    Pretzel, quiche, Olive & Cheese Breadstick
    Alexandra B.

    Haven't been to this location before, but Breads is a classic. I always love the Chocolate Babka and stopped in to pick up the new Earl Grey bread to take home. Staff was welcoming, location was clean and bright with some small tables and counter seating. Grabbed a quick bite of a pretzel, quiche, and breadstick to tide me over before heading out. The quiche had great flavor and the staff warmed it up for me which made it way better, definitely eat it warm!

    I LOVE this place. I could go every single day. Fantastic pastries, and also salads and amazing "deli" choices - hummus, egg salad, Israeli salad.... So good.

    Excellent service, the egg salad sandwich only came on a poppy seed bun but was soft and tasty. The almond croissant has a nice soft paste center and flaky outside. The pretzel was very good, almost whole wheat, with a soft bread center.

    I love this little Breads Bakery booth right in Bryant Park. I ordered an iced coffee and a slice of chocolate babka, then sat back to enjoy them while people-watching. The iced coffee was smooth and delicious--no bitter aftertaste at all. The chocolate babka was rich and perfectly paired with the coffee. A simple, satisfying treat in a great spot!

    The location is on the corner of Bryant Park and it is a little kiosk/stand store so not much ambience to comment on but even though it is tiny, service is efficient and fast. I got some plain croissants and they were oh so buttery, crispy and flaky! Perfect to eat while sitting in the park. This little kiosk store may not have as much selections as a bigger Breads Bakery store, though they do have all the yummy basics and most loved items!

    The chocolate babka was decadent and overly sweet. But overall, decent! Breads bakery's pastries were great like the cinnamon roll pin wheel, plain croissant and a chocolate croissant.

    Some consider theirs the best babka in NYC. They aren't wrong. The last babkas I got from a couple of well known spots have been somewhat dry. Breads' is moist and rich. More of a line and less selection of baked goods than other locations because this is a kiosk at Bryant Park, but I didn't wait too long. They even had a seasonal apple babka for Rosh Hashanah and I was able to get both chocolate and apple without issue

    World's BEST CHOCOLATE BABKA! This babka strikes the ideal balance: it's moist, fluffy, and oozing with chocolate goodness. The friendly staff is a cherry on top. This dessert easily tops my city favorites list. When I don't want to commit to a full Babka, I opt for the Rugelach. It's not an exact match but hits the right spot for those cravings.

    Breads Bakery Bryant Park Kiosk is the least favorite of my Breads locations. I always see a line. I was in Bryant Park recently with friends and remembered I hadn't been here since the holidays. When I'm here during the holidays I just grab a coffee and sit on a bench enjoying the park. If you enjoy their baked goods, or you are a tourist and want to try them out, this is a good place. I prefer to sit to eat at the full size neighborhood locations uptown.

    If you have ever lived in Europe or a LatinX country, you know how much you appreciated being able to go to the corner every morning (what corner? any corner!) and get a fresh loaf of bread, right out of the oven. If you were really fortunate, you got a steaming hot coffee with hot milk there as well. And you also know, if you are a born NYer like I am, that the City (The City!) has every kind of bakery and lunch spot that anyone could possibly dream up. So, why go to Breads above all the others? Because it is simply the best, hands down, for the things it serves. Just look at the range in their menu -- challahs (a wide and inventive range of flavors), babkas, tarts, quiches, baguettes, cookies -- all freshly made on the premises (there are three -- I chose the 6th Avenue/Lincoln center store). And that is not even to start to mention all the breakfast choices, pizza, and sandwiches. We were heading out of the city to an event in Connecticut the first time I tried Breads. Even though I was dressed in a black and white Armani outfit that I had just gotten back pristinely pressed and spotless from the cleaners, I could not resist getting the Tunisian sandwich. Huh? When I was going to NYU, there was a nearby kiosk that offered, among other delicacies, a divine dreamwich called "Tunisian falafel". Ever since then, I have tried to find, or duplicate myself, that mysterious, elusive combination that transports one to the Maghreb instantly. Never found it, until ... Breads! Check out the ingredients they list: chunk Italian Tuna, hard boiled eggs, potatoes, kalamata olives, tomatoes and spicy harissa on focaccia. Ah! There it is, the secret sauce, the harissa. Every good cook from the region has their own version. I have a dozen of my own in my kitchen, this very day. The one at that ancient kiosk and the one they sprinkle on their Tunisian Tuna sandwich at Breads are the stuff legends are made of. You simply must try it. And yes, crumbs dotted my beautiful Armani but -- and this says it all, if you knew me -- I didn't care. That sandwich is out of this world. I literally inhaled the whole thing. Another member of our group ordered the Smoked Salmon on a Jerusalem Baguette. We put a huge bag of challahs in the back of the car, to smuggle home in our carry-on's, to Los Angeles. We all had cookies, and carried rugelach, olive and cheese sticks, and egg salad to the hotel (thank heaven there was a small refrigerator in the room) to have the next day. Take a look at the vast menu. You will not be disappointed if you order any of those. But, make sure you try a variety. Now, please, Breads, come to the West Coast! (Please note: the pictures were from a visit to Breads before the covid pandemic, hence the lack of masks. Rest assured they are all masked and gloved now.)

Next time around we had La Toscana , another great sandwich w the salami, pecorino & truffle honey. & La paradiso very good as well with the mortadella, Stracciatella & pistachio cream.

There's limited seating, quick service, price wise on the high side but the sandwiches are delicious , definitely worth a try this was a great find.

After arriving I waited at least another 30 minutes and was not serviced - meanwhile they tended to all walk-in customers leave a large group of customers that ordered online to wait. To help, one of the staff announced they would expedite the orders of for those of us waiting if we went over to the walk in line. This was not based on who had been waiting the longest but who got to the other line first - seriously? I finally got to the line near an hour after I originally placed my order. Was told there was no manager on staff. When asked for them to upgrade my order due to the inconvenience, I was originally told that they could increase the bread but but not the sandwich contents - seriously?! After two of the workers start responding aggressively - telling me I "was doing too much", someone that I can only assume was the team lead took my order and made my sandwich. I understand the crew can only do so much - but their lunch time system is ridiculous and some of their staff need customer service training. They had my eye twitching. Avoid this location if you would like to avoid raising your blood pressure over lunch.

I have three big guys with me and sometimes quick lunches need to be more filling than fast food options, so we chose Alidoro's under Rockefeller Plaza. We could walk to it form the hotel and it was in the middle off all we wanted to show the boys on their first day (first time) in the city. We all chose different sandwiches and they were ready pretty fast. Since the shop itself is not huge, we landed a small space at the window bar with two stools and some standing room. After being in a car and on a flight and in another car all morning, we weren't mad about the standing part. We were all able to share and sample each sandwich, and honestly, we were not disappointed. We were all full and happy when we weren't finished, so what more could we want for a relatively quick NYC meal?
