I was in Westwood and stumbled upon Apricot, a beautiful shop full of Turkish delights -- dried fruits and nuts, sweets, baklava, and coffee. It's an eye-catching, beautiful shop, so I had to walk in.
The owner came over to greet me, explained all of their offerings, and I just had to fill a big box full of yummy stuff. Sweets I've never tried before, everything with bits of pistachios, more variations of baklava than I knew existed, and more. Yep -- I filled a box with almost two pounds of stuff.
There was also a huge assortment of dried fruits and nuts with tons of variety.
"Anything else?" she asked... then I saw the coffee. She made me a delicious Turkish coffee. They have a few tables and chairs where you can sit and indulge, which is exactly what I did.
We chatted and I learned this location opened about four months ago, and they have three other shops around New Jersey. After my coffee, we read my fortune and I was on my way.
I'll most certainly return again. Highly recommend! read more
