When I say fresh I mean it was baked just a few minutes ago. Neighbors smell the goodness and buy immediately. High demand and low supply for this award winning pop shop. A hidden gem in Harlem.

A hidden gem in Harlem that might have the best Rugleach in all of the five boroughs. It’s worth the trip to enjoy the flaky and slightly crunch delight filled with raisins and cinnamon.

If you make a daytime visit to Harlem's burgeoning new restaurant row, make sure to stop by Lee Lee's Baked Goods to experience their friendly service and try some of their world class rugelach.

Forget Passover and get an order in quick! If the Jews in your nabe frequent a bakery for one item that is a requirement in their festive culture, you know it's worth a taste. Must have them warm!

The chocolate Rugelach is absolutely addicting!

People saying these are the best rugelach in the world or NYC need to get out more. They're very decent. Go to Breads Bakery for the best. Who puts nuts in chocolate rugelach?!
