    Restaurant info

    potchke is a sunny all-day café inspired by the jewish “dairy” restaurant, offering babka, bialys, blintzes, and a vegetable-focused, rotating menu. potchke means "to fuss around in the kitchen, to dwaddle, to waste time," and that’s precisely what we’re here to do. think of potchke as lesser babka's older brother with a bingo addiction and a taste for egg creams, currently schmoozing with bubbe on del boca vista’s racquetball court.
