Anna Bananas Bakery & Candy is a storefront at 657 East Bay Avenue in Manahawkin. According to its website, the baked goods are made fresh daily in the shop, and the same address also houses a candy store.
This is a profile of one business, not a ranking. Everything below comes from annabananasbakerynj.com as we read it on October 23, 2026. The site does not list prices, flavors or founding details, so this article does not either.
What the bakery makes
The website is organized into sections, and the section names show the range of what the shop does: cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies and galettes, party platters and other desserts, wedding cakes, custom cakes, candy and dessert displays. There is also a Thanksgiving order menu on the site.
If you are planning an event, the party platters and dessert displays are the sections to look at first. If you want a single cake for a birthday or a wedding cake, the custom and wedding cake sections are where the bakery points you.
How to place a custom order
The website says custom orders are welcome by email or by phone. It also offers online preorders through the site itself, so you do not have to call to get started.
The bakery asks for notice, and the amount depends on what you are ordering:
- Cakes: preferably a week or more, according to the website.
- Cookies: two weeks or more, depending on the season, according to the website.
- Orders needed in less than 72 hours: call during the shop's operating hours. The website says the bakery will try to accommodate them, which is not the same as a promise.
Email is not instant. The site says replies typically take 24 to 72 hours, depending on the season. If your date is close, a phone call is the faster route.
A few practical notes
Whichever way you order, it helps to have the details ready before you write or call: the date you need the order, roughly how many people it needs to serve, and any allergy concerns. The website does not say how the bakery handles allergens, so ask directly rather than assuming. Having those answers up front also makes a fast reply more likely when the site says email can take a day or three.
The website does not publish the shop's operating hours, and the directory does not have them either. Call before you drive over, especially around holidays, when the order menu and the lead times may change.

Know a bakery we are missing?
Ocean County has many small bakeries and candy shops, and the directory is still growing. If you know one that is not listed, you can suggest a business and we will look at its website before adding it.
