(page 3 of 8)

BEST BAKERY

1 Calandra’s Italian and French Bakery

244 Route 46 East, Fairfield, 973.227.5008.

You love breaking bread with the Calandra family, the tribe that has been behind this old-fashioned bakery for more than 40 years. The dough? Worked by hand. The ingredients? Always fresh. Sweet-tooth voters gave two powdered sugar-covered thumbs up for the
specialty cakes, pastries, gelatos and sorbets.

2 The Bread Company 113 Walnut St., Montclair, 973.509.2525

3 Gina’s Bakery 110 Walnut St., Montclair, 973.233.1010

BEST ORGANIC/HEALTH FOOD SHOPS

1 Grassroots Natural Market

20 First Ave., Denville, 973.627.5440

A health nut’s heaven, Grassroots offers fresh produce at supermarket-low prices. It’s all about the local vibe, from the outdoor seating to the butcher manning the all-natural deli. Residents kick back at the coffee and juice bars. But moms on the move are equally at home, grabbing Amy’s entrees from the freezer.
