Best Bakeries Around Boston | Eater Boston

"Hidden in a tiny basement in Newton’s Piccadilly Square, just around the corner from Salt, Rosenfeld’s is a Jewish bakery paradise. Bagels by the dozen, chocolate and cinnamon babka, challah, and copious amounts of smoked fish and schmear, Rosenfeld’s has been doing it all in the same tradition for 50 years. (So, no, you won’t find jalapeño bagels here.) The bakery was opened in 1973 by Marc Rosenfeld, and is now owned and operated by Mike Lombardo. Rosenfeld’s continues to produce freshly boiled bagels with a perfectly chewy interior in all the classic varieties like marble rye, sesame, and potato. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Rosenfeld’s is known for their famous whole wheat challah, bialys, and specialties such as hamantaschen and round challahs during the high holidays." - Katie Draisen
