Rethink Chocolate Babka $18 ๐ This plant-based chocolate babka, created in collaboration with EMP, is a unique twist on the classic. At room temperature, itโs quite enjoyable with a generous amount of nuts. However, as vegans, we found the taste a bit off, and it became more pronounced after reheating. ๐ซ ๐The babka itself is beautifully crafted, with layers of dough and rich chocolate filling. The nuts add a delightful crunch, making each bite a textural adventure. For those who enjoy the classic version, this plant-based take offers a satisfying alternative. ๐ช However, we noticed a slight aftertaste that didnโt quite sit well with us. Perhaps itโs the nature of the plant-based ingredients, but it was something we couldnโt quite place. After reheating, this flavor became even more noticeable, which might be a deal-breaker for some. ๐ฅ ๐ Overall, itโs a thoughtful effort to cater to a vegan audience, and while it has its merits, it might not be for everyone. If youโre curious about plant-based pastries, this is definitely one to try and see how it fits your taste buds! ๐ฟ #NewYork #VeganTreats #BreadsBakery ๐
