Who has the BEST babka (mail order)?

[Anonymous]

My dh and our friend have a long-standing joke based on the “better” babka. This friend and her family just suffered an unimaginable tragedy. Dh said he had to bring a babka to the shiva. We don’t live in an area with a lot of bakeries so I picked up a Trader Joe’s chocolate babka. It made our friend smile. I dropped something off at their house yesterday and she said someone sent them babka from Zabar’s and it is clearly the better babka. So, is there a chocolate babka that is better than Zabar’s? Trying to do all we can to distract this family during this terrible time…

Breads Bakery in NYC has the best I've ever had, but I don't know if they ship.

This one is really good if it's the one I'm remembering from East Coast corner stores! In DC - I feel like that market next to the Pan Asian place on Connecticut Ave carried Green's Chocolate Babka when I lived there a few years ago. That strip with the old Lobster Shack / tchotchkes shop / ice cream sandwich store, across Connecticut from Marco's Lebanese takeout.

I think Trader Joe's babka is actually from (or slightly tweaked from?) Green's.

I'd love to find a poppyseed babka, especially with a dash of good liquor added.

I think they sell this at my WF. Tbh, it didn’t look that appetizing which is why I got them TJ’s originally. This is op.

They do sometimes have this at the Silver Spring’s WF.
