"Following the splashy opening of Theodora, the Miss Ada extended restaurant universe is expanding with a bakery called Thea, just down the block in Fort Greene. We’re excited to try their lemon pistachio babka, and sandwiches like a chicken milanese with matbucha and pickles on challah. They’ll also have grab-and-go items from Miss Ada and Theodora, like pita and hummus, and their smoked baba ganoush." - will hartman
"A Fort Greene bakery from Tomer Blechman (owner of Miss Ada and Theodora) offering items like tahini banana bread and lemon pistachio babka, with flavors often showing a Mexico City twist plus coffee cinnamon concha, cotija with falafel on pita, grab-and-go salads, and in-house pantry staples." - Eater Staff
"Thea is from the team behind Theodora, a seafood restaurant in Fort Greene where people come for the dainty fish plates, and stay for the breads. It makes sense that they'd open a bakery. Thea is right down the block, and has a similarly minimalist interior, but an impressively lengthy menu of sweet and savory items. If you're not sure where to start, try the mango labneh maritozzi, a thick slice of tahini banana bread, and a BLT sandwich on focaccia. In the morning they have egg sandwiches and avocado toast, and after 11am there are tortas and falafel. Also grab a loaf of sourdough for later. With interesting options like a guava ricotta danish, you'll probably order way more pastries than you ever intended to, and that's going to be the best thing you do for yourself all week. Everything here is flavorful and satisfying. photo credit: Melissa Hom photo credit: Melissa Hom photo credit: Melissa Hom Pause Unmute" - Willa Moore
"A twice-baked babka serves as both cookie and filling, with babka ice cream swirled with babka crumble and rolled in salty babka brittle for a highly indulgent, weekend-only treat that tends to sell out quickly." - Charlotte Druckman
