The Baklava

This baklava shop is truly a gem for anyone who enjoys authentic sweets and great coffee.

The baklava is simply outstanding—crispy, perfectly layered, and made fresh with just the right balance of sweetness. You can immediately taste the quality and care that goes into every piece. What makes this place even more special is their Dubai chocolate, which is always made fresh and tastes amazing—smooth, rich, and unique compared to anything else you’ll find nearby.

To complete the experience, they serve authentic Turkish coffee, brewed traditionally and packed with flavor. It’s strong, aromatic, and pairs beautifully with their desserts. You really get the full experience here: delicious sweets, great drinks, and a touch of cultural authenticity that makes it stand out from other coffee shops.

On top of all that, the staff is friendly, welcoming, and happy to help you choose if you’re not sure what to try first. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat, catching up with friends, or just want a place to relax with excellent desserts and coffee, this shop delivers every time.

Highly recommended—if you love baklava, Turkish coffee, or want to try fresh Dubai chocolate, you’ll be very glad you found this place

Very nice place with very hospitable owners. The baklava we’ve tried was amazing, usually in other places they can be too dry, but this was so delicious. Found it accidentally while walking inside the mall. Definitely recommend this place.

Excellent customer service and the baklava was sooo delicious and I tried the Turkish coffee and was very good. Definitely recommend this place.

We tried a hazelnut pistachio chocolate treat here and it was 10/10. I honestly cannot believe how good it was! I'd come back to this mall just to get another one!

Unfortunately, the baklava was stale and didn’t taste fresh at all. The texture was dry and hard, which really took away from the usual delicious experience. I was disappointed with the quality.

All flavors of Baklava and Turkish delights are amazing. They also have incredible Dubai chocolate with a good amount of filling. The service is very good and the workers are always kind and make me want to keep coming back.

Delicious Turkish coffee and pastries/Turkish delicacies. The owner is very gracious and kind and makes our visits even more pleasant. We love to stop in whenever we can.

Best baklava I have ever had! Perfect crunch, just the right amount of sweetness. Highly recommended!

Baklava is expensive, soggy, (not crispy layers), soft, stale and the biggest issue for me - NO BUTTER flavor at all! Despite trying several different varieties, I do not believe there is one drop of butter or ghee in any of this baklava. All you taste is sugar and soggy layers. Maybe if they actually used butter it would be crisp and flakey! Avoid!

The place is visually beautiful, but the products are too expensive and the products are stale.

Just give appreciation to those who deserve it🌷

We were on our way to have lunch at a food court spot here when we saw The Baklava and thought we might give it a try after lunch. After lunch, I honestly thought we were just going to look and not buy anything, but the gentleman working here was so helpful and friendly that we just had to buy a few items. I imagine he was probably the owner; he definitely had owner vibes. He was very knowledgeable about other locations around Orange County and Santa Barbara that serve baklava. We actually ended up getting Turkish coffee, which I now recall having tried at a very well-known Santa Barbara spot and hating. Well, the Turkish coffee here has made me a believer. My girlfriend and I are definitely coming back for more baklava and Turkish coffee.

As far as the baklava itself, I would say the standard baklava was very similar to a place we used to go to where we know they brought in homemade baklava. We also tried the chocolate baklava, and wow! That was definitely my favorite. I can't wait to come back again.

My friend and I came into this shop and the staff was so friendly and they had such delicious desserts and tea! My favorite was the Chocolate Pistachio Hazelnut. The staff was so kind and gave great recommendations! I would absolutely come back here to enjoy a treat!

The best baklava I’ve ever had in my life
The freshest ever!
I will be back

I was in the area and saw this cafe has really good reviews and decided to try. It’s located on the first floor inside of the mall! It took me a while to locate it!!! Try their Turkish dessert! It’s really pleasant :) super friendly staff as well.
