Click here for a full list of our Holiday Pick up locations, dates and times.

Culinary products require refrigeration and can be picked up at these approved locations.

I can’t seem to check out, it won’t let me pick a date or the location I want.

This typically means you have something in your cart that we are not selling the week of Rosh Hashanah. Please be sure that only Rosh Hashanah menu items are in your cart and it should allow you to select the correct date and location.

Culinary items require refrigeration and select locations can accomodate those requirements. Culinary items can be picked up at these locations, including Sunflower Bakery, as well as delivered to your home. Please ensure someone is home to accept the delivery so it may be refrigerated directly.

How long will you be selling Round Challah?

Round Challah will be available Tuesday through Friday. We will be selling Round Challah exclusively from September 18th until October 13th. Traditional, Braided Challah will be available before and after these dates on Thursdays and Fridays. 

I’m getting my order before we are eating it, how do I store it?

We supply a comprehensive list of storage instructions for all our desserts and breads. For culinary items, please consult the reheating instructions.
