Lokum

If you’re craving the comfort of homemade baklava, Lokum should be on your radar. This Turkish bakery and cafe on State Street has over forty different kinds of Middle Eastern sweets like Turkish delights, knafeh, and almond cookies. Some have pistachios on top, some are drizzled with honey, others are filled with cream. We recommend mixing and matching at least a dozen Turkish delights (or whatever else catches your eye) to take back home. Lokum is also a great place to grab a cup of Turkish coffee and relax on a small sidewalk patio with free wifi.
