the real deal! I work in Hackensack and our whole office gets lunch from here 2-3 times a week. I don't know whom Lauren R. had a problem with but I pick up lunch here all the time and have never been treated with disrespect or unkind words. My favorite sandwich is chicken cutlet fresh mozz and roasted peppers with a little balsamic....mmmmhmmm! Basically everything here is good and of the highest quality . They completely renovated the inside recently so now they have a nice sitting area inside as well as outside, a huge deli counter and aisles of fresh groceries/treats to bring home! Clementes, I give you 2 thumbs up always - i like to share with people the best italian deli ever but at the same time keep to myself this little hidden gem nestled away in good ole' Hackensack! read more

Always a pleasure to visit this nice establishment. Good food, good people and always a clean environment.

Love the Clemente rolls so soft and addicting

Came to this fine Italian bakery with an Italian buddy of mine. The sandwich was enormous, packed with the finest deli meat and cheese. I believe it was prosciutto with mozzarella, whatever it was it was delicious and packed with flavor. I was very surprised of the location. It's not located in a downtown area, or a strip mall, but in an area with warehouses. In fact, Clemente's itself is located in one of the said warehouses, and it's one where damn good sandwiches can be found. I'll have to return sometime to try their other food options and baked goods, it is called Clemente's bakery after all. read more

I come here for lunch anytime I'm in the area for work. Some of the best sandwiches I've ever had are here among many other Italian favorites. It's a bunch of old goodfellas making everything behind the counter. The bakery area is to die for too. read more

The best bakery i have been to in a while !!! I absolutely love their bread and fresh mozzarella! They make the best sandwiches !!!I recommend the Clemente special read more

You can NOT go wrong wether you want to treat this place as a deli, bakery, pizzeria or sit down lunch stop. Alway fresh hot food like baked chicken with grilled zucchini or ribs with rice and broccoli. Plenty of peeps just come in for a slice or a hero. I just wish I was in South Hackensack more often. read more

This deli is definitely hidden. Was surprised to even know that it was so near to us. Glad that I was recommended as its the best place to go should you want quality deli sandwiches. Although the counter girls can use some manners, the food keeps me as a returning customer. read more

Best sandwiches in the area, and Italian bakery. I love to get Hero's for my entire family, when in the area. It doesn't get better then fresh made bread and mozzarella daily. This is the place to be, sometimes the line can be long but it's well worth it. If you go to late you'll witness that they run out of bread. Enjoy eating here, it's worth the wait. read more

Stumbled upon this gem by my tire place. The guy behind the counter was really helpful and so was the customer! Mortadella and American cheese!!!! Nooo!!! I'm West Indian what do I know! But deli guy recommended Swiss and I couldn't been happier! Next time I will be more adventurous! Great selection of everything Italian!!! read more

Best prosciutto (domestic and imported) subs around. The place is cash only but they do have an ATM you can use. The bread is awesome as well. I stop by here whenever I am in the mood for a great sub. I have only gotten the proscuitto di parma sub, so I can't speak for anything else here. read more

Exceptional sandwich of prosciutto ,mozzarella, my first visit and am so amazed at their offerings of various other Italian products, the taste was definitely on the money. It is a definite yes for a rendezvous of a lunch treat again. I will be back every time colleagues and I are in for an Italian fare. read more

best Italian bread in the area, originally was in Union City when i was a kid, my mom used to send me there all the time for the stale bread for meatballs. my grandchildren love there dinner rolls. Get there bread for every special occasion read more

My husband told me about this place... Went there for lunch and had the chicken cutlet with lettuce tomato and mozzarella he recommended balsamic dressing.. It was good ... the bread was amazing and every item was fresh... I've gone there a few times and tried different item and always fresh.. One thing I did not like was that they had a minimum on credit cards and it took time to go get cash since I don't like to carry cash. read more

Thanks to yelp i found this place even tough my work is just couple of miles away. Food is delicious by far the best deli sandwiches i ve ever get. Bread is home made and its all authentic food. Will definitely come back. read more

