This Popular San Fernando Valley Sephardic Pastry Shop Is on a Bold Expansion Run | Eater LA

"Started as a Sherman Oaks takeout window in 2022, this location opened in early April as the third outlet after a Van Nuys outpost was added in May 2024. People file in for borekas — a flaky, savory, Sephardic pastry with roots in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Turkey — and the Woodland Hills location also offers outdoor seating plus a retail shelf for diners to take home items like clarified butter, seasonings, and wildflower honey. Owners Gal and chef Uzi Waizman expanded the drinks menu beyond Turkish coffee to include lattes, espressos, and more; Chef Uzi tells Eater that they will add special borekas, including a current variety with carrots from his home garden. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m." - Mona Holmes
