Balthazar Bakery - The Best Baked Goods Ever

 New Yorkers will tell you - Balthazar Bakery is one of the best in the city, It has everything , from crusty baguettes to buttery galettes and shortbreads. Yet there was always one problem with this gem of a bakery - it was only for Manhattanites. Luckily , there is a solution - its' wholesale out let in Englewood, New Jersey.

The outlet store is located at 214 S.Dean Street in this historic town , just outside of New York City. This location provides bread for all the local restaurants but the public can also buy here. Due to the virus, only six customers are allowed in at a time. 

You walk in and there are baked treats everywhere!

It was so hard making choices, 

Their breads are legendary , ranging from simple sourdough loaves to fruit and veggie infused breads. I had to buy their butter croissants which are just flaky , buttery crusts. Yum.

This was truly le roi - the king  -of croissants. Beautifully baked, airy , and with the right amount of layers. Then there was their shortbread - 

These were homemade and perfect. a smooth textured shortbread, perfect with their creamy, buttery flavor. These are excellent with a good hot cup of tea or coffee on a chilly fall night.

Keep in mind that, although this is a New Jersey store, the prices are typical Manhattan. Two croissants and a bag of shortbread was $16.00 which was a lot. Their Thanksgiving menu is equally expensive. An apple pie laced with Calvados is a whopping $42.50 Pumpkin pie with a gingerbread crust is slightly cheaper at $32.50. Even their stuffing mix is dear. A large bag is $20. Get the mixed dinner rolls that are $6 a dozen. The mix contains petite pain, multigrain, picholine olive and potato onion rolls. Still any of their baked good and goodies are worth the steep price.
