Review Quotes

"Don't be put off by the prime Madison Avenue address, this is an old-school kosher bakery, with plastic-wrapped baking trays providing the display, and service that's refreshingly opinionated and direct. William Greenberg's Black & White is one of the best in town, and their Sticky Bun is an equally first-rate showing in its category." --Gothamist

"After a chocolate bar, pecan brownies from William Greenberg Desserts are the next best cocoa-flavored treat." --Town & Country
