  • Green’s Bakery is the biggest babka wholesaler in New York City. Seen everywhere from iconic delis like Katz’s to popular groceries like Dean & Deluca and Whole Foods, Green’s babkas have become a staple in the city. The family-run business continues to use the same traditional recipe from Chana Green, an immigrant who came to the United States from Hungary after World War II. Producer Medha Imam visited the Brooklyn factory to get a behind-the-scenes tour and learn how the small business turned its moist bread and chocolate babka recipe into a gastronomic institution.

    I grew up getting this from Zabar's in NYC, it is a staple food in my family and is absolutely delicious. Whenever we would visit friends in other parts of the country, they would ask us to bring them Green's babka. I'm so glad it's now available outside of NYC.

      The version in NYC originated from a Hungarian-Jewish woman. Nothing to do with Poland. But yes there are different forms of the cake throughout Eastern Europe.

    I was able to get my hands on some here in California. I gave some to my elderly neighbor who never had it before, he threw up. I think because it's made with oil and not dairy, it was too rich for him. He thought I gave it to him because I didn't like it.....boy was he wrong. I really love this Babka but lately the chocolate is too rich for me as well.

    I'm eating a chocolate Green's Babka right now. The struesel is what makes it excellent because it provides the contrasting texture and it gives it a rich look. Also, there's so much chocolate inside that it gives a gooeyness. I've tried Trader Joe's Babka--not nearly as good.

    Hate to break it to you but it sounds like a load of tosh. "Babka" is a polish world for a dry cake. It's usually flavoured with cinnamon but most often with a poppy seed mass with raisins, chocolate wasn't a widely available ingredient back in the day. It's not impossible for it to have migrated to Hungary as both countries enjoyed a far reaching cultural exchange but compared to a real deal this looks like a poor, mass produced cousin.
