The chocolate Babka is delicious. It's super fresh and dough when you order it directly from Green's.

First order. Last order. Came dried out and underwhelming at best. Very sad as this was to be my go to baker. Unfortunately they did not think to care to make this the best experience they can. Why they did not send a fresh bake, makes me realize they just don't care. Lesson learned. Green s is a fail and sad disappointment. read more

Ordered ten days in advance of requested ship date. No shipping details from FedEx. It appears the package was never handed over for shipping and delivery. Attempted to contact them, left multiple voice mail and e-mail messages, which received no response. Finally contacted my credit card to file a chargeback. It's 2025, and customer service does not exist at Green's Babka. As mentioned by others, order from Zabar's or Goldbelly, and let them deal with the issues. read more

Dear Greens, This Christmas was the first time that I had ever tried a Babka. Our family friend Sharon, always sends us cinnamon & chocolate Rugala, which we ! However there was some confusion with the order our friend made, & we ended up with some loaves of Babka. !!!! . I could not be any happier with these new Babkas treats ! I have already started ordering some for us & for some of the people down here in Florida. Our primary address is at the very end of Long Island, But not far from Brooklyn. However, in the winter months we reside in Sarasota FL, , Where no one seems to even know what a Babka is !!! Thank you Sharon (Who always sends us stuff from greens bakery). Thank you for your wonderful moist & delicious treats that I will always be purchasing from now on - if not for me for other people as gifts. Please don't change a thing. .

I've been searching for a poppy seed babka for a long time and Greens did not disappoint. Their poppy seed Babka is loaded with filling and the pastry is just right. I've tried a few other things and they are perfect. When I opened the box the smell of the bakery permeated the room. And next day delivery! Order order order. Good thing I don't live close I would be there every day. read more

Horrible experience!! They don't value your business one bit. They ship out perishable items late and could care less if it arrives on time or even at all. Mine never arrived so I called a half dozen times and they just ignored my phone calls. The same for the emails. Once they have your money, you're screwed and since they have enough business, they really don't care. Based on the other complaints, I don't think they care if they get a poor review either. It's obvious they use caller ID to avoid calls from angry customers because they wouldn't answer my calls after they found out how pissed I was but if I called from a different number, they would answer the phone. If I had read the other negative reviews, I would have never purchased from this horrible business. Their attitude is despicable and I wouldn't recommend ordering anything from this bakery, especially if your doing it on-line and expecting it to be shipped. The only way to get their attention is to dispute the credit card charge. Depending upon what your looking for, I would recommend Russ & Daughters or Magnolia Bakery through Goldbelly. This way, if your order gets screwed up, Goldbelly is accountable and will make it right. read more

They tasted how they smelt. Imagine a cinnamon roll with less roll and more cinnamon sugar. The traditional one is sweet, more sweet than I had thought. I was mentally prepping myself for a cinnamon roll without the frosting which is somewhat bland you know? This had the sugar on it so there was somewhat a natural glaze. I paired the traditional one with coffee (no sugar but of course cream) and it was a great combo. I honestly have no idea how you're suppose to eat a Babka, but I treated it like a pastry and ate it with coffee which was good. The chocolate one I actually liked better than the traditional Babka. STORY TIME- I looked up Babka and it's a jewish/ Easter European pastry. The chocolate that they used definitely isn't your typical milk chocolate. The inner layers tasted like it consisted of bitter sweet chocolate chips or sauce, not really sure how they make it, but it made it a tiny bit less sweet and was perfect for me. read more

They have a very good website with a large range of options including some bundles. Traditional Cinnamon and Chocolate babka, regular and mini size. I ordered the mini chocolate babka and the "blue and white" instead of black and white cookies for Channukah cheer box I sent to a family friend plus some for our house. Both are delicious. Came securely packed and you can actually set the dates they are shipped out too/when you check out online--I did not realize this, but noted for next time. read more

