Tender, fine-grained and lightly sweet bun, with raspberry jam, flavored with orange blossom water and mahleb, a Syrian spice which evokes the scent of almond orchards in bloom. Mahleb is a unique spice made from the inner pit of the black sour cherry. Its flavor is both subtle and singular. Softly fragrant and slightly bitter.
Alternates with Apricot Knot Bun on Thursdays until sold out.
$3.35 each
