Rosh Pina Food and View Day

Bakery first, Hwy 90 burgers at Mahanayim if that is lunch, Nimrod’s lookout and HaNadiv Street, Koji at dusk (pizza next door is a note, not a second pin). Grocery and Landwer are on the commercial strip. Playgrounds nearby stay unpublished until named. The mountain pull-off above Safed stays off the published map.

LeaveStart at Moshytz. It is a daytime bakery, not an afternoon assumption.
MealsCoffee and pastry at Moshytz — better roast of the two north café favorites. Burgers at Route 90 on Hwy 90 if that is lunch — skip if you are saving Koji. Dinner at Koji. Do not reverse bakery and dinner.

Koji Friday: site lists open until Shabbat; family caveat is Friday can be closed — check before you promise dinner. The scenic turnaround above Safed stays unpublished.

  1. Off Hwy 91 at Kibbutz Mahanayim, north of Rosh Pina. One of two north café favorites — better coffee and pastry of the pair. Daytime bakery; not an afternoon assumption. · Restrooms. · breakfast.

    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.

  2. Hwy 90 burger pin a few hundred meters from Moshytz. East-Nashville-joint energy. Skip if you are saving dinner for Koji. · Skip if tired. · Restrooms. · lunch.
