Lechem Bakery

I recently moved to the area and stumbled into Lechem Bakery looking for the Starbucks. Wow. Fantastic authentic sourdough and challah. I bought a small loaf of each one since we're only 2 people at home. Nice selection of spreads and even super thin smoked salmon (I think it's actually Gravlox) trays. The store is self-service; grab a paper bag and fill it with whatever fresh loaves you want, all neatly displayed on baking racks. SI ove that there's a variety of sizes available. The bread is pricey and there were no listed prices that I was able to find so I was surprised when my bill was $30 for 2 loaves and the salmon, but the quality is A++ so I'm happy to pay for the these truly artisan breads which you just won't find anywhere else nearby.

Lechem Bakery is mamash a dream come true for anyone who takes their bread seriously. If you’re in Toms River / Lakewood area and you want real bakery-quality sourdough, challah, and desserts that feel fresh and homemade (but on a professional level), this place is a must. First of all, you walk in and it smells like Gan Eden for carb-lovers. The displays are beautiful, everything looks fresh, and you immediately start doing cheshbonos like, “Okay, I’ll just get one loaf…” and then two minutes later you’re holding a bag that could supply a small Shabbos kiddush. 😄 Their sourdough is a big deal here — crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, with that perfect tang. And I have to mention: the jalapeño sourdough is mamash next level. It’s the kind of loaf you buy “to try,” and then you re

Only place I get my sourdough and other goods from! Truly so delicious. I don’t go a week without stopping by

Oh my first time going into the store! Pleasant Staff worker helped me out. Saw nice looking fresh bread & picked an Everything Sourdough loaf! It was still too warm to have sliced at the store so when I got home I immediately dug in & ate the Heel with Butter! Soft, warm & the smell was intoxicating! Will be back for sure! Awesome!
