First, the good part: the baked goods at Ferrara's are some of the best on the island. I've never…read morebought anything there that wasn't fresh and delicious. Their prices are reasonable, too. Five Stars for quality. Now, the not so good part: the service is terrible. On multiple occasions, I've asked for something only to find when I get home and open the box that I was given the wrong thing. It happened today. I asked for two sticky rolls with pecans and I was given two with walnuts. The person who seems to make the most mistakes is the older lady who works there (whom I suspect is the owner, as all the other employees defer to her). She always looks stressed and out-of-sorts. My other complaint is that they aren't customer friendly. Last year toward the end of the summer, a friend gave me a gift certificate from Ferrara's that was supposedly good to the end of October 1st when they close for the year. When we went to use it in September, our last visit of the season to the island, we found the store closed for a week for some family event. When I explained what had happened after they reopened this year and asked if they would still honor the certificate, the grumpy lady said "no" because they had already "closed the books" for the previous year. For crying out loud, it was $20 coupon and I was a regular customer (emphasis on "was"). Despite the excellent baked goods, I prefer to give my business to bakeries that treat me well. Hence, I now buy most of my baked goods elsewhere, including at Big Apple Bakery on E. Bay Avenue in Manahawkin (next to the Acme Supermarket). Their stuff is just as good as Ferrara's and they have a larger selection. One Star for service. Five Stars plus One Star divided by two is Three Stars overall.

Where's the 10 stars button? I had a last minute birthday to plan. And in less than 36 hours,…read morethese guys made the most beautiful custom cake based on an intricate design. I wasn't expecting it to be exact to the picture and told them to do their best. I mean it takes time. Their decorators were flawless. It was stunning. Huge props! Now onto taste. The yellow cake was moist and delicious. Their American Buttercream was light and sweet and held up in 90 degree heat for hours. Lastly, price. In my opinion, i was undercharged. The quality and craftsmanship (not to mention last minute with no late charge!) were well above what i paid for a 3 layer cake. My advice. You'd be a fool to go anywhere else.

I had a nice young man today. He took very good care of me. I think people who come to our island and expect five star service and then want to complain about the price should just stay home.

I love their sandwiches, always good and they jam pack their fresh ingredients. Their fruits and veggies are always fresh and tasty. I got some cherries today and they were beautiful - all of them ripe and firm, not a soft cherry in sight. They were a great treat today. I also snagged some jersey blueberries. Their bakery is also very impressive. They have a great selection of fresh muffins - today I got a banana chocolate chip. They've got donuts, brownies and from what I hear - delicious pies. You can also grab any snacks you need - there's tons of chips and gourmet crackers. I also got a small container of their veggie cream cheese and it's absolutely delicious. I definitely always make a stop here whenever I'm on the island.

The market section itself is great, a fair amount of selections, and all seem to be pretty fresh. The bakery section displayed a number of pastries that looked really good (but I didn't try). However, the coffee missed the mark for me. I got an iced americano and it was pretty bitter/had a burnt flavor. I probably won't return for the coffee but will def visit again for the market and bakery.

I stopped by around 11am and quickly realized they had absolutely nothing out. They really close at 11 and just sell leftovers till 12. They had a few donuts so I got some to try but not much to pick from at all. When I asked about lunch sandwiches that I heard people raving about, they told me after Covid they never reopened that part of the deli. So they said they could still make a breakfast sandwich. I passed on the offer but my boyfriend got a Taylor ham egg and cheese on a bagel. It was really sad to look at, not a good sandwich overall. Would've been better off at WaWa. The donuts were decent but I definitely have had better on the island. I can appreciate how fresh they are but that's about it. Overall the staff was nice and the donuts were fresh but with hours so limited and no sandwiches available, I probably won't be back.
