Breads Bakery

The food is delicious, recommend the feta and spinach. They warm it up and its so flaky. The utensils are a bit fragile so they might break. Ambiance is great, love the vibes in the middle of the city. I suggest you get here early for the quiet vibes, specially during the holidays

Didn’t know where to start in this store. Everything looked so delicious yet, I wasn’t hungry enough for lunch, as I had been noshing all day. I know…rookie mistake! Anyways, I made the adult decision, albeit difficult, to choose only two treats. The rugelach was a great call. This might be the all time best rugelach in New York. Very happy with that decision. We ended up going to their location in Bryant Park later on in our trip because we liked it so much.

The almond croissant and cinnamon roll were delicious. Nice place to chill on a cold winter morning on 6av, next to Rockefeller Center.

OMG some of the BEST bread I’ve had! I was over NYC and needed a real pick me up. I just typed in bread & coffee and Google suggested this spot. Grateful! The cappuccino was effortlessly delicious 🤤 perfect foam. I drank it before I left the restaurant. The cup is small but it’s a classic size so make sure you ask for a double. Food was crazy good… I ordered the Strawberry cream pastry, the mushroom pizza, 3 mini chocolate swirl croissants 🥐 , and a butter croissant. Those mini chocolate ones are so good I literally saved one just to enjoy on the plane ride. Freshly baked, loved and displayed so magically. Thank you 😊 for a great morning and yummy memories.

This place is off the chain insane! Hot. Fresh. Straight out of the oven goodness. Flaky exteriors with perfectly cooked interiors. We tried almost everything here. The cinnamon buns will blow your mind. The challah was perfection. Every single item is perfectly cooked. You cannot go wrong here!

As soon as I got into the store I wanted to try everything! They all look very pretty & taste delicious. Cinnamon roll was excellent & potato burek was amaaaazing!

The Chocolate Rugelach is ridiculously good!!! Can't wait to try the Babka! Update: I’ve since tried, shared, and had some more Babka! Absolutely delicious. It melts in your mouth. So glad my office is across the street!

My wife & I were walking to Avra, we stopped by this place to see what they have only to return after having dinner at the former place. Bought an almond croissant for over $6 & 6 chocolate rugalach for $14. The almond croissant is assembled from a regular croissant by slicing it in half as you would slice a bagel. Then, the almond paste is smeared in between. I didn't believe it was done that way with Maison Keyser or other places. Nevertheless, it's overpriced for lack of effort. The ruglachs look like mini croissants. They were flattened by the time i got them home. But, I didn't try it.

Breads Bakery is a staple for me. Everything I've tried has been great. The almond croissant is incredible. Rugelach outstanding. The chocolate babka is among the elite. Service is terrific and it's a great place to chill and people watch sipping on coffee and enjoying something sweet.

While the customer service is good, the layout of the shop is efficient and annoying. There's no room for customers to wait for their drinks while other customers leave with their orders. There's a lot of trying to squeeze past one another and/or bumping into strangers. The food looks pretty basic and overpriced. I ordered a hot chocolate and it tastes like hot cardboard and it certainly wasn't worth the $8.62 I paid for an 8oz. cup. It is nice, however, that they do carry some gluten-free (GF) options. I won't be back. Happy eats!

Popped in to cheat on my diet to grab some goodies on the way to a conference and wasn't disappointed! I got a cheese roll (flaky yet mild), fruit cup (standard), a chai latte (SO GOOD), and a lemon cake (TBD). The staff was so kind and even offered complimentary apple pie while we were waiting in line to be serviced (I've had better but it was moist). This is a beautiful and welcoming store. Appreciate how kind the staff treated everyone!

When this first opened, my thought was "Great....just what we need. Another BAKERY !!" But it's NOT just another bakery. It's fantastic. Offering many types of breads (Hence the name). Sweet and savory selections. Sandwiches; breakfast & lunch. Coffee. Salads too ! They have afternoon in-store tastings / samples on a regular basis. The best almond croissants in the city, the only chocolate babka you need to buy (in midtown). One thing not to pass up is their Black & White cookie. They aren't those thick, plastic wrapped belly bombs, that you know so well. These are made with flaky pastry and the frosting would make a Belgium Chocolatier sigh. I can't decide which side is better, even though I eat about 3 a week (for the past year)

Stopped by Breads Bakery for a quick breakfast - a cheese straw. The cheese straw was really good and not too oily. I also bought a chocolate babka to take home with me as I read a lot of good reviews about it, but it was actually quite dry and dense by the time we ate it, which was the evening of the day I bought it, which was quite disappointing.

