    Babka and cheese straws of course! Amazing! Marzipan challah not worth the money- not bad but nothing special for 18 bucks!

    This is a new league in baking. They simply have the best breads you can find in NYC.

    Amazing breads and pastries - they have a little sandwich shop in the back, that has coffee (regular/iced).

    It's good but it's not amazing... You would think with all these reviews it would be very good... It's like an everyday French pastry shop. Maybe I had an average batch?

    The rye breads are 7.50$. And not different from the bigger Eli's Health Loaf! For 4.50$!

    Their cinnamon roll reminds me of a kouign amann ... flaky and sugary, almost custardy in the middle.

    Olive bread. All the bread. And obviously the babka, though some of the other pastries can be more hit or miss.

    A selection of sweet and savory pastries and bread. I just loved it.

    Had a challah,poppy seed roll and a olive&cheese breadstick. The olive one is too salty. Had to say, the three bread I tried is quite disappointing.

    Beyond the babka the bourekas are pretty good and the Danishes are solid

    The Chocolate Babka is great but not quite what I expected. As a lover of all things chocolate, it just wasn't chocolaty enough for me.

    Be careful if you have a nut allergy. The highly praised chocolate babka has hazelnuts in it.

    Not a very good service, sandwich took very long time to come, and when came it was missing a salmon! I was very excited to be here and eat but it wasn't a good experience for me!

    Chocolate babka is good but almost too sweet. You can get a pack of two for $20.
