Located in one of historic Cranbury's most charming Victorian homes, The Blue Rooster Bakery & Café invites you to rediscover a few of life's enduring pleasures -- hand-made breads still warm from the oven; simple meals prepared with fresh, natural ingredients; and a congenial place to gather with neighbors and friends.
Stop
in for a healthy, made-to-order breakfast. Discover
our signature lunches featuring hearty, homemade
soups, gourmet salads and sandwiches. Enjoy custom-roasted
coffees and espresso complemented by our hand-formed breads, mouth-watering
pastries and other old world baked goods.
Join us on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings for supper -- from a hearty meal to our "made-for-sharing" tasting plates. Or, reserve a spot for afternoon tea to celebrate a special occasion or to spend time with special people.
Inspired by European bakeries, gourmet shops and cafés, lovingly translated for our hometown of Cranbury, New Jersey -- the Blue Rooster is your hometown bakery and café.
Make yourself at home.
