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!
Note: this thread is for pure enjoyment & not for advertisement purposes!
Grods
ShopRite.
Or Butterflake Bakery (in Teaneck). They are awesome!
gross bakery on 16th and 54th is very good.also yossis sweethouse has a challah called italian challah its the best out there.its like a water challah
Hershey’s in LKWD
squeak- who or what is Grods :O
areivim – its a shop (though it’s full name is Grodzinski) in London
<baiting 39>
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
Well well, one of the mods appears to be getting around the bakeries… 😛
cant reveal favorite favorite, but also very good (maybe equally as good) is Schreibers!
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.
Shreibers
kapusta, goody, I agree! They’re the best.
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.
yep- Gombo’s
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.
Poppy’s Bagels is in Teaneck and was opened by the original owners of Sammy’s Bagels.
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.
No one mentioned Ostrovitsky’s?
Best challa is the homemade variety. non-negotiable.

the most heimish challos are shpoimys bakery on new utrect!!

They are delish, believer. Of course, though, nothing comes close to home made.

anonymiss: agreed! my sister makes really good challa!
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 like homemade better.,does bagel nosh in lakewood sell chalah? I got crave for a bagel there.
If anyone’s interested in a delicious six grain challah, try strauss’s bakery in BP on 13 and 52. The tastiest 6 grain challah!!! Costs about $6.50 a challah.

Best bagels anywhere – The Original Brooklyn Bagel on Nostrand Ave
NY Mom, they do have great bagels, and they have good ww bagels!
if you want to risk having other great bagels, try
let me know what you think!
Who else in Brooklyn makes a good mixed grain or whole spelt Challah?
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.
Shalom foods!
Can’t answer the OP — we rarely buy challah.
The Wolf
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)
