Iconic bakery known for its exceptional chocolate babka & pastries
"A New York favorite known for its babka, croissants, and seasonal favorites: Look for take-away items like sesame challah or Parmesan cookies, or sit down at the cafe for soups, sandwiches, and salads." - Melissa McCart
"The Rockefeller Center location of this Israeli bakery has grab-and-go items like salads and sandwiches. But the only reason we come here is for the baked items—especially the chocolate babka that reminds us of gooey cookie dough straight out of the oven with warm layers of chocolate pudding folded in. Other favorites include the cinnamon roll (basically a cinnamon croissant), the bureka filled with herbs and mashed potatoes, and the soft cheese straws topped with burnt cheese." - bryan kim, will hartman, hannah albertine, kenny yang
"The bakery best known for their chocolate babka is also home to a luxurious hot chocolate that, in founder Gadi Peleg’s words, is meant to taste like a bar of melted chocolate. Bread’s offering is one of the simplest recipes, combining chocolate, milk, and salt, and is the one of the few which is allowed to crystallize overnight to deepen the chocolate flavor. Breads suggests dipping the bakery’s challah bread as a complement." - John Tsung
"In New York City I sampled a laminated, chocolate‑and‑Nutella–forward babka at Breads Bakery, a perennial favorite that showcases an elevated, New York‑style take on the Eastern European loaf." - Arati Menon, Megan Spurrell
"With multiple locations, bakery favorite Breads offers potato latkes, one for $3, six for $13, and 12 for $27. Pre-orders have opened." - Eater Staff
