Baklava

Okay, this might be a bit weird, but where in the general Davis Square area can one get really good baklava? Thanks for any ideas. :)

Cedars (the hummus folks) makes it. I've gotten it at the Harvest Coop before. It's good, but not as flaky as some of the restaurant versions. But I like it that way.

Also, if you're interested in making a healthier version for your kids, I've discovered that you can slice apples into very thin slices (with a mandoline or vegetable peeler) and layer them with some thick liquid sweetener of your choice (I make date paste with dates and water blended together, maybe with a bit of lemon juice) and chopped nuts. Let it sit marinating for a few hours (I do this in a dehydrator to warm it up, while keeping most of the vitamins still intact) so that it gets all gooey and thick before eating. It's not flaky at all, but it's soooooo good!
