Smithville bakery is so charming. When you walk in, it is always smelling delicious. I love to see the different baked goods offered on the daily. Everything is delicious and the sit down breakfast is good too. read more

So disappointed. We walked by earlier in the afternoon and the place smelled amazing, we made a note to come back on our way out. We stopped by around 3:45pm and they had plenty of items left. We got 2 small sugar cookies, 2 small chocolate chip cookies, 1 butter cookie, 1 decorated sugar cookie, and 1 house made unsweetened iced tea. The prices weren't bad, all of that was $16-17. The iced tea was horrible. I normally only drink unsweetened tea, so I am used to it... but I didn't even finish this. It tasted as if tea bags had sat in the water way too long and was so bitter. The cookies were all varying degrees of bad. The sugar cookie was so dry and hard, I tried to bite it and it crumbled all over the front of me and my car. The taste was also just absent. It didn't taste like anything at all. The butter cookie had a great texture, but again, absolutely zero taste of anything at all. The chocolate chip cookie was also incredibly dry, but had a little bit of flavor from the chocolate chips at least. I did not even try the decorated cookie, the rest were so bad. read more

Today I bought a gingerbread cookie (singular for 6.95) a snickerdoodle and a linzer tart for a grand total of 12.95 Everything smelled and looked great upon walking into the bakery and I had high hopes. The 6.95 gingerbread cookie was so hard it was inedible and I sampled it only a moment after leaving the bakery. The snickerdoodle was just okay no true cinnamon flavor. The linzer tart cookie tasted good but the jam definitely was not fresh. I'm happy I didn't waste money on a whole pie. read more

I truly enjoyed all of their pastries. I only wish they were closer to my home. I'll definitely be stopping every time i pass through Atlantic City. read more

Only gave 2 stars because their actual food is not bad. The bakery portion is horrible however. It is in the name, 'bakery', so you would think the bakery items would taste amazing. I am extremely disappointed and we will not be coming back. Close off your pastries so they are not getting hard and stale so fast. Also the girls behind the desk are young and full of attitude. Everything is very dry! Do not recommend. read more

Smithville Bakery is a wonderful place for fresh baked goods as well as a place to have a tasty sit down breakfast. We arrived for breakfast and waited about 10 minutes for a table on a rainy Thursday morning. The whole place smells great so we were certainly prepared for a nice meal. Our server Courtney was fast efficient and friendly. We started with coffee which was refilled without being asked. I had one of the daily specials, which was a Pork Roll, tomato, and mushroom omelette with cheddar cheese. Absolutely delicious. Came with home fries and cinnamon raisin toast. These were delicious as well. This place is about as quaint as they come. It's like going back in time. read more

Walking in maids your immediately immersed in visual and culinary delights. From the long row of glass refrigerated pastry displays, a view of some of the baking going on and some of the original brick from this very historic building(see photo for a brief history). The walls are nicely decorated with remnants of its past many antiques such as an old mechanical teller machine, holiday decorations, antique Knick knacks and cooking tools etc. the pastries are delicious and I can say after eating breakfast I was totally satisfied with a fresh meal down to the in house made bread for toast etc. a special thanks to our waitress joy she was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend you check this place out ! read more

Homemade baked goods are always a smile-producer when baked to perfection and offered at a very reasonable price but to me I never think about baked goods when I think about the Smithville Bakery! Ok, I know that sounds strange, but I am pretty sure that the "Bakery" has been in business since before we purchased a home in Smithville decades ago. Longevity is truly a mark of success but to me what matters most is that the Smithville Bakery continues to provide comforting, delicious, and affordable breakfasts. Yes, when anyone suggests going to "The Bakery" it's all about breakfast. Yes, the fact that the toast is homemade matters but also what matters is that "Cheers" like feeling you get from the wait staff. It seems that everyone working at "The Bakery" knows who you are. And, frequently when you are at "The Bakery" you will see someone you know (Alright, that matters for locals but if you are visiting that "hometown" familiarity only sends off good vibes not exclusivity.). Always check the special board because some very nice surprises can be discovered there. The regular menu offers the choices you need to have a good breakfast before walking around the "Village of Smithville's" eclectic group of shops. The coffee keeps coming ... the conversation is good ... and yes, when checking out you just might be tempted to purchase some baked goods because after all this is the 'Smithville Bakery!' read more

The only thing I've gotten has been their baked goods - the bread is always good and the pies are a great addition to any meal. The cookies are a bit too sweet for my tastes but people seem to like them. read more

