Rockland Bakery • 1976

This family-owned powerhouse in Nanuet lets customers pluck hot Kaiser rolls straight off the conveyor belt from the oven in an experience regulars compare to Willie Wonka's factory. Founded in 1976 by the Battaglia Brothers, Rockland Bakery has grown from a single storefront into one of the Northeast's largest wholesale operations, supplying everyone from Yankee Stadium to local delis with fresh breads, bagels, and oversized Black & White cookies. Walk into the bright, airy retail space to choose from hundreds of pastries, cakes, and pies, or hit the deli counter for custom-sliced bread and sandwiches that keep crowds coming back daily.
