We got sufganiyot from Hershy’s Bakery, and they were absolutely delicious! The dough was just right—soft, slightly chewy, and perfectly rich, just like a great sufganiyah should be. They were incredibly fresh and had such an authentic taste. Highly recommend for anyone looking for high-quality baked goods!

If Gan Eden had a branch on Route 9, it would probably be called Hershy’s Bakery. You walk in and right away get hit with that warm, heimish smell of fresh challah and rugelach — mamash a nefesh-refresh. The showcases are loaded like a kiddush on Shabbos Mevorchim: babkes, cakes, cookies, doughnuts, every chashuve maaseh taig you can think of. You come in “just for a challah,” and somehow you’re walking out with three boxes and a danish already half eaten in the car. Don’t ask.
The staff is super friendly, real heimishe chevra — patient with the indecisive types who stand there for ten minutes shtelling, “Nu, should I take the chocolate or cinnamon?” (Answer: both. Always both.) Their challos are fluffy, geshmak, and look beautiful on the Shabbos table, the kind you put in the middle and feel like a real baalabos.
Prices are normal, portions are generous, and the simchas hachaim is included at no extra charge. For Shabbos, Yom Tov, or just a random Tuesday “I need something shtark with my coffee,” Hershy’s is the go-to. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a proper heimishe bakery with a leibidige vibe and pastries that are mamash gevaldig.

Their regular bread rolls are good, but I tried a cheese one and it was AWESOME! I stopped in to get some cookies for new neighbors and they loved them.
My kids like the black and white cookies and the sprinkle cookie (the one down in the lower right corner of the display case).
This bakery is kosher.

Really kind owner and great staff. You have to try their rainbow cake! My wife and I like to come here at least a few times a month. Warning, you will become addicted after your first bite. We highly recommend!

Racks of them. BUT the man behind the counter had a mask but a lady and her 3 kids did not plus another lady was walking in without mask.
Would not go in. Did not see sign on door
About must wear mask. Would not go in.

This is by far the best bakery in Monmouth and ocean county. All deserts are freshly made daily as well as the breads and everything else in that business. The best thing about this place is that nothing here is overly sweetened, overly oiled or containing too much butter. It’s absolutely perfect and I absolutely recommend this to anyone that’s an ocean county or Monmouth county looking for by far hands down the best bakery in these areas.