The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. The service was great considering it was very busy. I usually don't go anywhere on a Saturday in the summer due to the tourist packing place. I love the small country feel and decor . My waitress was a rockstar.!! I give this place a five star rating . read more

We arrived at the adorable Historic Smithville at 9:30 am on a Monday, which was sadly before most of the shops and restaurants were open.  Thankfully, we saw that the Smithville Bakery was serving breakfast, and do not let the name fool you, the place was much more than your standard bakery.  While there were display cases full of pastries in the front of the space, there was also a decently-sized, diner-like room just beyond that, which was full of tables.  The décor was actually made up of antique and historical items from the town and the surrounding area, which made the space like a small museum.   The restaurant was packed, but we were still able to get a table after only a five minute wait.  Our gracious server was a pleasure and really fit the homestyle vibe.  Their coffee was bold and flavorful.  My Egg White Vegetable Omelet was perfect!  It was not greasy and included some of my favorite vegetables, such as mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes.  It was served with crisp, seasoned home fries and house-made raisin, whole wheat toast.  It was such a satisfying breakfast!  So satisfying, in fact, that I was able to escape the bakery without indulging in any of their giant, decadent sweets as I left.   The Smithville Bakery offered delicious food cooked from the heart and an environment just as touching. read more

Classic bakery setting serving up old school delights. Parking was easy around 10a on a Friday morning & inside wasn't too crowded. We ordered the sfogliatella, walnut & raisin sticky bun, and lemon blueberry sticky bun. The walnut & raisin was dry; the lemon & blueberry seemed not fully baked. Both were dissapointing. The sfogliatella was perfect & made up for the other 2 items lacking a bit. This dessert takes a long time to make so it was nice to see it on the menu! If you've never had one - Sfogliatella means "small, thin leaf/layer", as the pastry's texture resembles stacked leaves. Crunchy on the outside, soft & creamy on the inside. I'd go back if the buns were fresher & made fresh. read more

Nice,cozy, and the food is fresh and delicious. Great family experience for a quick trip to the area.

Day olds are generally not the best, that's why they are discounted, but I didn't expect mold to be on the day old bagels, disgusting.

We haven't been here since the "Plague". It's great for baked goods and breakfast. I have to say nothing has changed. The staff is still cool and the food is still really good. Some of the best hashbrowns I've ever had and the bacon is perfect. read more

This place sucks, 0 stars. Staff overwhelmed by even just a handful of patrons and has no idea how to manage their own business. They could have 1 customer and they still wouldn't know who to serve first. What time are they open to? Who knows. The signage is misleading because no matter when you come in they treat you like an inconvenience and a problem. Unbelievably snippy and rude. You endure all this just to get the most bland, mediocre food possible. I wouldn't go here again if it were free. No reason to when there are countless bakeries and breakfast places in the area that make amazing food and are happy to have you there. Never again. read more

This is the second year in a row that I've been unhappy here. We visit Smithville every year but I think this is the last time we will come here. The service is always rude. If you are open til 5 and I come in at 3 don't complain that you already cleaned up and ask us to not make a mess. If we came in at closing I'd get it. But many came in after us. I'm sorry we bothered you, "H." I don't know if we will be back read more

Food.. Ambiance.. And staff and service are amazing.!! The best baked goods in South Jersey.

Small, cute and quaint. Be prepared to be there for a while. Small portions good Experience at least once in your life. read more

I went here on a Saturday morning with my girlfriend. We have gone here in the past, but this was my first time in awhile for breakfast. I ordered the bacon omelet with pepper Jack Cheese, Home Fries, Toast and Coffee. Overall, the meal was really good! I would say that the omelet was really cheesy to my liking, personally. The service was really good as well! Overall, I would recommend coming here for breakfast! They also have some nice baked goods, which are very good too. read more

We bought an apple pie today. Unfortunately , the crust was not baked. The pie tasted like salt. Very disappointed.

Love this place for breakfast! Their baked goods are amazing, so is the French toast and omelettes! The staff is amazing! It's a definite stop when I am down in this area. read more

A little bit of a wait as they were really busy. Employees working hard!! Bacon and cheese omelet was okay. Instead of cheese being melted inside, it was just placed on top. Potatoes were great as was the raisen wheat bread! Overall, very good! read more

I love this bakery! The pastries are freshly made everyday and their coffee is smooth and refreshing. The spinach croissant was very good and the big oatmeal raisin cookie was such a treat! I hardly eat oatmeal raisin cookies, but I was surprised with how good it tasted. Chewy, but just made right. Sweet, but not overwhelming. I will surely come back here on my next visit to Smithville. read more

Fresh baked goods are my weakness in Smithville offers a variety of things that you hardly see from time to time in other bakeries.

