Worth the wait. I will definitely order one again too. Since I love dense chocolate flavor and things which aren't syrupy or overly sweet, it was right up my alley and taste like something we'd have enjoyed growing up.We didn't even open it immediately upon arrival -- I don't know why, yet when we did it was still fresh and moist.

I pick the meal theme for our family's Christmas dinner every year, and after doing so many different countries, I opted for a theme that I knew would please my husband greatly--A Very Seinfeld Christmas was to be had!After scouring the internet for Seinfeld-related foods (trust me, there's a lot), I developed the perfect menu. Most of the food items could be sourced locally, but alas, we have no bakery in the area that could produce my dessert choice, the Chocolate Babka. Verily, I could have purchased a cinnamon babka, but why serve a lesser babka to my family at such an auspicious dinner? To Amazon I turned. I looked at the ratings, I read the reviews; I selected the Sterns Bakery Chocolate Babka. Still, I was not fully confident that this Babka would hold up--a Babka made how many days ago and purchased online? How was I to know how fresh it might taste? What if it's dry and stale? Still, I purchased it.Christmas Day, the feast was amazing; I was glowing. But would dessert ruin the perfect memories of the day? NOT THIS BABKA! It was moist, fresh and though it looked like more chocolate than I could handle, I found the chocolate amount PERFECT. Just chocolatey enough with no need to reach for a gallon of milk. As this was the family's first foray into this Jewish delicacy, I was well pleased. The Sterns Bakery Chocolate Babka was everything I had hoped for.

Very good. I cut mine into slices and freeze. It was a little dry , but the chocolate is dark and creamy. Pretty good. Carnegie Deli was better, but they don't make anymore

Both the cinnamon and chocolate bobkas were wonderful. They arrived well-wrapped to keep in the freshness, and both had wonderful flavors. I would definitely order again

This is a mass produced item with no taste or flavor. If you are from the east coast, you know what a chocolate babka should taste like. If you are from the east coast, you MUST have seen the Seinfeld Episode, The Dinner Party, where the 4 friends are off to a dinner party, but Elaine insists they stop at a bakery and bring something. She wants to bring a chocolate babka, but the last one is sold to the lady standing in front of her in the line. The person behind the counter offers her a cinnamon babka instead, but Elaine laments, "I can't bring cinnamon babka, it's lesser babka!" And it is true. And this is not a freshly made east coast babka. It will not do in a pinch or a hurry, so just plan ahead so you can get a real chocolate babka from the east coast.

Really dry - only improved slightly when served with ice cream. Taste was satisfactory - overall opinion too DRY.

If you like cinnamon, buy this. Fresh and delicious !

Very tasty but crumbly. Packaging was secure but babka was loose enough to be crumbled during shipping. Disappointing.
