The chocolate babka also has hazelnut in it; so, you're essentially eating a nutella brioche. There is nothing wrong with this conclusion.
Bryan TamakloeJanuary 13, 2016Great staff, really good pastry and bread, so happy to find this special place.
Brings me back to days working in an old school German bakery...babka! Poppyseeds! Yaaaasss
Ben HaddockOctober 4, 2016Highly recommend. The coffee, croissants and pain au raisins are delicious!
SarahNovember 15, 2014I always get the marzipan rugelach when they have it. It's delicious. Decent iced coffee as well.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾February 2, 2015Yummy sandwiches and salads. A little busy around lunch but the staff is great.
Greg AvolaJuly 27, 2014Amazing breads and pastries - they have a little sandwich shop in the back, that has coffee (regular/iced).
The sweets are incredible. Rugalle for sure but don't skip the savory treats!!
CompassApril 25, 2014Israeli Uri Scheft brought his exquisite rugelach, challah, and tarts to a bakery near Union Square.
Kate FurmanMay 19, 2015Chocolate babka is good but almost too sweet. You can get a pack of two for $20.
This is a new league in baking. They simply have the best breads you can find in NYC.
Protip: you can order coffee from the front counter, great way to save time rather than wait in the back
Whitney FishmanDecember 22, 2014One of the only places with sufganiot during hannukkah! Get there early they sell out quick!
Best babka ever. Period. Cinnamon is mind blowing. Chocolate is delish too.
If the red-haired cashier is in the back and she says she'll bing your food to you, do not leave the counter. She will forget you!
Liz LenahanOctober 2, 2014Amazing sandwiches and breads. Also love the free samples and friendly staff
I had a 5 dollar granola yoghurt and I was not expecting the hazelnut, it was a powerful and soothing experience. Try it.
Ben FishnerJune 3, 2015Olive bread. All the bread. And obviously the babka, though some of the other pastries can be more hit or miss.- The team in the back has been rocking it for the past few weeks! And the quiches are always superb.
- Yoni ZloczewskiAugust 24, 2015Beyond the babka the bourekas are pretty good and the Danishes are solid
Aaron ColmanOctober 26, 2013Just one of those places where you want to try it all! Everything is great.
Thisjustinian MOctober 14, 2018If you can get one, the chocolate almond croissant is extremely good.
Lea CeasrineMarch 4, 2015Best baguettes around. If you have calories to spare, indulge in babka + amazing challah!
RafeNovember 29, 2014Their cinnamon roll reminds me of a kouign amann ... flaky and sugary, almost custardy in the middle.
Jen AxelrodFebruary 1, 2013Just opened.. incredible breads, cookies, rugelach, snacks and coffee. Friendly service. Good luck!
The chocolate chip cookies are better than the ones at City Bakery. There, I said it!
Great addition to the neighborhood. Whatever your bakery pleasure, you'll find it here.
