I've been going to the Kosher Pastry Oven for nearly 20 years and have always been amazed by the quality of their fantastic food whether it's been for breakfast, lunch or dinner, Shula, Poppi and their staff ensure a top notch dining experience from start to finish. And...Poppi makes the *best* desserts that you've ever tasted! read more

I was here one time in November 2019 with my ex. We wanted to try a local brunch place, and Kosher Pastry hit the mark. Service was good & food was great too. I got an omelette, which was delicious but a bit small, which came with a roll & side salad. Overall very good but portion size could've been more. read more

I love the coziness of this place. They're pricey for most things. Enjoy the desserts. I went in today to get lunch for my mom and then something to share w my husband. For the price of everything, I should have bought groceries and made this myself... the focaccia sandwich w/ tomato slices, sliced boiled egg, cheese and avocado. The bread was heavy and bland, although cheese was melted in the press, the sandwich wasn't very hot. Just boring. The lentil veggie soup was watery, salty and just plain mediocre. I also prefer a brownie. That was ok but for $40+ bucks, I could have just not purchased anything at all. read more

I, like everyone else during COVID quarantines, have spent too much time at home binge watching TV. I've been re-watching classics such as The Office, How I Met Your Mother, and of course Seinfeld. It was during one of these marathon binge watching sessions, that I came across episode 77, entitled "The Dinner Party" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dinner_Party_(Seinfeld)) I won't go into all the details, but the central theme focuses on that most traditional of Jewish breads, the babka. Talk of how the chocolate babka is superior to the cinnamon version (which it is) made me recall the bakery on the block I grew up in Brooklyn which was run by a nice family from Poland. I always looked forward to getting pipping hot potato knishes, lemon pound cakes, but especially the chocolate babka. I thankfully found the Kosher Pastry Oven Restaurant both on Yelp and from a friend of mine who's been coming here for many years. Conceptually the babka is quite simple. It is essentially a braided bread with lots of butter, spices, and chocolate that is interwoven throughout the loaf. In fact, during the last season of the Great British Baking show, there was even a challenge where contestants had to master this pastry (https://london.eater.com/21515590/great-british-bake-off-2020-gbbo-catch-up-chocolate-week-episode-4). Yes, I also was binging on past episodes of the British Bake-off. The version at the Kosher Pastry Oven, while not quite "New York" style, is pretty good. The bread itself is super moist and it is evident that high quality chocolate is used throughout. Cut a slice and you can see the intricate weave of bread and chocolate which indicates the time and care that goes into each loaf. At $15, it's not the cheapest chocolate bread, but I stop by here 2-3 month to pick one up since I love enjoying it on the weekends with my coffee as a treat. TIP: While the bakery makes 3-5 loaves for Friday sale before Saturday Sabbat, I recommend calling on Wednesday or Thursday to special order one to ensure they'll have a chocolate babka available for sale. I've also had other items from the pastry case with my favorites being the heavenly pecan tart and lemon mouse cake. The fresh challah bread is also great for homemade French Toast and just snacking with some butter and marmalade. I've never had any of the savory items, but once COVID lockdowns have been lifted, I'll dine in to sample some of the wares. On most days, you're likely to find Shula Eloul and her son Ron running the front of the house operations, while husband Arie is the back tending to the kitchen. The Kosher Pastry Oven is just the type of local business that I'm happy to support and hopes will continue to thrive for years to come. read more

We ordered our wedding cake from KPO and were not disappointed. We were directed here by our caterer, Signature Catering, and all our friends agreed, this is the best. We ended up getting a three layered hazelnut cake with chocolate buttercream, and ganache frosting with lovely pink flowers. It was beautiful, and most importantly, it was delicious!! read more

Stopped in to pick something up and thought to sit for a bit with a double espresso and what looked like a chocolate croissant. This was the most delish chocolate croissant I've ever had. I meant to eat half and wasn't planning on doing a review and here I am writing a review and no croissant to show for it because I ate it all! I'll have to worry about working off these calories later, but the yumminess was worth every single one! I've attached a picture of all of the croissants sitting there so don't think I bought all of these and... I'm getting outta here before I buy another for the road! The double espresso in the glass mug was very nice as well! read more

One word -- microaggression. I came here with my dad this morning to grab some breakfast while waiting for our MVA appt time. The employees here are RUDE. One older lady from behind the counter looked up, saw us and rolled her eyes at us on her way to the kitchen (we were the only Black people in the entire eatery). The other young girl at the register finished helping the couple in front of us and never once looked up at me to say "I'll be right with you" or "hello." She ignored me for the longest time while I just stood there waiting to make our order. After a few minutes she asked "yes, what can I get you?" I asked if we could get two bagels with cream cheese, she said they had none. This is my fault, we should've left after the eye roll. Never coming back here again, and I'll safely go out on a limb and advise people who look like me to patron at their own risk. read more

