Pastry Land is a comfortable and friendly little bakery and café. Simple tables line one side of the room. Bright and cheerful paintings of scenes from Israel adorn the walls. Large brass enamel teapots and vases from Morocco, Marcus’s country of origin, sit high atop the shelves behind the counter.
