The best , great coffee , great bread , great cookies and pastries, the Prosciutto di Parma sandwich with home made mozzarella, and home baked bread is to die for , this NYC/ North Jersey Siciliano makes a beeline for this place every time I pass through Teterboro. Cheers !!!! read more

This is not your run of the mill bakery. So do not get fooled by the name, in fact this place is more of a deli / bakery / specialty food one stop shopping. The homemade chip made me a customer for life. Such a gem. read more

Amazing service and great spreads . Reasonable prices with a wide variety of Italian products . Their sandwiches are to die for !!

I am from outside the area and looked this place up on yelp. I would give this business a 10 for friendly, generous and helpful! I was really impressed! The more that I talked to people there, I went around and purchased more. A real treasure. When you see couples, cops, firefighters, local business and trades people eating there or taking out, you know that you have found gold. The prepared hot food was delicious, deli items were fresh and delicious, bakery items were excellent! I only wish that I lived closer, I will be back for sure! I had a great experience! Thank you read more

Clemente Bakery - My favorite! - Bakeries Near Me - South Hackensack, New Jersey

See all

The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I have only been there once. The sub I ordered was 5 star, but there is so much more on the menu I need to explore. I arrived just before closing. Everybody was busy cleaning but at least 3 people asked if they could help me. Everybody was very pleasant. They obviously enjoyed their work. They gave me a nice sample of the house made mozzarella which was delicious. I asked around Hackensack Medical Center who had the best suds and everybody said Clemente Bakery". Yes, they are a bakery too.That means fresh bread!! The sub was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other items on the menu. read more

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

What happened to this place? It was so good a few years ago and now the bakery items are horrible. I spent $30 on a small tray with r pastries and we ate a forkful to try and threw them out. Even the deli, it's good but NOTHING like Jerry's in Englewood! read more

I used to work the other side of the street and this place is getting better and better! As other people say, their business is making and selling good homemade foods w/ authentic ingredients. You can't expect "super friendly customer care". Also they are distributor of Italian foods. So, this deli started as "outlet", I believe. I used to sniff aroma of bread and Italian dishes because they are making those every day. I really miss this place since I got a job next to Newark airport, but I'll stop by when I miss their sandwich. If you're living or visiting NJ, come to this place and see for yourself! read more

This place is all about customer service!! They were amazing on a last minute meal that we needed. Got everything ready in a snap and the food all came out amazing!! Thank you guys! Will def be using you again. read more

If you want great Italian food, this is the place !! Amazing food, great coffee and amazing service, staff is super friendly, and the prices are great! Definitely worth coming here! read more

Excellent Italian bakery. Everything is fresh, fresh, fresh! From the breads, to the meats, to the pastries, to the homemade meals. You will feel like you walked in a time warp and are in old-world Italy. The food is only surpassed by the quality service you receive. They really care about providing top-quality service. Prices are reasonable too. read more

Great Cafe in the weirdest location. You drive through a weird industrial area near the train tracks and there it is. It's a pretty big store, all sorts of imported good; beverages, meats, cheeses, pastas; Fresh baked bread, sfogliatella (?), brioche, and everything in between. The espresso is pretty good here too, not much crema, but still tasty. The wife ordered an egg and cheese sandwich, it comes on a small ciabatta roll, perfectly cooked eggs, awesome bread; I had a brioche, light and sweet, and an espresso. Would totally come here again at least to have a sandwich....and a coffee....and a brioche...and a chinotto....and maybe a cannoli. read more

Wow what a find! Uber'd over from midtown NYC to Clemente's and this is a great Italian bakery. All kinds of goods in the deli, Italian cookies and everything here. read more

