I would give this place a 0/5 star if possible. I stood at the front of the bakery for over 10 minutes and none of the workers tried to help me. They were all too preoccupied with busy work behind the counter to even respond. The last straw was the fact that they started helping the people after me and still ignored me. Needless to say I will not be returning here as they seem to care more about making the food and doing their busy work rather than attending to their customers. They also do not have wifi so dont expect to come here to study/do work. read more

Great bakery and Cafe. I haven't had Baklava this good, even in Istanbul. Simits (Turkish bagel) and pides are also great.

Hi Everyone, I used to hear negative comments about TASKIN BAKERY regarding customer service but I think I was lucky to meet with MUSTAFA. He is a very polite and kind person and also He was a very professional and patient person to help us. This kind of customer service makes customer happy therefore I wanted to leave 5 for MUSTAFA. Thank you read more

The bread here is insanely good. We were a fan when it was just a basic bakery that only the locals and stores knew about. It was a hidden gem (ironically the other hidden gem in the area, Toros, is across the street). They redid the place and all I can say is WOW is this place magical. If you are reading this and considering going, just go. It is worth it. Just smell the bread. So good. I don't know how to leave there without a ton of bread. read more

We make the drive from NYC to this bakery about once every two months and stock up on ALL the baked goods, as well as, the sweets. The breads and foods are all made on premise by real people who know and understand the food! We are Turkish and love this place as it is the only place that serves every single thing your imagination could want or think of. In addition, the service is attentive and professional. We always buy something to eat and have a cup of tea after we make our purchases in their beautiful cafe, with fireplace and bookshelves etc. Lovely place! read more

Amazing Turkish bakery with a beautifully designed cafe area to sit and eat. Bakery is clean and spacious with nice big windows. They even have a comfy sofa and a dining table for a large group. Bakery is open 24/7 and all of the baked goods are freshly made on the premises! They have a huge assortment of baked goods, including pide, flat breads, baklava, cookies, borek and various kinds of gozleme. In my opinion, they have the best breads in Paterson. read more

Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. My first visit to Taskin Bakery to try their famed Baklava sparked an internal struggle. I had made the journey all the way to Paterson NJ but paused upon reaching the storefront. It was obvious that their target clientele was restaurants and ethnic general stores as dozens of packages of Pide, flower bread, round bread, breakfast goods like Simit (Turkish bagel), Acme/Pohaca, and various kinds of Boreks (cheese, potato, spinach) were lying around. However, in one half of the room were various kinds of sweet and savory cookies, Baklava, Sekerpare, Kadaif, and a few other desserts. As I walked up to select the Baklava, I noticed that inside the display case was a fly, right on top of the tray, rubbing its legs with glee. I hesitated and decided instead to get a pre-packaged box. True to Psychology's dictate of "Suppress now, obsess later", I couldn't get the image out of my mind and didn't enjoy the Baklava as much, preferring the texture and flavor of the Sekerpare instead. But, it bothered me - for I had seen Purell dispensers around the retail storefront, and the helpful servers were wearing plastic gloves. Surely, one fly wasn't going to deter me from appreciating "the Best Baklava around" - as per Turks whose judgment couldn't be doubted. So, I made my way back - and was happy to find only two legged creatures between me and the Baklava. While I've never enjoyed any of their other baked goods on display - the Pistachio Baklava was a piece of art. As I sent the picture to a foodie friend she texted immediately: "Mmm!! Is it as good as it looks?" I responded back, "It's structurally perfect. Layers and layers of dough, some nuts, syrup... shatter of crisp dough, nice sound. Obviously fresh. " Seriously, the construction is just top notch. While you don't get hit in the eye with the syrup as is the case with most Greek versions of Baklava in the city, it's just amazing that as your teeth go through the layers n layers of dough, and nuts and reach the syrup - it hits the roof of your mouth. You couldn't even tell its presence till that last second. I wish they could do this consistently across all the versions of Baklava, but the Pistachio one is almost perfect. Not the best I've ever had (where the fork goes cleanly across all the layers for the entire piece and doesn't cause the roof of the baklava house to slide off its nutty inhabitants or the basement to be flooded), but definitely my favorite Baklava around.... Oh, and Open 24 hours :) read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The service here is terrible. You never get treated right. I come in to get some bread and sweets sometimes. They give you attitude when you take your time. One of the workers whom I was trying to help put my stuff in a bag snatched the stuff out of my hand and threw my change on the counter. No one knows manners here its so bad. If you don't like your job , you should quit read more