We often go to Cape May and this is a standard stop. Actually sets the standard. Seems like it is always busy (around breakfast time mornings) and there always a short line for seating that moves pretty fast. It's just breakfast from A to Z but on your way out, pick up some baked goods (for later). read more

A friend wanted to buy some pie there so we decided to have breakfast as well. The place smells awesome but $20 for a overcooked omelette and weak coffee. Really glad I didn't buy any pastry. read more

We stopped here to pick up a few treats for later and decided on some oatmeal raisin cookies, almond cookies, cupcakes and tarts. It was crowded with no sense of rhyme or reason as to who gets served first ~ and be prepared to wait. The chocolate cupcakes are very pretty...but lacked that intense chocolate taste it promised with an icing too sweet to finish...but it was pretty. The cookies were hard and disappointing. There was a decent selection of goods, and perhaps the other options would have been better choices, but I don't think I would visit again. read more

Fresh food very cute setting. Service is always good. Servers are very accommodating. Place is clean.

This is a busy little place. We visited 9/9/22 on a Friday. It's in the center of the Smithville village of shops and was the only place open before 10:00. They have a nice variety of items, but my almond pastry didn't taste fresh. It would have been better if baked that day, instead it was quite sticky. The outside tables could use a bit more attention, as chairs and tables were covered in bird turds. read more

Atmosphere is nice, service sucked!! Waited 15 minutes for the actually waitress.. by the time the waitress came we had all finished our coffee, she not only did not notice the empty cups but never asked if we needed a refill. You would think I was wrong if I did not leave a tip! Waitresses don't have to be friend -- let's keep in mind the tip is based on your service! The bus lady, was very helpful & did her job well! I tipped her... On to the food: Bakery Slam Pancakes had NO taste and were very hard! sausage (the best!!) eggs ok! Farmers Breakfast was just ok Good ole Boy - pretty good 2Eggs -- bacon salty, potatoes good, rye bread no favor, eggs ok & the OJ was very watery... lol We were just here last week & everything was go read more

I have been ordering dinner rolls for Easter for 30 years now. I totally believe to shop local. This year the price was $14 for 1 1/2 dozen, and they were stale. Very disappointed in many ways. There prices are outrageous and not fresh anymore. read more

Food is decent and priced fairly. Tends to draw a crowd mid day. Has become my breakfast go-to. 100% recommend. read more

Don't bother. After waiting 20 minutes to be seated, some lady behind the counter yells out to a young girl "DONT SIT ANYMORE WE ARE BEHIND IN ORDERS!" Tons of staff here and they still can't handle a small group of people. When we left 4 tables were open, not including the ones on the outside. read more

This is a restaurant with friendly competent wait staff in a very homey atmosphere. The weakness is in the food. The menu is limited. I have found the egg dishes satisfactory but the French toast pretty bad. It was not adequately soaked in an egg mix resulting in a piece of bread with an fried egg surface and a very dry inside. I had to soak it in syrup and couldn't even it all of it. I told the waitress and she said she would tell the chef. They did not make any adjustment to the check. So it can be a very nice place to go but stay away from the French Toast. read more

Smithville...SMITHVILLE!!! Let me keep this short and sweet. Good food, good people, good prices! Everything that we ate (and we ate a lot), and everyone that we encountered (staff to restaurant patrons), was great! The peach pie is the freshest, most delicious peach pie I've ever experienced! Who knew peaches could taste that good?!?? Definite must visit if you're in the area! read more

With only 1 visit I may have to go to 4 stars with more experience. But coming in here late in the day we didn't see much to tempt us. We did get a salted caramel sugar cookie to go with our hot beverages, but it was merely ok. That being said there are reasons why I would return, first of all it's a very cute shop with a nice seating area with a view of the lake, but that section was closed off since it was near closing time. The bear claws looked incredible, huge and enticing, but way more than we cared to indulge in. They also offer a section of day old treats priced very reasonably, still regret not getting any of those. The pies and gingerbread houses looked great also, and didn't seem to be too expensive. In the future I would stop here in the morning to try something fresh, and not after eating a large lunch. 3.75 strategic eating Yelps read more
