Chester’s Pastry Pantry Bakery

Yummy bakery! My husband and I picked up a donut and gingerbread cookie on the way home from the shore. Delicious, also convenient because they take card with no minimum payment! Really enjoyed it.

Everything is good. By far best bakery around. Mino’s, Wards and the Atlantic City shops are no where close.

The best bakery in South Jersey. Everything I have eaten from here has been delicious.

The best bakery around and I don’t just say that because I used to work there. I still crave everything, the donuts, honey buns, cannolis… The smell when you walk through the door will have you ordering everything. I love this place

Best bakery in the area. Been coming here for years and my favorite two things about the start of summer are the prior years leftovers from the freezer and that first fresh vanilla cream donut the next morning. Mini cinnamon buns, cheese danishes and donuts are all fantastic

How this place does not have a perfect rating is beyond me. Best mini honey buns around by far! The hot home made donuts are unmatched as well.

This is my favorite bakery within the Northfield-​Linwood-​Somers Point variety. I wish I was more patient to drive from the end of Northfield where I live to the end of Somers Point where Chester’s is located because if they were closer to me I would stop in every day. I’ve never had a bad experience here… customer service is fantastic and even the younger «apprentices» are very knowledgable about the baked goods and will always offer a sample if you’d like one, so don’t hesitate to ask.
Try the mini apple danish. I am obsessed with these. If I were more indulgent I would buy thirty of them and pop each one into my mouth before getting home because they are so tasty, crispy, baked perfectly and the icing is delicious and it is a wonderful sweet treat to end your breakfast with. I don’t know any other places that offer mini danishes like these consistently on an every-​day basis. I’ve asked around other places and they say you can special order «something like it» but I probably wouldn’t ever venture into the territory of «something like» Chester’s mini danishes. They have multiple flavors and they also have a mini sticky bun which is as equally delicious and amazing.
The cakes are unique, trendy, and beautiful. The donuts are also amazing, especially the plain glazed and jelly filled powdered ones. They also have coffee and ice cream available right there if you just want to stop in for «dessert». I wish these guys were open all night. Parking is a little difficult because New Road is so busy and insane. I just really enjoy the old-​style vintage architectural feel to the place and you can smell how incredible it is as soon as you step out of your car to head in.
The only downside is no credit, cash only, which can be an inconvenience if you don’t know this before braving the heavy traffic to park and then have to leave to go to Wawa to get cash after you’re already there with your order. I sometimes do not understand why businesses don’t offer this service because we’re in the 21^st century now.