Delicious plain croissant and original basque cheesecake. A few seats, nice ambiant music and free water mean that I'll plan to return.

So many options looked delicious, but I only picked three since it was just me. The service is fast and friendly. They have a few tables where you can sit, but most people seem to grab and go. I had the delightful cheese stick that I devoured right away. I waited until I got to my room to eat the egg scramble sandwich with the most delicious sesame bread. I also got a croissant because they have an award for it. If I needed lunch on the go, this would be a great spot to grab a takeaway salad or sandwhich... I can't remember everything in the premade cooler.

I love Breads Bakery. We visited the location at Rockefeller Center this last time we were in NYC. The chocolate almond croissant was as good as I remembered. We also got the chocolate babka this time and it was also great. Their selection of savory items also look tempting, but we'll have to save them for the next time!

We just happened upon this place while visiting as we were looking for somewhere with breakfast sandwiches. We came a few times throughout our trip and found a few of our favorites -- the Babka and the Burekas. The down side, we found, was that their online menu was limited as they were never sure what they would have in stock if you tried to order ahead of time.

For a quick lunch this fits the bill. In the middle of Rockefeller Center, after a review of the Easter Parade, I had a quiche, albeit a petite one. Good and light. I prefer having some pork in it, but this was a less greasy quiche. They warmed it up for me. Quick and easy and I was able to get one of the few seats there. A cafe kinda vibe and a nicer fast food than average. I brought the flourless brownie cake home for my gluten-free wife. She approved.

Food - 5, Service - 5, Ambiance - 5 Cute place, a lot more food options than I had expected. We wanted a quick bite, and got the strawberry brioche and the rugelach. And wow these were so delicious. The brioche was so soft and had a good bite. The Rugelach was the perfect size, a perfect dessert/snack without feeling guilty. But really delicious, chocolatey, flakey, not dry, just very satisfying without feeling guilty. I would definitely go again to try other things. I feel confident that their other offerings would be just as delicious.

This is a great place to grab dessert! They have a pretty good selection of pastries, but I usually come here for the chocolate babka and the chocolate rugelach. This time around, I just got a few rugelaches and the strawberry brioche. The rugelach is delicious, and it has great chocolate flavor. It is perfectly soft and flakey. The strawberry brioche was surprisingly really good as well, and it was very soft and the cream was tasty. The strawberries paired with it very nicely. This is one of my go to places in NYC for dessert, and I will definitely be back!

My son bought me a poppyseed babka from your bakery . I heard it was new item and a Martha Stewart recipe . I love everything I have had previously . This babka hardly had any filling . The inside of it had no taste at all. It was the furthest thing from a babka I ever tasted. I have never been disappointed before with anything I had . This was a total waste of money .

This place is delicious but their Chocolate Babka sells out in the morning but I settled on a cheese bread stick. The other food options look so tasty and it is a nice sit down place. There are chairs and tables and very basic but needed in Rockefeller Center! Staff are friendly and available to answer questions. There is a ton of staff at this location too

Still a bit hit or miss when visiting. Good croissant and cheese straw but also just as good as many other places. Expensive in comparison but typical of the neighborhood.

Delicious sandwiches. The egg salad & scrambled egg were both fantastic on a super soft bun. Pleasant staff. Great choice for an on-the-go breakfast.

Chai latte - its a pass for me. They use a liquid concentrate to mix Muesli bread - very filling, lots of seeds and raisins. Yum! The tiny chocolate croissants - so delicious. It stayed relatively crunchy and moist on the inside even after a couple of days. But when you eat them when it's fresh, oh gosh. The texture is very intact. Service is hit or a miss. Sometimes workers would be cranky or sometimes they'll be very happy and friendly. Ambiance is clean, fast paced. Need to their their babka soon! 8.3/10

I admit I was hesitant to come to a place with multiple locations, but this place is phenomenal. Great bakery - amazing croissant, jeruseum bagel + labneh, and you MUST try the chocolate babka. It's a perfect fusion of nutella (?) Chocolate and babka crunch. Highly recommend for all those bakery lovers.

