Today my boyfriend and I decided to try a new bakery since our go-to is Julius. We drove around and came across Judicke's Bakery. The bakery itself has an old-fashioned charm and a nice variety of cakes, pastries, cookies by the pound, donuts, and cake pops, which initially seemed promising. We bought two Valentine's Day cake pops, one large Linzer tart cookie, one Oreo cake slice, one strawberry shortcake slice, and one carrot cake yule log slice. Unfortunately, every single item tasted stale and hard, and had a strange refrigerator taste. Nothing tasted fresh, and it was a big letdown considering how good everything looked. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend this bakery based on our experience. read more

I found this spot is hit or miss. Sometimes the pastries/cookies/cupcakes are delicious and fresh and other times they are not. Always seems clean and service is always friendly. Parking can be hard in the area. read more

Good service and good desserts! Judickes has been around for a while and is a good place to get local deserts for functions, events or gatherings , etc! Fast service and good prices. Parking isn't the greatest but it's manageable. Recommend. read more

On a trip to Bayonne strolling down memory lane, stopped in here for a donut. My partner got a jelly filled, which they enjoyed. (They are not from Bayonne, and don't have memories of Judicke's from the 1970s and 80s). I got two sprinkled donuts ($1.50 each), figuring the first would be so delicious that I would crave a second. I ate the first one and found the chocolate coating to be unimpressive and the cake to be too doughy. I threw the second donut away. I went to Dunkin a day later and got a sprinkled donut there. I've never been a huge fan of Dunkin, but the cake was soft and the chocolate taste was vivid. All in all, a disappointment. I guess you can't go home again. read more

Judicke's Bakery - Sprinkled Donut. Looks decent, but doughy and unimpressive chocolate flavor. - Bakeries Near Me - Bayonne, New Jersey

Came here got cookies with sprinkles on them and a chocolate cream donut, like a Boston cream. The donut was so flavorful and the chocolate on top was delicious, the inside cream was plentiful and not too sweet. The cookies where so fresh and where melt in your mouth goodness. They had so much chocolate on them and where delicious. Unfortunately came back 4 days later for the same order and everything was stale and dry. And the cookies tasted completely different. If this place was consistently good it would be the most amazing thing especially when they charge $24 for a pound of cookies read more

Judicke's Bakery - Boston cream. Lots of cream!! When donut was fresh - Bakeries Near Me - Bayonne, New Jersey

They have cute cookies and cupcake decorations but my fave thing to get are the chocolate sprinkle donuts! I stop by every once in a while when I have a sugar craving and I think this place is a heck lot better than Dunkin or Starbucks :) Supporting local businesses is important in a small town!! Maybe next time I'll try something new like a cupcake or their cute hello kitty icing cookie! Overall, this bakery has a little something for everyone and it's a great stop for when you need a quick and convenient gift. read more

Was in the mood for tiramisu so we came here last. Yuck! Idk what they call that but it was NOT tiramisu. We bought 2 but i could hardly finish eating the first one. Should've followed my mind and picked up the tiramisu from Costco. My husband had the blueberry cheesecake- he wasn't impressed either. read more

The Mini CheeseCakes was DELICIOUS, Mouth Watery, Flavorful, and Beautifully Crafted. I went around 4:40pm on a Thursday, so it wasn't packed. The service was 10/10! The lady gave us suggestions , which were AMAZING. I highly recommend read more

Judickes is one of those places where the cupcakes look better than they taste. The cupcakes had nice decorations I will give them that but the taste was lacking. The frosting tasted like pure sugar and butter. The cake part of the cupcake was ok but nothing spectacular. They all tasted the same too. They did have cool designs so bonus points there. Not the biggest fan of these cupcakes but maybe I will come back to try something else. read more

After a bad experience months ago I decided to give them another chance. It was worse this time. Brownies were dry. Like a dried up sponge. Cupcakes were tasteless. Lard frosting. All discarded They are using cheap ingredients and they don't have someone who knows how to bake. I don't like being harsh to a business but they need to improve or go under. read more

Have you ever had a cookie that brought a tear to your eye? I stopped in here on my east coast thanksgiving travel. The sign has changed. The brown and green paneling from decades ago is a comforting sight, though awash in sterile white leds; a sign we are in 2021. The staff remain friendly and helpful. My grandmother used to bring these cookies to every occasion and I wanted to share that joy with my new extended family. An intense wave of nostalgia washed over me as the sprinkled shortbread cookie melted on my tongue. The delicate texture and buttery smooth flavor brought me back to memories of my grandmother slipping me a white Judicke's box with its gold sticker, wrapped in red and white twine. Tastes like home. Hope to see you again soon. read more

Best cake ever and the bread is delicious. The staff is sweet and helpful. The vibe of the place is fun. read more

