Feyrous Pastries & Groceries
7.6
A neighborhood Middle Eastern bakery-grocer where breakfast is more counter-driven: pastries and savory bites you grab quickly and eat like a local. The move is to mix sweet with savory—one pastry, one falafel-style item—and call it a morning.

Baklava, Spinach pies, Falafel
