New York Dearest

A bakery · Lower East Side · on three of my lists

Michaeli Bakery.

Worth it, says Antonina. The sufganiyah (Israeli donuts) have a cult-like following; the dough is light and airy, and the fillings often rotate for fun new creations.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Vegan and gluten-free options are also available, like a popular vegan babka. While all of those options are great, some of the best desserts in Chinatown are the donuts churned out of this bakery. Known as sufganiyah, the Israeli donuts have a cult-like following for a reason.

Flavors chance often enough to keep things exciting. If they’re not sold out, I highly recommend ordering the strawberry-filled sufganiyah, the tartness of the jam is lovely with the lightness of the dough.

    The sufganiyah (Israeli donuts) have a cult-like following; the dough is light and airy, and the fillings often rotate for fun new creations. The one thing to note is that Michaeli Bakery has limited seating, but luckily, Seward Park is less than a two-minute walk and offers plenty of benches to enjoy your treat.
