Gothamist calls Hot Bread Kitchen “One of the best places to buy fresh bread in NYC!”
“Hot Bread Kitchen has a pretty cool thing going on. The non-profit kitchen works as an incubator, offering (paid!) training to foreign-born and low-income workers who want to learn how to make careers out of baking. After a year, HBK helps trainees find professional baking jobs outside the incubator. The concept in of itself makes HBK’s breads worth buying, but the goods themselves are also A++, with plenty of ethnic offerings like challahs, Moroccan m’smen, bialys, tortillas, and Persian nan el barbari, as well as ryes and multigrain loaves. The best breads are sold at HBK’s Greenmarket stalls, but if you hit up their storefront at La Marqueta after 3 p.m. you can score pay-as-you-wish loaves from their production bakery before they get tossed out at closing time.”
