Upper East Side
308 E. 78th St.
between 1st/2nd Aves.

P: 212.288.6569


Old fashioned East Side bakery that's been in the neighborhood for over 80 years.  Loved for their Jewish bread and rolls baked in brick hearth ovens.

What's great:

Traditional Jewish breads that are increasingly hard to find.  These include black pumpernickel, Challah, marble rye and European potato bread with a crisp crust.  Other breads include semolina, whole grain, and Irish soda.  Sweets include cookies, donuts, decorated and 7-layer cakes, babkas and brownies. 

What to know:

The shop is located mid-block on the side street with what appears to be an original tile floor and white painted wood shelving.  They sell kosher breadcrumbs.  Their allegen-free selection includes wheat-free rye on Thursdays and salt-free breads on Wednesdays (white bread) and Saturdays (rye).
