Calandra's Italian & French Bakery

They have the best desserts. Fresh bread and rolls. Love going for dinner and the kids can watch as their food is being made. Great family environment.

Best bakery in Northern NJ by far! They have a wide range of desserts that are always fresh. They never produce stale bread because they continue to make them fresh by the hour. There is a reason why they have the #1 Bread in NJ! If you need to bring desserts to your next party, Calandra's is the best option!

Calandra's is the best!!! They absolutely have the best bread that me or my family has ever had. It's baked fresh every hour so you know it's good! We're also big fans of their cannolis, particularly the chocolate covered ones. You won't find a better bakery in NJ!!

I needed to order a birthday cake very last minute (because I had totally forgot about it, oops) and I was very impressed in all aspects. The customer service was so friendly and willing to help me out as much as they could. Not to mention the cake was delicious! Thanks for saving the day, Calandra's! :)

Had not been back to the Newark location since my family moved to Morris County in 1975; was in the area so we stopped by; the area has changed, but not all that much & the bakery is larger now, but looks pretty much as I recall it. Same great selection, it was a Sunday & between Mass from St. Francis, the placed was very packed, but the staff moved the line & were friendly & helpful to those who were not sure what they wanted & had questions. Picked up rolls & a "large round sliced" (just like my mom & dad would get) , which IMHO are the best. The front area & cases were very clean & the place looks well maintained. The original family were neighbors of ours, but don't really recall too much about them. Very pleased we stopped by, still a great bakery & a added bonus was running into people I have not seen in many years.
