Bakery featuring exceptional chocolate babka, croissants, and pastries
"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
"We don’t want to start any civil disobedience among the NYC babka-loving community, but you should also know that Breads Bakery in Union Square and Lincoln Center makes the best version in the city (in addition to all of their other pastries, cookies, and sweets). Okay maybe we do want to start babka-specific civil disobedience." - 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
"A good rule of thumb: If it’s a holiday, assume that Breads Bakery has something you want to order. This Thanksgiving, you can preorder a babka pie. We’ll say it again. A babka pie. Pickup is available at both the Union Square and UWS locations. Breads also has some delivery options, which you can read about here." - hannah albertine, carina finn koeppicus
"Your plan was to find an open park bench and get through an entire Sunday Times, but you’re already running behind and that piece on two startup founders trying to find a $2000 two-bedroom in Soho isn’t going to read itself. One of your best quick options is Breads - a bakery and cafe less than a block off the park on the Upper West Side. Grab coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and definitely try the chocolate babka." - matt tervooren
