Israeli bakery with savory pastries, flaky croissants, & babka
"Another great jelly donut option, this time in Manhattan. This Israeli bakery on the Lower East Side has seven varieties of sufganiyot, including halva, dulce de leche, banana-pecan, and a vegan version with strawberry jam. Michaeli also makes great babka, rugelach, and challah, which may be of interest to anyone with blood in their veins and dreidels in their hearts. Place your order online." - hannah albertine
"For anyone looking for kosher or parve sweets, this Israeli bakery on the Lower East Side has things like round knot challah with pumpkin seeds and sesame, apple crumb babka, and galil bread. Check out the full menu online here." - hannah albertine
"This Israeli bakery on the Lower East Side has seven varieties of hamantaschen, including halva, apple and dates, banana-chocolate, and a vegan version with poppy seeds. They’re also making hamantaschen for dogs, which we can just hear our dad cackling about and referencing for weeks to come, as well as something called a “purim galette” filled with plums and marzipan cream. While you’re there, you may as well pick up some of Michaeil’s great babka, rugelach, or challah. Place your order online or stop by their bakery on Division Street between Thursday and Sunday, February 28th." - hannah albertine
"Michaeli Bakery on the Lower East Side makes our favorite traditional jelly-filled sufganiyot, and this year, they’re walk-in only. They’re extremely light, packed with flavor, and will give you such warm, fuzzy feelings you’ll suddenly get the urge to call your mom while you stand outside and eat one. They’re also making seven other flavors, including some innovative options like Halva cream and pistachio. Come early in the day, because these will sell out." - carina finn koeppicus
"A former Breads Bakery chef is behind this establishment that brings a refined approach to pastries and adds offerings from the chef’s home country of Israel. Given his culinary pedigree, the kosher bakery naturally boasts knockout chocolate babkas — in both dairy and vegan options — and also a wide array of holiday specials. A second location resides on the Upper East Side." - John Tsung
