The question of the week seems to be, “What do you have for Passover?” Yeah. Um… Our bad, once again — We’re closed the entire week of Passover, and half the next week, as well. (We opened a can of worms when we brought oats into this place - we were essentially kosher for Passover until that moment. Not that the rabbis would allow any of our recipes — everything contains rice, which Jews of European descent don’t eat on Passover. But we wouldn’t have had to clean.) (sigh.)
Anyway, the point is, I thought it wouldn’t matter so much if we’re open Passover, since it’s the one time a year you can find a trustworthy gf-cake at a NORMAL bakery! Don’t believe me? Try this: Delice Bakery.
[Please note they're closed the whole week of Passover, too. That's what the "Chol Hamoed" bit means. The cakes are sold the week before Passover, starting April 13th.]
Kosher bakeries seem a tad slow getting on the internet (what’s up with that?), but I called:
Eilat bakery (310-205-8700) will be kosher-for-Passover. They’re closed the week of, selling GF products the week before, by reservation only. The Fairfax store (323-933-5000) may be open mid-week.
Schwartz Bakery (310-854-0592) Fairfax store (323-653-1683) will have kosher-for-Passover products packaged & sealed (be careful because they’re also selling chametz right up to the last day!); including bagels made from potato starch!
So, just to re-cap:
We are OPEN Thursday April 17th,
until 6:00 or until we run out of food, whichever comes first.
We are CLOSED Friday April 18th THROUGH Tuesday April 29th, 2008.
We Re-OPEN Wednesday April 30th.
