Grandma Downtown

I’ve also been following Grandmadowntown on Instagram for a while. Her baked good always look so inviting and delicious. I finally was able to catch up to Grandma downtown at the Lincoln park farmers market — perhaps it’s just me based on the rave reviews from others, but I found the baked goods to be hard, kinda dry, and cold. I think it would taste much better on a warm day where the baked goods would still be warm around late morning. The day I had them it was kinda chilly in the morning. Or better yet grandma should consider bringing her baked goods in a warmer or having a microwave on hand to hear them up. I had the Banana Nutella at $ 5 a pop, I’d rather head to choco pain.

I ordered two breads– a pepperoni and a banana/​walnut/​Nutella to bring to a friends for Easter. Everyone (both kids and adults) loved them!!! I got the large loaves and they were polished off with ease.
Delivery made this easy!
Will definitely order again.

GMDT is the very epitome of yummy and savory comfort foods. She does a wonderful job of combining everyone’s favorite flavors and the freshest ingredients into tasty delights that suit almost every diet (vegetarian, vegan, paleo, and even your dog’s!). And not only is there an incredible variety of options to choose from, but several also come in a choice of sizes (loaves, mini loaves, and bread cups) to satisfy any appetite or party.
I also appreciate that her goods can be found at a few places in my area (Brewshot in Jersey City, Smith & Chang in Hoboken, and Bean Vault in Hoboken), so I have a few options of where I can go depending on where I am. If you’re not in those areas or want a special order, she also provides delivery (free to Hudson County residents with a minimum $ 20 order). And once the weather warms up, she’ll be out and about at different events too. It’s like she’s everywhere!
And may I add that I LOVE her instagram (@grandmadowntown). Her pics are so good I can practically smell and taste the food! **View them with caution because you will definitely end up with a craving**

Pros: QUALITY of product! Krista, aka grandma puts so much love into her food & it seriously shows! I have yet to be disappointed and this is saying a lot, since I am a total snob when It comes to this kind of thing! Biting into something Krista made gives me the feeling of Sunday mornings growing up in my parents house. My dad would come home with stuffed breads every Sunday and nothing has been able to compare until I found Grandmadowntown. If you haven’t sampled and consequently, savored the product… you are surely missing out!
Cons: I have been known to eat half of a loaf of the onion & mootz in one sitting on more than one occasion. I am both embarrassed & impressed by myself simultaneously.
Moral of the story: You will not be disappointed & there is something for everyone at Grandmadowntown!

One word: AMAZING! No matter which bread I try, my taste buds are pleasantly delighted! Between the chicken cutlet, peppers, and Mozz or the chicken cutlet and broccoli rabe or the pepperoni and Mozz or the olive loaf, I just can’t decide what is my favorite!!! And if you are in the mood for something sweet– grandma downtown’s got you covered! The Nutella, banana, and walnut bread cups are to die for!!!
The loafs and bread cups are overflowing with cheesy goodness, making these bad boys worth every penny! And don’t let me forget the cheesy grissini! These cheesy breadsticks are the perfect addition to any meal!
Krista, the owner, is the sweetest too! She will make just about anything you ask her to! She is always up for a challenge. And she is always coming up with new delicious additions to her menu! Can’t wait to make another order soon!!! Yummm!

Dayummmm.
I’ve been following @GrandmaDowntown for awhile now and I refused to eat this bread bowl/​roll, you know why? Because I knew I’d pretty much be a glutton for punishment. Low and behold, I crumbled. And, guess what? They are as good as I thought I was missing out on.
I went with the chicken cutlet, soppresata and smoked mozzarella while checking out the new café at Smith & Chang by Hamilton Park and it was pretty much a carby little piece of heaven. Slightly heated and crisped, it was like a warm hug on a winter’s day. You’d think in the somewhat small bowl, there can’t be that much filling… but oh, there is! A nice strip of perfect fried chicken cutlet, a slice of delicious cured meat and a ton of melted smoky mozzarella all wrapped intricately in slightly greased dough. I’m getting myself worked up just writing about it!
So, to the gal who makes these and posts her food porn on the reg on Instagram, we’re gonna have some words. These are just too good to be good for you, yet they are too good not to eat… do you see my dilemma? First world problems I know, but a problem nonetheless.
Regardless of my inner demons, diet or not, go find these bread rolls and enjoy.
Price: try to buy these bad boys directly from the source. S&C marks it up $ 2 making it a bit pricy at $ 8 a pop.

Delicious homemade bread always fresh to order! I’ve gotten my GMDT fix at the farmers market this past summer. Krista, the owner, is a doll and will gladly reserve any bread beforehand. I’ve had a bunch of rolls but my favorite hands down is the pepperoni! There is NO skimping on meat, cheese, or any type of filling which makes GMDT my go-​to for bread (and I live in Hoboken which says a lot!) I’m looking forward to ordering for Thanksgiving and other future holidays.

Insanely delicious breads from grandma downtown. I’ve had the chicken cutlet, soppresata and smoked mozz roll and the buffalo chicken roll. I am already convinced everything is perfectly baked with just the right combinations of flavors.
They are at the grove st farmers market on Monday and Thursday from 4−8pm. They also have an etsy account and accept orders via email. Free delivery too within Hudson county!
The owner is so sweet and you can tell she loves what she does. She is giving 2^nd street bakery and pecoraros a run for their money.
watch out people, grandma’s in town.
