I am always on the hunt for pistachio baklava, and this place has it! They call it Warbat, a term I've never heard before. But I'll take it!
They also had something called Burma, which is a pistachio inside shredded dough. Something that reminds me of greek kataifi.
Overall, it was very delicious and a great treat. Also, it's so nice that it's located right in amongst the apartments and homes.

Quaint little place with some really cool drinks selection. Loved the creme brulee latte and the ornate decoration around the Turkish coffee. Would love to come back!

The decor is amazing! Like a trip to the Middle East. However, $6.85 for a latte???! The treats at the counter look great. However, I'm afraid I'd have to mortgage my house to get one! Back to the U.S.!

I came here a few times when it first opened last year, and I would suggest coming here for drinks only. I came back today after a long time and was craving baklava. I paid $35 for 6 little pieces of baklava. It was $5.95 an order which I thought would come with more than one piece but it was price per piece!There was no line & just one person after me. Even though I ordered to go and didn’t want them heated, I still had to wait 7 mins to get them. Seems like operations still need to be improved in terms of being efficient. And their slices of cake are $10…,pretty steep if you ask me, considering you can get a slice of cake at Whole Foods for $7. If you want baklava, you’re better off ordering from Mediterranean Kitchen in Burlingame and getting 3 pieces for $7.95. Once again, if you want middle eastern drinks, you can get those here, and sit & enjoy if you have the time. This review is solely based on prices of the desserts, and operations.

I got the Sahlab drink. It wasn't really up my alley, but I'm glad I tried it anyways! I liked the coffee shop vibes here.