Much like that Seinfeld episode, one day I attempted to purchase a chocolate babka but Breads Bakery had sold out of their popular signature offering. Despite the availability of apple babkas (I won't call it a lesser babka), I consoled myself with a chocolate chip cookie ($4.50) which was okay. So many baked goods in the case, both sweet and savory, looked delicious. When I eventually returned to a wealth of chocolate babkas ($16.95 each) on the shelf, I discovered that it really truly was a standout. It was surprisingly heavier and bigger than I expected. The Nutella and chocolate were plentiful; it was kind of like a chocolate croissant in loaf form. Yum. I've been randomly bringing up the babka in conversations days later; that's when you know something's stellar. This Breads Bakery location isn't super spacious but still has several tables. Also, there is no restroom for customers. The woman in front of me was inquiring about one, and the cashier said something about outside around the corner, not exactly sure. Speaking of employees, they all seem very nice and polite and focused on keeping the line moving which was appreciated. I suggest visiting the Breads website to get a sense of their menu and also to get food storage tips and recipes!

Wow! What a sweet selection of breads and cakes served with a variety of coffee. To go breads of all flavors - challah, cakes and black/white cookies. They are kosher friendly. It's very busy and I had to wait several minutes for a table. Seems it's a nice meetup place to rest your tired legs. Good lighting and clean.

This is the newest Breads Bakery location and it is really big and filled with a bunch of yummy goodies! There are a lot of different variety of baked goods to choose from and there are many non-baked good items as well if you're trying to grab lunch in the area (salads, dips, sandwiches, etc). I walk by almost every morning and the smell inside is heavenly. I got the chocolate babka that everyone around me has complimented and I can totally see why it has so much hype. The chocolate babka is not too sickenly sweet and it has a hint of coconut? (or perhaps it is vanilla?) that helps to cut through some of the sweetness. Chocolate is infused throughout the soft light bread and it is amazing! Service was straightforward and fast.

This is a newer (at least to me) location of Breads. I enjoyed the same tasty baked goods I had experienced at their UES location--yum! In addition to the baked goods, they had some prepared items and a slate of different hot and cold beverages (including 3 different kinds of iced tea.) They don't have much seating here other than a small bench in the window, so this is more of a grab-and-go place.

Nice, clean, organized store with many choices and ample seating. Ordered a salmon on rye breakfast and a coffee and they were both excellent. Definitely a place I would return.

Bought a almond croissant for a quick snack. Imthe croissant was flaky well baked but what i did nkt lot liked wa that the almond oaste was far too sweet for my taste. I did oair it with a cup of black coffe me but even at that point tha almond ostenwas overly sweetened for my taste, great texture on the croissant itself but i would not get it again. I an sure the regular croissant must be awesome. My wife bought carrot cake too, waiting to aee what that is like, have not tried yet.

Discovered this bakery as I was walking to the D train station. I bought the chocolate babka for a holiday party and everyone loved it. It was gone in minutes. I am decibel going back to see what other sweet treats I would like. The bakery is well lit, staff are friendly and helpful. You have to check it out.

Like everyone else says, the chocolate babka is fantastic! I can't speak for the other baked goods but the babka makes for a great gift to take back if you're only visiting.

This Breads location is pretty busy so if you dine in it might be harder to find seating. The store is very spacious and has a variety of options for either a quick snack or a small meal. I personally think the upper east side location makes the same bread but it tastes better.

While walking by I was drawn into this place because of the windows, the smells of fresh bread and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. The food: 3/5 I ordered the regelach, this was super delicious! I really enjoyed it a lot, I was not happy that it cost $3 for one but well worth it for just one. I also ordered two pieces of bread the Jerusalem bagel and garlic/Parmesan breadstick. These were okay until I realized there were mustards to dip them which enhances them a little bit . My favorite mustard would have been the smoked followed by the spicy mustard. The service: 2/5 when I walked in it seemed like the employees were to busy and did not want to help. I received my order and it would have been a nice addition to be told about the mustards for the breads to dip. I know most people probably know this but I did not. I also went to ask for more of the Smokey mustard, one of the girls asked someone else where it was and he said if it's out we have no more today; they will make more tomorrow. I'm not sure how I felt about this, I was conflicted between either they did not want to refill it or they actually are out. The ambiance: 3/5 it's a cool place to sit and look outside. I felt like a dog in a cage, I saw people walking by and pointing to me mouthing words. It was a very awkward feeling, so I'd suggest not to sit near the window for that reason. The seating is limited inside as well, if you go during midday you'll have no problem but earlier or later you may have to wait or stand to consume your meal.

This bakery makes one delicious chocolate babka! I've gotten a few things from Breads and everything is high quality, well constructed, and yummy. The chocolate babka will always be my favorite but I think you can't go wrong with other items. I like this location bc it's clean, airy, and spacious. Service is quick and the cashiers are helpful (but also seem skilled at moving things along). Today I got a chai latte-- a little on the sweet/syrupy side, but pretty tasty nonetheless. I'll definitely be back, especially when I'm looking for a nice pastry to bring to someone as a present!

