Kosher Bakery archived

There is a bakery on Pleasant Valley Way off of Eagle Rock in W.O. This area of W.O. caters to strictly kosher people so the odds of it being what you want are good. It's on the right just before Eagle Rock. Many stores in this strip mall, such as a kosher Chinese restaurant.

Thanks!

There's one in Livingston as well - the Butterflake Bakery????

Cait and Abby's, because they are open on Saturdays, will not count as kosher to someone who is very observant.

Otherwise, what Honeydo said is correct. On the corner of Pleasant Valley Way and Eagle Rock (just before Eagle Rock, I believe) is where the bakery is.

Just to clarify, Cait and Abby's is under rabbinical supervision, but not by the standard Orthodox authorities, so will not be good for your orthodox guest. (paper plates and plastic cutlery, or new items, are also sounding like a good idea!)

Who are your guests and why?

A downside to the rehab at the Millburn Mall is that it has lost both Tabatchnik’s delicatessen and Sonny Aster’s bakery. But Syd's Deli and Maple Kosher Meat Market are staying. You might try Mosaica (untried by me), a glatt kosher eatery.

You could try asking at one or both of the orthodox temples in town for suggestions as to who their members use.

When my husband's orthodox client comes in for a meeting, I believe he picks up a sandwich at Zayda's on Irvington Ave.

Or she could post here where members of those shuls can read it. :bigsmile:

I don't think Zayda's is glatt kosher or shomer shabbos...nor is it a bakery, so I don't think it's appropriate for this question. As recommended above, the best choice is probably the kosher bakery in WO. Also, there are good baked good options at all the Shoprites in the area, plus, even Kings now carries Green's babka, which is imo, the best packaged pareve baked product on the market.

Zayda's **is** shomer shabbos and kosher for most orthodox concerns. Zadya's is not, however, a bakery, which is what the OP is asking for.

wendy,

Thanks. Since it was in the "second" (non-main) kosher section of Shop-Rite, I'd made the assumption it didn't have an acceptable hechscher for the glatt crowd and/or was not shomer shabbos. Glad to hear I was wrong.

deiscane, are we talking about the same Zayda's? That is, the kosher meat, deli shop on Irvington Ave. in South Orange? That's what I'm talking about.

I bet that deiscane is refering to having seen Zayda's soups in the kosher department at the Essex Green or Livingston Shop Rite. I wouldn't discount the "second" kosher section as unacceptable to the glatt crowd if the glatt crowd shops there at all.

It depends on what you want - Zayda's does sell challah and chocolate challah (Yum!). Also, their Shabbos chicken is really really good!

Yes, jem. Based on some of the other products in that area of those stores, I had (looks like mistakenly!) assumed those products were not really accepted by the frum communities there.

I was referring to Zayda's on Irvington Ave which most definitely is Glatt Kosher and Shomer Shabbos.

Alison:

I'm not sure what you are looking for in the way of kosher baked goods but the ShopRite suggestion is an excellent one if you are looking for deserts. I think their bread assortment is much more limited but others might disagree. If you do go to ShopRite, try to go on a day other than Friday night or Saturday. Then the kosher counter will be open and you can get some advice on what to purchase.

Thanks, ceide, again for clarifying.

Interestingly, my assumption was somewhat correct. Just a few weeks ago, Zayda's received certification from the Vaad of Metrowest. Prior to that, its certification was not universally accepted, especially when it came to its beef products.

Years ago I asked Zayda's what their hechsher (certification) was and they said Vaad of Elizabeth. I read the article recently about them becoming glatt and I was confused.

Cait and Abby's is so kosher that they're open on Pesach

:rolling:

All have rabbis, but you've got to know if you want Conservative acceptable oversight (Cait & Abby's -- not for the Orthodox, and not if you buy it on Pesach!), standard Orthodox oversight (old Zayda's) or new acceptable to everyone but the meat prices are significantly higher Glatt kosher oversight (the new Zayda's according to our last shopping trip).

Oy Vey!

There's a fantastic Jewish bakery on the Linden/Roselle line (a trip, I know, but worth it).

Beinstein's Village Bakery
1742 E Saint Georges Ave
Linden, NJ 07036

I see a lot of old women shopping there who seem to come from very far away. (Standing in line once, an older woman told me she came from Woodbridge because she grew up in Roselle and that was the bakery they always shopped at).

The cakes, bread, rolls - everything's good, even the cannoli.

It's definitely under rabbinical supervision - not sure if it's Orthodox or not.

Thanks for the heads up, njguy.

All I can say is Jesus...what a pain in the butt!!! (kidding of course!)
