we had a solid wholesale and retail base,” owner Roz Bratt said.

It turned out they made the right choice.
Today, the bakery is an inviting, cozy shop at 510 S. 5th St.
where customers can sit with a cup of coffee and a sweet, or take-
out from the tantalizing offerings in the case. The menu features
traditional kosher baked goods, with a wide selection of cakes,
pies, muffins, cookies and breads.
Homemade Goodies by Roz has a Kashrut Hechsher, which is
the highest level of certification. They have the Keystone K, and
they maintain it with pride; the procurement process was intense.
“We scoured the bakery; everything was boiled for a specified
period of time, the oven was blowtorched, we had a team of seven
rabbis here for the inspection,” Bratt said. “It was kind of intimi-
dating, but we got the kashrut and things have gone well ever since.”
