"Rudy’s makes a mean bienenstich. The place was, after all, founded as a German bakery in the 1930s—although it’s been in the hands of an Italian American family for quite a few decades now, and offerings include biscotti and alfajores. Whenever you pop in, you’re guaranteed to see a crowd of locals chatting with the folks behind the counter, picking up boxes of cookies and slices of black forest cake." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
