Marzipan is legendary in Jerusalem for one thing above all else: its rugelach, widely considered the best in the city and possibly the country. The café side is simple and unpretentious, but the pastry counter is a pilgrimage stop for locals and visitors alike. Expect a queue, especially on Fridays before Shabbat, and don't leave without a bag of the chocolate rugelach.
