Great Harvest has a good one. Can’t not eat the whole loaf.

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.

Agree!! Love this and it’s a great gift. Walnut is my favorite.

I miss trader joe's cinnamon babka. It's good table babka.

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

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.

Sniders in Silver Spring.

I like cinnamon babka far more than chocolate. The chocolate ones are always dry.

On my way to Trader Joes for a cinnamon.

I'm pretty sure they discontinued it! I've been looking for it for almost a year now.

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

+1

Much better than Zabar’s mail order

Yes. They always have them right by the front door. Does in a pinch, but very sweet and ok.
