NOLA American Bakery

With a chic vintage bakery vibe, and classic checkerboard floors reminiscent of Glaser’s, Magnolia, and other famous New York institutions, Nola American Bakery truly lives up to its name. There is plenty of outdoor patio seating, and an adorable shaded garden in the back, but the interior décor is so charming, you won’t want to leave it. The recipes are inspired by owner Talya Rasner’s American roots and her mom’s cookbooks, and she specializes in catering to American expats nostalgic for their favorite childhood treats.

The adorable American bakery and café on Dizengoff Street is known for its nostalgic treats, including chewy chocolate chip cookies, homemade peppermint pattiess and their signature Mud Pie. On Purim, however, Nola makes Hamantaschen the star, whipping out American classics like peanut butter and jam, and their take on the s'more (an almond dough filled with Nutella and marshmallows). Plus, they are also loading their pastries with traditional fillings like poppy seed (NIS 6 each).

If you’re hankering for a taste of the United States, then head to NOLA Bakery on trendy Dizengoff Street. This bakery’s been a major hit with both locals and tourists since it opened back in 2012, the brainchild of Tayla Rasner, who drew on her New Orleans’ heritage and dreamed up a menu that soon convinced Israelis that American bakeries could be worth visiting!. Along with the staples (salmon and cream cheese bagels, fluffy American pancakes, sweet cupcakes and chewy Brownies), there are more unusual dishes like the ‘Blackstone Biscuit’ (a buttermilk biscuit served with poached eggs and Hollandaise), healthy granola with yogurt and fruit, enormous healthy salads (try the wheat berry with roasted pumpkin) and their famous Club Sandwich, served wight both turkey and bacon!

Tel Aviv breakfasts have been mentioned over and over again here on TelAvivTips (see reviews of some of our favorite breakfast places here and here, for instance), but we felt the need to share one more tip on a great place for a breakfast in Tel Aviv with you, since we've just discovered the NOLA (short for New Orleans, Louisiana, apparently) American Bakery on Dizengoff street. NOLA is both a coffee shop/restaurant and a bakery, so you can either choose to sit down here for a meal, of just buy some of their amazing baked goods to go. We've actually done both, because after having our first breakfast here, we were so impressed we wanted some more!.

Enjoy a cozy vibe with standout bagels and warm, delicious dishes, perfect for a relaxing café experience. I ate an excellent salmon salad that arrived warm and delicious with an avocado on the side and a sauce on the side unlike other places that many times prefer to save on utensils and push everything together at the expense of the food, thus lowering the quality of their service and the level of the food in order to save. In addition, for dessert I was happy to find out that they made an effort and there was a gluten-free option for me!

The brainchild of New Orleans native Talya Rasner, who has recruited a pastry chef whose pedigree includes stints at top Israeli restaurants Herbert Samuel and Catit, NOLA American Bakery serves breakfasts and brunch items at all times it is open. On weekends, this translates to Fridays from 07.30-16.00 and Saturdays from 09.00-21.00. Reservations are not accepted; but if there is a wait, you can leave your name and receive a text message when your turn comes.

NOLA American Bakery offers a taste of ‘old style’ America - whether it’s decor, music or food. Their breakfasts will make any expat feel instantly cheerful - from the ‘Blackstone Biscuit’ (served with poached eggs and hollandaise), the pancakes (try ‘Blueberry Bliss’), sweet muffins, healthy options such as granola and their famous BLT. With its warm, inviting interior and cosy vibe, no wonder it’s as popular as the day it opened, back in 2012.

If you’re having a craving for New Orleans, then go to Nola. Nola isn’t just a bakery, it’s also a very popular breakfast place, which serves delicious portions of America’s best. However, the real winner at this cafe isn’t their hashbrowns or morsels of American goodness, it’s their baked goods which they bake freshly on site.

Nola is a charming bakery and café known for its nostalgic, American-style goods. NOLA stands for New Orleans, Louisiana, and the atmosphere and food definitely live up to the Southern name. The beautiful pastry display catches your eye the moment you walk in, with a daily variety of freshly baked cookies, pies and cakes.

I’ve never been to New Orleans but my Israeli friends always say Nola has that vibe. They serve fresh bread daily and have a generous portion of American breakfasts. I came here often for coffee in the afternoon as they also have great spaces for digital nomads/online workers.

Yep, just like it sounds, an amazing rich selection of fresh pastries and all things AMERICAN!. we could not help but gulp down a great coffee with peanut butter cookies to start our meal and than continued to the "House special" with hash browns and mushrooms - yummy!

Nola is known for its fresh daily-made bread and also for its American-style breakfasts. It’s a great place for having a quick cup of coffee as well. The place is a hotspot for young people just hanging around during work breaks or after work hours.