Been coming here for the donuts but picked up a small cake and was so disappointed pistachio bday cake artificial and inedible we threw it out read more

Disappointed. Very. Place needs to be updated, it looks dirty and smells like an old wet rag. Looks and feels drab. Cookies were awful! No flavor. Dry. Cheesecake was bland. Cupcakes basic. Cake pops were ok but too much hard frosting/outer coating. So sad this place isn't good anymore. Pricey for no quality. Will not return. read more

I was in there today, around noon...a tall girl helped me. It was a simple order, 12 multi colored sprinkled donuts...a few cupcakes, and 2 mini cheesecakes. She wasn't the most customer service oriented person...I asked if the cupcakes were secure in the box...if there was more room, I told her I'd buy more. She said they were ok. As she rang me up, I could see the box that contained the cupcakes were hanging off the counter (although in the bag)...I said something and she didn't acknowledge me. After giving me my card back, I asked for a receipt. She gave me one. When I got home I looked at the receipt and it wasn't mine...totally different! I needed the receipt to submit to someone! I spent $30 ...the receipt was for a cash transaction...$5. And when I opened the donut box, she gave me 11 multi sprinkled AND 1 blue sprinkled donut. Seems it didn't matter to her, BUT I needed all the same colored donuts....judickies certainly has changed...but to have someone like this young girl working there....? Very disappointed... read more

The only items that have been able to moderately maintain quality since changing hands several years ago are the sprinkle cookies and donuts. Cakes, cupcakes, brownies and nearly every other item in the shop are consistently dry and/or stale. There is a certain nostalgia connected to the sprinkle donuts which keeps me coming in for them around the holidays/birthdays/bbqs BUT everything else in this once very good bakery is seriously lacking. Very unfortunate. My sincere hope is that the owners make a commitment to quality and turn things around. read more

Went here for the first time since I heard about it years ago, just a lovely place with nice people working here. I lost my photos for the place but to summarize, great donuts, solid service, and endless baked goods in a classic counter-style bakery. read more

Sprinkle cookies and sprinkle donut nostalgia, great local bakery that I always crave when I'm in town. Great stop for gifts for family or friends or company meeting as well. They have a selection of nicely wrapped assorted baked items ready to grab and go. read more

Living in Bayonne, Judickie's Bakery is a landmark. Everyone comes here for their delicious donuts and sprinkle cookies. Both of these items are the best in town. They all make plenty of other delicious things, such as their cupcakes. The donuts are my favorite, as I always like to bring them to someone's party, especially if the party is out of town. To show off something classic from Bayonne. read more

I brought over 136.00 of pastries and cake for my bosses birthday to find out the bottom of the cake was molded. I called them and they wanted me to bring it back I also explained that the coffee cake was hard and nothing. This place is a part of the fabric of bayonne and what a shame . I asked for a full refund and they only gave me back the cost of the cake. I pray no one gets sick read more

We went here after seeing they were ranked in the top 30 donuts in the state. Donuts were ok, better than dunkin, but not particularly mind blowing. The got stale pretty quick, and the creme in the boston creme tasted like it was just about to sour. I did like the amount of jelly they got in the jelly donuts. I think the apple fritter was the best thing I tasted. Coffee cake was a brick the next day. Only buy what you want to eat that day from these guys. read more

Unacceptable!!! Went in to buy four Italian long bread. Once we got home I asked my girlfriend to cut the bread, she cut the first one and stared at it saying it had a cockroach, I laughed and told her to disregard it that it was probably a black poppy seed. She insisted that it was some type of insect so she went ahead and cut the second one. That was when I got grossed out at seeing the head and little antenas from this insect. We cut the third and fourth peace and once again found these insects on the bread. So now I'm thinking that if this insect was in all of my four pieces of bread then most likely the whole batch had to be infested with these insects. But then again the baker HAD!! to have seen these insects when he or she was making the dough. It all grosses me out and I will never buy from this bakery again. read more

This is not the Judicke's we grew up on. Those sprinkled donuts and cookies you would crave. Once the original family sold the place it's been stale donuts and cookies. The dream is over. read more

I wish I could have returned these bricks. I bought a variety of pastries like oreo cake slices, red velvet, fruit tarts and creme puffs. Wow were they stale! My guests took 1 bite...and commented they never tasted pastries like this. I was soooo embarassed. When I tasted it...the top layer was like cookies hard and the icing/filling was disgusting. They had a stale taste too! Never ever ever going there if it was the last bakery on earth. Shoprite makes way fresher cakes and tastier too as a matter of fact. Credit to Shoprite. I'm angry I wasted decent money on this trash kibble. read more

