Description
The kitchen prepares them stuffed and baked fresh daily, focusing on a traditional baked style. The options range from classic potato—including a roasted garlic potato knish packed with smooth potatoes—to unique seasonal flavors. Alongside the main counter offerings like kugel, the space maintains a clean, old-fashioned atmosphere, and they can ship orders out of state.
