Capital Jewish Food Festival Pre-order Offerings

Please use this page to order challah for pickup/delivery/shipping on Thursdays.  We strongly recommend that you order in advance to increase the chances that you'll get one, and we thank you for your understanding if we are sold out. 

If you would like your challah on Fridays, please click here to learn about our Challah Subscriptions.

We bake challah fresh on Thursdays and Fridays.  We sometimes have a few challahs available for purchase on Friday without a subscription.  If we do, they will be made available for purchase on this page.  If you order challah for pickup on Saturday or Sunday, it will have been baked on Thursday and frozen the same day it was baked.

Why Our Challah

Made from scratch, our kosher challah is the perfect addition to your Shabbat dinner or any special occasion.  In the event you don't gobble it all down on the first day, turn it into Challah French Toast later!

We've done an embarrassing amount of taste-testing to make sure our challah is as good as it can possibly be.  We hope you love it as much as we do.

Choose from regular or jumbo sizes, in either plain, raisin, or vegan plain.  Regular size is a little less than a foot long.  Jumbo size is about 15 inches long and twice the overall size of a Regular challah.

Allergen Info

Our plain and raisin challah contains egg and honey, but does not contain dairy. Our vegan challah does not contain dairy, egg or honey. While none of our challah contains dairy and we use good cleaning practices between products, our challah is made on shared equipment with other products that may contain dairy. Please see more information about our ingredients and kosher certification.

Our take on the classic black-and-white cookie: a soft, cake-like shortbread cookie iced with vanilla on one half and chocolate on the other. The soft cookie complemented with the smooth vanilla and chocolate icings create a sweet melt-in-your-mouth experience that you'll want to repeat once you've devoured both halves.

Custom writing also available for advance orders. Pricing varies.

You won't find rugelach like ours anywhere else in the DC area! We use an Israeli family recipe that makes our rugelach softer than most. It has the perfect level of sweetness and does not contain nuts!

FAQ

Do your bagels contain dairy, egg, or honey?
No.  Our bagels are vegan.

Are your bagels gluten-free?
No.  Our bagels use hi-gluten flour.  We have tried to make a gluten-free bagel and have failed miserably each time.  The gluten is what gives bagels their chewy bagel-like consistency.

Why are all of your bagels a different shape?
We hand-roll our bagels.  This is what gives them their authentic, artisan look and taste.  If you're comparing our bagels to other places whose bagels all look exactly the same, their bagels were probably made by a machine (not hand-rolled).  In our opinion, a bagel that isn't hand-rolled isn't a real bagel.

What's on your Everything bagel?
Sesame, poppy, onion, garlic, salt

Do you make Cinnamon Raisin, Blueberry, Whole Wheat, or Pumpernickel bagels?
No.

Do I have to eat all the bagels the same day I get them?
No.  You can freeze them the same day you get them and enjoy them later.

What's the best way to reheat your bagels?
- Freeze the bagels you don’t eat today in a freezer bag (do not slice).
- Pre-heat oven (or set toaster oven) to 340°(F).
- Bake unsliced, frozen bagel for 12-14 minutes.
- Let bagel cool for a bit before slicing.
- Enjoy!
