Rosh Pina

Nimrod’s lookout, cobblestone HaNadiv Street, Koji, a commercial-strip grocery and Landwer café, the Moshytz bakery detour, and Hwy 90 burgers at Mahanayim. Nearby playgrounds wait on named pins.

Koji

Delicious kosher Japanese in Rosh Pina — sushi, ramen, and on-site ferments — with pizza next door. Where we met Amber.

Maker / shoppingRosh PinaBrett visitedCheck before driving — hours not verified

Rosh Pina organic grocery

Organic grocery pin on the Ma'ale Gei Oni commercial strip — restock, not a landmark.

CoffeeRosh PinaBrett visitedCheck before driving — hours not verified

Landwer café (Rosh Pina)

Reliable Landwer stop on the commercial strip — café and juice beside the organic grocery, not a second Koji pin.

Nimrod’s lookout and HaNadiv Street

The cobblestone HaNadiv Street where many of Israel’s founders lived, with Nimrod’s lookout at the top of old Rosh Pina.

BakeryMachanayimBrett visitedLikely open

Moshytz

One of Brett’s two personal favorite cafés in the north (with Cafe Sam Sam). Better coffee and baked goods of the pair — go first; do not assume afternoon.

Route 90 Hamburgers and Beer

A Hwy 90 burger-and-beer joint at Mahanayim that feels like east Nashville circa 2015 — the sit-down next to the Moshytz bakery pin.
