Bread & Salt

Havnt had since beanworld 2018? But man this is one of the best bakeries in NJ I should have ordered more food to go

Bread and Salt is such a rare treat. The bread is incredible, and a loaf lasts an entire week, yielding first great bread then toast then croutons and bread crumbs. Of course if you get Rick Easton’s cookbook you can make his delicious “meat” balls (3 kinds!), stuffed peppers, papa Al pomodoro, etc. The donuts are perfect with an espresso in the morning, and so far I have had the onion focaccia, the tomato and the zucchini- all outstanding. I look forward to this bakery opening on Friday all week, and the sandwiches are delicious- my favorite so far is the fig, Gorgonzola and salami. The ones I have had are all made on crispy, olive oil-y focaccia. There is usually a small line but the line conversations are great for menu suggestions, and you can usually have a coffee while you wait. Luckily I live close by but I would drive from Manhattan for this place!! ***Refreshing this review to say the panettone is off the hook. Waited in line for an hour and worth every single minute- you won’t find a better one in NYC. Incredible.

My brother in law brought down their panettone to MTL for Christmas and I can safely say after trying dozens that It is the GOAT.
