Newark is about a dozen accounts across the city: Downtown and Broad Street, the North Ward along Bloomfield Avenue and Mount Prospect, the West Side and University Heights, the South Ward, and the Dayton and airport side (07102, 07103, 07104, 07108 and 07114). Early Bird Baker is a family-run wholesale distributor in Passaic, NJ, in business since 1985.
Two trucks reach Newark every night. Our Union County truck takes part of the city between about 11:45 PM and 1 AM; the Hudson County truck works the rest between about 2 and 4:45 AM. Seven mornings a week, Sunday included, so a Sunday breakfast rush on Broad Street is covered the same as a Tuesday.

Who we serve in Newark
Delis and cafés lead the Newark book, with bagel shops and markets behind them. Kaiser rolls are the most-ordered item in the city, then jumbo bagels in plain, everything and raisin, eight-inch hero loaves and Portuguese rolls — Newark orders more Portuguese rolls than anywhere else we go — followed by coffee rolls, danish and other pastries for the counter case.
The morning in Newark
Newark at 3 AM means loading docks behind Broad Street offices, side doors on Bloomfield Avenue, and corner stores that want the delivery inside a gate. Our drivers know each stop's arrangement, and every drop is logged in our driver app the moment it lands. A store near the airport and a café in University Heights are on the same truck, so a change to one order does not move anyone else's slot.

- Locally baked daily — never frozen mass-market product.
- Early-morning delivery — stocked before you open.
