We came here for brunch, pretty much spur of the moment after thinking we were going to Bay Ridge. Ahhh, sometimes things do happen for a reason. I've been in there before for sweet treats and both treats and service have always been delightful. Brunch was no different. First off the servers are very very, kind and attentive. We had a veggie omelette which came with a little salad and I had eggs Benedict with avocado. I love me some eggs Benedict and this place nailed it. So very delicious and enjoyable! We left extremely satisfied and happy. Very highly recommend.
Best baklava in the area, even worth traveling from the other boroughs for. It is so flaky, sweet, made fresh and delicious. The baklava is by the pound. Most of the options are pistachio, some are walnut. Happy they opened up the other half of the cafe. Great meeting spot to catch up with friends. I have not tried their other bakery items or cakes but will definitely return! Located on Kings Highway, a very busy neighborhood. Street parking or take the b/q train to the Kings Highway stop.
A friend of mine brought baklava from this bakery to a dinner party at my house yesterday. I consider myself a baklava snob, having tasted some of the best while gallivanting through Istanbul Turkey. Pistachio baklava is literally my weakness, so when I put the pistachio rolled baklava in my mouth, you can only imagine the surprise, shock and utter delight I felt all at once. The filling was fresh, exterior pastry was crispy, buttery, soaked with syrup in every layer, yet still holding its shape. This is some of the best baklava I've had outside of Istanbul, and that is high praise. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, you have to stop by here and get a few pieces especially of the pistachio rolled pastry, that thing is a work of art.
Been coming here for years. The Turkish tea is my go to. For breakfast I recommend the Menemen Eggs and some fries alongside a piece of freshly made Baklava. Prices are fair, customer service is very attentive and they recently expanded so there is plenty of seating. It's a nice spot in the neighborhood to catch up with friends over some burek or baklava. Plus parking is easy to find nearby.
I was craving for Turkish baked goods so I visited here last weekend. As soon as I enter I could tell this place was good. Very clean, nicely decorated, happy customers and workers. The girl who helped me was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I like to try baklava from many stores and compare. This place Baklava is pretty good. Very distinctive than other Turkish bakeries. It has after taste of butter and something tastes like condensed milk(?), maybe great for a couple or a few piece. Then it becomes too sweet to me. So i could not eat whole a lot but perfect for a few pieces. The bread there are very delicious. I have been looking for my favorite Turkish bakery and So far this place beats many places for it. Chocolate croissant is super delicious. Nice dark chocolate but not bitter, and perfectly flaky outside. I never had that good one ever. The spinach and cheese pastries are great, too. Its usually very strong taste from other Turkish Bakeries but one from here has less strong but still has good flavor. Even my sons who usually hates those bread enjoy it for the first time. Overall it is a super nice bakery!
Came by in the afternoon for a quick snack after going for a walk around the area - place was quite spacious and accommodating of my baby as he napped in the stroller next to our table. Having never really tried a Turkish bakery before, I had no idea what most of the offerings were and the lady behind the counter was nice and patient enough to give me quick descriptions of the pastries they had. I ordered two savory breads but wasn't too impressed by the very scant amount of cheese and meat filling. The lentil soup was delicious, hearty and spiced. Their famous baklava was great - tried a few of their varieties, enjoyed the rich pistachio flavor; definitely very sweet so it was perfect for sharing before it got too cloying.