This place was highly recommended by a classmate so I decide to give it a try. Will say the ingredients are extremely fresh! The friendliness from the deli guy who made my sandwich could have been a lot better. I ordered a small turkey with mozzarella which according to the menu was $5.50 I was charged 1.50 xtra for lettuce and tomatoes. Even though it said lettuce tomato extra I wasn't expecting to pay a whole $1.50 for lettuce and tomato. Between my sandwich and a small hot chocolate I paid $10.70 which I think is a little steep. No complaints on the food so if you don't mind paying their prices give them a try. read more

Was in town for work and found this hidden gem. Friendly service and awesome food. I had the pastrami and even took fresh baked cookies home. Will be back soon. read more

One of the only places in NJ that you walk in and you are in Italy.... Family feel, not formal, great AMAZING food, try the sandwiches, try the baked goods, try the bread... try the cheese - OMG the cheese..... well all I can say is you will have to stay away because you will need to go work out after. Great family service, no attitude and all done with a smile. i have been going there for years and its one of the BEST I know. read more

This has to be the best bakery ever. The food is amazing and the bread is delicious. The staff is very kind and friendly. I am definitely going back soon! I recommend it. read more

Usually love this deli, but completely dissatisfied with sandwich today. Barely had any meat on it and can't believe payed $9 for nothing ~ could have gone to Subway and gotten 3 of the same. Don't think will be returning. read more

Great food , But the worst service ever !!! We got to the place 20 minutes before closing time The sandwich cook had a bad attitude because closing time was approaching. Then they rushed our group which was off 14 people because they had to close at one. As we walked out and waiting for our ride we started talking to the daughter of the owner and she explained to us that that was normal usually on Sundays. Then a truck approach and one Italian guy ask her if you could just get in to buy two loafs of bread ( it was 1:05 when he showed up). She said my mom is going to kill me but what can I say, come in. Definitely felt discriminated. read more

One of the absolute best places to get some real italian meat. I usually go for a sandwich, or to stock up on some mozz, sundried tomatoes and cold cuts. Generally I get some prosciutto, capricola, mozz, and sundried tomatoes, drizzled in balsamic and its a revelation. I swear, my grandma would be spinnin in her grave if she saw my facial reaction to some of the cooked items, like their sausage and peppers and fired calamari. I'm drooling just thinking about it now. If you ever find yourself in or around Hackensack, Clemente's is worth the trip. read more

This is an authentic italian deli plus! I love their sandwiches, mozzeralla is great and better still are their breads and italian pastries. It's a must try, we have been there for lunch a few times and from the sandwich to the cannoli all was delish! There's so much more to try so I'll keep going back. read more

Visited yesterday for the first time and I was really impressed. I ordered a Prosciutto and Mozzarella sub and it was amazing!!! Also got some pizza for the nephews and they enjoyed it. The place is well kept and very inviting. I will definitely be returning! read more

The product is good in the place I will not take that away from them but the customer service has a lot to be desired. We went yesterday very early in the morning to order our Eastera Antipasto Platters there were no lines and only l person in front of me on the deli line which the owner/counterperson was talking and getting her order. MY TURN asked if I could order my platter (NO ONE IS BEHIND ME) he said go over there and the girls would take my order. Went by the bread the curt woman/girl tells me they only take orders from Monday to Friday and only after 2:00 (SO WHAT ABOUT US PEOPLE WHO WORK AND CAN'T GET THERE AT THE HOUR) then she say's to my husband and I go sit over there and MAYBE we'll get to you and take your order if we have time. What an attituted, is this the way people run businesses these day? I'm Italian and this was a really bad call for them. I will tell everyone I know about their attitude and I will never step foot in this place again. We left and I threw the pamphelt away in their own garbage. These people should really take a class in customer service because it's not MAYBE THEY NEED IT....THEY NEED IT. Go tell maybe to someone else sweetheart because you lost a BIG ORDER and a CUSTOMER. read more

