The chocolate babka is legendary for a reason. I had one bite, and that led me to go out of the store with three loaves, confident that my loved ones will like it.

I've only had Breads in the form of people bringing pastries to me, but wow is it amazing! Everything I've had -- chocolate croissant, tomato galette, rugelach... -- has been wonderfully fresh, flaky, and flavorful. I wish we had a place like this in Boston!

This place offered much needed solice from a too warm day in the city, with my husband ailing from the heat. An unassuming bakery with incredible staff and food (try the Spinach & Feta Bureka!!! 🤤🤤🤤), we will definitely be back the next time we visit!

📍Breads Bakery (Broadway), NY Almond croissant 🥐 Chocolate rugelach 🍫 Brewed coffee ☕️ Cappucino ☕️ Food: The almond croissant was baked perfectly- flaky and crispy outside, soft and buttery inside. The almond filling smelled amazing and tasted very natural. It was a bit on the sweeter side, but still really good!! Every bite brought so much happiness 😆 The chocolate rugelach was also delicious! It was lighter than the croissant but still rich in flavor. Both the brewed coffee and cappuccino were smooth and rich! Service: The staff were super friendly and full of energy! They created such a warm and happy vibe that felt like the perfect way to start the morning ❤️ Environment: They had utensils, napkins, water, and different types of milk (oat, almond, whole) available for self-serve! Though the café is small, it is kept very tidy and organized. The outdoor seating was also well-maintained and is great for enjoying your drink while watching people walk by, cars on the road, and even pigeons flying around. Overall: Definitely a 5/5!! If I were staying in the area longer, I’d come here all the time. This place just gives you a happy, feel-good morning 😁

It was early, they had just opened and bread carts were everywhere. But that didn't stop them from putting on a balancing act that was very impressive. I was not in a hurry and enjoyed watching the bread being put out and the sound of the espresso machine. The Mocha is delicious and the breakfast sandwich definitely hit the spot.
