Founded by Alvin Lee Smalls, who perfected homemade rugelach over months, this shop has become renowned for its delicious traditional Jewish pastry, despite its non-traditional bakery setting. The bakery offers a variety of pastries, cakes, and cookies, all made with high-quality ingredients. Lee Lee's rugelach is a standout, praised for its flaky texture and fillings of nuts, chocolate, and jams.
