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?
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!
