This is our synagogue's store for choice for catering most dairy kiddushes or meals. Bagels, onion rolls, and challah rolls come sliced most times, and they're always fresh, although the bagels aren't that good, especially when compared to other stores in the area. They arrange very nice fruit platters, rugelach trays, and cookie platters. The cakes are very good and pleasing to the eye, although I found the rugelach to be dry. The cream cheese platter has always a nice variety of spreads, including butter, plain cream cheese, vegetable cream cheese, and olive cream cheese, and sadly, on a recent occasion, the olive cream cheese had an odd plastic texture and weird, off flavor. Marble cake is always moist and a winner from this store. The jelly donuts we got from there for Chanukah were as heavy as door stoppers, real belly bombs that linger in the stomach like lead bricks. Greasy and filled with that generic red fruit-flavored goop. The lukshen noodle kugel is pretty good, crispy on top, although I wish they made a dairy version with farmer's cheese, butter, and sour cream, instead of the parve version currently being offered. Presser's, though, tastes like the memories of my synagogue, and should our shul have to close due to dwindling funds and membership, Presser's will always provide a taste of home for me. I'm feeling emotional as I write this review.
