I recently had the pleasure of visiting Apricot and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. As soon as I stepped through the door, I was greeted by the warm aroma of freshly roasted coffee and nuts, the tempting sight of colorful dried fruits, and the irresistible allure of Turkish sweets. The selection was impressive, offering a wide variety of nuts, from crunchy hazelnuts to creamy cashews, and an array of dried fruits, from tangy peaches to sweet figs.
Have I mentioned the delights? From delicate Turkish delight to decadent baklava, each bite was a symphony of flavors that left me craving more.
And let's not forget their selection of coffee and teas ranging from traditional Turkish black tea to aromatic herbal blends.
The staff at Apricot were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, eager to help me navigate and offer recommendations based on my preferences. The store itself was stylish, impeccably clean, and well-organized, making it a pleasure to shop there.
Overall, my experience at Apricot was nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're a connoisseur of nuts and dried fruits, a lover of Turkish coffee and tea, or simply someone with a sweet tooth, this store has something to satisfy every craving. I highly recommend paying them a visit – you won't be...
Read moreI visited the cute cafe next door and realized that Apricot was connected. I wanted to love it in here so bad because there was a wide variety of things and I would have loved to purchase something however the employee who worked there was not friendly and that ruined the entire visit for me.
In fact, he came from the back and stared at me as I walked around looking at things. When I asked how much the Turkish delight was he answered dismissively and told me “I don’t know, it’s per pound or something.” He said this as if I was annoying him by asking even though no price signs were posted. He also made no attempt to actually find the price for me.
He then proceeded to continue staring at me as if he wanted to make sure I wasn’t stealing anything. He didn’t ask if I needed help, talk to me, smile, or offer anything. He acted like I was bothering him and stood guard in the middle of the store, closely following me and turning his body wherever I moved. He acted like he needed to keep an eye on me for some strange reason.
I was very uncomfortable and felt unwelcomed. I won’t be spending my money at any establishment where I’m not welcomed so I left without purchasing anything in Apricot and would recommend other Black people to do the same if that same unfriendly employee is...

I didn’t know which side to look but my eyes were set on my favorite ..”Turkish Delight .. “
I love to try fresh made ( not pre boxed )Turkish delight , so selected some of their flavors.
Classic Rose , Pistachio and Pomegranate coated with dried rose petals. I was blown away by all three particularly the Rose flavor .
Th next sinful delight was their Baklava which was juicy ,oozing with honey , loaded with nuts and very delicious. I picked Pistachio , Walnut and double Pistachio.
Baklava and Turkish delight tasted fresh , very addictive , not too sweet , no annoying additives or fragrance .
It’s worth visiting this store just for the Baklava and Turkish Delight.
They also have dry fruits, nuts , other Turkish pastries, candies and coffee powder .
The person who attended to us was quick and answered our questions . Plastic packing was the only not so great part of the experience
It’s a cute little store offering tempting goodies that’s “Not...
