Salem & Sons Bakery
About this place
Salem & Sons Bakery sits on Palisade Avenue in Union City, running as a true 24-hour operation with an industrial-scale bakery visible just a few feet from where customers order and pay. The smell of fresh bread baking pulls in passersby throughout the day and night, with more than one customer describing being drawn in simply by the aroma while walking to their car nearby.
Bread is the clear foundation of the business, with French and Italian loaves baked fresh and priced noticeably lower than what's found at nearby grocery chains, all while offering far better freshness and flavor according to regulars. The chicken empanadas have built an especially strong reputation, with multiple reviewers calling them the best in Hudson County, and the spinach and cheese empanada described as enormous, fully stuffed, and free of the empty air pockets sometimes found in lesser versions. Pastries, rolls, donuts, and croissants round out the sweeter side of the menu, with portions on the larger side for the price paid.
Long-time customers describe buying bread and pastries here for years without a drop in quality, a rare consistency for a bakery operating at this scale and around the clock. Parking is available for customers, and the bakery has taken visible steps around hygiene, including offering face coverings for sale during heightened health concerns. Given its location convenient to both local residents and travelers passing through Hudson County, and its status as one of the only bakeries in the area open every hour of every day, Salem & Sons Bakery has earned a loyal following well beyond its immediate neighborhood, with some customers specifically planning stops here whenever they're passing through the region. The combination of round-the-clock availability and consistently fresh product has turned what could have been a simple neighborhood bakery into something closer to a local landmark, one that regulars recommend without hesitation to anyone visiting the area. Whether it's a loaf of French bread for dinner or a fresh empanada eaten in the car right after purchase, the bakery's steady quality has made it a trusted stop for anyone in the Union City area looking for baked goods that taste homemade rather than mass-produced.

Their Italian hero breads are outrageously delicious and big! It's tender, chewy, and has a nice soft yet crispy crust. Fantastic neutral flavor. I get them in my local supermarket in nyc for $1.89. Every time I make a sandwich, I use their bread and ppl always rave about it and ask where they can get them. I'm like, at my local supermarket... duh.. but no, they are from here, from jersey, made by an amazing Palestinian immigrant. I didnt realize they make other breads and pastries. Imma have to haul butt to jersey asap! Path goes to all of jersey, right?

Best all around in taste, quality and bang for your buck! Open at anytime of day. The best fresh bread! They have sweet desserts like donuts and croissants that are also huge in size and taste great! I only come when passing through because I live in PA but it’s something I look forward to.
