I tried the chocolate babka that the city raves about and it's reeeeeeeeeeeealy good. I'm a chocoholic and this is the best babka I've ever had. The service here is ok, so don't expect to have great treatment. Nothing terrible, but you won't feel warm and welcome here. Getting back to the babka, just try it! read more

Randomly walked in here and got the chocolate babka. Was really good, except a little too buttery for my taste. Got some good tea too and ate it on the spot. read more

I paid over $5.00 for a very small latte that was lukewarm. I am not happy (although the coffee tasted like it was good quality).

I love most of the breads bakery products. When I saw a Jerusalem bagel I was supper happy . It is a new item they recently added . But sadly it was huge disappointment, nothing like Jerusalem bagel , the bagel was flavourless the texture was wrong what a disappointment , don't wast your money on it . read more

3.5 The workers are nice but a bit awkward when it comes to customer service. Made me feel like I didn't want to stay. I finally got to try the famous chocolate babka that's apparently the best in NYC. I picked up a slice ($5) which was prebagged and I ended up with the unlucky hard end piece. Fine anyway.. It was extremely heavy, rich, sticky, sweet and messy to eat. I couldn't handle the decadent chocolate swirls and it overpowered the bread part. That one slice fill me up enough to run 5 miles. A whole loaf can probably get me through 3 days of marathon. Get it if you enjoy the taste of rich chocolate. read more

Such an incredible place! Babka is awesome... whole wheat bread also (they can cut it there), chocolate croissant, etcc.

Really amazing babka for a great price! I got two babkas as a gift for my family and they loved it!

Better when hot!! This place is a GEM!! I came here after many recommendations from friends, and it did not disappoint!! We brought some back with us home the next morning and it was still fantastic! read more

Their chocolate babka is so insanely good, but the price is equally insane. I only get it every once in a while. The babka has this great texture and just enough chocolate sweetness. I don't really know how to describe it. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. read more

Did not have a good experience here. Paid $10 for 2 slices of babka and they gave me two end pieces of not so fresh babka (which I only realized at home). Listen I get that those dry end pieces have to be sold to someone but giving 2 of them to the same person when I'm paying 5 freaking dollars for one slice is unacceptable. Go to their Union Square location and get a whole fresh babka instead. It's amazing. read more

Came here with a purpose- to get the legendary chocolate babka! They had plenty in stock, so I got mine and was on my way. This location a kiosk in Bryant park, not a bakery. Next time I'll probably go to the bakery too see what other goodies they have, but this is a convenient location! read more

Had a very bad experience today. The guys that work here are very rude and unprofessional.

Introduced rugelach to my colleagues at work through breads' delicious rugelach! It was actually my first time trying them after having eaten their babka a couple of years ago and it did not disappoint!! The only thing is that they are super expensive so eat wisely! read more

Great location to have a fast pickup breakfast at Bryant Park. Pastries were good but were kind of cold.

So happy I tried breads bakery! It's the perfect place to grab a quick bite while soaking in Bryant Park. All of the pastries I've tried here have been amazing, and I've tried quite a few! I've tried their pain at chocolat, croissant, chocolate babka, rugelach, spinach bureka, potato bureka, and poppy roll - all have been exceptional. They're all light, soft, and perfectly flakey. read more

On a cold day where there is no other refuge than Starbucks, Breads is where you go. Get a potato bureka and a hot coffee. So flakey and potatoey. Seriously, everything from Breads is amazing. read more

Amazing giant cookies and great drinks, I recommend the Bryant Park location, you can sit outside and enjoy a beautiful view of the city in the park. They have Nutella Bavka They have more locations in the city, the one by the Lincoln center is good as well. read more

Waffle? Babka? Waffle? Babka? This decision swirled around in my head for several minutes as I stalked each kiosk deciding which one was producing the mouthwatering scent lofting through Bryant Park and which one would satisfy me enough that I wouldn't regret my decision. I decided on a chocolate babka and several days later, I'm still thinking about it. It was so moist but loaded with flavor. Somehow they nailed the balance between sweet, bread, and aroma using a blend of yeast bread, chocolate, butter, and Nutella. Though they sell it by the loaf, I opted for a slice, I regret my decision. In fact, it appears they ship nationwide and I can have a 3-pack of chocolate Babka delivered to my house for $69.90. I'm trying to justify the purchase and am seriously considering it for my father's birthday present, but only if I felt certain he would share and I'm not certain he would... Random note...Though I didn't try anything else at Breads Bakery, I did use the restroom in Bryant Park. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it may be the cleanest/prettiest public restroom I've ever used. I highly recommend Bryant Park for a walk, a treat, and a potty break. read more

I found this little Kiosk by using the Food for All app! This app helps solve the global food waste problem by partnering with awesome businesses like Breads Bakery, and gives you a major discount on food! Really great sandwich for nights when you just don't have any food at the house I grabbed a cauliflower pesto sandwich after a long day of classes and it was great comfort food! It was wonderful, inexpensive and I didn't feel too tooo unhealthy eating it! read more

