I have been coming to this place since a child my father used to take me and then after getting these nice streets he would take us across the street to a shoe store and which he bought me these ugly brogan shoes. I think it was his way of sweetening up for those ugly shoes he purchased me. Nonetheless this bakery has been around for a number of years and has not disappointed as of yet and I hope they do not ever because I will always come back when I'm in this neighborhood. I don't know the name of the cookies but it has a raspberry filling and they come in all shapes. The black-and-white cookies were absolutely awesome.

None the less I'll return no time soon because yes it is fattening to have all these sweets. But the holidays are coming up again...

Take your friends done fine baked goods afterwards and they will love...
Read moreAmong the best rye breads in the universe, fragrant with caraway and with a wonderful, faintly sour tang, just as it should be. The chocolate roll, known elsewhere, incorrectly, as babka, is divine. Authentic Hungarian kakaós! Available Friday mornings, fresh for Shabbos breakfast.
Last time I went, their divine rye was only available Thursday mornings. Hasidim have taken up spelt bread now - that was unexpected - it rocked my world, which apparently is founded on the belief that the best rye bread will always be available. Mind, I haven’t tried the spelt, which is no doubt delicious too. These are terrific bakers. Worth a shlep from anywhere....
