The Baklava Lady Café, Englishtown [NJ]

The semolina cake was interesting. The cake is an orange syrup soaked almost muffin like texture; very moist. The topping is the texture of a stale potato chip with a light rose fragrance and pistachio dusting. And in spite of this crazy descrip, I really enjoyed it. Her vegan take on baklava is much less sweet and dry/flakier which I prefer. The triangle pastry was a savory spinach snack. Equally tasty.

The hummus toast, currently replacing their avocado version, came with a nice side salad. My only complaint is olives used in a salad should always be pitted.
