Owner Vic Warra has operated the
kosher donut shop and soup counter
under the supervision of the Council
of Orthodox Rabbis since Jan. 1.

troops pay regular visits. Sandwiches,
which are also available to go, include
egg salad, tuna salad, cheese, or
peanut butter and jelly on bread,
bagel or croissant. They serve a varie-
ty of pasta salads, tuna macaroni
salads, and a special vegetable salad
of the day.
On a recent visit Greek salad was
featured as well as zucchini lasagna
and tuna noodle casserole.
All the soups served start with a
Heinz base, and each day a different
employee "creates" the special soup
of the day by adding cheese, noodles
or vegetables to the base stock.
Tomato soup with vegetables was a
hit, as was cream of celery with
noodles and cheese. Fruit in season
and yogurt are available and cereals
are offered for breakfast. Vegetarian
pizza bagels are topped with onions,
zucchini, mushrooms or green pep-
pers. In addition to the regular line
of donuts, Mrs. Glynn features holi-
day treats such as latkes for
Chanukah, honey cake for Rosh
Hashanah and cheese danishes for
Shavuot.

Catholics and Lutherans add
Judaism to their ecumenical mix by
becoming kosher a year ago? "I'm for

my own, and I felt bad when I read
that Jewish children couldn't have
kosher donuts anymore (when kosher
supervision ended at another shop).
I'm more or less catering to children
