I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jed's Bread Kraft bakery at the Montclair farmers market, and I was impressed by the wide array of bread and pastry options available. My only minor concern, which led to a slight reduction in my rating, pertains to the handling of cash and credit card transactions in relation to food safety. I am unsure if gloves are being changed between these transactions, especially when handling freshly baked items. It would be greatly appreciated if glove changes could be implemented between handling money and food items, particularly for products from their in-house bakery.
During my visit to their in-house bakery, I purchased cardamom buns and Challah bread. Fortunately, my items were pre-packaged.
