Tatte, part of the corporate Panera empire, has them. Haven't tasted theirs, so can't speak to the quality. I'm a Latke man myself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latke%E2%80%93Hamantash_Debate)

Blacker's Bakery in Newton (one of the bakeries mentioned in the article is a great destination for anyone with nut allergies. The entire bakery is nut-free (and I believe it's also dairy-free).

Not to mention the couple that runs the place are very nice folks.

Yes, Blacker's is both nut-free and dairy-free. My nut-allergic son and my dairy-avoiding self are both very happy there.

Mamaleh's in Kendall Square had them at the deli counter this week. Poppy, prune, apricot, and quince with pistachio could all be had.
