"I note that baker and co-owner Lily Azar prepares traditional Nowruz sweets every year—Persian rice flour cookies (berenji), chickpea cookies (nokhodchi), and Persian shortbread made with cardamom, rose water, and pistachios—and will also offer pistachio baklava, gluten-free almond cookies with rose water, and raspberry coconut macarons; the shop gets busy so place orders by calling (626) 486-2124." - Mona Holmes
