Zak the Baker

An independent, artisan bakery from which many local restaurants source their breads, Zak the Baker is a Kosher carb lovers’ dream come true, with a full-service café and onsite bakery. Of the breads—oh, those breads—the Jewish rye sourdough, is a crunchy, crusty mashup of two two faves and the pan au chocolat seems to have wandered in from the Left Bank. The vegan banana bread is, as the hipsters say, badass. Those looking for meals have many classic choices, from fab Florida avocado toast to a sourdough grilled cheese with tomato bisque. The bagels are impressive, too, and even the NY naysayers say they’re a close second to those in the city. Try a side of the salmon bacon: it is totally Kosher and delicious.
