Kosher cafés and pâtisseries
Most kosher cafés are dairy or pareve, built around coffee, cakes, and light meals. The details that matter are whether the milk is cholov yisroel and whether the baked goods are pas yisroel, both of which we mark on each listing.
A café is an easy place to keep kosher on the go, but standards vary, so it is always worth confirming the current teudah on site before you order.
