Montclair’s Best Bread Since 1967
Nicolo's Italian Bakery & Deli has been baking fresh bread daily in Montclair for nearly 60 years. We use only fresh, all-natural ingredients in all of our bread, pastries, sauces, sandwiches, and more. Come stop by our bakery and see for yourself why we’ve been the neighborhood favorite for over five decades.


For Locals and Restaurants
Using all-natural ingredients and old-world techniques, our hand-made specialty breads are North Jersey’s number one choice. From rustic loaves to sandwich breads, every loaf is crafted with care, with the same recipes as the day we opened our doors.
Unspeakably Good.
Our Kaiser rolls and other small breads are baked fresh daily, delivering that perfect chew and soft interior you crave. Whether it’s for breakfast, a hearty sandwich, or in a basket at your favorite local restaurant, our small breads bring quality to every bite.Â

What Are You Hungry For?
We’re proud to craft the best sandwiches in Montclair, made with premium meats, cheeses, fresh vegetables, and our famous bread. Whether you’re grabbing lunch or feeding a crowd, each sandwich is packed with bold flavors and made with love.
Attention to detail
From buttery croissants and fruit-filled turnovers to flaky sfogliatella and our famous cookies, our case is packed with tasty treats. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon treat alongside an espresso, there’s a pastry here for everyone to love.
Like Grandpa Used to Make
We are proud to craft our fresh mozzarella in-house every day, using only the finest ingredients and traditional methods. Enjoy it piled onto one of our sandwiches or purchase a ball to take home for the fridge.
