Smithville Bakery & Coffee Shop

This is a great place to have breakfast or lunch. They also have a great baking products like bread, cakes and cookies. Today I’m having eggs Benedict Florentine. We always love coming here, just be aware that you will probably have to wait in line to sit down. The best Restaurants always have a wait anyway!

Just called them to find their hours on a Monday: 6am — 5:30pm. Not just breakfast anymore!

Maybe pass on this bakery.
I was dealing with some of my awesome chronic back pain (seriously, I’m 90) so my mom stood in line for the both of us while I waited in one of their high chairs. The line itself was disorganized and a young girl ended up jumping in front of my mom, who had been waiting much longer.
I only requested a blueberry donut, but my mom ordered a bunch of baked goods. She told me her items were overall average, aside from a cookie that she ended up tossing because the icing was ungodly sweet. I ate my donut early the next morning and it was already hard as a rock. Not exactly the most enjoyable breakfast.
This bakery is good in theory (right in the middle of a cutesy old-​time village) but just didn’t delivery on quality.

Perfect spot for a fresh homemade breakfast. Everything was delicious !
Great bakery items too — we took some home !! Only thing that could make it better would be if they upgraded the restroom — RUN DOWN !!!

A must when visiting my grandparents in Jersey! We LOVE this place!
It’s got a very welcoming country, cracker-​barrel, at home vibe. The decorations (antiques) keep me entertained while I wait for my food.
As you walk to your table you pass by the tantalizing bakery items that seem to be calling out your name! They offer up some of the most delicious tasty sweet treats I’ve ever had! Their fresh baked bear claws are literally the size of a grizzly bear paw! Yum!
Onto the breakfast dishes. Your typical scrambled eggs, breads, breakfast meats and it’s all good!
Service is always prompt and friendly.
Only downside with this place is the one unisex bathroom.
I can’t wait to go back and visit again soon.

An underrated breakfast spot in the Smithville Village. Shea’s gets all the local breakfast acclaim, and rightly so, their food is awesome. If you’re looking for the holy grail of breakfast food this isn’t your place. But if you want a solid, classic, well-​priced breakfast, in a quaint setting with really good pastry options this is your place.
Some my favorite dishes are the Belgian waffles and western omelette (or really any of their omelettes are pretty good). For dessert try a cinnamon stick or elephant ear.

Smithville Bakery! Sort of a let down…
I came her around noon on a Friday to grab some of their once amazing pastries to find myself with stale and really not edible pastires/​cookies. Bummer.
If you’re here on a busy day though you must try the cherry cheese bun. Very yummy!

I love love love their cherry cheese Danish — it’s one of my favorites desserts ever!!! I recommend coming here on a busy Saturday or Sunday because everything will be fresh. I came here recently on a Friday afternoon and everything tasted pretty stale.

This place is a hidden gem in the Historic Shopping Village of Smithville.
Freshly made pastries and pies, and there is a nice dining room to sit at where they serve breakfast. Old fashioned comfy vibe here at this quaint bakery.
We dropped in here last weekend to pick up a few eats for the ride home. Cookies, pies, croissants, a vaiety of sweet buns, fruit filled sticks, and assorted other pastries. Coffee, tea, and hot drinks too. Good prices and friendly service at the counter.
We devoured a soft jumbo peanut butter cookie and a few raspberry sticks while driving. It was a gluttonous mess as I wore a rainbow of crumbs on my shirt and crotch but I didn’t care as both were delicious.
Nothing like fresh baked pastries all over my body.

For those who have been to this area, this bakery is part of the old-​fashioned, quaint area of Smithville Village. The area is just very unique and perfect for strolls after breakfast or dinner. The location is just a hidden gem from tourist and mostly has locals.
The bakery itself has a variety of sweets, from Chocolate croissants to Apple Pies. My favorite are the chocolate croissants, where I can taste that they use real good chocolate in the filling, not those fake syrup chocolates that some bakeries have. They also has a variety of bread that they bake themselves. Baked daily and very fresh, and best of all you can tell they don’t put preservatives in the bread because they will start to mold after a few days.
In addition to the bakery, this place also has a dine-​in area for breakfast/​brunch. They have the usual list of breakfast menu items: eggs, pancakes, french toast, and waffles. Their potatoes are truly potatoes, and not the hash brown type, which was a plus. But nothing was really special on the breakfast menu, just your regular breakfast options. No benedicts or eggs in a hole, bummer. But I do like their spicy Italian sausage, that was a small plus on their menu.
Nice people with quick service. All-​in-​all, I’ll rate this place for their bakery section (4 stars, good fresh bread, and decent sweets bakery). But for their breakfast dine-​in area, I’ll rate that in this comment (3 stars, nothing special).

