Pockets of Sunshine Babka is heading your way! ☀️ 🍋⁠

Breads Bakery teamed up with Al Roker to bring his vision of a citrus babka to life and the Pockets of Sunshine Babka was born. ⁠

This babka features a slightly tart and refreshing lemon cream that is folded into the Bakery's signature babka dough. Once baked, the Pockets of Sunshine Babka is topped with fresh lemon zest in order to enhance the aroma and flavor of the citrus. ⁠

Available only at our Rock Center bakery. A portion of the proceeds from each babka will go to ⁠

It's hamantaschen time: Bakeries busy making cookies for Purim

"To say things are bustling in the kitchen at Breads Bakery in Union Square this week would be a massive understatement, as a team of bakers handcrafts the triangle-shaped, filled cookies traditionally served for Purim. There's a whole lot of hamantaschen going on." - Spectrum News NY1

Tens of thousands of the cookies will be baked and sold.

Celebrate Purim With Fun And Inventive Hamantaschen Variations

"It’s not often you find a savory take on Hamantaschen, but at legendary Breads Bakery in New York City, there’s a pizza variety. It’s made with mozzarella, parmesan and walnut pesto, and is a unique and fun (and delicious) take perfect for appetizers at any holiday cocktail party. Perhaps start the night with this savory take and then save the sweet options for dessert." - Forbes

The hamantaschen is perhaps the most recognizable symbol of the Jewish holiday of Purim.

We’re so thankful to Kelly at Bread’s Bakery for teaching us how to braid and bake our very own challah bread! Luckily for us, it didn’t stop there — we made pizza rolls and a delicious chocolate babka. Cooking camp doesn’t get any better than this!

Dear Breads Bakery, what I would do to taste your Black Forest Brioche... Greetings from the director and cast of THE CAKEMAKER :)
We had the most wonderful challah bread cooking class for kids with Chef Kelly at Breads Bakery! There's nowhere else we'd go to get our favorite pastries and breads. If you haven't treated yourself to a sweet from the Breads Bakery team, you are missing out!
We're getting ready for our cooking class at Breads Bakery with local kids, and we couldn't be more excited to try our hand at making challah bread! What a treat to learn alongside the best bakers in the city — see you in the kitchen!
Awesome taste.
I loved what I ate at union square and brought back home rugellach and bread. incredibly delicious
