Where Tradition Meets Taste!

Tilda's Bake Shop has been a beloved fixture in the Rocky Point community since 1955, and our journey is steeped in the rich traditions of the Reinwald family. Our story begins with a small local bakery founded by Ernie Kasten, where the irresistible aroma of freshly baked goods quickly captured the hearts of the beach community. As the years went by, Tilda's became more than just a bakery; it became a cherished part of the vibrant Rocky Point landscape.

In 1980, Tilda's found its new custodian in Edward Maher, a visionary baker who recognized the growing needs of the expanding town. With tireless dedication and innovative spirit, Edward transformed this small beachside gem into a thriving cornerstone of the North Fork. Over the course of four decades, Tilda's expanded its horizons by acquiring neighboring properties and continuously evolving to meet the demands of its loyal patrons.

In early 2019, Edward Maher entrusted the legacy of Tilda's Bake Shop to the capable hands of Dan Reinwald, a fourth-generation baker with deep roots in the tradition of creating mouthwatering delights. The Reinwald family's baking lineage spans generations, with Dan's grandfather having worked alongside the original owner, Ernie Kasten, shortly after Tilda's first opened its doors. This rich history of baking excellence carried forward, with the Reinwald family establishing several successful bakeries from the Bronx to Huntington.

Dan Reinwald, the current owner, is not only a custodian of Tilda's but a passionate torchbearer of the Reinwald family's baking heritage. When the opportunity to take the reins of Tilda's arose, he knew it was a calling he couldn't resist. His dedication to preserving our time-honored baking traditions, paired with his commitment to the Rocky Point community, ensures that Tilda's Bake Shop will continue to be the go-to destination for delectable, quality treats.
