Now there will everyone will be eating Chlovev Yisroel! Yeah!

Hashgacha
April 12, 2016 12:48 am

Whatever Hashgacha they take will be the best because I’ve worked with KMR and Udi and these guys take kashrut very seriously, very profesional, and are very careful, clean, and machmere. Stand up guys.

Chk?

Wishing you much Hatzlacha Udi
Your fans in Hillside.

Healthy?
April 9, 2016 11:06 pm

Seriously? So don’t eat there! Going out to eat doesn’t mean every meal, it’s moderation. I feel sorry for you that you deprive yourself of treats sometimes. Look at the French they eat whole fat dairy and drink wine, and cheeses and eat pastries and aren’t fat. Everything in moderation. You want healthy food eat at home, some people want to enjoy and have an ice cream once in a while, at least with this cafe it’ll be worth it bc it’ll be the best ice cream.

We need some high quality food without sugar. A place like that would not only be very successful but will be doing a huge favor for the health of the community. Food does not have to have sugar for it to be top quality and tasty. Sugar is poisoning the population and is the cause of many health problems

Sugar

Hey, all that’s missing in Crown Heights is a little more SUGAR!!!
Hope there will be some gourme foods made naturally without natural sugar!!!!

What wonderful people I have been going to Banff and Vail with my family for many years what a spectacular experience being with KMR they are fantastic and with the service they give and their Dikduk in Kashrus they will be Matzliach Chutz L’Derech Hateive Brochos ad Bli Dai from CS and Family

such good news re the corn bread
April 8, 2016 12:30 pm

Yes the ice cream sounds excellent, delicious, superior – and as healthy as you can get…but what caught my eye as a wheat-free person was the corn bread! thanks so much. It’s frustrating in so many kosher places to find no substitute for the wheat bread. So wonderful that there will be corn bread available. I can’t wait for my next visit to Crown Heights. Hatzlocha Rabo Werners!

Perfect

Best kosher desserts
April 8, 2016 11:02 am

He makes the best kosher gelato and desserts out there. Tried all the big dairy and Parve places and he’s on a whole other level. Also makes the best Cholov Yisroel croissants and scones, I used to get them all the time when he was at Basil, I really missed them. He was the one who first made basil ice cream!

Hatzlocha!

About time!
April 8, 2016 3:32 am

How very exciting is it to hear about a classy venue for a breakfast or for a good cappuccino opening in CH; definitely something we’ve been missing for a while.

Looking forward to patronizing you!

Save a spot for me please
April 8, 2016 1:25 am

Best cheesecake and ice cream
April 8, 2016 1:02 am

I’ve had his cheesecakes before and they are amazing, I’m still dreaming about the dulce de leche one! He definitely makes the best ice creams out there. For a place at the Werner and this chefs level in CH, this is big. Can’t wait.

Please CHK!!!
April 8, 2016 12:55 am

Please be under CHK and serve high-end coffee!!!

Before Shavuos? On time ....

Bringing heaven down to earth in Jerusalem
April 8, 2016 12:52 am

we have an upscale ice cream parlour in Machane Yehuda Shuk in Jerusalem–Rose Petal Ice Cream, Saffron, Pomegranate and Cocoa/Mandarin ice and more. done very well and not over the top. after you eat it, one doesn’t feel sick, but nicely satiated. And at another store all kinds of halvah, you wouldn’t believe. it’s a win-win situation. you are home, supporting Israel. Further by being here and eating these delights it’s like bringing heaven down to earth

LA !!!
April 8, 2016 12:45 am

LA has great milchig restaurants already.

This guy is the best pastry chef
April 7, 2016 11:43 pm

I’ve been to many KMR programs and the Werners pay attention to every detail. Udi Ezra makes the best gelato in the kosher world and I’m sure it’s comparable to a NYC gelato place. He makes amazing pastries and desserts. Very excited to try the place. The Werners and Udi are some of the nicest people there are so I wish them all the hatzlacha.

Woe
April 7, 2016 11:41 pm

After this opens up..Someone will have to open x large plus plus store.after eating these amazing desserts who is going to fit in regular clothing..

April 7, 2016 11:12 pm

I’m so excited for this cafe!! I can’t wait to try all the ice cream flavors! I can’t wait:)

LA is genug!!!
April 7, 2016 11:03 pm

I don’t miss Crown Heights.

I broke my phone
April 7, 2016 10:57 pm

I’m a shliach in a small town in USA I am so hungry, but there are no restaurantS around. So I took a bite at the burger place below the Chinese place, and now I just helped myself to some dessert at the new place on top…Please would any of these places deliver?
Thank You…

LA is desperate
April 7, 2016 10:47 pm

Please bring some of this amazingness to LA! Sorely lacking and something like Basil or Zak or would be so successful! Crown Heights has enough.

Sounds incredible
April 7, 2016 10:26 pm

Can’t wait for some real authentic ice cream 😀

Los Angeles

The Los Angeles kosher community can use a really good dairy restaurant as there’s a shortage of dairy eateries. Any investors interested?
