You think the better babka comes from... Michigan? You must be from Michigan.

NP here. Have you ever had it? It's both chocolate and cinnamon.

And raisins? Just… no.

It didn't have raisins when I had it a couple years back. My brother lives in Ann Arbor and I often go to Zingerman's on visits for their chocolate sourdough.

That and fragles (fried raising bagel) another Ann Arbor specialty.

NY Jew here, transplanted to DC. Zingermans is awesome - everything we have ever had from there is terrific, including the babka

The Babka from Kossar’s is awesome. Much Better than Zabar’s or Russ and Daughters though Russ and Daughters lox is the best.

SERIOUSLY...I found the Best babka in the world BUT they don't ship. FLAKOWITZ IN Boynton Beach, Florida

Oneg babka is so chocolate-y and rich. Order the double chocolate! Your friends will be awestruck.

I agree Trader Joe’s is good.

The problem, for me, is that Breads uses Nutella and I don’t prefer that taste to actual plain chocolate.

I have not had Zabar’s.

If you move to cookies, black and whites from Zabar’s are good. But those from Wm. Greenbergare better. Or Levain cookies,too.

I am in NY perhaps obviously.

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.

I see this at grocery stores as well.

Povitica is babka's Croatian cousin and, with apologies to my Polish ancestors, I think it's better. I send the ones from Strawberry Hill all the time to folks and I've never been disappointed. https://strawberryhill.com/

Breads via Goldbelly.

This is far above anything sold locally. WF and Trader Joe’s are too dry.