Italian deli, bakery, mini market with plenty of space to sit. At a glance the gentlemen working behind the sandwich counter are evidence enough of the authentic Italian quality the products will provide. The younger ladies aren't very warm and fuzzy to talk to, but I appreciate how efficient they are in getting customers taken care of. Pastries = Amazing. Sfogliatelle was crisp, flaky and delicious. Biscotti come in two sizes, and are the perfect accompaniment for coffee to have as breakfast. Sesame cookies are a bit lightly sesamed, but burst with flavor. Sandwiches (specifically mozzarella and roasted red peppers) = blissful. I've had Many homemade mozzarellas in my day, and this one topped them all. Soft, with a hint of buttery saltiness, but not too sopping wet. Pair it with roasted peppers marinated in olive oil and a hint of garlic and you know you have a good thing. Sandwiches come in small sizes ($5-7) and large ($1-2 more). I ate half a small for breakfast (with cookies) and the other half for lunch (possibly with more cookies) and was satiated. Bugger appetites would be pleased with even just the small for a meal. The market area also offers taralli, pastas, sauces, Italian sodas (try Sanpelegrino's chinotto- if you like Campari, you'll love this alcohol free refreshment!), cookies and other sundries. Simple table and chair seating occupies half of the large store creating room for the many people who stop on for breakfast or lunch. Not many outlets available, and no wifi, but they'll let you sit for hours. read more

Since I work in Hackensack, I end up eating lunch here about 3-4 times a week. I haven't been to that many Italian deli-bakeries, but of the few I've been to, this is by far the best. You know it's a good sign when you walk into an Italian deli and hear the staff talking in Italian, after all. The fresh mozzerella cheese is nothing short of incredible, especially in their signature sandwich, the Clemente Special. The hot food is also excellent, as they usually have gnocchi, rigatoni, orrechietti, or some other wonderful pasta ready, with sides of vegetables, and the portions are huge. The perpetually cranky staff really grows on you after a while too, and sometimes I think it wouldn't be quite the same if they were actually in a good mood. read more

Looking for that traditional Italian deli that everyone raves about? Clemente's is just that place. Slightly out of the way in the industrial area of South Hackensack but definitely worth the slight detour. They just renovated and it looks great on the inside too. The food is amazing and I haven't had anything that I didn't absolutely love. I usually just get a sandwich and the two guys behind the counter are always friendly but to the point. The prosciutto di parma and fresh mozzarella are the best you can get. Sausage and pepperoni breads are always fresh and delicious. The Italian market inside sells everything that you would need to make the delicious feast. Imported olive oils, herbs, cookies, biscotti, etc. Like someone said...simple and delicious, as good as it gets! read more

I used to work in South Hackensack and most of my co-workers swore this place was the place to go for sandwiches. I've never been a fan. The bread is always tough, just like Jerry's in Englewood. I opt for the pizza whenever I get out numbered by my co-workers. The pizza isn't terrible but it is greasier than any other pizza I've ever had, EVER. The crust was flimsy and floppy, but the after I soaked up the cheese oil with a handful of napkins, the slice tasted decent with the sauce saving it all together. One other thing, half the prices on the menu have a ghetto white label that they slap on to show the price increase. You would assume that the price was being updated to reflect the current price. You'd be wrong. They have a price on the menu and then they have a price on their register. If you question it, they will point to the generic print that says "Prices are subject to change, blah, blah, blah." With the price increase and tax, the slice ends up costing you $2.50. Most pizzerias in Hackensack and most North NJ sell slices for less than or equal to $2.00 with no tax. read more

Such an amazing sandwich and even better staff! I will definitely be back to try more things. The Clemente special was superb

Clemente's isn't just a bakery. Their bread is excellent, to be sure, but I come here for their Italian specialty items like their cold cuts, cheeses, olives, and the ever evasive "00" flour. They have things like porchetta and speck, when a lot of Italian pork stores carry just your basic generic Italian cold cuts like capocolla or salami. Well Clemente's has all that and more. I travel here from Rockland County, NY simply because the pork stores by me, whether they be in Rockland or just over the border in NJ, don't have what Clemente's has. Which is to say they don't have what they SHOULD have. I'm from Brooklyn and I lived in Astoria so I've been spoiled when it comes to good pork stores. Clemente's is the closest thing to a Brooklyn pork store that I've been able to find in Rockland County/Northern NJ. read more

