Dom’s Bakery Grand

Dom’s is as good as it gets. This bread has no equal. Texture and taste collide in a symphony of carbo-​delight. Sure you can eat it with things — like unbeatable mutz from Fiore’s around the corner — but the beauty of this bread is it can also fly solo. Did I say fly — I mean soar. Long may Dom bake.
So I’m clear and you’re not confused — I like this bread a lot.

If Dom’s weren’t around, I perhaps would move. Its presence is a large reason I love living here as it represents what Hoboken was and what Hoboken is. Dom’s is named after Dom, a warm older Italian man who has been running this place for at least 40y and when he isn’t there, often Esther is in his place, a warm Puerto Rican woman who grew up in Hoboken, during a time when Hoboken was even more family oriented: she tells me that back then, if you had to run an errand, the neighborhood block would watch your kid. At Dom’s, they make a handful of breads (different size rolls) foccacia (the best you will ever eat), a few freshly baked incredible Italian pastries and Wow! You will keep coming for more. On the weekends I sometimes do my morning ’rounds’, which I cherish, which includes Dom’s for bread and foccacia and Fiore’s nearby for mutz (and if it is a special occasion like a bday or guest, will include Carlos’ lobster tails). Dom is a kind, generous spirited baker with much pride in his bread and in its crust. He gave me a tour of his magnificent oven. He is perhaps the only person I know for whom ‘byob’ refers to ‘bring your own bread’ which he told me he sometimes does as his standards are quite high for bread. Looking forward to my morning rounds there tomorrow morning! We usually get rolls and a sliced sourdough, foccacia. You cannot go wrong.

Just had the tomato pie. With out a doubt one if the best things I’ve ever eaten. If you’ve never had it stopping at Dom’s is a must. It’s the best

I used to have a favorite bread bakery until a friend told me about Dom’s this is by far the best bread in all of Hudson county. I travel a lot and live less than a mile from this place and the only bread that equals it is in Europe. Why would you eat any other bread. Try the sausage bread you won’t regret it.

Tomato Pie is all you need to know. My partner is a vegan and this is the only thing that satisfies her craving for pizza. Quite frankly, I can give up pizza in exchange for their tomato pie. Be sure to get the full tray, only $ 24, because one slice is surely not enough. Don’t be deterred by the looks of this place, for me it definitely adds to the charm of the bread.

best foccocia ive ever eaten in my life.
italian bread is delicious

Not a long review– this bread is the best around. I always forget to stop by and pick some up– but every week we eat out and invariably that rest. is serving Dom’s bread with the meal. So… I eat this bread every week.
Love it with cold butter… and homemade pasta!

Not a huge selection, but what they’ve got is delicious. I love the old classic feel of this place. Not even close to fancy, but this place just gives you that feeling that they’ve been here forever, not because of their selection, or because of some amazing business smarts by the owners, but simply because make good bread!

Get a slide of focaccia with tomato sauce. It’s the best in town.

This is a wildly old school bakery with just a few choices, all great: italian long loaves, round loaves and occasionally Sicilian pizza. When you walk in you’ll think you’re in someone’s kitchen! Low prices and great bread keep us coming back.
My kids insist on stopping for a fresh loaf at Dom’s on our way to the city via Hoboken. It usually is gone before we hit the PATH lol. When we got all food geeky and asked to see the oven in back they were completely gracious about it, let us admire the ancient setup.
Sfogliatelle every Sunday morning. Amazingly crispy, flaky thousand-​layer pastry shell around sweet cream with bits of candied lemon, dusted in powdered sugar, don’t miss these! Check out the picture.
Cash only, as it should be!

In Hoboken you have two bakeries putting out arguably the best bread.
My personal favorite is Dom’s.
Dom’s estimates they bake about 1,000 loaves a day, which the they sell in the store and deliver to such Hoboken eateries as, Dino & Harry’s, Luca Brasi’s Deli, Fran’s Deli, Vito’s and more. The best sandwich is made on the best bread, so it’s no surprise everyone goes to Dom’s. There is nothing better than coal oven baked goods.
Beyond your standard baguette, they also sell onion and olive loaves, several different varieties of my favorite focaccia (tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, olives), garlic bread sticks, and many more varieties of coal oven baked goods.
Depending on the day and the time, what you get to choose from might be different.
They sell out almost everyday so if you have a order you need filled, call ahead and place it a day or two before. That way you guarantee they won’t sell the last one before you get there.
This is one of the places on the Hoboken food tour, so don’t miss out on what everyone else already knows.
They have been featured in Esquire, The NY Times, NY Serious Eats, &

This is hands down best loaf of Italian bread in Hudson County.
I have been coming here with my grandfather since I am a child and the place reminds me of him and old hoboken :).
I get two small loaves. I think the smaller dimensions makes for a crispier crust and fluffier inside (for some reason). The inside is not bulky but airy.
The selection is limited and they only have certain things on certain days but the staples are always there (long Italian bread, panelle, focaccia, etc).
Antique is a close second

Tried the tomato focaccia today — amazing! Can’t wait to go back and try another one of their breads. Definitely a hole-​in-​the-​wall, but I LOVE hole-​in-​the-​walls! Highly recommended, go check it out.

Pardon my language: This place is a sh*thole.
But it doesn’t matter one damn bit, because at Dom’s, their mission is to make amazing bread.
When the bread is this good, who cares about how pretty the place is? There is not a huge selection of breads here — maybe 5 or 6 types, in addition to a wonderful tomato focaccia. They know what they do best and they’ve stuck to it for years. Take a look in the back at the missive old brick oven and you’ll quickly understand why bread like this can never be replicated.
If your timing is right and you get a loaf right out of the oven, you might as well just jump into the Hudson, because nothing is going to get much better than ripping off a hot, steamy piece.
Other random fact: Many of the local deli’s use Dom’s bread, which is part of the reason, as a whole, Hoboken has the best Italian sandwiches of any single town in the tri-​state area.

Dom’s has the best italian bread. If I don’t have it on a regular basis, I come to crave it.
Their hoagie rolls make the perfect sandwich, and they sell larger baguettes, round rolls, italian cookies and the most incredible tomato focaccia I think I’ve ever tasted. The focaccia comes in a small circle, large circle and they sell it by the square slice, but it’s pretty hard to resist buying the largest size. It’s just the right amount of soft and chewy, and tastes great toasted or cold. Their bread has a perfect thick crust, is soft in the middle and is always fresh.
It’s a dumpy hole in the wall, but you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. Their bread is used in many restaurants in the area and for good reason — its delicious.
