Moishes Kosher Bakery

This bakery is awesome! I stopped by while visiting the Tenement Museum (also awesome) and got the chocolate bell. It was so good I stopped on the way back and got another!
Aside from the amazing bell I talked to the workers there and that was such a treat. They were incredibly friendly (so rare around here!) and they explained to me all about kosher foods and baked goods. I met three different workers there on both occasion and they were each just as kind-​hearted.
Definitely stop by. It is such a unique space. I love it.

Alll I can say is Yum! The cookies are relish and the people behind the counter are so nice.

This place has the best rye bread in the world. seeded or unseeded, there is no better rye bread anywhere.

The other Moishe’s bakery — not the best rugelach, but so much better than at Moishe’s in the EV. Friendly owners.

Been buying bread and sweets from here for almost 2 decades, I’m still a big fan of their rainbow cakes and black & white cookies.

the bakery needs a total remolding. its old and doesnt look as clean as it should be, but their fresh rye bread is delicious, and some of the cakes are good,

Their baked goods come from elsewhere so they are never really fresh. There are tasty goodies here but unless you are desperate and do not want to travel to a real Jewish bakery, this could suffice. DO NOT DRINK THE COFFEE. The coffee pot looks like it has never been washed and tastes accordingly. If dingy floors and generally unclean environment bother you, I would stay away. They can be a little pushy sometimes when they are trying to get rid of something that is obviously no longer fresh.

They might not make anything at this location. They may get everything from off-​premises. The place might be a little messy. The lines might move at a painfully slow pace. They might sell baked goods that are not actually Kosher. It might not be the cheapest place in the world.
But I’ll be damned it the chocolate babka wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, and the challah rolls — back at my cousin’s place and stuffed with cheesy scrambled eggs — were pretty great as well.

I feel so mothered when I come in here. I know I wrote about my surrogate Jewish mom at East Broadway Kosher. But things have changed. I have a new mom now.
The dark-​haired lady who works here is really sweet and insisted on feeding me samples on a recent visit. One was the tsibele kichel, oily little dough squares topped with onions and poppy seeds, only available on Thursdays and Fridays. Like focaccia run over with a roller, drizzled with oil and baked again. Addictive would be putting it lightly. Get a bag, grab a beer and you’re in business.
I was also fed a spicy egg and potato kugel, sold by the slab. It’s a great snack for a packed lunch. I crave savory more often than sweet, but the cinnamon sticks keep me coming back too. A finger-​shaped cinnamon roll with a crystallized, sugary cinnamon crust on the bottom. Bakery surrogate mom made fun of me when I said I only wanted four, and told me she could finish four in a minute.
Aside from a matronly desire to fatten me up and teach me Yiddish names of baked goods, doting mockery is an important trait to look for in a bakery surrogate mother. I asked if one of the pumpernickel loaves I saw had raisins. «Well I can confirm that your eyes are still good honey,» she said. «How much would you like?»

Generic baked goods — taste factory-​made. If you were to throw one of their hamantashens at a dog you could really hurt it. The old lady behind the counter was really sweet though. I just wish she baked the stuff the way a grandmother from the old country would.

I’ve been to this bakery at least 20 times, whenever I visit my friend who lives along FDR Drive. I’ve been meaning to write this review, but it’s only now that I’ve been able to make it, as I usually forget to write down details of their location. The place actually looks somewhat rundown, but you’d be surprised by their offerings. My friend was the one who introduced me to this bakery which was not looking interesting the first time we went there; but I soon have realized they’ve got one of the best tasting bread products in NYC, I’ll SAY without reservation. Very rich, traditionally baked and prepared; a bit pricey, but well worth the money. I just feel somewhat «looked down» by the people on their counter, perhaps because I looked different & with a different accent, i.e. an Asian versus them who are attired in conservative Jewish attire (fascinating to look at, actually)…don’t really know, but i’d still say they’re one of the best among bakeries around in the city.
