Wild Bread Bakery in Kfar Daniel Becomes Premier Brunch Destination Outside Tel Aviv
Wild Bread, originally a small bakery in Tel Aviv's Yad Harutzim complex, has relocated to a spacious venue in Kfar Daniel, situated between Ben Shemen and Modiin. Founded by a couple of bakers trained abroad, the bakery has evolved into a notable brunch and bakery spot offering exceptional sourdough breads, pastries, and a full restaurant experience five days a week. The rustic setting emphasizes the quality of the food over decor, with simple furnishings and white walls.
The bakery's signature products include the "wild bread," a dark, flavorful sourdough with a crunchy crust, and the popular Jerusalem-style focaccia, a large sesame-topped bread ideal for family meals. Customers are advised to reserve in advance, especially on Fridays, as the place fills up quickly. Besides dining in, Wild Bread offers home delivery in the central Israel area and online ordering.
The menu has expanded to include 11 dishes such as salads, eggs, toasts, and light meals, all crafted to complement their breads and pastries. Highlights include a classic butter croissant, chocolate croissant, and a pain suisse filled with pastry cream and chocolate chips. The Caprese salad and Caesar salad are praised for their freshness and generous portions, while the smoked trout plate offers a delicate, flavorful option.
Standout brunch items are the Emmental omelet sandwich and the grilled mushroom toast, both served on the bakery's signature wild bread. The omelet is described as large, airy, and filled with melted Emmental cheese, while the mushroom toast combines Emmental and Gruyère cheeses with lightly grilled mushrooms and a refreshing cucumber salad. Desserts include house-made gelato, which continues the bakery’s tradition of excellence, and bread pudding, which received mixed reviews.
Wild Bread in Kfar Daniel is recommended for those willing to travel for a high-quality, unpretentious culinary experience focused on artisanal baking and simple, delicious food. Reservations are essential, and patience is rewarded with exceptional flavors and a unique atmosphere away from the city bustle.
