Kupel's Bakery

If one were to take a Lower East Side bakery and transport it to Brookline, the result would be something like Kupel's. Mouths will water at the cases of traditional favorites like giant hamentaschen (triangular cookies), about 6 varieties of rugalach (small rolled pastry), and just every way to put apples and dough together. Most pastries run $1.50, smaller ones $6.50/lb. Not surprisingly, Kupel's also has some of the best bagels ($0.75, $6/dozen) around, and their challah ($3.75), made fresh daily, is not to be missed.
