Said Abu Elafia & Sons

Tel Aviv


The seafront branch of the famous family-run Arabic bakery from Jaffa consists of a long glass counter with pastries such as huge sambusas filled with feta, mushrooms, spinach or pizza sauce. Don't expect anything fancy, but it's ideal for a super-quick but satisfying snack for the beach or on the go.
