Orwashers

Orwashers New York's Original Artisan Bakery. Baking it local since 1916.

It’s ok to get a little messy 🍩With jelly that is!

It’s not every year we can celebrate New Year’s Eve AND Hanukkah together. In fact, you’ll have to wait until 2035! So, let’s make it count. Ring in the New Year and celebrate the last night of Hanukkah with our coveted Sufganiyot!

You can place your pre-order today, 12/31 by 3pm via the link in our bio for pick-up tomorrow on New Year’s Day.

Please note we will be open from 8:30am - 4:30pm at all three locations (UES, UWS, and Roslyn Heights). 

You ain’t ready (for 2025), until you get this jelly! 

Happy New Year and Happy Hanukkah!

🌬 Brrrr It’s the unofficial start of winter! You’re a New Yorker, so undoubtedly you’re a tough cookie and can endure these next few months of the cold and darkness around 4:30 pm…but well, even the most hardened New Yorker has a soft middle just like an Orwashers cookie! 🍪

Friends, I wanted to share some personal news with you today.
 
In September, I lost my baby sister, Beth. Some of you may have known her as the friendly face behind our farmers market stands in Greenpoint and Pleasanton. Beth’s passing was sudden and shocking, and I am still recovering from the loss. I suspect it will be a long, difficult process.
 
For those of you who’ve experienced something similar, you likely searched for meaning in the aftermath, as I have. It’s natural that we try to comprehend the incomprehensibility of loss-the unfairness, the finality, the cruelty of it all. We desperately look for a sign, a lesson, anything to give us a shred of relief and perspective to help us cope and carry on.
 
I wish I could tell you I’ve found such meaning. I’m still looking. However, I have found true solace in this business and in all of you. Some of this relief has surely come from the attention I need to focus on our operations, which diverts my mind from the heartbreak, but the real salve is the spirit of Orwashers.
 
At our core, Orwashers is about feeding people. There’s something so human and yet so divine about the simple act of breaking bread with others. We are still, we are together, we are connected, we are nourished. And in this increasingly chaotic and divided world, that experience is a true gift and a great comfort to ourselves and those we invite to our table.
 
Whether it’s our sourdough bagels at your birthday brunch, our crusty baguette at your dinner party, or our warm Parker House rolls for your Thanksgiving spread, knowing that our products reach customers like you, in these moments that matter, means the world to me and to all of us here at Orwashers. Thank you, truly.
 
In the upcoming holidays, I know many of us will feel the terrible ache of someone’s absence. I certainly will. Beth was the centerpiece of every family gathering–a great storyteller with a huge heart and a fantastic laugh. Their memory is a blessing, and the best way for us to honor it is to share the love we have for them with others. So let’s set the table, slice the bread, welcome our guests, and embrace the healing joy of feeding each other. With gratitude, Keith.
