Agree 100% with you guys - loved those Chanukah donuts so much. And the fact that you could only get them one week in the year made them all the more special. Bracha (I mistakenly wrote Chana above, but yes, it's Bracha) always threw in an extra thing for me to try as well. And if you ever asked her how something was, she always said it was the best. Their soups and chopped liver were good as well. It was just a wonderful "old school" place that evoked a lot of childhood memories for me and I now love to bring my children there for that same special bakery experience.
As I was reading online about the fire, I found this video about the donuts - in all the times I was there, I never knew the other owner was Bracha's husband, who was the baker. I never saw him. It was always just the group of older, funny (sometimes bickering) ladies upstairs.
