So where is this Brooklyn bakery you speak of?
Posted by: Molly - 01/06/2008

The Brooklyn bakery is located in Geoula,Jerusalem. If you were at King George and Jafo you would walk straight up Straus St. (King George turns into Straus). A five minute walk takes you to Kikar Shabbat- a huge intersection in Mea Shearim- make a left. The street is filled with people and popcorn plus you can find a lot of great deals, so don’t just go for the donuts…anyway, after about 5 minutes you should see the Brookyln bakery on your left hand side. On Thursday and Friday it is hard to miss since there is normally a line out the door. Enjoy!! They have real donuts, muffins and my favorite- black and white cookies!!

Black and white cookies? I should have guessed that this bakery would be in Haredi-land. Thanks!