I had my first visit today, and Taskin delivered. The walnut and pistachio baklava are outrageous, the Turkish 'pizza' had a ton of flavor, and the flatbread is really good. And everything is dirt cheap, and the New Corral Texas Weiner spot is across the street! read more

Turkish delights! Their Turkish bread and confections are awesome. It is always fresh and most of the time, still warm from the oven. Stocked up on their bread today. No fat, sugar etc. their white bread sliced loaves are only 28 calories per slice! Backlava is the best in NJ. They have it 5 different ways, all dripping with honey. They have kinds of other great Turkish breads and treats. It is open 24 hours a day. It is a serious bakery and I am sure they supply a good deal of restaurants in north jersey. read more

Was really looking forward to the sourdough bread. Its hard and old. Even after toasting, its stale. Too bad since their other stuff was good and fresh. read more

I got simit and achma from this place and let me tell it's the best Turkish bakery in NJ! The owner was very nice and polite. Employees were super nice. They helped us to find everything we were looking for. read more

Open 24 hours! The pida bread is exquisite-- it is not PITA bread like you get in the supermarket but a much larger and more tender/ chewey bread. Great with cheese. read more

Very clean bakery,their products are always fresh and prices are affordable.my favourite is baklava and pide bread

When a favorite local Mediterranean restaurant closed some years ago, we went looking for where they sourced their delicious pide. We found it at Taskin and have enjoyed Taskin Turkish baked goods ever since. Beside pide, We love their borek...spinach and cheese is our favorite ... and often get a sweet dessert. Visits during pandemic as good as usual. No seating at last visit. Few retail specialty bakeries left, Taskin among the best. read more

Their service level would get the gold medal by far if there was a "worst food service competition" around the world. Think twice and stay away from this business since they promise to serve in 5 mins but it takes 30 minutes beside I had to ask 4 times, worse than that is they still call you to pickup the food regardless of the shame they did. Since its just normal to them. Moreover, no wifi no cellphone reception just like there is no humanity. Last but not least, I was talking to the manager about my complaint, I said, listen, I ll either review you guys on google or you will listen to me now since you guys ruined my day, he said okay i will be right with you but never stop by in the next 30 minutes. Wtf? Hope you guys go out of the business ASAP since its not my first complaint! read more

This was my first time in this bakery. My experience was worth sharing. I m a huge fan of Baklava, if you are in the mood for fresh, plenty of pistachios on baklava, then this is the spot for you. I also got Spinach/cheese borek- wish it had more stuffing in it on. It was a little empty inside, and dough outside tasted a little oily for a Borek. Overall, the bakery is super clean, everything was well organized and they have a cute little spot to hang out. I will try other things next time !! read more

Wait till you see this place. Great selection. Make sure you look at the menu board on the back wall. The selections can be overwhelming.

