Two flavors, made with love here in Ramat Beit Shemesh. A deep dark chocolate swirl and a warm cinnamon-sugar spiral.
Order by Thursday 9am. Pay by Bit. Collect it warm on Friday.
The whole menu. It's a short one.
We make two babkas and we make them well. Each loaf is roughly 700g — enough for six generous slices, or two people with no self-control.
A proper chocolate babka. Rich dark cocoa filling laminated through soft enriched dough, twisted into that classic swirl, then finished with a light sugar syrup for the shine. Deep and fudgy rather than sweet and flat.
Warm cinnamon, brown sugar and a whisper of vanilla, rolled tight so every slice pulls apart in ribbons. This is the one that makes the whole house smell like erev Shabbat. Excellent toasted the next day.
It's the question we get most, and the honest answer is: we're working on it. Gluten-free enriched dough is genuinely hard, and most attempts are sad and dense. We're not launching until it's actually good.
The bit that actually matters
Here's the thing most people don't think about until they're sitting in front of a bland chocolate cake after the seudah. The ultimate Jewish dessert, babka, normally isn't part of your meal plan because it's made with butter. Ours isn't.
On kashrut: certification is in progress. Until it's in hand we'll describe our ingredients, not our status — no dairy, no eggs, no animal products, full stop. When the certificate arrives it'll be on this page for you to read yourself.
This is a home kitchen in Beit Shemesh, not a supermarket. The process is deliberately human. You tell us what you want, we confirm it's doable, you pay by Bit, and you get delicious babka on Friday.
We bake Thursday night and Friday morning, and everything goes out that same Friday. That's the whole operation: one bake, one delivery day, nothing sitting around getting stale.
Orders close Thursday at 9:00am for that same week. Miss it and you're on next week's bake, which is genuinely fine — we'll just confirm the later date with you.
Pick your flavors and quantities, choose which Friday you want, and hit send. It opens WhatsApp with your whole order already written out — you just press send.
You'll hear back the same day confirming your loaf is on that week's bake.
We send a Bit payment link straight back on WhatsApp. Payment up front is what lets a one-person kitchen buy ingredients and plan the bake properly. Your slot is locked once it clears.
Collecting? We'll message you the pickup window and exactly where. Delivering? We'll confirm your Friday time window. Either way your Shabbat meal is about to get a whole lot yummier.
Fill this in and we'll open WhatsApp with your order written out for you. Nothing is charged here — payment happens by Bit after we confirm your order.
Your order is empty — add a babka above to get started.
Who's baking
This started the way most of these things start: wanting a really good babka, discovering the vegan versions were mostly dry and apologetic, and deciding to fix it. Dozens of test bakes later, the dough is soft and properly enriched, the swirl holds, and nobody has ever guessed it's vegan unless we told them.
Everything is made in small batches in a home kitchen in Beit Shemesh. That's the constraint and it's also the point — every loaf gets handled by one person who cares whether it's good, and the number we can bake in a Friday is genuinely limited.
Right now we deliver across Beit Shemesh and Ramat Beit Shemesh. Jerusalem and Modiin aren't on the route yet — if you're there, tell us anyway. Enough messages from one place and it starts to look like a plan.
The short version:
Completely. No dairy, no eggs, no honey, no butter. The kitchen is a home kitchen, so we can't promise a total absence of cross-contact with other foods in the house, but nothing animal-derived goes anywhere near the babka itself.
There is no dairy in our babka at all — no butter, no milk, no cream, no eggs. Kosher certification is in progress and we'll say more once it's in hand, but as far as the ingredients go, there is nothing dairy in it. When the certificate arrives we'll publish it on this page so you can read it yourself rather than take our word for it.
Pickup is free. Delivery within Beit Shemesh and Ramat Beit Shemesh is ₪15. If you're collecting, we'll message you the pickup window and location; if you're getting it delivered, we'll confirm your Friday delivery window. Either way you'll know exactly when — you won't be sitting around waiting.
Thursday at 9:00am for that same week. We bake Thursday night and Friday morning, and everything goes out on Friday. Order after Thursday 9am and you'll go onto the following week's bake — the order form only shows you Fridays you can still get.
By Bit. Once we've confirmed your order and your Friday on WhatsApp, we send you a Bit payment link in the same conversation. Payment up front is how a one-person kitchen plans ingredients and bake slots — your slot is confirmed as soon as it clears.
Not yet — we're working on it, and it's the single most requested thing. Gluten-free enriched dough is genuinely difficult and we're not launching until it's actually good. Register your interest above and we'll message you the moment it's ready.
Not yet. Right now it's Beit Shemesh and Ramat Beit Shemesh only — one person, one car, one Friday. Message us anyway if you're further out; if enough people ask from the same place, it becomes worth doing.
It's at its peak the day it's baked. Wrapped well at room temperature it's excellent for two to three days, and it toasts beautifully after that. It also freezes properly — wrap it tight, then warm it in a low oven.
Two flavors, one very good loaf, thirty seconds of your time. Order by Thursday 9am and it's on this Friday's bake.
