Green's Bakery in South Williamsburg is a beloved family-run spot known for its outstanding kosher pastries, especially their rich babkas and delightful hamantaschen.
"If you’re looking for a place in Brooklyn where you can pick up a box of hamantaschen that’s theoretically large enough to feed an entire congregation, check out Green’s Bakery on Franklin Street in South Williamsburg. Their hamantaschen aren’t made with any dairy (Green’s Bakery is kosher), and include fillings like strawberry, mango, poppyseed, chocolate, and prune. They also sell chocolate-dipped hamantaschen with sprinkles, which are objectively more fun than the non-dipped cookie kin. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"Discerning babka shoppers may recognize Green’s three-sided cardboard containers, as it’s been rumored that the bakery supplies white-labeled babkas to many of the high-end grocers and restaurants across New York City. Green’s kosher babkas are pareve, meaning made without dairy, and distinct from the more croissant-like takes made with butter and milk. While the chocolate babka wins the popular vote, the sleeper hit is the cinnamon babka, with a bold flavor that may just win over a few cinnamon skeptics. The Hungarian immigrant-founded bakery’s industrial kitchen in South Williamsburg is a not-so-hidden secret for acolytes. Ask politely, and they may just sell you a babka straight from the source" - John Tsung, Eater Staff
