Mack, I remember it as Bob's Cake Box also. I'm not sure if it was another bakery at one time.
Do any of you remwmber Kramer"s Bakery off Lamberton St. on a side street near the river. This was wholesale, but could be retail. Absolutly the best hard rolls ( think Taylor ham, cheese/egg).
Absolutely the best bagels, salt sticks and rye bread with seeds. My Dad and I went everyday to get these hot before dinner.
I remember Stosh the Polish baker, taking 18 - 20 ft. peels and placing the loafs to the back of this hugh brick lined oven fired by coal then spraying H2O.
Kramer's Bakery was definitely retail. I think the little side street off of Lamberton St. was Lexington St. The bakery was actually a big garage type building behind a retail store which fronted on Lamberton.
When I was first married in the early 1960s and still living in Trenton, we would drive over to a huge news stand at the corner of Market and Broad,and pick up Sunday's New York Times which was just being delivered by truck. This was about 12:30 AM. We would then head over to Kramer's.The big building was warm and tingly on a cold winter's night. as the ovens were going full tilt. The hot Jewish rye was fresh out of the oven on big trays loaded onto wheeled racks. You could buy one loaf or 50. The baker's knew us and you paid cash. We then drove home, made fresh coffee, ate hot bread and butter, while reading the Times until well into the morning. I still remember the smell of that fresh bread and the warmth of that building. I was driving a 1955 Chevy Bel Air hardtop. Great memories.
It was Shellecks (sp?)before it was Bob's Cake Box
