Otok Bakery

Otok is easily the best bakery in Hoboken. We’ve tried everything from their breakfast sandwiches (of which the bacon is impressively thick), to their croissants, baguettes and stuffed bread. They also sell delicious tomato soup and sandwiches during weekday lunch.

What a find! They use true Normandy butter from France 🇫🇷 for their croissants! Super tasty and delicious. The owner Meran showed me the amazing 500 square foot brick oven, that used to bake bread for Frank Sinatra back in the day. Love it! What an amazing old school throwback, still backing amazing bread today. I would call this a super recommendation!

Not gonna lie, the almond croissants look ghastly: deflated and devoid of layers. Nonetheless, what I ordered was great. Sfogliatella was ace, the filling was perfect, creamy and not overly sweet. Focaccia wasn't anywhere as pillowy as the best but a fine slice for the neighbourhood.

Some friends and I stopped at a local deli while visiting Hoboken and they recommended Otok Bakery for a cup of coffee and some pastries. This was a trip will worth it! Great, cozy and friendly atmosphere with excellent food and drinks. We got several pastries which were all great and they had some gluten free options as well. I got a hot chocolate to drink and it was nice and thick just like in Italy. It's the kind of place that I'll find an excuse to stop by, love it!

My husband and I came for the private dinner option and it was amazing. It’s hosted by the cutest couple who are so accommodating from meal choices to music preferences. The multi course meal was incredible and it’s such a fun and unique experience getting to meet a small group of locals from Hoboken for an intimate dinner. They thought of everything to make the night perfect and made us cute to-go bags with fresh bread. We highly recommend booking for a date night or small group event! 10/10
