Description

Beyond the signature cookie, the bakery serves traditional babka, schnecken, and rugelach, which some call the best they have tasted. The black-and-whites are notable for a rich, fudgey chocolate frosting, and visitors point out these huge treats are half the price of most NYC bakeries. The menu also accommodates dietary needs with plant-based and parve kosher options.
