Have you been to Breads Bakery, located at 3rd Ave and 74th?
Years ago, I went to the Union Square location that serves as the company’s production hub, and was blown away by the baked goods. When they recently opened a location on the Upper East Side, I was thrilled.
People go nuts for the black and whites (I like mine more cake-y than croissant-y), but my absolute favorite things to get at Breads is the challah and the chocolate babka, which is swirled with Nutella and dark chocolate. But there’s also the sourdough baguette, buttery croissants, and a really good cinnamon roll. I also love that you can order loaves and bread online as a gift. What bakeries do you love on the UES?
