My hand wasn't even off the door from entering before one girl ran to the counter and said can I help you. I said please give me a few minutes. There are a lot of things to choose from. Also the associates are not friendly at all and act annoyed, like you are bothering them. Zero personalities. Young girls I'd say all in their 20's. Second, the pastries all taste the same and were not fresh. You can tell a fresh pastry from one that's been sitting in the case for days. These ones I purchased were days old. This place is pricey; the items should be fresh. I stopped going to Caputo's years ago because they are also subpar. Long gone are the good bakeries.

Here in Lakewood Township, you will find this bakery in the Goldmont Center…read more Brand: 5/5 Hershy's Bakery is located in the Goldmont Center in Lakewood Township as a corner store. I do like the logo, for it uses as much of its simplicity as possible while maintaining a fancy posture. The sign has a noticeable presence in this shopping center as you walk around. Concerning the interior, I will say that the food itself adds to the brand. Website: 2/5 While the website does look decent, it is incomplete, therefore I cannot give it a favorable score. I do see the potential in terms of functionality and aesthetics, but the entire website contains sample text. It does have the vital information, such as contact information. It does say that it serves babka, peanut chew, cakes, and pastries, but it does not provide you with images of these products. Wait Time: 5/5 I did not have to wait for long to purchase my order. Ambiance: 3/5 On the outside, I could see this large corner store in the Goldmont Center that I could clearly imagine catering to many customers. Once I stepped inside, the ambiance felt quite underwhelming. I did not expect to find a small bakery with some of the goods still stacked in some of the noticeable racks, and no tables. Another problem was the lack of labels in the glass counters. It does maintain its cleanliness though. Food: 5/5 I tried four cinnamon rugelachs, and I will say that it was my satisfactory introduction to rugelachs. It had a more cinnamon taste and less bread taste, which helps balances these pastries. The establishment served baskets of rugelach in the open, and I will say that even then, they did not become hard or stale. They retained their fluffy forms and their cinnamon tastes. The website provides some of the menu items, while the Yelp menu has all the options available to you, such as challah bread, danishes, cookies, cakes, and donuts. Service: 5/5 The owner did not have an issue with informing you if you looking for a particular pastry. Worth The Money?: 3/5 The food reflects the brand in all its simplicity, for you will find many Jewish delicacies in this establishment. While it would help Hershy's Bakery's website to show specific images of the food, if I am to believe the awards cataloged in the About Us page, then it would help develop its credibility if ownership updated the entire website. Indeed, the font and the images already on the website already add to its ambiance. I will say that the food does add to the ambiance of the bakery. I would recommend adding labels to the foods. The ambiance made both the wait time and service tolerable. Would I say that Hershy's Bakery is worth it as a small business? Yes. As a place to frequent despite not being from Lakewood Township? Probably not. I can only consider this establishment a choice if I was traveling through Lakewood and happened upon the Goldmont Center. I will say that the owner did balance my order on a weight scale, giving it a fair price. So, I cannot complain. Rating: 4/5 Stars Needless to say, I will say that Hershy's Bakery is quite a good establishment overall. I got to introduce myself to rugelachs despite the limitations. Recommend To... Any other Gentiles who want to try kosher delicacies but do not know where to start, or are hesitate to bake them yourselves. I will tell you that Hershy's Bakery offers you a glimpse into Jewish cuisine with a fresh basket of rugelachs.

Everyone took maybe two bites before throwing it out, which was embarrassing and such a waste. When I reached out to the bakery, the response was more than unprofessional. The woman I spoke with on the phone- the mother of the owner, was aggressive rather than understanding, and instead of making it right, they only offered me a pathetic $15 store credit (which why would I use that after this horrible experience). After spending nearly $80, that doesn't feel like fair compensation at all. They also tried to insinuate that I was lying about the experience and quality of the cake. This was such a poor experience from both the product and the customer service side that I feel others should be aware before ordering. Their name Twisted Sisters suits them. I will never order from this bakery ever again.