I had the Nicoise Salad for lunch and I thought most of the salad was great with the exception of the albacore tuna. The tuna was so incredibly dry and chewy that my jaw hurt afterwards. They shouldn't serve tuna if it's going to be inedible. The best parts of the salad was the haricot vert which were crunchy and the seasoned potatoes. Pro tip: once you drive down the street you should veer to the left shopping center. If you go to the right you'll have to turn around, there's not cut through. read more

Although the bakery part of this shop was great, friendly and food was fabulous the next door deli really made me feel badly ripped off. Being that it was the beginning of the new year I did not want to make a scene but as I drove home I realized how ripped off and bad I felt. I ordered 2 large containers of tuna fish to take home and was given 2 small containers, about 4 ozs each and was charged 12$ . When at home my husband complained about how dry it was.I did not dare tell him how much I paid. I will continue to shop at the bakery but will never return to the deli.shame on them especially on Rosh Hashanah. read more

Best raspberry sufganiot ever! Don't worry if there's a long line-- the wait goes quickly and the strangers are all friendly.

At the first of this year I made a resolution to be more adventuresome and try some of many Wheaton restaurants that I hadn't already. And then came March and restaurants had to close and their businesses suffered. We decided to support our favorites and our quest to explore new options would have to wait. On our list of old favorites was carry-out lunch from The Kosher Bakery. I love the salad nicoise. I can make one myself but there is something about theirs that I really enjoy. Maybe their dressing? Anyway, one salad is plenty for two of us for lunch. They have sandwiches and entrees also, but we always like the salad. Rich picked it up and said the pastry case was not fully stocked, but that's not surprising under the current circumstances. read more

Very good food! Everything is fresh, the fish, the pasta, the salads, the dessert.... Good!! We came here for birth celebration of our friends and the evening was so much fun, we put music in Hebrew and dance, it's feel like in Israel.. Recommended! read more

The Kosher Pastry Oven Restaurant has been around since the early '90s and offers non-dairy (Pareve) desserts that are all made in-house. There are mousse cakes (strawberry Bavarian, lemon mousse, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, double chocolate mousse, chocolate hazelnut, and black forest), roladas (rolled mousse cakes), tarts and pies (apple custard, pecan, apple raisin, lemon, chocolate linzer, raspberry linzer, and fresh fruit), pastries and cookies (such as the Napoleon, eclairs, brownies (gluten-free), Danishes, croissants, etc.), and babkas. There's also a cafe menu that offers various breakfast platters, sandwiches, and dinner options (salads, flatbreads, pastas, and fish). The hubs tried their Egg Salad Sandwich (you can opt for either wheat or foccacia - the hubs opted for the foccacia, and this was filled with their homemade egg salad; the foccacia was thin and grilled, and the egg salad itself needed a bit more seasoning and more mayo; it was definitely healthy-tasting, though); the sandwich also came with a side of corn 'salad' (that had some hardboiled egg whites and a vinegar-esque type of dressing). We were a little disappointed, as the croissants and the bagels were all out T____T I chose a selection for dessert box: a Napoleon (the creamed filling was good, but the puff pastry layers in between were a little stale/soggy); the Blondie (an oversized triangular-shaped chocolate chip type of hard scone, dipped in chocolate; this was not too sweet); a Raspberry Linzer (this was super delicious, as it had an almond crust and filled with some raspberry puree); a mini lemon tart; and, a brownie (which also happened to be GF; but, don't let this fool you - it was super fudge-like, chocolate-y, and delicious; it even contained little whole bits of chocolate chips!). The staff were friendly, and any dine-in items are delivered to your table. I'd like to come back and try out the rest of their pastries as well as their bagels and croissants! Plenty of parking available in the shared plaza lot. +Raspberry Linzer :D +brownie :D +Kosher pastries/desserts +friendly staff +ample amount of parking in shared plaza lot read more

I cannot find the words to describe my experience at KPO! The restaurant is small but very cozy. It is clear that the food is fresh and when it was delivered to my table with a warm smile by Tali- I was sold. I will definitely be returning to try more items on the menu! Thank you KPO! read more

I hate to trash on a small family establishment, but this place is about as bland as it gets. Bland omelets, bland sandwiches, flavorless breads, dull salads, shakshouka that tastes like canned tomatoes and peppers. Service is painfully slow. Prices are not cheap for what you get (after all, it's not as if they are paying for kosher meat). If you keep kosher and are looking for a dairy restaurant, there are unfortunately few choices. Perhaps that's why this place has received good ratings (though surprisingly this place has very few dairy dishes... where are the blintzes, for example?). If you don't keep kosher and are looking for a flavorful, authentic Jewish dairy experience, I can't help you other than to say keep looking. read more

