Yuval Golan starts his day making a batch of traditional Jewish doughnuts, otherwise known as sufgyanoit. They are just one of the many cultural options he and his sister, Tal Campana, offer at their Westchester bakery, Martine's Fine Bake Shoppe.

"We grew up in the food business with my father having restaurants," explained Campana, one of the co-owners of Martine's Fine Bake Shoppe. "[My brother and I] always wanted to open up something, especially a bakery or a coffee shop...This place came up, and we took it."

After first opening their shop in 2008, the brother-sister duo wanted to properly represent multiple types of cultures through the pastries they offered.

"We travel all over the world," said Golan. "We saw a lot of Europe [and the Middle East], and we bring a lot of ideas from over there."

"There was a lot of inspiration overseas," added Campana.

Coming from a Jewish family themselves, the two wanted to embrace their cultural background. As a result, they now offer a wide variety of pastries for religious holidays, like Hanukkah.

"The main item for Hanukkah is the doughnuts," said Campana. "It started with the jelly doughnuts, but then it evolved ... So, this year we have the Dubai chocolate doughnut. We have a strawberries and cream doughnut. We have cookies and cream...and [more]. We also make the potato latkes."

But the shop's No. 1 seller? Their babkas.

"We have three kinds of babka," said Golan. "The most popular are the chocolate [ones]."

"Even Jerry Seinfeld liked our babka," Campana proudly added.

Joining Seinfeld are community members of all cultures and faiths, who have become returning customers for multiple years.

"The response is tremendous, and about a month ago, we had already been getting phone calls about all the [sufgyanoit] flavors we're going to have for the season," said Campana. "It inspires us to come up with new items, get more ideas and get more creative."

Martine's Fine Bake Shoppe's original store is located at 10 Fisher Ave. in Tuckahoe. A second location opened in 2011 at 48 East Parkway in Scarsdale, and a third one is expected to open in Ardsley in spring 2026.