I honestly don't care if everything else in this bakery disappeared ... their donuts are my favorite donuts anywhere. I grew up having kids brining them in to grade school for their birthday and idc what anyone says 18 years later they taste the same as o remember. I would give them 5 but wouldn't be fair because I only eat their donuts. If it was just the donuts it would be 5 star. Good old fashioned donuts dipped in chocolate ganache and topped with sprinkles... so plain but so amazing. I love this place and get a dozen every-time I pass through the city. read more

Recieved poor customer service the other day while picking up a cake. Also the last time I got a donut from them it was stale. Too bad because I use to really love their donuts but they fell off over the years. read more

Sadly, Judicki's is no longer the bakery it once was. Have the owners changed. I have had to throw away St. Joseph Pastry, it was inedible. On a visit a couple months ago the Cupcakes were stale so I had to throw them away. The rye bread is the only item we've purchased here lately that has been good. A shame. lol read more

I had a sweet tooth today and stop in to get so cake slices. So disappointed the cake is not fresh . i got 4 different kind and all them my fork couldn't even go through the top layer of the cake . The cake part was hard and dry . Favoring is ok but cake needs to be fresh not hard . read more

December 2020, I stopped in early morning to buy six each of Boston Cream , Brownies and Jelly Donuts. They were all freshly made, very tasty and at good price. I made a mental note to order and buy my upcoming birthday cakes from Judickes....Feb 2021, I realized I made a BIG MISTAKE...The Carrot cake had more cream cheese filling and topping than the DRY 3/4" wide cake inside, and less than a few nuts and raisins. Also bought black and white ring cake, Icing OK but again DRY Cake.. I took off all the creme cheese from the carrot cake and used it to spread on bagles from Wonder Bagels, Danforth Ave Jersey City. I threw the rest of cake in the garbage and did same thing for the DRY Black & White Ring Cake. I will NOT patronize this bakery again. read more

Delicious assortment of pastries, sprinkle cookies, cakes, & breads. I have been here several times, to pick up a special dessert when going to someone's home, to get cupcakes or cookies for my kids, or just to pick up something nice for the girls in my office. Each time I have been pleased with the freshness, variety, and taste of whatever I ended up going home with (which is always more than what I initially came in for!). The girls at the counter are friendly & courteous & will answer your questions about any of the items displayed. Prices are reasonable given that this is a REAL bakery, with everything made on site. Go there, go hungry, and don't be on a diet when you do!! read more

I just want to say, this bakery has the best coffee I have ever had! The pastries and crumb cake are light and fluffy. The staff works hard making sure there customers are satisfied with there order! read more

I am a long time customer, the quality has significantly gone down and the customer service people are no longer nice and friendly but very obnoxious, condescending, and generally not nice, especially Meena read more

this bakery has the most authentic pastries I've had. I love going in and smelling all the fresh cakes and pastries, and may I say.. the customer service is amazing, which is why it would be a lie for someone to say it's bad *cough cough* read more

This rating is reflected on the obnoxious customer service. My family has frequently purchased and supported this bakery for many, many years. However, the counter help in particular an employee named Meena needs a lesson on how to speak to customers. It was appalling on her delivery in speaking to customers. I will be sharing my experience with everyone I know. I will no longer be patronizing this bakery because of how condescending and rude she was- I need to question if the owners are aware of how a lesson in customer service is desperately needed. read more

I don't think I've ever been to a family party in my life that didn't have Judicke's doughnuts. Every holiday, every color, I've had dozens of these over the years and don't plan on stopping! The strawberry shortcake is really good too - it's really light and tastes like a strawberry shortcake should. Everything here is great and everyone needs to stop here if you haven't yet! read more

The absolute best Boston Cream donuts on earth! I've been getting them since I was a kid. I moved out of Bayonne many years ago but when I visit family in Bayonne, I always have to go to Judicke's! Their powdered cream donuts are excellent too. And the best onion filled buttered rolls are a must! I miss my hometown a lot. My sons are like their old man, they love these Boston Cream donuts as much as I do! read more

A coworker brought some donuts and cookies for an office party. The donuts had the consistency of cake which is a step above Dunkin Donuts for sure. It actually reminded me of goods I can get from a nearby bakery called "DuBois Bakery" read more

I know everyone thinks this place is like a bakery Mecca, but I'm underwhelmed. Judicke's is most famous for their sprinkled donuts, and I agree that they are great. I also think they do a very good job on their cakes, and their sprinkled butter cookies are a treat. I am not impressed with their pastries, and feel that they are too greasy. The fruit danish lack full flavor, as if the fruit were generic canned fruit, and the breads aren't as good as those at the specialty Italian bakeries. All in all, a good place for birthday cakes, cookies and those sprinkled donuts, but not a favorite in other areas. read more
