When I called and asked them if they could provide the 2nd item, since I had guest coming over. They said no. So now I am going to the store to pick up a replacement dessert.

They were so delicious—a bit like a cross between a sweet Hawaiian roll and a donut. And the challah...the sea salt takes it to a whole other level. So glad to have these local bakers who deliver.

I'm disappointed that they've temporarily closed, but I can't wait to see what new ventures they undertake in the future. They make the best babkas in the city, and their challahs are not only beautiful but delicious as well. Their conchas and cookies are always a delightful treat, and they also bring in handmade goods from Mexico. If they pop up again, definitely give them a try!
