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.


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

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

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.

Kossar’s bialys

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

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

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.

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