Hungarian Baker Rises to Success

Since Meir Jacobs bought the J&T Bread Bin 34 years ago, the bakery hasn\’t changed much. Nestled in the center of the Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax, it retains its old-world charm — the original glass showcases line the store\’s perimeter, and the original orange \”Bread Bin\” metal signs hang on both sides of the store. Handwritten yellow notes advertise the goods: chocolate danishes, raspberry hamantaschen, sprinkled cookies, lemon bars, macaroons and more.

It\’s the Hungarian treats that reveal the bakery\’s hidden history. The loaves of glazed cinnamon raisin bread, the apple squares and the three-flavored puff pastries called kalaches give meaning to Jacobs\’ words: \”This is a very old-fashioned-style bakery.\”
