## Caption

Khadeeja is a sweet, young woman of Pakistani background who left her tech job to pursue this creative venture @nazliandco in the Lower East Side. She grew up in Queens and Long Island and prides herself in her maternal sides craftsmanship of making things with their hands. She incorporates both Pakistani and and her husbands Sri Lankan influences in her store, such that all the tea sourced are via fair trade from Sri Lanka.

We are really inspired by her story because we all know it is NOT easy to incubate such a venture in a Manhattan zip code. Right now her store only has a few main items until sold out but she makes new unique items everyday. She recommends that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are good times to stop by.

She has both sweet and savory pastries and baked. Also a coffee bar. She plans to incorporate halal meat items in the coming weeks, and she specifically expressed that she has a desire to introduce this as it’s not been done before and that that the community needs something like this.

There are a few hours left until we break our fast so that we can try all the items we bought (which was everything) so we’ll definitely let you guys know how it goes. 💕
