Sterns is a kosher bakery in the New York City area. It is a family run bakery, started in Hungary, but moved to the United States in 1949.
The bakery makes sliced breads and challah, buns, bagels, and pita, plus tons of cakes (roll cakes, bundts, layer cakes, babka cakes), all the pastries (donuts, danishes, muffins, cupcakes, cookies, rugelach), and cheesecakes.
In addition to the bakery fresh items, they have several more stable product lines: Pastry To Go is boxed family sized individually wrapped smaller (1 ounce) snack cakes (akin to Little Debbie/Drake's, etc), Munchbreak is individually wrapped convenience store style boxes of slightly bigger (3 ounce) items, and Fresh To Go is the larger (5-6 ounce), clamshell packaged pastries. It is one of the Fresh To Go items that I tried.

"In 2012, Stern's unveiled the Pastry to Go product line, a revolutionary moment in the cake industry. Individually wrapped for convenience, these pastries became a clean and delicious go-to snack, bringing taste and tradition into the hands of consumers."
I tried a Fresh To Go item, which is the style of something you'd find in a convenience store that is sorta trying to look like it has fresh bakery items. This product line has muffins, danishes, turnovers, and a few desserts (classic black and white cookies, napoleon)
They make all your standard muffins: chocolate chip, corn, blueberry, plus some very dessert-like ones such as cappuccino, chocolate cream cheese, or cappuccino cream cheese. All are 4", 5 ounce muffins, although they make minis too.

| Blueberry Muffin. |
"A 4” vanilla-based blueberry muffin that is crisp on the outside and moist on the inside."
The blueberry muffin is definitely a cake masquerading as a breakfast item style, sweet, vanilla cake base. It was fairly moist, didn't taste overly full of chemicals or processing. Fairly average. It had some big blueberries in it, well distributed and not clumped together, but not nearly as many as I'd hope to see. A tiny bit of streusel on top that I liked, but again, not as much as I'd want. It was "fine". 3/5
They consider this 2.5 servings, and like many muffins, it was ~600 calories if you ate the whole thing.
