"A good rule of thumb: If it’s a holiday, assume that Breads Bakery has something you want to order. They'll have Thanksgiving items—like their babka pie—available in store for purchase between November 12-November 24. Check out their holiday menu FAQs for details on different locations and hours." - hannah albertine, carina finn koeppicus, molly fitzpatrick
"In addition to latkes with apple sauce and sour cream, Breads Bakery is selling sufganiyot boxes by the dozen or half-dozen, with filling flavors like strawberry jam, chocolate with Nutella, coconut lime, and yuzu-basil-infused custard. You can place your order for pick-up or delivery at their Union Square or Lincoln Center locations online until Sunday, December 5th. The website says that a dozen feeds twelve people, but you don’t hang out with twelve people anymore, and, even if you did, that would mean you’re only trying one donut (unlikely)." - hannah albertine
"No matter if your family’s seder consists of reading every single page of the haggadah in Hebrew or discussing Audre Lorde quotes like you’re all enrolled in a college seminar, there should be flourless chocolate cake present. In addition to FCC, Breads Bakery has other flourless cookies and cakes available for pick-up and delivery like almond joy macaroons and fruit tarts. You can also order some Passover staples a la carte like matzo brei, matzo ball soup, gefilte fish with horseradish, and charoset - and the entire Passover feast that feeds 4-6 people for $295. Pre-order for pick-up or delivery through their website here." - hannah albertine
"Tradition is nice and all, but we think it’s OK to live a little and order hamantaschen filled with mozzarella, parmesan, and walnut pesto. We have no evidence that the fine people of Breads Bakery weren’t sober when they came up with the concept for pizza hamantaschen, but we also have no evidence against it. You can pick up Breads’ savory and sweet Purim specials until Sunday, February 28th at their stores on the UWS and near Union Square - they also have delivery options you can order online here." - hannah albertine
"Looking for a solo breakfast on a bench somewhere? Breads Bakery’s Lincoln Center location is less than a block from the park, which means your iced coffee will still be freezing cold, and your freshly made croissants and babka will still be warm by the time you find a sunny place to sit with exactly zero people nearby." - hannah albertine