I love this bakery -they make the best and freshest sandwiches! The only downside is the price. It's a bit more on the expensive side....One time I walked out with 40$ worth of cold cuts. Everyone is friendly, the workers are pleasant, Overall the place feels like home. Everything they serve is delicious and home made. read more

Best Italian deli around!! My dad, straight off the boat Sicilian, goes there every morning!!! One semolina loaf and a shot of espresso! Their sandwiches are awesome! Everything is fresh, from the bread to the mozzarella to the cold cuts!! Lunch time gets super busy, so be prepared to wait on line, but it is well worth the wait!! read more

This is a bonafied Italian Bakery/Deli in the middle of industrial South Hackensack. The freshest mozzarella cheese and imported cold cuts around. Their freshly made sandwiches are out of this world. I wish they delivered. They do cater and deliver for large orders i believe. Large groups will be welcomed after their dining room is ready, it's currently being built. read more

Clementes is a staple in my house. The best imported prosciutto and fresh mozzarella that I have EVER had. The mozzarella from Clementes is better than any I had during my time spent in Italy. When I have company from out of town this is the first spot we hit for lunch. My go-to sandwich is the imported prosciutto and fresh mozz with tomatoes, basil, balsamic and oil. Fresh, simple and delicious! read more

This place is home to my favorite egg and cheese sandwich. The bread is soft, fresh and basically awesome and they load it up with egg and cheese for around $3. YUM. I've also had a lunch sandwich from here once with mozzarella and salami and it was fresh on the same delicious bread. They also sell things like gallon size Nutella jars so, yeah, they are cool. read more

Delizioso! I'm so glad I found this place (thanks to Yelp!) and now that I have I've been stopping in for their fresh mozzarella, pizza (out of this world!), pepperoni stromboli and loaves of freshly baked bread. Pricey but the food is quality and the selection is vast. They also have tables inside where you can sit and have lunch. Mangia! -MJ read more

Sis has been talking non-stop about this Italian deli tucked away in the Industrial area of Hackensack. So we decide to go together for lunch one day and she was not kidding...food is GOOD!! We ordered some large sandwiches(about 10") jam packed w/ fresh mortadella, buttery prosciutto, thick, sharp provolone(in my sandwich ) which had quite a kick& loaded w/roasted pepper! Heaven in my mouth!! My lil nephew had a juicy, tender chicken cutlet....that I just had to try! Dad & sis had same sandwhich but with fresh mozzarella, which they raved about. And then came a complimentary pastry( St. Joseph Zeppola or San Giuseppe) from the very sweet Maria that is always helping sis out w/her purchases every time she goes. One word for this delectable pastry: SCRUMPTIOUS!!! So good that we bought some to go. So if your in the area& want some authentic Italian delicacy's wether it's freshly made sandwiches, hot and cold antipasto, freshly made food, pastries or cookies, give Clemente's a try! I'm picky about my Italian deli's& sis was right, Clemente's does not disappoint! Make sure you get there early, lunch gets packed!! Oh check out their pasta aisle! We bought some really interesting shapes. Also got some good ol Italian cleaning supplies and my favorite /chocolate, Italian Easter Egg! One last thing, Clemente's is not very big compared to other deli's but it makes up in quality, service w/ a warm smile from all the girls, and a clean pretty dining area! read more

They have the best prosciutto and Mozz! I also love the peppers with the prosciutt wrapped around cheese. I am not in NJ all the time anymore but everytime I come home to visit I must stop by Clemente's for some goodies. Today I sent a buddy of mine here that is in town from Kentucky for the Sandy clean-up and he told me feeding these southern boys is a little different, they don't want anything to adventurous. It turns out that he decided to drop some cash and get a little of everything to sample for his crew, they loved every bit of it! Can't go wrong with this place, it is a staple in the North Jersey diet! read more

