Primarily a kosher takeout deli, but a real donut sleeper in this ZIP thanks to their sufganiyot and playful holiday donut specials.

Classic sufganiyot, Seasonal filled donut specials, Holiday-style donuts
What Makes it Special: Deli that quietly turns out standout sufganiyot and seasonal donuts.

Must-Try Dishes:
Classic scoop cones, Ice cream sundaes with toppings, Ice cream smoothies
What Makes it Special: Candy-store energy plus an on-site ice cream counter.
