We were completely disappointed this time around. The 3 chalahs were totally stale. The rugalech was over baked as was the chocolate babkas. There was hardly any chocolate in the cake anyway. The black and white cookies were also stale and crumbly. Not sure what happened there, but for $200 we expected so much for my money. Sorry, but the party is over for us.

I would not order their bagels again. They are less than a step above grocery store bagels. What happened to the real boil and bake bagel? The crunchy exterior and meaty interior with some holes? Maybe this is a problem of online ordering. I bought a holiday package for my family, and I have made better bagels. The rugalach was okay.

I received my order on time, however, the garlic knishes had so much garlic that no one could eat them. Gefilte fish was slimy and smelled awful - I had to throw it away. Stuffed cabbage - meat was good but cabbage was inedible. Could not cut it with a sharp knife nor chew it. So disappointed and will not be ordering again!

Mostly bland food (with some exceptions - the applesauce is deluxe) at exorbitant prices (no exceptions). Maybe it’s an in-person experience thing but we only experience the food end via delivery. Someone in our family gets it once a year and manages each time to mention how much they paid for the food and shipping. We always say “you shouldn’t have” like ‘please don’t, not again’ and somehow that just encourages him. We now just eat an enormous lunch before we go over.

I ordered four items from Zabar's on line. One was supposed to Sherry vinegar. It was red wine vinegar. I had to call three times to get someone. They asked if I wanted a refund or a replacement. I chose a replacement because I live in a place where I cannot but a good sherry vinegar. When it did not come, I called to discover that they issued a refund instead. Now, if I want the vinegar, I have to pay shipping again. They would not allow me free shipping ven though it was their mistake.

Son came specifically to give me Lox from Zabars for Break the Fast!! Big dissapointment!!! It was dry on edges and very poorly sliced!!! Better lox at Fairway!!!

I have received zabars as Christmas gifts over the years. This is the first time I received questionable packing. I received a box of chocolates. All were individually wrapped and the box was in closed celophane The other box was not in any cellophane had splits in two of the four sections of cookies. I have pics showing crumbs all over. Why cellophane a box of Individually wrapped items and not celophane a box of cookies that show the split in 2 sections. Not sure they are safe to eat. I can send pics but don't see where I can download here. Want to hear from Zabar customer service. For the price my friend paid this is not acceptable.

Impressed with Zabar's catalog, I placed my first (and to be ONLY) online order for baked goods. All of the items tasted dry & stale, especially the babkas. I won't pretend to be an expert on ethnic specialties; my quality standard was, however, was established last year when I ordered the same items from another New York source. To my disappointment in Zabar's products, add the insult of an insane shipping fee! (The other source shipped immediately AND gratis for a nominal minimum purchase.) I don't like feeling taken, and I now know that I don't prefer Zabar's baked items over those from another source.
