The Bread Stand 15 Newark Way, Maplewood, NJ 07040

"Loved the breads there. Great sandwiches. Pizza is good too. Service was a tad slow and forgot my coffee but overall loved the new ambience and atmosphere with the wooden modern feel. Good food for sure."

"I try to visit this place anytime I am in New Jersey. NYC quality bakery in NJ. That’s pretty hard to find in my experience. The price is right for how high quality everything is. Staff is always friendly, the place is always clean, and in the new location at Artie’s it was fun to see the place go from breakfast to lunch service and not feel rushed out. I’ll be back, I always am."

"We really love the almond croissants here in particular - The bread is flaky, buttery and it doesnt have that overpowering almond paste like some of the other bakeries have. The top also has that crunchiness that actually works! Its quite enjoyable to eat. Another item we usually get from here are their canneles! Mild crunch on the outside but soft and sweet inside! Cant just have one. Inside too is very cozy. It may feel a little tight during busy hours but nevertheless, still cozy. They open up the front “garage style windows” during warmer weathers and its a nice spot to chill. The lattes here are very good too so The Bread Stand can really be that coffee-and-croissant place. The pastries are of very good quality although for some reason i find that they have that over-baked kind of color coz they seem a little darker (but they are not over baked at all!). Staff are friendly, establishment is clean and location, although far from us, is great since its not a hectic area. And plus they have both street parking and a parking space just across that they share with an autoshop. Great spot indeed!"

"It’s always great to find a vegetarian breakfast spot with delicious offerings. The Bread Stand did not disappoint. Split two of there toast options. They were both delicious! The Stracciatella was my favorite with the creaminess of the cheese paired with the bite of salty and fresh basil! The fig jams fresh rosemary was delicious and not something I have had or ever thought to pair with a sweet toast. Washed it down with a strong bold flavored cappuccino to wrap this meal all up with a 5 star completion. Although busy, we still were able to dine in at the small breakfast bar by the window. It was chilly outside so the outdoor area wasn’t open but it was very large and in nicer weather provides much more dine in seating. Staff and great and the bathroom was clean! All around great place. Looking forward to returning."

"It’s a neat bakery with a nice ambience. Tried the Pineapple Danish, I feel like if the bread had been a bit crispier and the fruit was fresh it would’ve been amazing. Blood Orange Pistache Danish: Wasn’t a fan, no pistachio flavor either. bitterness from the blood Orange and the cheap tasting choco paste clashed. Vanilla Cream Brioche: An average brioche. Tasted a bit stale. Latte: Pretty bad since it was just 90% milk."
