Castro, San Francisco · shop
A tiny Greek specialty shop on Castro Street that takes its coffee seriously, the iced Greek frappé is made the traditional way and the Turkish coffee gets its own ritual. Kourabiedes, honey pastries, and imported Aegean sweets fill the rest of the case.
Butter-rich Greek wedding cookies dusted in powdered sugar, made fresh in-house.
Nescafé shaken frothy over ice with condensed milk. Made the old-school Greek way.
Traditional rose-scented Turkish delight cubes -- soft, fragrant, sold by the quarter pound.
