Mueller's Bakery • 1890

The crumb cake at Mueller's has been drawing summer crowds to Bay Head since 1890, still made from the original recipe that founded this Jersey Shore institution. Generations of families have lined up on Sunday mornings for the same handmade pastries, breads, and Danish that helped define the boardwalk bakery tradition. The crumb cake remains the draw, but the doughnuts and coffee cakes — all made with the same old-world techniques — keep regulars coming back year-round.
