Review from Sam P.
Somerville, NJ
3/7/2012
The bread here was delicious. After reading reviews about this place I decided to head on over and try it out for myself. It was sooo worth the 40 minute drive. The bread was delicious and the price was just as delicious. Service was very good. I will be returning to this little gem of a place!

Everything I have had from here has been really good but the wheat baguette takes the cake. Do yourself a favor and pick up bread from here next time you are making Sunday dinner instead of getting it from the grocery store.
Congrats Antique, you just baked yourself right on to my Gems of Hoboken list!Listed in: Gems of Hoboken

Review from Holly N.
Gruff. City. Old school. Bakery??
Every time I've been here I walked in the front door and someone begrudgingly hoists themselves from a chair in back situated in front of some fuzzy TV broadcasting shenanigans. The person gets behind the counter and looks at me like, "Could you order already so I can get back to my program? Gawd."
OK, but then you order, "French baguette, please." or "Garlic French baguette, please." Either one puts you back a woping two smackaroos and it is the freshest yummiest bread ever. Do yourself a favor and make some fresh bruschetta.
I'm pretty convinced this place might possibly be owned by the mob or might be a cover, but they make fantastic bread and will continue to benefit from my two dollar holla! -

This place is amazing. Buy your bread here. The old gentleman who serves you is worth the price of admission; he carries himself with an air of dignity that you can't imagine coming from today's grocery stores.
Recommendation: buy some bread and couple it with some fresh mozz from Fiore's deli for a great sandwich. Do it now.Listed in: My Neighborhood

How lucky am I to live just a few doors down from Antique Bakery???
AMAZING loaves of Italian semolina bread in all shapes and sizes. They also have some cookies and pepperoni bread and stuff like that, but I just stick with the loaves of bread. Many of the restaurants in Hoboken serve their bread and the delis use it for their sandwiches.
This place is totally old school Hoboken and totally awesome. Trust me, it's worth a trip to Hoboken just for this place.Listed in: Around Town - Hoboken, NJ

Awesome bread. This beats the likes of Panera hands-down, and is far better than anything you can find in a supermarket (even the supposedly gourmet stuff). If you've only eaten supermarket bread in your life, you haven't lived. Home-made bread is great, but unless you have a good oven and the time to maintain crazy starter cultures, your results will be warm, crusty and tasty, but not as spectacular as anything from a great bakery like this.
After a non-starter conversation (I didn't really get what the guy was saying) for $3.25, I bought a HUGE boule loaf, bagged very slowly by the elderly gent (I'm guessing he's the namesake "antique"). I can't imagine that he's the baker -- he seems a little too frail to be kneading and shaping.
The product is beautiful. I don't even need to make a sandwich out of this, just slather it in butter and chow down.Listed in: Hoboken

I've never expected to find such a decent bakery in New Jersey.
Such bakeries are even impossible to find in Manhattan.
How many times I have spent so much money and dissapointed in all these hoity-toity Manhattan bakeries.
Here at Antique cafe, you pay only about 50% of Manhattan Bakeries, get much better bread. I must say their bread is alot like home made bread rather than mass produced bakery bread. I tried 5 different kinds of bread so far, and all are excellent.
It is crazy people go to the Panara bread a few blocks away.
I also tried their cookies, but bread was much much better. -

How could I live less than 100 yards from this place for two and a half years and never gone inside until today???
I am dumb.
Being Easter, I wanted to treat myself to something homey. But I'm broke and it's freezing cold outside, so when the Antique Bakery appeared in front of me just as I was thinking of a treat it was like the answer was sent by some higher power.
They have all kinds of bread, from wheat to semolina to white. And from rolls to baguettes to loaves to rounds. Then they've got filled bread. Sadly, they were out of all the filled breads except for the pepperoni and mozarella and I was looking for lunch. So I got me a pepperoni and mozarella and headed home.
At the moment I'm eating the most perfect, wonderful loaf of bread with salty pepperoni and smooth mozarella. But the bread is the real winner. It's light and fluffy with just the right crunch in the crust.
I'll be going back much more often from now on!Listed in: A West Coast Girl's Version of…

They're open til 8 during the week, which is convenient if you get home late from work and the other Hoboken bread shops have already closed. I think Antique and Marie's are on the same level and Dom's is a step above in flavor. However, Antique has a larger and consistently stocked collection while Dom's carries a small variety and Marie's has a smaller, unpredictable selection.

Unfortunately my Antique Bakery review is only based on my taste of a singular roll, but what a delicious wheat roll it was...I had seen a feature of Antique Bakery on the Food Network and was desperate to try it. I stopped by there one afternoon and picked up a small, round wheat roll. Though it was the end of the day, the roll was still soft. The bread was dense and doughy. It was quite filling and could not be finished in one serving. I relished every bite of the Italian goodness. I cannot wait to go back and try the baguettes and other baked goods.

This place has a great selection of bread and always fresh. I would however try Dom's on 5th and Grand and compare.

Couldn't agree with Kelly More. The old guy who runs it is so slow at bagging your bread that you might get to celebrate a birthday during the purchase process but for some reason when you're here, everything is ok. You're transported back a hundred years to a simpler time where people did one thing and did it well. Plus the smell of fresh baked bread is fantastic. I always get one of their enormous bread rounds to make french toast with and then a baguette or two on general principle. Love it

This old fashioned bakery is wonderful. Bread is the closest I have had here in the US to what I had in Italy. Don't miss the sausage or prosciutto bread. On weekends they have homemade hot dishes to go . The lasagna looks great. They don't make them like this anymore. Go, go, go!!!
