Doesn't Recommend

I'd try it again. I really wanted to like this place. When I got there, a gentleman was touching up the painting of baked goods on the outside, and it was quiet.

I decided to try a rum ball, a macaroon, and baklava. The rum ball wasn't too rum-laden, though it was a bit mushy. I would have preferred a more cakey texture or something closer to gulab jamun, but it seemd undercooked. At least I didn't have to worry that my co-workers would think I'd had a few lunchtime cocktails.

The macaroon, though also seemingly a bit undercooked, was better. It was cakier than the ones I get at Whole Foods, but it had enough coconut and was quite tasty.

The baklava was my fave from this place. It was very gooey, but in a good caramelly way. The pastry was flaky, too.

I'd try this place again, but I wouldn't recommend it without finding a true gem amongst their goods first.
