Oneg Bakery.

Oneg Bakery has been a cherished Jewish bakery in Brooklyn since the 1980s. Founded by two sisters (survivors of the Holocaust), the bakery is an immense comfort to the Jewish community in Williamsburg.

It didn’t take long for the bakery’s fame to extend beyond Brooklyn, the irresistible double chocolate babka began attracting New Yorkers from all five boroughs.

Considered the best babka in New York City, the dense concoction is richly studded with enough chocolate to satisfy the most ardent sweet tooth. This treat alone is worth a detour.

Hemishe Oneg Bakery has been a local Jewish favorite in the South Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn since the 1980s. Founded by two sisters who escaped the Holocaust, their signature dishes were comforting to the large Jewish community who call that area home. 

Using Grandma’s cherished recipes, the grandchildren are currently running the business, which is still family-owned. The bakery’s reputation has started to spread beyond the neighborhood, luring New Yorkers from all five boroughs to experience one of the best bakeries in Williamsburg.

Best known for their double chocolate babka (which is often regarded as the best in the city) I’d be doing you a disservice if I didn’t recommend it. It’s heavy and dense and comes with enough chocolate to satisfy any sweet tooth. It’s even pretty to look at!
