What People Are Saying About Damascus Bread & Pastry Shop
The Editor

In Short – This no-frills Syrian bread and pastry shop has been family owned since 1930. Crates of whole wheat, garlic, sesame, and regular pitas at rock-bottom prices line one wall, and a friendly counter person attends glass display cases for honey-rich pastries such as walnut lady fingers and pistachio birds nests, or traditional Middle Eastern cookies, such as mamool and gorayba. Shelves are lined with savory phyllo dough pies filled with combinations of spinach, lamb, feta cheese, and potatoes.
The Details on Damascus Bread & Pastry Shop
Save Money:
Though the pitas are cheap, the pastries are more expensive. If you're buying a bunch, look for the pre-made party platters.
Know Before You Go:
If Middle Eastern desserts are new to you, it's OK to ask for a taste before you buy.
