"While the original East Village location closed in 2019 after forty years, Moishe’s — which lives on in downtown Manhattan at this spot, run by a relative — remains a cultural touchstone. For generations of New Yorkers, Moishe’s represented the go-to bakery to buy a spread of cookies or kokosh cake for post-Friday dinner gatherings in lower Manhattan, as well as on holidays like Rosh Hashanah. Moishe’s affordable menu defines old-school tradition. The shop now sources its baked goods from other bakeries, including Sander’s in Brooklyn; nonetheless, this Lower East Side bakery is a must-stop." - John Tsung
"I regretted the closing of Moishe’s Bake Shop, which was listed among notable losses." - Eater Staff
"A delivery of butter and other food items to the long-darkened Moishe’s Bake Shop space in the East Village has locals wondering if a reopening of the Jewish bakery is imminent." - Stefanie Tuder
"I learned that the East Village kosher bakery at 115 Second Ave. has been closed since March for renovations and that new bakers are taking over; original owner Moishe Perl may still be involved “in some capacity.” Although there were initial rumors it was closed for good, Perl says the bakery will reopen under new leadership and may have a new name: Formerly Moishe’s." - Carla Vianna
"I report that the original location of more-than-40-year-old kosher bakery Moishe’s Bake Shop shuttered; it was known for hamantashen and other Jewish specialty baked goods at low prices and had opened in the East Village in the mid-1970s." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