Could have went to my around the corner deli for a better sandwich. Ordered a Turkey and Mozzarella large sandwich which was $7.00 on the board, only thing I asked for was hot peppers, and was charged and extra dollar for 6 slices of peppers which were stock peppers you would find at restaurant depot, junk! The turkey was Thumans which is good but they put about 6 slices on it, but did cut a hefty amount of mozzarella. If I wanted a cheese sandwich that's what I woulda ordered. Anyways the sandwich was bland and the bread being this is a bakery, sucked! To me a good sandwich starts with fresh good chewy bread, and this was flaky dry and blah. Also upon checkout I bought a sausage bread $5.00, cut a few slices when I was home and basically was just a loaf of bread with a few chumks of sausage, if u want real deL sausage bread to to Vitamias, enough said. Overall I will not venture out to this bakery anymore, too many other great options then to come here. read more

Clemente's Bakery! What can I say, their sandwiches are top notch. I typically like an Italian sandwich but when I read about the Clemente's special with fresh Mozzarella instead of provolone, I was hooked! The deli was fresh and mozzarella was delightful. The only downfall I had about it was how hard the bread was. Not saying I wouldn't eat it again but a softer roll would make it a 7 star review! Thank you Clemente! read more

The food was amazing and owners so friendly!! Prices are very reasonable compared to other areas of NJ. Highly recommend!

Finally I have some time to write a few YELP reviews. I have spent the last year dining out at many NYC restaurants and others around on my quest to live vegan for a year. It's not easy sometimes when I venture out of NYC's many vegetarian friendly places. I am either extremely pleased or extremely disappointed. I am happy to say that Clemente's Bakery was like getting red carpet service. I have been a customer many times when I ate meat and cold cuts but only a few since I have switched over. First things first, Rosario, who works behind the sandwich counter not only remembered me but knew exactly what I could and could not have. In the past, I used to be in love with the prosciutto mozzarella sandwiches here but now I have moved on to the grilled eggplant and other antipasto-like vegetables. He made me an amazing sandwich with those vegetables and olive oil on Clemente's whole wheat bread. I honestly felt very special since it's a little difficult when you are surrounded by delicious temptations. When I ordered my espresso for a little pick me up, I was more then inspired by the wonderful and charismatic front of the house energy of Giulia and Maria. I enjoyed my sandwich and then bought a bag of those delicious cookies that they are known for. Even though I am on a vegan mission, I couldn't resist but to buy some of their amazing mozzarella for my family. It was a wonderful experience, yet again! read more

I've been here a few times because I work relatively close by. I normally order the Clemente's Special sandwich (amazing sandwich). I would rate it 4-5 star if it was just based on the food, but the women at the counter at the end are so rude and unfriendly. read more

The food is good, especially the sandwiches but they have terrible service, especially the ladies behind the counter. It is as if they are giving you free food! read more

Food is good. Service is friendly. The prices are ridiculous. Upcharged $2 for a wrap instead of bread. No reason why a wrap with mortadella, cheese, and sun dried tomatoes should cost over $12. read more

Tried a piece of my sons Italian sub, it was fantastic. Can't wait to visit Clemente myself.

Weekend breakfast selections aren't too varied. Better for lunch.

Best Italian deli, great staff that always remember everyone. They make fabulous cappuccino too!

From the Family that owns and works so very hard to the amazing smell of the authentic Italian Food...it is truly an amazing place! The staff greets you as if you are Family!!The food prepared daily is like being in your Grandmas house, so fresh, so delicious ! Don't go hungry you will buy everything they sell! Don't miss out on great food filled with lots of love and pride!! Fresh dishes prepared daily, amazing lunch specials and why not take home some for dinner while your there!! You won't regret it! It is my favorite place for comfort food, the best best for Italian Food, and above all so fresh each and every day!!! read more

Great food great smells from baking friendly counter people
