A Williamsburg tradition since 1959
Sander's Bakery has been baking on Lee Avenue in South Williamsburg since 1959 — a family kosher bakeshop that has quietly become a neighborhood institution. The pastry dough is still made in-house by hand, rolled the old-fashioned way, and the cases are filled fresh each day.
Come in for a warm braided challah before Shabbos, a slab of chocolate babka, a tray of rugelach and kippelech, flaky danish, or one of the layer cakes Sander's is known for. It's the kind of old-world bakery that's getting harder to find in Brooklyn — and regulars have been loyal for decades.
What people come for
Also in the cases: kippelech, pastry danish, bagels, cookies, seven-layer cakes, and a selection of sugar-free and spelt baked goods. Fresh selection changes daily — call ahead for large or holiday orders.
