"Whether it’s Norooz (Persian New Year) or a regular Tuesday, there is no better place to buy traditional Persian confections than at Rex Bakery. The naan-e nokhodchi, clover-shaped chickpea cookies with cardamom, melts in one’s mouth with its powdery consistency. The zoolbia, a crispy funnel cake-shaped pastry, and bamieh, a doughy oval-shaped pastry, are both doused in rosewater and saffron syrup." - Melody Barooni
