Angel Bakery is one of Israel’s leading bakeries and a go-to source for chocolate rugelach (croissants) and spinach, cheese or potato bourekas (flaky pastries) of all shapes and sizes. But if you want the real experience, head to one of their branches in Israel’s ultra-Orthodox communities, like this one in Shmuel Hanavi off Route 436.
Tasty bonus: Angel Bakery make a vegetarian hotdog in a croissant-like pastry – keeping it kosher (ie no mixing of milk and meat).
