More then roladin donutes in Isreal Was excited to see the article topic, Living in Israel, and having recommendations of donuts that would be fun to taste. Was disappointed with just seeing Roladin. There are enough people who live in Israel and write/follow you could have recommended many more options.

You should know that some of the branches of Roladin have a Rubin hechsher. Today, you can find good doughnut with yummy fillings and toppings all over. (Roladin is very expensive, starting at 10 shekel and up). Angel has some really yummy doughnuts, with assorted toppings and fillings, starting at 5 shekel and up. Those of you in Baltimore, Rosendorf’s bakery has not only great doughnuts, but their muffins are out of this world!! In general their bakery puts out top notch products.!!!! Have a great Chanukah.
