K'Far Cafe

Rittenhouse, Philadelphia · Israeli · $

Israeli cafe culture runs on sesame bread, pastry and long breakfasts, and the Zahav team built this Rittenhouse bakery around pastry chef Camille Cogswell to bring that rhythm to Philadelphia. The long oval Jerusalem bagel comes loaded with a fried egg, cheese and herby schug, while the cases hold babka, rugelach and the pink pistachio sticky bun that built the bakery's reputation.
