Yonah Schimmel's Knish Bakery has been in the same location since 1910, so next year it will celebrate its 100th birthday. This tiny, but bustling bakery specializes in knishes, which are pillows of dough filled with potato, cheese, fruit, vegetables or any combination of things. People come from miles around to order knishes from Yonah Schimmel's. They are a landmark institution on the Lower East Side and their food is wonderful. Many people marvel that they've survived this long, but they have a deep compassion for their customers and are trying hard to keep the traditions alive. Their little coffee shop could use an extreme makeover, but I think the understated decor is part of its charm. Besides, you go there for the knishes, not anything else.

For a quick breakfast on the go in Sydney, my family always loves to visit the Bourke Street Bakery. They have some of the best pastries and sweets that I have ever had. Sometimes we even stop by for lunch to enjoy their yummy Lamb & Harissa rolls which are a real bargain.

La Place restaurants can be found throughout Holland. When you walk into the restaurant (its really more a coffee shop) the smell of fresh baked bread fills your head. The bread comes in a large variety. They offer an array of sandwiches that are fresh and very yummy on assorted breads. If you did not get enough bread with your meal, you can buy bread to take home with you. Do you get the idea that the bread is good?

This is a traditional café where you can sit outdoors and watch the world pass by while you eat delicious homemade cakes and candy! It was a wonderful place to catch your breath after a busy morning shopping. You can tell it is a family owned establishment, even though for a café it seemed quite large. There is a huge variety of baked items to choose from, as well as a menu for lunch items.

A cute little dessert cafe with a pastry shop next to it owned by the same people. The cafe is adorable and sells amazing cappuccinos to drink with your desserts. And the desserts are to die for - just the decor and artistry put into their cakes blew me away. I didn't make any large cake purchases but all their pastries and small desserts are delicious.