This place was great. It's a combo deli/bakery and it was bursting with life when I went on a Sunday for "brunch". The place was packed because someone called in an order for 500 doughnuts and that took up a lot of time for the kitchen. The place is split with the food counter on the left as you come in and the bakery counter on the right. The seating is very simple with utilitarian chairs and tables. There were several families there for Sunday brunch. There are also spaces outside to sit if it gets too crowded, luckily I was able to snag a place inside because it was just cold enough outside to make I ordered the salmon platter and my friend got the salmon/cream cheese bagel. They give you good salmon for the bagel which was very tender and tasty. I also got a coffee. It took a little bit of time to get the food but not very long considering how many people were in there. The bagels appear to be toasted in a panini press which tastes the same, but this makes them more flat than I am used to. Everything was pretty tasty, so I would definitely come back. The platter comes with extra salmon, a roll and salad so if you aren't in the mood for that stuff then just go for the salmon/cream cheese bagel. The salad could have used some more dressing but it was probably just the distribution. If I go back there then I will just get it on the side. The place is out of the way from the main drag of Silver Spring, so this would be for more special occasions (for me, anyway). read more

My wife found this place after her appointment in Wheaton. My wife's diet is vegan-ish. My diet is not necessarily. :) We went to the Kosher Pastry Oven restaurant. I had the Caprese wrap (Mozzerella, Basil, Lettuce, Olive oil, in a spinach wrap) and White bean soup. All were very delicious and the sandwich wrap had a side of a corn salad with onion and a dressing of mayo, salt and pepper, and other ingredients i forgot. I never had this salad combo before but again, this item was highly delicious. Sitting in a old school shopping center (Kemp Mill Center), off of Arcola Road, this unassuming place has some very tasty -- and healthy vegan-friendly -- food. When we make the trip from Bowie for mu wife's future appointments, we will definitely try this place again. read more

I come to eat breakfast here every morning and enjoy it more each time! Very nice people and very good food as well! Highly recommended!!! read more

We placed an order as we were visiting family from afar. We called to check on the order in route and were spoken to rudely. We came to pick up the order and it did not exist. We were told that they were too busy to even take our order. We finally said that we came from a distance and not being served is unacceptable. Then the person stopped being abrasive took our order for pickup nearly an hour later. The kindest thing we can say is that they were so busy that they were very frazzled. But even then this does not condone treating patrons without any provocation so dismissively. read more

The most delicious lemon cake is here. A nice neighborhood spot that has plenty of repeat business. Pleasant service.

Don't let the funky chic coffe house vibe fool you- the dinner menu is truly high end restaurant quality! The green olive gnocchi and the bass were particularly superb, and the lemon tart, pecan pie and key lime pie were amazing. Will be coming back. Update: I tried the cheesecake. It's truly the best one I've ever had: light and fluffy while still velvety and creamy, sweet but not too sweet. Just perfect. read more

I honestly don't get the hagiographic reviews this place has! "Overpriced and devoid of ANY flavor " is how I'd describe the food here in one sentence . I mean they use good ingredients and make things on premises but rarely have I been to place where the food is this bland and soulless! Everything tastes the same including the soup--everything is incredibly bland and everything is way overpriced including the tepid coffee! read more

This place is a delicious hidden gem. The napoleon was just right not too sweet and ghetto Phyllo dough is still crispy. The tart... that I couldn't get enough of and wished I bought more.

The Blondie was too sweet, I thought it was a big chunk of biscotti but it wasn't.... read more

We've had some mousse cakes from here (tiramisu and strawberry) and were thoroughly impressed with them so we gave them a visit initially on a Saturday but to no avail! They are not open on Saturdays. So, some months later we had some time to go on Sunday. This is a very charming bakery with very pleasant owners. They were very gracious and thoughtful. We ordered the double chocolate mousse cake and two slices of the strawberry bavarian rolada. The cakes are hard to describe; they are rich, moist, and light at the same time. They are unlike any other cakes we have ever tasted; you can tell that the owners care about their product and this is manifested in the taste and texture of each bite. The have absolutely the best sufaniot (jelly donut) I have had, but they are only available for one week only during the year. I would definitely come back again to pick up another cake for any type of celebration. read more

I would recommend and have recommend this place to others for the following: 1. Excellent friendly customer service: Example: gave me complimentary water bottles for a to go order 2. Food is always prepared in a timely manner If dining in: fresh dinner rolls are given and first course will be out within 15mins or less To go: within 15-20mins ***there might be a few minutes delay during lunch rush 3. Adorable family business Son cooks Daughter in law greets and manages the main floor 4. FOOD IS FOODGASIM worthy --- eat any tart I absolutely love the tomato tart... It's my favorite with garlic to enhance the flavors and simple but great 5.The dinning area is cozy and classy It's got that Bethesda cafe mix vibe TRY IT !!!! LOVE IT !!!! GET HOOKED read more

I didn't like my experience at this place. There were not enforcing mask wearing, the cashier/owner was brusque & rude. They didn't have what I wanted, so I ordered a large latte, which was advertised, but they didn't have the cups, so I had a medium. It was way too strong, so I threw it out. I order almond cookies, because I love them. I'm Italian, and I make almond cookies, so I know almonds. If there was almond in the cookies, you would have needed a magnifying glass to find a piece of almond. They were plain vanilla extract cookies. Sooo disappointed. read more
