JB Bakery, where everything is always Just Baked, and people are always smiling

JB Bakery began as a bagel and bread shop in 1952. Over time, ownership passed from family to family, and the product line increased.

There are only a few master world techniques and machinery to pull a culinary all-nighter. repairers left in Southern New Jersey and in the digital age few people have taken up the ancient art. Master Clockmaker, David Fisher, is one of the few who takes care of hundreds of historical and every day clocks.

Generations have come to regard it as “their” bakery, and it is common for people who grew up with JB birthday cakes to feature JB at their weddings as well.
