In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many immigrant families achieved the American Dream by opening their own mom-and-pop bakeries.

There is no shortage of fantastic bakeries in New Jersey, but the one that made Mashable’s list of the best in the country is the one you should visit at all costs.
Since its opening in 1997, the French bakery Balthazar Bakery has become a New York City institution. The bakery moved across the Hudson River to Englewood within the last few years.
Balthazar is renowned for his bread and pastries, which include cookies, cheesecake, cinnamon rolls, croissants, scones, muffins, and pain au chocolat.
