What locals are saying . . .

This self proclaimed “old-school Jewish bakery” was recently highlighted in Leslie Jones’ SNL skit about the neighborhood, and for good reason. It’s worth the wait in line to enjoy the freshest black and white cookies and filled-to-order jelly doughnuts, your choice of jam! They also have seasonal treats available to pre-order for holidays, such as the pecan pie, which is our family favorite for Thanksgiving dessert.