I am a regular customer of the kiosk in Bryant Park since 3 years with a loyalty card, and have always enjoyed Breads Bakery's delicious chocolate babkas, cheese straws and good coffee. But the treatment I got today really pissed me off. I ordered the same things as always, was given a different type of coffee, which I realized after paying everything when I lifted the lid. When I wanted to change it, they claimed that I was the one who made the wrong order and charged me extra for a second coffee. It's not the first time this kiosk provides lousy service - forgotten orders, half-filled coffee cups, people who were after me in the cue served before - I just tolerated and provided a generous tip every time. But it's enough, this is the last straw. I am not going back unless there is an improvement in the service quality. read more

This place is amazing!!! They have the best challah in NYC. We also love their sandwiches and their great chocolate babka

Addicted to their breads, especially sour dough! Also their quick pickup items in the back are great but usually gone when we get there now, with the pandemic. We go there 3x per week - addicted! read more

Read such good reviews for their Chocolate Babka, I just had to try it for myself. Stopped by their store on 16th Street and bought a loaf of their chocolate babka and while there decided to grab some lunch. Had one of their Tunisian sandwiches and well, it was ok. Once I got home and cut into the chocolate babka, we found it to be dry and as hard as a biscotti. Not much else to say about Breads. Guess its Greens for chocolate babka. read more

Not much to say about this little Bread Bakery kiosk inside Bryant Park except that it's cute, convenient and has yummy iced mochas. I'm sure they get plenty of business due to their location, which is good. Hubby and I enjoyed our coffees very much. They did have other things here like pastries and sandwiches which we totally would have gotten had we not already eaten lunch. Maybe next time we find ourselves in NYC and wandering around Bryant Park. read more

Often times when you see something on Instagram, it doesn't live up to the hype. I had been seeing pictures of Breads' pretzel croissant on social media for a while and had to go check it out myself. First of all, a pretzel croissant hybrid is a winning combination if I've ever seen one. I went with the pizza pretzel croissant and my friend got the zatar pretzel croissant and both were so good. All the goodness of a croissant, in pretzel shape, with cheese and marinara sauce... what's not to like?! I need to stop by to try out more of their offerings but so far so good! read more

The flakiest croissant I have seen, very velvety and not too oily. I liked tearing them apart and just take in the layers of flakiness. The croissant does not taste overly buttery, but must be filled with butter for the flakiness they have, very good texture. read more

We used Breads to cater one of our events. They did not disappoint! We particularly enjoyed their chocolate rugelach and croissant sandwiches. The staff was very helpful in helping us choose a selection, and the presentation of the platters was impressive. I would definitely consider using them again! read more

Had breakfast here before leaving the city after a short stay. Beautiful location, friendly staff, and delicious food. We tried the cheese danish, spinach & feta bureka, and chocolate rugelachs. Very, very good. My latte was fantastic as well. Highly recommend breakfast at Breads in Bryant Park. read more

I am a regular customer for the past 2 months at Breads bakery and always order almond croissant. This morning (09/03) when I got to my desk I noted that they incorrectly gave me a plain croissant. Since I had already eaten the plain croissant I took the bureka (my other order) and told them about the mix up. They were extremely rude and pointed that it was my fault as that is what I had ordered and I should have seen what I got. Although they gave me the almond croissant, the Asian female associate was very rude and a few basics of customer service would go a long way. They should think why a re[peat customer will suddenly come all the way with the complaint (who has never done it before). Guess what they just lost a customer and many more who will be reading the review. read more

Wanted to love this place. Got major attitude off of woman at pick up window when I asked if these 2 small cups she put out were Americanos. I ordered large and these were small. Didn't want to ask a second question about the size after getting snapped at once. $16 for 2 small coffees with 2 stale tasting pastries. Wow, I can see why all these great reviews are here on yelp. Rip off kiosk in Bryant park, I get it. read more

The best hamentashen in the city and I have tried many different places.

this review is for their babka bread i've been wanting to check out their store in union sq for awhile but haven't had the chance. when i saw their stand by bryant park i was excited to finally get to try their babka bread. honestly i had no idea what a babka bread consisted off. they had two flavors -- cinnamon raisin and chocolate nutella. obviously, i got the chocolate nutella babka. i showed my friends the expensive bread ($13) and they were not impressed at all. i took it home and shared it with my family and everyone loved it. the babka is flaky and crispy on the outside and the inside is soft and fluffy.. within half a week we finished the bread read more

Decent offshoot of their excellent Union Square original, but some very awkward service and shockingly dry & disappointing babka. Oddly, on HBO movie Mondays in the park, steps away they make $5 slices available if you're not looking to make the $13 investment, but prepare to pay a corresponding premium. read more

This bakery is really good. They have quality bread and desserts at great prices. The pre-bagged cookies are overpriced for the quality, but their French Bread is great toasted with some olive oil and goat cheese. read more

I can't speak about any of their products but the famous chocolate babka. It's amazingly tasty! I often grab a loaf or two for friends and family when I travel home. Never receives anything but rave reviews. read more

Review based on one visit and one sandwich... but yegads, WHAT a sandwich! Their Tunisian number puts your average tuna on bread in the corner: moist olive oil-packed tuna, sliced tomato, cubed potato, HB egg, briny olives, bit of preserved lemon, all piled into a chewy focaccia roll spread with ruddy, spicy harissa. They nailed this - exceptionally delicious version of one of the best sandwich combos around. read more
