Our History

Founded in the vibrant cityscape of Jaffa, where the salty breeze from the Mediterranean mingles with the tantalizing aroma of fresh bread, Abulafia Bakery has woven itself into the rich tapestry of culinary heritage in the Holy Land. Established in the 19th century by Said Abulafia, the bakery has since become a beloved institution, a testament to tradition, resilience, and the magic of authentic flavors.
 
The story begins with Said, a passionate baker and chef who had a modest beginning. The bakery was a small storefront where Said hand-crafted traditional Middle Eastern bread, drawing inspiration from the region's diverse culinary influences.
 
As the bakery expanded with several branches, it retained its intimate charm. The bustling storefront became a symbol of continuity. In this place, the old world met the new, and generations gathered to savor the timeless flavors of Abulafia's bread. It was a place of cross-border consensus, bringing together clients from different ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds to enjoy the savory pastries.
 
Today, Abulafia Bakery is not only a culinary landmark but a living testament to the resilience and adaptability of Said Abulafia, great great great grandson of the founder and 6th generation baker. With its rich history and commitment to preserving the essence of traditional baking, Abulafia Bakery remains a cherished destination, inviting all who enter to partake in the warmth of its ovens and the legacy of flavors that have withstood the test of time while continuing to evolve and renew its array of pastries to not only stay relevant but also to be a step ahead of other bakers.
