A Massachusetts-style knish is a flaky pastry with brisket, potatoes and onions stuffed inside.
And according to Cindy Rafey, owner of Cindy’s Corner Market, 7020 Charleston Shores Blvd., these pastries are hard to find.
“No one else makes them,” she said. “We are even starting to ship them to Massachusetts and California.”
Rafey said the knishes are what her store in Boynton Beach is known for.
Cindy’s Corner Market opened last September after six weeks of transformation from a convenience store into a home-style deli.
With Passover starting sunset of April 8, Rafey is making special kosher-style knishes with no flour and no cake meal.
During Passover, the celebration of the freedom of the Jewish people from ancient Egypt, unleavened bread and kosher meals must be eaten.
Cindy’s Corner Market also carries more than the rare Massachusetts Knish, including pre-made meals, lunch meats made onsite, salads, homemade salad dressings and chicken cutlets already fried.
The market is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.
For information, call Cindy’s Corner Market at 561-968-1855.

I have been into the marklet before and the food is wonderful and the knishes are great, but I heard a man with a goatee talking about the owner making knishes at home and talking about her dog and if she does that I can not go there anymore because of pet hair

I would like to reply to the cooking at home statement, first anyone who comes to the store is welcome to go in the back and see Cindy cooking in the kitchen we built her...Second anyone who knows us sees how many houres we spend at the store. We are at the store from 8AM to 9PM (do you realy think she's cooking when we get home (I think not) We don't even cook in the house for ourselves (we bring it home)or we starve! Steve Cohen.

I was in the store and asked Cindy about cooking at home. She said the person only heard half of the conversation. The cooking at home was 17 years ago when she was a stay at home mom.
