Yas Persian Treats

It’s been a while. But my husband was running out of sugar cubes so we needed to take a ride to Yas Bakery in Vienna. We can no longer find sugar cubes in the grocery store, so this is our go to place not only for the sugar, but also for the desserts and other treats. Yas is a Persian grocery/bakery that we found even in Vienna even before we moved to northern Virginia. We would often times take a ride there from Capitol Hill to get cookies and treats for friends and family - and ourselves. There are also interesting tea cups and other notable items that we have made in to Christmas and graduation gifts. It’s a bit unique and we enjoy looking. So today we found a bunch of small cucumbers, saffron pistachios, a cookie/cake item my husband likes with tea, the broken up uneven sugar cubes, and some Persian tea. The tea has the name of our niece Sahar and the sugar cubes have the name of some family members Golchin. I also like going to this place because it reminds my husband of where he came from. Now it is a lot closer to home and there is no excuse not to go. This time we had a good reason.
