Aversa's Italian Bakery

A local bakery that I visited during our recent visit to Brigantine. Not a sit down cafe. It has a large variety of baked goods and pastries and I bought quite a few of them for our large company of 9. The pastries look impressive and are of course best, when fresh. I would recommend canoli and Sfogliatelle (only if you can get and eat them freshly baked - they are not as good when they are cold). The almond croissants and eclairs are not the best here in my opinion. The staff was very friendly.

Every time I visit AC, I always make sure to pop over to Aversa's in brigantine! It's one of my favorite bakeries in existence. They have the best crumb cake and chocolate covered pretzels. I finally tried a sandwich and went with a chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella and bruschetta on freshly baked semolina seeded bread. Hit the fricken spot 👌

Their pizza is great. I always have to bring some home to North Jersey. The buffalo chicken pizza is out of this world.

We ordered the silky cream cheese cake, tiramisu, and cream puffs. The cream puffs were the best out of what we ordered.

The baked goods are incredible. The best cookies and many other offerings. The bread is amazing. Their "bread sticks" are absolutely delicious. They also sell heros and Italian foods and goods. Very friendly staff. It's waaay too easy to drop a hundred or more in here. I also buy breads and cookies and send them to a friend in Freeport NJ. That's how good it is. Even good enough for me to spend $40 on Ubers back and forth. Yep ...that good!!!!

I was paying for my purchase and the woman came out in front of many people in the store and said very loudly that I have to pick up my dog (which would have put it at counter level). I stat