Don't order for out of the state. It takes ages to get to you and by the time it gets there it is rotten. They use a very cheap service through UPS (and UPS is well known to be a very bad shipping company) and your money will go to waste. Also the ones that are NOT rotten will taste hard. If that is how they taste when they are fresh then do not buy at all. Order on Amazon. It is a little expensive but way better than this. read more

While visiting NYC, my friend and I ventured off to Brooklyn just to have been there. We wandered around by foot to take in the community. We really wanted babka while in NY, so we found this place. Of course I didn't note that it was their warehouse and we knocked on the door. Oops! They kindly let us in anyhow, and talked with us for a few minutes. They gave us a little tour, let us sample a cookie, and even let us buy some chocolate and cinnamon babka. I assumed that I would prefer the chocolate because I am obsessed, but they were both amazing!! We shared with colleagues and it didn't last long. Now to find a way to get more here in Southern California... read more

Their hamentashen is great and their black and white cookies are unbelievable. They send their stuff in 24 hours after baking. It is great to have real Jewish baked goods available in my area. I hope I don't get too fat. read more

For my 300th review, I've got to give big ups to Green's Bakery. They make the best babka ever. It's babkalicious. Ever since my bubbie passed away over two decades ago, I've craved a babka like only she could make. Mom was babka-deficient. She could bake but babka was not one of those baked goods she could make. So where could I find a babka as moist and chocolatey rich as what bubbie made? Enter Green Bakery. I discovered the at Zabars but really, you can get them at quite a few places. What makes them so good? I've heard they smuggle little Jewish Hungarian grandmothers into their kitchen to bake all these cakes individually, which I believe to be true. How else could they taste this good? read more

My mom's good friend sent the Round Cinnamon Babka out to California as a gift for my grandma. I don't know how they wrap it so it stays so fresh, but it was the best Babka I have ever had. Sugary, soft and tasty! read more

We received a Hanukkah mail order gift of a cinnamon and a chocolate babka. Absolutely the best babka we have ever eaten. It was fresh, moist and very tasty. The wonderful fragrance of the babka permeates our kitchen. Can't wait to try their other pastries. read more

The secret is out. Their babka is phenomenal. I have tasted their babka at Second Ave Deli and Russ & Daughters, as well as other fine establishments. What really impressed me was their website. I placed an order and within 48 hours my family in Boston received 2 chocolate babkas. This was through their standard ground shipping. Excellent +. read more

Shocked to read that my mail ordered poppy seed loaf had "artificial ingredients"...had to toss two marvelous looking loaves. Too bad is wasn't real. Sad. read more

I just purchased a loaf of the chocolate babka @ one of our local delis (California). This stuff is to die for! I would include a photo, but there are just crumbs and a ripped plastic wrapper left. I'm in Heaven. read more

When I saw the previous review for this place I decided to swing by when I was in the neighborhood. Turns out this is not a store but the baking facility of a Hasidic Jewish company that sends their goods to many stores that cater to Kosher diets. Their stuff is very good though. If you're a "freegan" into "urban foraging" they put a couple boxes of slightly older (but still good) baked goods by the delivery entrance (probably as a mitzvah by giving back to the community). I grabbed a chocolate babka and a bag of vanilla rugelach. Score! read more

Great sushi in the most unexpected place. The babka is amaZing & the tuna salad "vidout da egg" is worth the trip.

I've ordered nearly a couple of hundred dollars worth of their specialties over the last few months and I'm hooked. All their products are very reasonably priced, and quickly shipped. Only negative is the use of palm oil, and the rugelach are not made with butter. The chocolate items are far better than the cinnamon ones - which are way too intense ( and I love cinnamon). read more

Sent a variety of goods as a gift this month. Recipient was too embarrassed to tell me how bad they were. No taste, dry, heavy, unpalatable were the words she used to describe the pastries. Have two stars for fairly quick delivery.,Do not recommend!! read more

The best babka in the world, that simple. Also strictly kosher, yoshon, and pas yisroel. I don't need to say much more. The babka is moist, rich, and deeply chocolate-flavored. read more
