Breads Bakery

Breads has great breads and pastries (as the name suggests…) in the back they have some refrigerated food options, everything is a little pricey, but it is definitely worth it for the baked goods.

They have a variety of cafe beverage items, but nothing special if you’re the kind of person looking for flavors. What they do have is good quality.

Lined up for 10 mins. It was delicious but for me the chocolate babka was too sweet! The cinnamon roll was just okay.

You can get the babka at Bryant Park as well

One of our favourite bakeries in the city! If you love oatmeal cookies you need to try it at Breads Bakery. Also the chocolate banana cake is super delicious too

if you’re a New Yorker and haven’t had a Breads Bakery babka, you’re probably not an actual New Yorker!

but you reply: “madman reviewer, i have no friends or family and can’t order one whole babka loaf for myself”

and i say: a babka is good for 4-5 days after being baked. if you can’t finish one in a few days then you might NOT be a human!

Breads is famously known for its babkas but i’d say that that the various baked loaves are also fantastic like the French Sourdough. Jerusalem bagels are also available here which i don’t see often.

the bakery space is very clean and well-maintained. most of the freshly baked items are up front. in the back is the packaged salads and sandwiches as well as coffee area. the drip coffee is good especially paired with something sweet. don’t know if all the staff are involved baking operation but they are friendly and pretty knowledgeable. Breads Bakery is a carbs heaven for all.

Nothing is bad here! The most important thing, as names, breads are fantastic here, and my fav thing here is oatmeal bread. They are getting new pastries every once in a while. The new strawberry tartlet was wonderful. The place is spacious, a lot of seating in the back for lunch, right in front of the kitchen where they make breads. Love here!
