Babka, babka, babka. If the cheesecake one is available, get that.
Lauren DowningAugust 2, 2013I don't know what's on it, but the vegan sandwich is pretty fantastic and enormous!
The best service and the chocalate babka is seriously the best in the city.
The almond croissants are the best you will ever have!
Claudia ColonnaOctober 16, 2015Babka and cheese straws of course! Amazing! Marzipan challah not worth the money- not bad but nothing special for 18 bucks!
Sarah F. ParsonsFebruary 25, 2014The rye breads are 7.50$. And not different from the bigger Eli's Health Loaf! For 4.50$!
Mike FriedlichDecember 15, 2016The 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.
Shuang LiangOctober 13, 2019Had 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.
scott ...August 11, 2017Be careful if you have a nut allergy. The highly praised chocolate babka has hazelnuts in it.
I read in the summary of tips that people say this place is cheap. That is false. Great food. VERY expensive.
ISJuly 11, 2013Not 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!
Have I mentioned how divine the chocolate babka is? Get it. That's all. Carry on.- Really amazing chocolate rugelach. White focaccia is also superb.
Most of their bread is on sale ($4/loaf) every night starting at 7.
Daniel Marco FernandezOctober 16, 2016I didn't like the plain croissants. The ones w/ chocolate were pretty good.
Amanda HuDecember 11, 2016Babka was dense and chocolatey. Wish it were a little larger but I suppose moderation is key.
The ForestJune 28, 2014Their Financier dessert is absolutely delightful. No crumbs left to photograph.
