Babushka Russian Deli and Bakery

I occasionally stop by this store. Great personnel and good variety of foods to choose from. I visited Babushka not too long ago, got their muraveynik cakes. They had 2 different options and I got both to try. Absolutely tasteless, no filling…

Straight fire. Food is delicious & desserts are pure heaven! Our attendant was super helpful, patient & informative! She juggled other customers extremely well in between our questions & inquiries (we've never been to a Russian bakery before). We were offered samples of most items we asked about & our experience was amazingly quick & we left with happy, full bellies (& almost $200 worth of food, drinks & baked goods)! Would definitely recommend & will definitely return again!

I’ve been to at least 20 different Russian delis along the West Coast and this one was probably the worst I’ve been to. For starters, there is an entire wall dedicated to expired goods; but these are not just things nearing expiration or recently expired — but things that have been expired for YEARS Even among the normal selection of allegedly unexpired goods, I found things like Milka chocolate which was expiring in just five days. Shouldn’t this be on the rack with the other stuff? There were no pastries or warm food baked, so I will not comment on that since I couldn’t try it. But perhaps the strangest experience here was when we inquired about some tea behind the counter and the clerk just aggressively threw them on the table, as if we were inconveniencing her by shopping, and then

Yesterday was the first time we stopped in and immediately commented on how good it smelled! I bake my own bread & the aroma in BaBushka was home!

Their baked stuff looked cute, but tasted bad and old. They also carried many products that carried Israeli flags and supporting messages.
