Handcrafted gözleme, bazlama, and pastries from Paterson's 24-hour Turkish bakery on Hazel Street.
At 2 a.m. or 2 p.m., the ovens at Taskin Bakery are running. That's not a marketing line, it's the reality at 103 Hazel St in Paterson, NJ, where the kitchen never goes cold and the tea is always hot. Reviewers consistently say the same thing: walking through the door feels like stepping into Turkey, and the food backs that feeling up completely.
The menu leans deep into Turkish tradition. The spinach bazlama arrives soft and fragrant, and the gözleme is filled and folded to order, crisped on the griddle until the edges catch just enough. Pair either with a glass of hot tea and you've got a meal that costs little and delivers a lot. With over 2,800 customer reviews averaging 4.3 stars, Taskin has built a loyal following across northern New Jersey.
Parking is available in the back, so even a late-night run is easy. The staff is known for genuine warmth, the kind that makes first-time visitors feel like regulars before they've finished their first bite.
Taskin's menu is rooted in Turkish bakery staples done with real care. Gözleme is the star: thin flatbread folded around fillings like spinach, cheese, or meat, then cooked to a golden crisp on a traditional griddle. Bazlama comes out pillowy and warm, perfect on its own or alongside a savory filling.
The pastry case holds baklava and a rotating selection of Turkish sweets, made in-house with layered phyllo and honey. Hot tea is always available and always fresh. Whether you're stopping in for a quick breakfast, a late-night snack, or a full sit-down meal, the kitchen is ready around the clock, every day of the week.
Beyond the food, Taskin functions as a community gathering spot. Locals come in for the familiar flavors, and newcomers leave converted. It's a full-service Turkish bakery and food store, stocking items you won't easily find elsewhere in the Paterson area.
