I like their phyllo wrapped prune things, don't know the name, but they are SO SO good. Tue Jan 27 10:16:17 -0800 2009 4360914 10147 michele cindy 2 4361371 And I was beaten to the punch, too. The baklava at Zeytuna's is also rather good. One might be surprised to buy top notch baklava at the local market, but considering that the store is Turkish-owned, it makes sense.

Tue Jan 27 08:47:25 -0800 2009 4361371 17058 Pan 4 4361850 Zeytuna is on the corner of John and William Sts. I have mainly relied on them for produce and meat as they are competitively priced and of high quality. They also have a reasonable selection of cheeses (a luxury in the neighborhood). The baklava is the only in-house-made option that stands out in my recollection.