Today was our second time here in 2 months after a weekend Atlantic City excursion. We stumbled upon it the first time after a nearby winery staff member recommended Smithville as a nice day trip. The atmosphere is homey, comfortable and friendly and is replete with some interesting old artifacts hanging on the walls of the place. The breakfast offerings were generous and the service was prompt. The bakery counter is chock full of fresh baked goods and you will have a difficult time deciding what to lug back home as everything looks great. We agreed that this place will be our regular stop when we are in the area again.

I had the «Breakfast on a Bun» with pork roll. It was very tasty! The bun was freshly baked and I enjoyed the pork roll. I don’t know if that’s something even offered at diners in my neighborhood.

Had an awesome breakfast. Coffee was not great and felt kind of rushed but would go back again. The pastries looked very good and would try in the future.

I love this place! It’s an old-​fashioned, quaint bakery that reminds me of a place you would see in a Harry Potter movie; which I love. Try their apple turnovers, they’re amazing!

For what Smithville has to offer, the bakery was a disappointment. The various baked goods are not quite what they could be in terms of variety and quality (the pepperoni bread should have been billed «barely pepperoni bread») the service seemed rushed and generally disinterested, I felt like I was about to be asked «what do you want already?» when I hadn’t even decided to make a purchase.

A nice country style breakfast not far from the Jersey Shore. You will not go wrong with any breakfast sandwich. One of the best western omelette you will find.

Went here for breakfast since the place down the street was closed. It was my first time here. The baked goods in the front are appealing to the eye and obviously made in house. We took some for snacks later.
We sat down to breakfast– the place was full by 8:30am with a line of people waiting– and had pancakes, eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc. We all had a bit of everything. There was nothing special or bad about any of it, just nothing great either. The bacon was cooked well and a large portion, but the pancakes, though quite large, were rubbery,
The dining room has fake trusses and som old tools on the walls. Service by Kim was poor — didn’t get a refill on my $ 2 coffee– and the table was not wiped clean of the crumbs from the previous diners. Early in the morning it seemed filled by lots of senior citizens.
The pastries are fresh but the rolls are all made from the same yeast dough so there is some lack of variety here.
I would return for the bakery and try more things but not the café.

Staff is not the friendliest… so we always choose to pick up something sweet and a hot drink to bring over to the gazebo to enjoy — or simply just pick something up to go. The oatmeal raisin cookies and the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are both delicious. Good coffee and hot chocolate with whipped cream never disappoints (watch out — it’s always burning hot — OUCH!)

What a bummer. We had a crummy experience. After reading so many glowing reviews, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on some of these yummy baked goods — but I was waaaaaaay let down.
First, let me say that we did NOT go there for breakfast, so maybe it was partially our fault. I assumed, however, that I would get an equally great experience by ordering a cookie or pie or some sort of sweet concoction to munch on as we walked and shopped. My husband and I went in around 2pm on a Saturday. The place was busy and kind of claustrophobic near the counter. The ladies behind the counter didn’t look too friendly, either — no smiles, no greeting, no nothing. We ordered one cinnamon stick to split — the thing was HUGE. Total was $ 3.75 for that thing.
We walked outside to get some fresh air, and as I took my first bite, I stopped dead in my tracks. EW. What looked like a soft, yummy pastry loaded with cinnamon was actually just a huge stick of puff pastry (I think) with a tiny bit of cinnamon swirled inside. Not what I expected at all. It felt like I had sawdust in my mouth. My husband reached over and took a bite, and shot me a «what-​the-​heck-​did-​I-​just-​put-​in-​my-​mouth» look. I took another bite, thinking that it might be softer towards the middle of the stick… nope. I was wrong. Still sawdust. We couldn’t even eat ¼ of it, much less the whole thing. We promptly dumped it in the garbage can.
Again, maybe we missed out on the true experience by not having breakfast there, but BLECH — after that, I wouldn’t go back for breakfast in a billion years. I felt like I wasted $ 4 and all I have to show for it is a quarter. Bummer. I wanted to like this place, I reeeeeeally did.

The line was long but moved quickly… a wait well worth it. Located just outside of AC, my boyfriend and I enjoyed a tasty and unique breakfast here that was very reasonably priced! The décor was very old fashioned/​hometown feeling so the atmosphere was very cozy.
Again, unique breakfast entrees. I had the apple french toast which was a bit too sweet for me but all of the other dishes were yummy. Also, the baked goods served separately are delicious! Get there early as they run out, quick.
