R & M Bakery

Excellent donuts and great prices. We’ll be back! The chocolate tastes like chocolate and not just sugar.

R&M Bakery is the epitome of corner bakery. On the corner of Mt. Vernon & Shields, this place produces some proper cakes. I volunteered to pick up the cake for my BFF’s birthday while her husband ran point in the kitchen for breakfast in bed. While the cake side of the business is closed on Sundays — they were able to arrange for us to pick it up next door at the doughnut shop outpost of R&M.
While I had heard rumblings of this ‘amazing coconut cake’ all weekend, nothing will ever describe it well enough until you have your first bite. The cake was moist, somehow dense & light at the same time (magic, I tell you), the right balance of frosting to cake and exploding with coconut flavor. I feel so bad that we went through it so fast, we should have gotten her two.
Newark is very blessed to have this fabulous family bakery in their backyard. I don’t know if they deliver, but I know who I can call to coordinate special treats for a special family.

A mom and pop bakery that has been holding strong for over 20 years. The cut outs are a hometown favorite, the icing is great, the cookies are thick and the cut out is based on the season. A great idea to take to any gatherings or parties. The donuts are wonderful, red velvet with chocolate icing, yes please. This is on my list of places to stop when I «go home».

Stopped in to pick up some small gifts for a business meeting. R&M Plus was able to pull together 14 sets of truffles in individual boxes. Not only did they save the day, the Buckeyes and cookies are phenomenal. I also agree with the other comments. The parking is very small — definitely worth trying to find a parking spot!

Although the building is old, the parking lot is small, this is the place to go for baked goods. 9 times out of 10 the donuts taste as fresh as they get, Iv often times had them while they were still warm. I do not care for the cookies but I drive across town for the donuts, they are that good.

Love this bakery! Don’t let the building detour you from trying them! The parking lot is very small, you may need to park off street on shields.
Sugar cookies are excellent! They are thick and crumbly with a sweet icing/​glaze on top.
Donuts always taste fresh. I recommend the long johns, the cream filling is sweet, light and fluffy.
The baklava is great too, definitely worth a try.
Order ahead for bday cakes! You will not be disappointed! Way better than Kroger or Walmart cakes!
Only 4 star because they really need to remodel! It’s been that way since I can remember!
