Found this gem after a google search, looking for something different for lunch. I discovered several mentions of burek which I had never heard of. So I googled it and it sounded really good and similar to something I have had many times called a pastizzi, which is a Maltese delicacy.
So my son and I tried the burek for the first time today from Marco’s. We shared a cheese and a meat. They were both delicious and my son agreed it is much like a pastizzi, only bigger and more filling. And similar to spanakopita in Greek cuisine.
Marco’s is a cozy little bakery with lots of other baked goodies. We tried a few and they were delicious as well. The prices are also extremely reasonable. We had a plentiful lunch with dessert for about $16, and we had an extra item that we could not finish.
And you can tell that everything here is made from scratch with care and fresh ingredients. I would highly recommend this bakery and plan to return.
Update -2023
Been back a few times since. Still as amazing as ever. Bureks are fantastic. And prices still very reasonable despite inflation everywhere else. Highly recommend this place and plan to return...
Read moreBest burek and gibanica I’ve ever bought. They don’t scrimp on the filling, like many of the bakeries I’ve been to.
You can order ahead and have the the option of whether you want the party platter (gibanica) unbaked so you can do it at home and have that wonderful aroma! Cheese and meat burek are sold by the slice, so order ahead if you want spinach/cheese or another kind of filling. They have other products too from the Balkans, from smoked sausage to soft drinks to chocolates and laundry detergent — it’s well worth a visit. I go there often and it’s excellent!
And to the reviewer below who says the meat burek is too greasy ... it’s supposed to be that way! That’s how they make it in the Balkans. But for those who don’t like it, you can buy a slice of cheese burek or order a whole one with a...
Read moreExtremely rude service; was ignored for a good 10min while the woman working talked to and served two other people before us, while not even bothering to greet us and let us pay for our food. I don't care if your friends come in and you wanna chat with them, you are at work; serve the other customers in front of you first, and talk to your friends afterward. The sandwiches took a ridiculously long time to make, and the amount of vegetables on were rather pathetic considering I had a vegetarian sandwich, and the pesto wasn't even put on in the end. Never experienced such an unprofessional demeanor from any customer service staff in my life. Breads are decent but not worth the rude attitude or the long wait you're going to receive if you try to buy...
