Best Hamentashen in the Boston Area?

[lescaret]

I was recently in St. Paul, Minnesota and had the good fortune of eating fantastic hamentashen from Cecils Bakery & Deli. I'd love to find a good local source for these delicious (if unassuming) Jewish baked goods. Anybody have any ideas?

Note - I've had the ones from Whole Foods and they're mediocre at best.

On a recent impulse buy I got a mini pack from Wilson Farm in Lexington (of all places!). They were actually not bad!

Didnt get to them this year, but in past have loved Zuckers in West Peabody, kosher bakery from Montreal..They are a somewhat soft and very tasty cookie type. usually have lemon, prune, poppy , apricot, rasberry. Sometimes they make them beyond Purim so you could maybe find them still. Past years i hit them on a day when fresh hot from oven. that was special! I am very late, but plan on making a recipe that sounds great for easy hamantaschen which uses cake mix, eggs, flour and water. People online love it.. I will let you know!

Randomly I had a great hamentashen at Bella Motto in Arlington, it was better than the ones I received in my misloach manot at the school I work at (not that they weren't appreciated). I doubt they were Kosher though.

OMG-- I grew up on Cecil's. So great that they're still there!! You brought back great memories. Great corned beef and pastrami, too.

I just got 8 hamantashen from Kupel's and to call them mediocre would be kind. too big, too doughy, how can i say this- too goyish. The ones at Clear Flour Bakery - which is not a Jewish bakery - are far superior. The right size, the right ratio of filling to dough and they just look much prettier!

Cheryl Ann's bakery in Putterham Circle (Brookline). I'm not Jewish, but these little triangles are delicious!

I like the ones from Kupel's, which are available in small and large sizes and a fair variety of flavors year-round.

Clear Flour does some tiny but delicious ones, usually in two or three flavors, only around Purim.

i so often agree with allstonian that it pains me to say kupels hamentashen are truly not good. cheryl ann's are just passable. other than the times clear flour makes them, i haven't found any wonderful ones, but the Butcherie sometimes has packages from a Brooklyn kosher bakery that are pretty good.

Sadly, had a totally lousy hamentashen from kupel's not too long ago. Won't make that mistake again.

I admit that my comment about Kupel's wasn't based on recent experience - I've liked them okayin the past (certainly better thant supermarket hamantashen), but I don't think I've had one in at least a year.
