Sadly, Gertel’s retail shop is now closed as of June 22, 2007. They continue their wholesale business in Brooklyn.

oh man was this stuff good… when it comes to these kinds of baked items, you don’t want people skimping on the butter, and Gertel’s most definitely doesn’t. the rugelach are absolutely delish(so moist and flaky, and as my sister’s fiancée observed, with the right ratio of dough-to-filling), and whatever pastry Alli K and i shared on location was amazing(i don’t know what it was called, but it was chocolate wrapped up in a perfectly flaky pastry dough, with powdered sugar and drizzled chocolate on top.) well worth the calories.

I grew up on treats from Gertel’s as my dad works a tiny LES block away and has been friends with the proprietors and workers for years – reportedly they used to call him(and my grandfather before him!) in from the street when something good had just come out of the oven. The rugellach from Gertel’s are the real deal and oh-so-delicious, as are the hammentaschen and mandel bread(all of which my dad used to ship out to Mass for me when I was in college). Their challah is sublime – I’d be perfectly happy eating an entire loaf all by itself. Everything that Gertel’s bakes up is highly habit-forming, so beware… and say hello to my dad when you’re there.

They have really good jelly donuts. I’m not a fan of all jelly donuts but theirs are good.

Hammantachen not as good as Moishe’s. Kind of anemic and tasteless. I’ve had good and bad service here over the years. Flavorfull Chinese cookies make up for it! Mmmmmmmm…

Kosher breads and pastry, near a few other food stores. Convenient if you’re in the nabe.
