Minos Bakery

Minos used to be the best, but my last 3 visits have been disappointing. Their multi- sprinkle cookies were unmatched; however something has changed. The texture is different- the underside harder with the classic taste missing and less baked in sprinkles. Donuts have more cakey dough, they’re thicker, and the white cream was super sweet and dense. Out of a half dozen purchased, 4 donuts are left- 2 days later. It feels like the baker(s) have lost the love with these treats. Everything tastes similar to the past, but the taste/ flavor is just not as good. Are there new owners in the past 1-2 years?

I live in Texas now, but my family is still in South Jersey. Every time I come to visit I always stop by Minos for my fix! Haha I grew up with the delicious bakery pastries of Minos! Every year I’d get my strawberry shortcake birthday cake from Minos! It’s still just as tasty! I love their wedding cake slices (vanilla), their powdered cream filled donuts, strawberry shortcake, crème brûlée, and I always get a sprinkled cupcake to fly back home! The women who help me are always very friendly as well.

YOU CAN DO BETTER I’m Sure. I have purchased four, 12 inch strawberry shortcakes for special occasions. All of which were special ordered and not off the shelf. Overall disappointment. Here’s why: Cake one: special order 12 inch strawberry shortcake, with extra strawberries. It was served after a big dinner. We cut the cake and there were little to no strawberries to be seen. My guest made jokes about the cake. And didn’t eat it. Cakes 2&3: Called the owner to ask about the lack of strawberries. He apologized and said on my next order, I would not have to pay for extra berries. I later ordered two 12 inch SBSC’s with extra strawberries. And I specifically said I wanted a piece of strawberry in every bite. These two cakes were absolutely the best ever. So many strawberries I could ha

Great experience! Visiting a family member to celebrate a birthday. Friend recommended this bakery! We're so happy that they were open on Easter Sunday! We were able to buy a slice to taste the cake before purchasing! We were very happy with the whippe d cream flavor and not overly sweet cake! Stephanie wrote exactly how I wanted on the cake! Wanted to try everything on the shelf, but summer is coming. Whenever I'm in this area I will return!

Beware, locals and transients alike- You will be blown away by the selection and sheer volume of product when you walk into this unassuming bake shop on a busy local highway. The smells and colors will hit you like a freight train, You will never want to go to a Dunkin' Donuts or overpriced chain bakery ever again. It will ruin you for every artificial ingredient-laden competitor out there, and you will return time and time again, build a family and bring your children in-tow. A generational bakery and local staple. Unrivaled.
