Del Buono’s Bakery

UPDATE
QUALITY LATELY HAS BEEN TERRIBLE AND SIZE OF ROLLS HAS SHRUNK THEY HAVE QUICKENED COOKING PROCESS … QUANTITY OF ITEMS AVAILABLE HAS DIMINISHED. PRETZELS USUALLY FROZEN DEFROSTED. NEVER HAVE DONUTS ON WEEKENDS ANYMORE
extremely convenient and was a minimum twice a week go to for me… until the sudden change of ownership after all these decades .
I still go once a week on average… but it’s easy to see that the quality has changed since an owner of some chain pizza stores purchased them.
quite often there the other items they sell such as pizza bread and regular and stuffed pretzels are defrosted frozen rather than fresh.
the store is clean and bright… they barely utilize half the space they have… I am surprised they don’t bring in many more products that they offer in the Haddon Township main plant… it has been well over a year since I have seen donuts in there… and since a many Dunkin Donuts opened a few doors down I doubt we will ever see them again.

While I’ve eaten the rolls from this store previously (and thought they were «OK»). Today I went personally to purchase some rolls for a party.
All the rolls are self-​serve in large bins. There are small signs reminding you to use wax paper to pick out the rolls. DESPITE THAT, the woman in front of me was using her bare hands to pick through the rolls, tossing back the ones that didn’t seem soft enough. She must have touched at least 50% of all the rolls in the bin.
I thought about how many other customers did the same thing… and i left the store. They need to pre-​package these rolls in bags, and just allow to buy by the dozen, or provide tongs… something. Or, at the very least, patrol that a little better. I thought it was gross. Never going back.
