If you ever wanted to own a bakery, The Gingered Peach is likely the place you dreamed of opening.
It’s cute in a professional, someone-has-given-thought-to-
But the star of the show is the bakery counter. It showcases the sweet, the savory, and a lot of twists on the usual. The pistachio chocolate croissants, for example, which offers a healthy amount of pistachio nuts instead of the usual almonds (although they have those, too).
Then there is what they call their “tribute to the city that makes!” It’s the Trenton Volcano, a brioche bun “stuffed with Case’s pork roll, spinach, cheddar, swiss and topped with everything bagel seasoning.” It’s truly a treat, especially for homegrown folk who know their pork roll.
Prepare for a line out the door in the morning, and be patient, since you, too, will want time to peruse the selections. Of course, the regulars know what they want: popular items include the zucchini bread and cinnamon rolls.
Be sure to finish off your selections with a taste of Caramel Crack. If you weren’t already prepared to go back, this will do it. And now, if you live anywhere Lawrenceville, NJ, you don’t have to open your own bakery. Just frequent the Ginger Peach!