Nothing it's more Italian than this place, for a flavorful experience of a family owned business don't look any further!! Their prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sandwiches are a most as well as their sliced pizza !!! 15 starts for this place !!! A hidden gem !!! read more

Always outstanding food! This place never fails! The Clemente family treats you like your part of their family. Food is delish, bread is delish & the desserts must never be passed up! Run to this place, you will not be sorry! read more

Italian grocery store with excellent Italian heroes. Recently I go for the 'Paulie Special', which doesn't appear on the menu but somehow they always know - it is amazing. I recommend you NEVER go here, because I don't want to wait behind you in line. read more

Definitely my favorite spot around. It is a hidden gem and I am so happy to have found it! Absolutely everything is fresh and the highest quality available. The staff is always friendly and service is fast-which is convenient during a lunch break. My favorite is the prosciutto de Parma with artichokes and roasted peppers. The servings are always enough to satisfy anyone, and they have samples all over the place for you to try. I highly enjoy visiting and highly reccomend it to anyone looking for an amazing homestyle italian sub. I haven't tried their hot foods but they look wonderful too! read more

Bread and Italian cookies fresh baked in-house. Highest quality meats and cheeses. Fresh pastas and sauces for purchase. What isn't there to love about this authentic Italian Deli. I had the Clemente Special with LTO, Mayo & Vinegar and every bite was heavenly. I can't imagine anything else being less than amazing. It's tucked away in the industrial parts of Hackensack, but well worth the trip. I can't wait to come back. read more

When you first walk into Clemente you may be a little confused. The signage reads "Bakery" but it looks more like a cafeteria/deli. Don't let their looks fool you, Clemente is a full service bakery. You'll be able to judge the quality of their product when you order a sandwich. While the cold cuts may be outsourced, their bread is made in-house. And it's the quality of their baked goods that will bring you back. My reason for frequenting here is the quality of their cappuchino. It's perfect. If you're a fan of Lavazza, then you'll feel at home here. Parking will be difficult during busier hours. Don't make the mistake of parking in adjacent lots, your car may not be there when you come back out. Or worse yet, you may be met with an irate manager or warehouse owner. Street parking is further up the block. But the walk is worth it... read more

Nice big sandwiches for a good price. The home-made mozzarella is excellent; and they put in twice as much than other delis. read more

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

We were heading from NYC to Saugerties in upstate for a wedding and picked this place because of its easy access from the highway. We were a bit worried when we found ourselves in an industrial park, thinking we might be headed for a bakery without any retail storefront. Luckily when we found it we discovered that their storefront was big huge and awesome. They have a deli, a pizza station, an olive bar, a pastry station and lots of authentic italian gourmet items for sale on the shelves. They also make breakfast sandwiches that that is exactly what we wanted. My sandwich was a bit over salted, but they ask you if you want salt, pepper, and ketchup, so just tell them no salt and add it to your own liking. We also got some pastries. One was a lemon flavored dough pocket with ricotta cheese inside sprinkled with sugar. That was good. The best things were the fried dumplings though. They tasted like home made doughnuts. This place was certainly an unexpected gem. Good for a quick meal any time of the day. read more

This is an awesome Italian bakery!!! They have amazing bread, cookies, and etc... The people working here are helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. I'd recommend them to everyone!!!! read more

This place is kinda in the middle of nowhere but damn is it good. I stopped by for the Clemente Special and fell in love. Everything from the bread they use, the stacks of meat they put in and the fresh mozz is perfection. I can't wait to go back to try more of their things. It's a pretty random location but it's worth the hunt via Google maps! Luckily for me it's near my place so I'll definitely be back! read more

Good but on the expensive side. The place is worth trying for the typical pugliese focaccia. Service is odd, the girls serving look they are always pissed. read more

Their baked breads are awesome. Which is what you get on any sandwich. Hot menu changes daily, so call ahead. I'm here at least once a week for lunch. I haven't been disappointed so far. Some of things I or colleagues have tried: lasagna, prosciutto sandwich, breakfast, penne & vodka, various sandwiches. read more