Delicious!!! I have been to the location on the UWS as well as their small location neat Bryant park. I love their tuna salad platter. The bread sticks are incredible. The babka is the best in the city. Their cinnamon rolls are incredible as well. The food is expensive but it's incredibly delicious and worth the price tag. There are no photos because I always forget to take a picture before devouring their food but I will be sure to update this review after my next trip. The UWS is small so it can feel hectic but the service for a countertop space is good. There is limited indoor seating. They do have outdoor seating as well.

Clean spacious and fully stocked. I got a hot chocolate and it was delicious. Service was amazing. The lady was friendly and patient.

Absolutely obsessed with this place. Their coffee is amazing and the people are so nice too. I normally wouldn't think this but they have this egg sandwich in the morning that is so good!!! It's my new favorite morning treat

Another recommend place from friend to go. Good call! Ordered cinnamon roll & cappuccino, love it!

Love this place, the cheese bread is amazing and loved the cinnamon rolls, be sure to get there early before they sell out!

Wonderful service food and lots of tables. I ordered the americano and a breakfast sandwich. They were very good.

My wife and kids always want me to bring them back Bread's chocolate Babka. This location is nice and clean and their service is great. The employees are friendly and helpful. I haven't had anything here I didn't enjoy.

We were in the area, and I didn't realize that a Breads had opened in the area! It's right off the subway, and very close to Rock Center. I had been craving a good croissant, and man breads hit the spot! The croissant tasted fresh, had beautiful flaky layers, and it really hit the spot. We also got a small sourdough, which was pricy at $8.95, but also delicious. I typically have been making my own sourdough, but was short on time so I grabbed one from here. Here's what left me disappointed, the person helping me had no knowledge about allergens, and the labels only show when things contain dairy or wheat. Egg is a common allergen, and they didn't write whether or not things contained egg. When I asked the person if they knew if certain things had eggs, he just said it all had it, but then when I asked if the sourdough had it, he said not that. Make your people more knowledgeable about allergens, especially common ones.

So excited for a new Breads Bakery location! This location is so convenient, located right next to the BDFM train station. The space is modern and spacious and has most of their staple items (babka, croissants, etc.) I didnt see the black and white cookie but I found an exclusive lemon babka!! Came at 6pm and there was still a lot of items available.

If you're craving a bread, pastry, or lunch option, look no further. This place is AMAZING! We were passing by and one employee was handing out free samples of the lemon babka, which is exclusive to this location. Oh my god - SO amazing, I bought the loaf. My friend bought the chocolate and cinnamon babkas for friends and family the next day - we were completely convinced. They do offer prepared items and also hot and cold beverages to choose from (mainly coffee and tea). Other locations have outdoor seating (the Lincoln Center location has quite a bit outside, it's really nice during the spring/summertime!), but I highly recommend this location!!!

amazing chocolate babka, so tasty and not too sweet the potato bureka is also amazing, the best puff pastry i ever had. it is definitely a lot of calorie too

I carried the most giant sourdough on a long plane ride home and it was all worth it. Best rustic sourdough I have ever had.

Service is quick. Have your choices ready so you don't hold up the line. The chocolate rugelach is chocolatie and flaky. The croissant is buttery and flaky. The cinnamon roll is full of cinnamon and is delicious. So many other choices, I need to return!

Excellent pastries! We had the chocolate babka, Mediterranean quiche and fruit tart. Disappointed in my coffee and the chaos at the coffee counter, hence the 4/5 stars.

Very welcoming place, well organized, excellent products and service. Everyone is so nice.

The chocolate almond croissant is still on my mind. The cheddar stick is still being talked about. The coffee is excellent and made at its own coffee bar. Great staff. Everyone was helpful. Cozy place with a massive amount of options in the case and ready to go on racks. Awesome spot.

Quick service and great pastries. I would recommend. I had the almond croissant and it was incredible!

the tomato focaccia was basically all tomato and no bread. it was disgusting honestly and for $15 which is extremely expensive, it is not worth it at all.

The bakery has everything you can think of and it's probably overwhelming, so stuck with something familiar like the almond croissant and the Frappuccino. Both were superb! Giving this a 4 star, just because it took a while for someone to come help me, but the place was great for a grab and go...specially before or after the theater next door.

Love tha babka !!!!!! really yummy and is a great dessert to bring to a dinner party.
