The Story Behind the Challah

A closer look at the bread, tradition, and care behind Got Kosher's challah, from the first braid to your Friday table.

Reserve Your Loaf
  1. Hands braiding strands of challah dough on a floured bench

  2. Coarse salt scattered over freshly dipped challah

    Dipped and salted

    The pretzel dip gives the crust its deep color, then coarse salt goes on.

  3. Baked pretzel challahs coming out of the oven on a wooden peel

Good to Know

Frequently Asked

Do I need to order ahead?
No, walk-ins are always welcome. But Friday sells out fast, placing an order by Thursday guarantees your favorites are waiting for you at the counter.
How do I pay?
Online pickup reservations are available and are paid for in-store. Online payment, delivery, and shipping are not open yet; call the bakery to ask about arrangements.
Is the bakery a sit-down spot?
We have some seating and coffee available, so you're welcome to grab a bench and enjoy something warm. Most of our bread goes out as pickup or reservation, so ordering ahead is still the best way to guarantee your loaf.
Are the pretzel challahs really vegan?
Yes. All six pretzel challah flavors are vegan. Most of our other breads are also dairy-free. We're a Pas Yisroel bakery under RCC Glatt Kosher supervision.
Do you offer gluten-free?
Yes. We bake an 11 oz Gluten-Free Challah in Chocolate, Kalamata Olive, and Original. Call ahead to confirm availability for your pickup day.
Can I order for a large event or catering?
Absolutely. We bake ceremonial challahs for weddings, kiddushim, and events. Call (310) 858-1920 or email alain@gotkosherinc.com and we'll build a custom quote.
