"Sofreh Cafe opened in 2021 in Bushwick selling pastries laced with rosewater, studded with pistachios, and sprinkled with cardamom. A short-lived project that closed a couple of months later, it has just reopened at the Prospect Heights and Park Slope border, near Barclays Center — across from the street from its sibling Iranian restaurant, Sofreh, owned by Nasim Alikhani, known for its Persian dishes that caught the attention of the James Beard Awards this year." - Emma Orlow
