Meredith ZinkMarch 7, 2015Of course it's all about the babka here but I also love their fresh salads for lunch, the beet lentil is my favorite!
Eduardo RamirezMay 31, 2022The chocolate babka is a MUST. Be warned that if you buy the whole loaf you may end up eating more than you expect in one sitting.
Nikki PalumboJuly 23, 2013What to get: frittata sandwich, with the works, $14.95. Herby Italian omelette on foot-long baguette, with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, mild Gouda, cream cheese, smoked salmon, chives.
Alex RobertsonJuly 31, 2017get your girl the flourless coconut cake. one for $15 but two for $17 (??)
Annie TolochinskiJune 25, 2015So so good! Try their babka - they usually cut it up in little pieces so you can decide if you like it enough to buy a while loaf, you will.
TV Food MapsFebruary 23, 2015Check out Bread's Bakery as it was featured on Unique Sweets for sweet, pillowy marzipan challah that's simply to die for and theirs a chocolate lover's dream Read more
Everything is good here - breakfast sandwich is awesome, cheese straws are delicious, and obviously... the babka.
kate kudishAugust 6, 2013Best customer service, hands down. This place is fantastic - cant go wrong with anything but almond croissant and frittata sandwich are amazing.
Chris LApril 17, 2014Breads’ version of Babka tastes less like dried-out coffee cake and more like challah French Toast, delicately striped with super-high quality chocolate.
Chocolate babka is amazing. Sufgonyot were too bread-y w not enough filling.
My favorite bakery in New York. The babka is nothing short of divine, and the other treats are excellent as well.
Best bakery near Union square, get that breakfast frittata and then grab babka to go
RajOctober 1, 2018It’s true, yummy chocolate bubka! The seating arrangements are sub optimal, however, as is the queuing system. Surely easy enough to fix?
Come here for breakfast, lunch or a snack. All baked goods are delicious and so are espresso drinks.
BuzzFeedApril 11, 2014Not your grandmother’s babka. Breads’ version tastes less like dried-out coffee cake and more like challah French Toast, delicately striped with super-high quality chocolate.
Daniel L.July 5, 2013Frittata breakfast sandwich is everything you could want: herby omelet, foot long baguette, tomato, cucumber, Gouda, cream cheese, smoked salmon, and chives.
margaret tungMay 14, 2015on a budget? here's a protip: artisanal breads are happy hour priced in the evenings. found this deal via pareup (http://apple.co/1ONDBys)
HankMay 29, 2017Delicious, but soooo overpriced. $8 for a slice of cheesecake! I could buy a whole cake for just a dollar or so more that's just as good!
This place is baked goods galore. Rugelach are a must but you really cant go wrong. The cheese sticks are also to die for.
Rebecca MazzaMarch 6, 2016The Nutella babka is so amazing it's dangerous. Pretty sure I could eat the whole loaf in one sitting
Wow!!! Great selection, try the jerusalm sticks, chocolate rogalch or the yummy babka of course
AdrienMay 14, 2016You can freeze the Nutella Babka, but you can also eat it all in one shot. Delicious
Elizaveta T.October 6, 2015We (2of us) gobbled chocolate babka in 6 minutes. That was an absolute record. Where were our brains? In heaven.
Michael G.February 21, 2023The babka and cakes are delicious and great gifts. Skip the breakfast sandwiches
Yorkville AdvisorsFebruary 15, 2018One of my favorite bakery's in all of Manhattan. The chocolate babka is amazing here!
Nathalie AnayaJanuary 25, 2014I've had a plethora of Spanish maids who have made ehh, okay lentil soup but I swear Breads Bakery has their lentils shipped from lentil land in Latin America. Delish!
Go close to closing time for a chance at a 50 cent baguette.
Joury IbrahimNovember 5, 2016Got the mini chocolate rugelach from Bryant Park kiosk. It was alright. A little bit too sweet for me. It will be perfect with a black coffee!
Alon BurgAugust 18, 2013Cheese straws, feta and goat cheese burekas, rugalach, almond croissant all fresh and will turn you into the happiest person on the block
Nitzan BNovember 24, 2016Big bakery, tons of good stuff. A little on the expensive side but worth it
Hard to put into words how unbelievable this place is. Come for the babka, but stay for literally everything else.
marcy stoneMay 30, 2013Didn't have time to stay but will definitely be back. Looks fabulous and the babka and bureka are delicious
