Kaff’s Bakery

Rugelach consistently delicious as is cheese danish and challah!
The unfriendly girl has not been around and everyone else I’ve met has been very friendly.

The best chocolate babka in the world, period. And the chocolate Danish are to die for!

Past by this bakery on a number of occasions, finally decided to try it last week. The place is pretty clean, and well lit. There were racks of donuts on the side and the main staple are their loaf breads. I decided to taste their caramel filled donut, and a chocolate Bavarian cream. Got to the register, and was about to pay when I noticed more desserts on the display. So, I got the mocha cream chocolate sponge cake. The cake tasted good, with a hint of lemon in the inner layers. Price is above average, but every once in a while is okay.

The tastes are ok, and prices are very cheap, but how about the sanitation? Got diarrhea twice from eating baked foods here. Their breads with sesame constantly has a mouldy smell. And the do not have letter grading, very suspicious.

5 stars for the challah. Have only had the challah. But 5 stars for the challah, and also looking like the bakeries of my childhood, right down to the white-​and-​red striped string on a big spool on the counter.
Yay.

I don’t have much to compare it to but the challah bread was good. The fruit and chocolate filled pastries are worth getting. Take out only! Nowhere to sit.

I was on my way to an early dinner when I spotted a man packing two huge, open boxes full of challah into his car. I was secretly plotting how to pilfer one when the sight of a window full of challah stopped me in my tracks. All I could think of was tearing into a loaf and hopefully having enough left for french toast. Mmmmm, bread! I *heart* carbs! So I gleefully stepped inside, happy that I didn’t have to commit a crime for my challah! Yay!
I tried my best to stay out of the way of the guys that were packing loaf after loaf of challah into boxes. Not sure if they were from a temple, but they were literally walking around the store and just grabbing tons of stuff before they paid and lugged all their goodies outta there. So jealous! I looked in the display case at all the rugelach, lace cookies and other goodies and thought it best to just grab a challah and get out of there before I just had pastries for dinner.
The challah was pretty good. I thought the first piece was slightly dry, but it may have been because it was one of the butt ends. But, they made perfect slices of french toast the next day as they soaked up all the yummy eggy goodness. I also made myself a slice of toast this morning and the texture was much improved. Guess their challah just needs a bit of warmth before it reveals its full potential.
I’d stop back in here again to try a sweet treat. They all looked delish! Next time!

I went there this afternoon to finally knock this place off my To Try list. I walked in and the smell alone would bring me back any day of the week. It was so wonderfully sweet and bready and delicious, I actually couldn’t concentrate for a minute or two.
The woman I spoke to was polite, and my gushing about the smell and asking questions warmed her up and she wound up suggesting some sort of spinach-​filled pastry that was pretty yummy.
What I got: a single challah roll and the spinach pastry thing.
What I thought: While both were good, I feel like both could have been better — from this place. I liked the spinach thing more than the challah — though I think I’m spoiled by the challah I used to get on the UWS from Silver Moon Bakery. I’m going to try and go back in the morning, when things are fresh out of the oven — I think both items will be vastly improved by a little heat.
Overall: I plan on going back here a few more times to really round out my review — and there was nothing from my first visit to lead me to believe that I won’t get as good or better food next time!

Really good challah bread perfect for French toast on a Sunday morning. The cookies are so yummy as well as the roll-​up cakes covered in sprinkles. It’s right of the train station at Fort Hamilton Parkway (D train), so I stop in there on the way to work sometimes. 90 cent coffee plus a black n’ white cookie or a cheesey pastry makes for a great walk to work, especially with such warm greetings from the lady that works there int he mornings.

i love the lady that works here in the mornings. «hello, honey. what are you looking for today? try the potato knish. it’s delicious.» she says everything is delicious and she’s right. after a long night at work a treat from Kaff’s is just what i need in the morning.

A co-​worker brough in these little rolls from there place, and, while they looked good enough to try, I could not explain how they tasted. I mean, maybe my expectations were just low, but wow, they were like out of my gentile world. They now how to bake up some great breakfast roll-​thingies, and some breakfast-​potato-​thingys (I think it was potato), and some great cheese-​danish-​breakfast-​roll-​thingies. A definate try if you like those kind of thingies.
