This Italian bakery is nestled in a residential area and might be easy to miss if you weren't looking for it. This place is small; standing room only. It is also cash only. However, this place probably has the best breakfast sandwich you can get in Jersey City simply because of the bread, which is made on site. The bread is just outstanding. I'm not sure if they don't usually have bacon or if it was just today. I got ham egg and cheese on a roll instead. However you can get the usual array of Italian subs as well as hot sandwiches. They also have some calzones and pepperoni rolls as well as some sweeter breads like cinnamon raisin. 10/10 will come back to try their other non breakfast subs etc.

Every single thing the staff was so professional and you could just. See that they all loved their job.

Yes yes yes! We will be coming back for sure! Despite not having seats or being a traditional cafe, the baked goods here hit. the. spot. We got a pepperoni and cheese roll (kind of like a calzone but better), ricotta pastry and chocolate roll, and all three came out to $11 and the sizes were generous. Second Street Bakery does not skimp on the ingredients, and the pastries were field with pepperoni, ricotta and chocolate - everything was evenly distributed so every bite you took was perfect. Highly recommend this spot! The server was really kind and no frills. We look forward to returning and trying their sandwiches too!

This bakery is delicious! We were tipped off by family to visit, as this bakery has been around for quite some time. Try the fresh-made pizza, or the ricotta calzone for a quick/delicious treat! Take home the sausage or chocolate bread to enjoy during the week. They also make amazing Italian Subs, as well as baked platters. Do not miss!

Word don't do this place justice. Second Street is the BEST of the best. I can't leave there without a couple bag full of their breads, sandwiches, and rolls. A true staple of Jersey City.

This place has been around way, way, way before you were born. Do yourself a favor and get a sausage bread, bring it home, slice it up, warm it in the toaster oven. Slather with butter and mangia! You'll feel like Tony Soprano.

Love this little spot! Sandwiches and baked goods were absolutely delicious! Can't wait to stop by again!

My go-to: Chocolate bread+ Bergen sandwich. I go in the morning when they're as fresh as it gets (still good later in the day).

What a place. As good as any deli in Jersey City, a city plentiful with high quality deli options. From what I've gathered, getting there early is the move as they quickly run out of fresh breads and other menu items. I stopped in around 1-2pm, and, despite the limited options, I knew I came to the right place. I ordered a hot pastrami and Swiss sandwich as well as a hot roast beef w/ mutz and gravy. $6 sandwiches! Unreal value. The sandwiches were incredible. I cannot wait to go back in the morning for the full experience. And the woman working behind the counter was a true delight. Older Italian woman, writing down orders with a dull pencil on a ripped piece of loose leaf paper. A perfect, timeless system. LOVE it.

This spot has been chillin' in the cut like peroxide. Off the beaten path lies this gem of a bakery. Right next to Antique...I swear ya'll related cuz I go in there too and drop $20 on carbs like it ain't no thing. I want to hate this place for the hours, but the hours make it this elusive prize open from 9 AM to 2 PM. Impossible for a school teacher like myself during the week to get to. But thanks to remote learning, anything is possible. Get one of everything.
