Gal's Bakery is a patisserie and café at 131 HaNassi Avenue in the Carmel Center. Its site says it stands where the Kestler patisserie stood fifty years earlier, the place where the writers A. B. Yehoshua and Yehudit Katzir wrote their books, and that Gal leads a team of pastry cooks who bake every day. The counter holds cakes, quiches and sweet and savoury pastries to eat on the spot with coffee or hot chocolate, and the site singles out the salted sticks and the plum and nectarine pie. Some of its bakes are distributed to cafés, restaurants and caterers around the country. It opens at 05:00 from Sunday to Friday.
