    My family always buys & never really bakes Challah cause we really like bakery Challah a lot! we’re always checking out new great places to buy our Challah for Shabbos! and i was wondering where you all get your Challah in the NY area?!

    current great favorite place, we really like is the Heimishe Bakery on New Utrech Ave. between 48th & 49th street, under the train tracks!

    That was obvious Mr. Squeak.

    Do you prefer Grods in Edgeware over Golders Green like I do?

    My personal favourite, however, is Mr Baker in Hendon

    #686289

    Well well, one of the mods appears to be getting around the bakeries… 😛

    GG on GG Road.I especially like how you can feel like you are being squeezed through a toothpaste tube as you walk through the narrow half of the store.

    SJSinNYC: have ya tried Purple Pear’s cinnamon rolls/danishes in Teaneck!? they are out of this world!

    another few favorite bakeries for challos, of mine are actually:

    1)Gombo’s in Fallsburg, NY

    2)Sammy’s Bagel Shop in Monsey used to make the best Challos out there! i think they either closed or just stopped making challos all together! i guess we can just ask mod72 what happened to Sammy’s Bagel Shop in Monsey ny!

    3)Gross’s Bakery makes the best water Challos!

    oh & if ya ever go to that ”Heimishe Bakery” on New Utrech between 48th & 49th, that i said makes amazing challos! get the ”Football Challah”! ask the worker for it, it really is so amazing!

    speaking of the country, Fealkoff’s Bakery in Monticello, the Gas station bakery near before the town of Monticello-not far from Wal-Mart, both makes really tasty challos! & the Four Courner’s Bakery’s challos are freat too!

    Jax, the Purple Pear is in Monsey. Unless there is another branch I don’t know of? But no, I have not tried them and they sound yummy. Way to tempt a pregnant woman when she has no chance of getting there!

    Sammy’s Bagels is still around. The business was sold twice (I think) since the original owner. I don’t know about the challah though.

    My all time favorite challah is water challah from Gideon’s Bakery (Gruenebaum’s in Washington Heights). I don’t think they are still open though. They also had awesome black and white cookies.

    If I don’t bake challos, then I go to the Bread Basket on kingshighway. Usually you can buy challah piping hot out of the oven. Just make sure the bag it in a brown paper bag, so they don’t get soggy. They have a great whole wheat challah. They also have a “Shalom Bayis Challah” which is a breakway half which is white and half whole wheat.

    SJSinNYC: i actually never even walked in to Purple Pear, a friend who used to go to both Teaneck & Monsey a lot from work & used to bring stuff back from Purple Pear! ha sorry about that, but they are really great their Cinnamon rolls/danishes!

    is Poppey’s Bagel place in Teaneck then?!

    Sammy’s used to make the best whole wheat challos, i’m no whole wheat fan, but those were really really good!

    Is there any connection between Sammy’s Bagels (USA) and Sam’s Bagels in Geula (Israel)?

    areivim, Sam’s Bagels in Geula is an awesome place! Don’t know if there’s any connection between Sam’s and Sammy’s.

    btw, areivim, cool that we’re on the same time. That doesn’t happen too often.

    Recently, Cake Center was bought by the closed Chiffon Bakery on Coney Island Avenue and the new owners switched to baking challos/challa rolls the Chiffon Bakery way.

    PLEASE Chiffon, PLEASE! Bring back the Cake Center recipe. It was unique and the best; no other challa bakery came close. So Chiffon/Cake Center, at least give us a choice of challos, give us back our Oneg Shabbos, and we will be forever grateful.

    A relative of mine who lives in Passaic, brought some delicious bakery goods from a bakery there called Zeidy’s. (I think that was it.) I have tasted baked goods from all over, and Zeidy’s stuff was sooooo amazing! I didn’t taste their challahs, but if they ever open a store in NY, I am so there!

    One word: Scrumptious!

    I agree the best place in NY that I’ve tasted is schreibers…though we usually make the kosher by design bread machine challah and I just let it rise all day (already braided) while I cook e/t else…it comes out heavenly!

    The Hamodia had an article this week about a bread called “cheskals breas”.

    It is baked by Weiss bakery in BP (13 & 49)and its full of grains and beans(imitated from the galus bread described in sefer Yescheskel).

    Its a very healthy bread, rich in fiber & protien, yet low in carb. Very beneficial to ur health.

    I would like to try it. They say its very tasty too.

    Can’t answer the OP — we rarely buy challah.

    smartcookie: Sounds similar to Ezekial bread, which was inspired by sefer Yecheskel. It is made by a company called Food for Life, and has a Chof-K pareve hechsher. You can get it at health food stores. Very healthful – and tasty, especially toasted.

    i know this was probly just started as a fun topic – but i think we might be getting into loshon hora when we name bakery names and dis certain types….internet loshon hora is very scary as it spreads to so many people so quickly. (telephone, telegraph, tell-a-woman, tel-a-blog………)

    My mothers challah beats the stores way way… but if I cant then shloimys on 16 and 43 is great. They are so fresh and delicous. I usually buy them hot out of the oven. YUM

    I make my own 100% whole wheat challah every week. Even kids like my challah, as well as some very picky adults. 🙂

    smart cookie – the company “BEST FLOUR” produces a flour called “Yechezkel’s flour”

    I’ve never used it but I gather that this is what you are talking about.

    anonowriter: Is it really “100% whole wheat”? Usually, that makes it very heavy and dense. I usually see whole wheat challah recipes call for a certain % white flour mixed in. (Often 1/2)
