Braid Bakery

Without hyperbole, Braid Bakery makes the best babka I’ve had in my life. It’s freshly made to your order, it’s light, it’s soft, it’s just a delightful loaf. I recommend the cinnamon and walnut one, but they also have chocolate. They also have weekly Friday loafs, which are so light, but also hearty. The loaf is covered is a variety of interesting toppings that I’ve never had atop a challah before, but are certainly additive. To order from Braid, you need to go online at least one day ahead; you’ll be picking it up from basically just a house, but there’s some signage. The babka loaf is worth the (light) hassle, I promise!

The best babka I've ever had. Incredible texture, chocolate quality, and baking skills on presentation here. I would go so far to say this babka is an achievement on the levels of the great SF bakeries (Tartine, Jane, b. patisserie). As an at home chef, I know how hard making things to scale can be and I commend the owner for scaling something this special. Had a picnic with the babka pie, cake, and rolls. Cardamom, chocolate and hazelnut, and pumpkin. My personal favorite was the chocolate but everyone in my group had a different favorite. You can't go wrong at this wonderful bakery!

The last time I had babka was in Miami few years ago at a renowned bakery called Zak the baker. Ever since then I get really excited about babka when I go to a baker but nothing has lived up to the hype till I tried this one at Braid. I was really skeptical about trying the new baker with no storefront but it lived up to the hype. The freshly babka tasted amazing with gooey chocolate and hazelnuts in the cake. Definitely recommend if you're willing to pre order and wait for a couple of days which isn't convenient.

Amazing Babka, and delicious sandwiches. All the portions are very generous. You just need to order ahead. Definitely worth it!

Tried the 6 mini babka box and it was so good!! Loved the pink praline and walnut cinnamon!

Absolutely love it! It’s like a hidden bakery speakeasy!

Beautiful and super tasty sandwiches with nice and fluffy brioche bread. I also had a strawberry pie of the highest standard.

Got their chocolate hazelnut babka from Other Avenues. It was fluffy but also rich and dense with chocolate, with a soft golden top. Every bite was perfect. Best babka in memory.

This place is a 10mm out of 10 bro. GET IT you won't regret it - best thing to blow thru the Sunset

I was expecting something amazing after seeing them all over social media. I got all sweet breads since there was only one savory item and I don't like blue cheese. The Nutella bread was my favorite. Unfortunately the chocolate chip one was burnt on the bottom, they offered to replace it. I honestly thought it was ok, not amazing. I would try a savory item since they are so close to me.

First babka and it couldn't have been a better experience! Ordering online is super simple. Easy pickup as well since there's a sign once you get there for convenience! I love that the flavors change with the seasons. Can't wait to try more goodies!

Love this bakery when I'm craving all the babka and challah sandwiches! It's rare to come across a bakery that has delicacies like this in the city, so would recommend at least stopping by to check out the offerings. I like that they have a good enough range of bakery goods to get a gauge-three different kinds of sandwiches, four different kinds of pastries!

I am feel spoiled that there are so many incredible bakeries popping up in the outer sunset! Braid bakery is a must try. I got their savory babka and Madeleine. This is the first time I've had a freshly made Madeline, and it was so refreshing, light, and wonderfully lemony! I'm just waiting for their next pop-up to have it again. The savory babka was also good, and tasted like pizza. All the food comes quick and the line moves fast. I can't wait to try more of their items next time!
