Reisman's Bakery Chocolate Babka Cake, Fresh Dessert, Nut-Free and Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake, OU Kosher-Certified Babka Bread, 1 lb, Pack of 1

I ask you, BEG you to read all of this review. Because I have to share something with you. This was my first time ordering a Reisman's Bakery product from Amazon. I thought I knew what I was doing, but I was wrong. I thought that by ordering just ONE chocolate babka, I was doing myself some sort of favor. When I should have ordered HALF A DOZEN of these incredibly tasty pastries. You think you know willpower? You don't. Not until you've enjoyed a slice of this sweet, twisty dough loaded with swirls of decadent, rich chocolate. You enjoy a warm slice, and then you carefully deposit the rest of the container someplace out of sight. "Once slice is all I need. I can save the rest for tomorrow." No. No you can't. And no you won't. "Addictive" is a word that doesn't begin to describe how amazing this cake is. Perhaps there are those of you out there who can enjoy a slice of this sweet cakey goodness with a hot cup of tea or coffee, and you're content for the rest of day. I envy your strength. I enjoyed a slice, indulging myself even without a beverage. I tried to tuck it away in the pantry, convincing myself that I would simply tell my Wife the whereabouts of the babka later, and touch no more of it.... So five minutes later, I'm holding the open container in my hands, basking in all of it's sweet, spiral glory. And ask I'm enjoying a bite, our toddler strolls into the kitchen to show me something. I freeze. As she begins to speak, the wheels slowly start to turn in her head. "What's that?" It's cake. "Can I try some?" Now, what is a man to do. Yes, I love my Daughter more than life itself. But how do I enable her at such a young age? Once she gets the taste for it, there's no turning back. I've already spared her from rugelach, yet now I've been caught in the middle of a fix. I hand her the other half of the slice. "Mmmmmmmmm" she mutters between hurried little bites. I slowly reflect on what I've just done. Okay, the cat's out of the bag, let me go share it with my Wife. Company is over. My Wife is entertaining guests, another couple we're friends with. I hand her the babka, explain to her who made it. She takes a bite, and her entire expression changes into that of pure bliss. Our friends that are over bear silent witness to this exchange. My Wife hands a piece to her friend, who takes a bite, and can only regain her senses enough to say "wow." She hands the slice to her boyfriend, who also indulges. Good, this is good. They're sharing the same slice. More babka for me. We'll still have some by tomorrow. It's now morning. The babka never made it through the night. Perhaps there is a babka detox somewhere out here. I'll never know the answer to that. Because I just completed an order for Reisman's for three more babka, chocolate rugelach, raspberry swirl rugelach, and a poppy seed roll. The last time I ordered, Amazon said the delivery would take weeks (it took three days). So like any responsible, rational human being, I will repeatedly go to the window every afternoon for the next few days. Glancing through the blinds, waiting for the mail carrier. Do not order just one. DO NOT order just one. You will be jonesing for babka with no place to get your fix. Order at least two, so that you've got something on standby for when the first babka is no more. I normally don't recommend ordering baked goods from Amazon, or online bakeries, but this is easily an exception. So add it to your cart, place your order, and see for yourself why this babka has so many positive reviews.

OMG !!! I love this Babka it is so Fresh and tastes so good , it reminds me of Home when my Mom use to bake this and other Goody’s . The Texture is Wonderful so is the Taste , the Cake Quality is Fantastic as soon as I got it out of the Box it came in it looked sooooo Good and inviting to eat a Piece of it and yes I did it melted in my Mouth it wasn’t to Dense and yes it is sturdy too it doesn’t fall apart I totally recommend this and I also got me the Poppyseed Role from this Bakery also very , very Good

This is delicious. Growing up in NJ for Christmas & Easter we would alway have Babka & stollens, now living in NC I cannot find it anywhere. This year I found Reisman & decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad we did. So tasty, fresh & brought back the memories of my childhood at Christmas.

It is insane how good this is. I was sick for several days last month and had no appetite...nothing sounded good to me. Then this babka that I had ordered previously came in the mail. I couldn't keep out of it. I hid it in my closet so I didn't have to share... don't tell my husband. It's all gone anyway. Update: However my recent order was a total disappointment. Very dry which is unusual because I have ordered this more times than I care to admit I contacted seller and they made good, hence the 4- star review.

Moist and delicious. Sent as a gift. Recipient loved it!

I recommend the cinnamon. The chocolate is very dry....

Very fresh and lots of chocolate. No need for you to slice cake, it comes sliced. Not sharing with anyone (LOL).

I don't want to cancel
