It’s good to have an Israeli café chain open up in SoHo because I was getting a bit tired of the sandwiches, muffins and coffee one finds at our local coffee shops. At Aroma Café I can get a bureka treat, a sandwich filled with cheese, slices of hard-boiled egg, tomatoes, tahini and pickles — yummers! I’m not sure if this is an everyday Israeli treat, but whoever thought of it is a genius. The burekas have a good dose of sesame seeds on them, reminding me of Chinese bing, or bread — which is also delicious and makes for a great sandwich bread even though it is not as light and crispy as a fresh bureka.