In America, bakeries are one of the most underutilized places to grab a great meal, snack, or dessert. But bakeries with savory items (usually 'ethnic' places like this one) make them perfect for cheap, delicious take-out. And the often-disappointing dessert fare at restaurants meant to placate diners who need only a spoonful to satisfy their sweet tooth keep even more from finding the local bakery that makes a perfect pastry for a few bucks less than another crappy chocolate lava cake. THIS IS THAT BAKERY. Try the: -Cheese-filled borek (chewy/crispy/cheesy/salty in the good way) -Sweet bread with sesame paste (inexplicably amazing despite not liking tahini or halva that much) -Gozleme (like a Turkish quesadilla...tasty, if a bit salty) -Simit (Turkish bagel...try it with honey or jam and butter) read more

I try to get to Taskin's regularly. Since I changed jobs it has meant making a special trip. Today I had to go to Union City so I detoured to Taskin's. The bread is the kind that's crispy outside and soft an chewy on the inside but not dense. Make sure you get the package of 4 round loaves as well as the 2 foot long flatbread. They also have cheese, spinach and meat filled breads and rolls that are perfect for breakfast or lunch. The bakery has both halal and kosher certifications, but read the ingredients for yourself. The expanded facility has more to offer than the small, single counter used to. I saw numerous sweets in the counters today but I usually hop over to Main Street in Paterson when looking for baklava. Prices are so reasonable, but parking is awful. Take advantage of their 24/7 hours and enjoy! read more

The staff is so nice and the baklava was so good! We were totally new to a Turkish bakery so wish I did some homework before but everything was good! read more

Life is too short, so we owe ourselves the experience. I recommend the coffee with Turkish delight and a baklava.

Nope!! Not for me !! Un kurabiye had a weird taste simit's were ok not really simit but more like "acma" baklava was ok until i saw a piece of hair in it!! Yikes!!! I was hoping to like this place but no , thanks read more

One word "DELICIOUS". Place makes your mouth water with the aromas of bread. Found this ave with the help of my sister. I bought flat bread and some kind of wonderful pastry. Also bought Turkish bread and a spinach cheese filled bread. Omg so good. Just gain a few pounds. Lol. read more

Taskin Bakery - Entrance - Bakeries Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

HORRIBLE customer service. Today I went in to get a mini cake since my daughter wanted one. They have this mini cafe looking new look. I was on line to order my cake the cashier kept taking the old ladies that were behind me. I let it slide for the first one but the second one I FLIPED OUT! and when I said " do I look invisible to you ?" The employee rolled her eyes and said fine your next. The girls can barley speak English They are obnoxious and RUDE AND HAVE A NASTY UGLY PERSONALITY. They need a staff makeover that's for sure read more

I liked this place more when it was a simple bakery shop. Now with seating (self service), I didn't like it that much but will give another try later on. The sweets (eclair etc) are average. There was tiny pistachio shell in the eclair. The börek/pogaca/gözleme is also. The only good iş simit. Also you pay as soon as pickup your food. And there is $15 minimum for credit cards at the register. So if you want to buy a water or tea later on , you can't pay with card and since they don't open tab you don't have the chance of paying altogether at the end. Lastly, we needed a plastic container to take out left food, it took 10 mins to get a container. read more

Horrible! I went on two separate occassions. The first time i got what they call borek with spinach that they sell 4 in a package supposedly fresh! But NO it was hard as a rock when i brought it home to eat. And tonight we brought cake for our 2 year old because she wanted some and NOPE to my horrible surprise the cake was hard as a rock too! This place opened their cafe newly how is cake hard as a rock no quality ive had better cake from shoprite. BEWARE THEY ARE CHEAP LIARS WHO SELL STALE PRODUCTS I WILL NEVER GO BACK Because when you tell them its stale their response is thats impossible they are a horrible place! read more

Such a authentic bakery like back in Turkey. I love it but owner doesn't hire enough ppl to work behind the counter. Each time I go there I wait at least 15 min so I stopped shopping here. What a shame... I guess owner doesn't care about his business and their customers cus they are busy always... read more

It is like a bakery in a city in Turkey. So I really thank to the owner because he established such a good place for the people of Turkey and for all others who live in Usa. A wide variety of bakery items. We got simit,borek and kiymali pide. All were so delicious. The staff was also very attentive and helpful. We got so many items to take home in DC. Highly recommended for everyone. You will be addicted :) read more
