History

Established in 1930.

In the 1930’s, Ralph Vaccaro opened the Washington Street Bakery in the Italian district of Elizabeth, NJ shortly after immigrating from Italy. In 1954, Ralph closed the Washington Street Bakery and opened Vaccaro’s Bakery with his son Vincent in Colonia, NJ. When Ralph retired, Vincent and his wife Catherine took over operations, growing an establishment loved and adorned by the local community and customers across New Jersey.

Expanding on the family tradition, Vincent and Catherine’s oldest son, Vinny, and soon to be wife, Eileen opened a second location in Clark, NJ on October 3, 1974, just 6 months before their wedding! This is the Vaccaro’s bakery that we know and love today. Both businesses continued to operate until the Colonia location closed in 2009 with Catherine’s retirement.
