It is a very impressive sweets shop. The lanterns are whimsical and the decorations inviting. The variety of sweets is overwhelming! The Turkish coffee is served in a traditional style with a pice of lokum and a bit of water. Prices are exorbitantly high, but if you want a delectable treat it might be worth your while.

Great place for dessert or a snack if you are into baklava or Turkish delight. They have a wide selection of flavors and offer taste if something catches your eye. I tried the walnut baklava which was excellent.There are a few indoor tables as well as outdoor tables so you can take a moment to enjoy without rushing in and out.Service was good and I found the staff attentive but not assertive.

I drive here with my husband once a month all the way from Chino. This place is so elegant and delicious! I can't get enough!

Perfect Turkish Delights and other candies! The shop is at the center of Santa Barbara in an outdoor mall and also offers free taste testers of fine Turkish hand crafted sweets. You won't regret stopping in and try my favorites, the Lemon Hazelnut and Pistachio Pomegranate, yum ?!

The bright colors are definitely eye catching. Not to mention the samples. The Rose Tea is fragrant and delicious. Took home a variety box. Half made it home. The gentleman was very patient and helpful.

Lokum was a delightful surprise in our adventures around Santa Barbara! It was our first time in and Sercan took time to explain all the different offerings of teas, coffees and treats! The treats were exceptional, not too sweet and uniquely delicious!! I would definitely recommend stopping in to try some traditional Turkish desserts & drinks. Ask for Sercan by name he was awesome!!

Very friendly and attentive service with a clean organized interior, reminiscent of Istanbul. The Turkish coffee was excellent. Unfortunately, the lokum/Turkish delight was stale, hard and gummy. I've had plenty of Turkish delight that was fresh, soft and wonderfully tasty. Unfortunately, I cannot say that about the ones I had from this shop. I have gone there in the past with the same experience - great service and coffee, but tough chewy lokum. Great staff !
This place is amazing! Highly recommend the tiramisu nougat style Turkish delight and of course the baklava was top notch. Beautiful interior design. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable and comfortable visit with excellent recommendations and a deep sense of warmth. 10/10 will be back every time I’m on State.

food, service, staff (5/5): i love turkish delights, so i was very excited to find a shop while i was in santa barbara! it is a small shop in DTSB that caught my eye because of the extensive amount of flavors they showcased in their display case. the staff were super nice, friendly, and was open to giving you samples before buying anything. during my 4-day trip to SB, i ended up coming back 2x and getting 2 boxes full of turkish delights. the pomegrante turkish delights from the narnia movie was good too, i regret not getting more but i was more focused on getting the interesting flavors. my ABSOLUTE favorites were: - crispy strawberry pudding - caramelized raspberry almond - strawberry almond rose hazelnut praline - golden pearl banana almond - golden pearl blueberry (?) there was no sign for this one but this one was the BEST!

Friendly service. Love the selection of Turkish delights. It brings me back to my trip to Turkey. I felt the baklavas were not as fresh but still good.

What a fantastic and unique place. I come here every time I visit SB. The gluten free Turkish delights are the perfect dessert: sophisticated flavors, not too sweet, bite sized, and beautiful. Try the rose and saffron—my favorites! The baklava is also very worthwhile and the varieties are delightful to try. Atmosphere is beautiful, comfortable, and memorable with lovely beverages to enjoy. The cashiers are engaging, attentive, and kind. This business sets such a good example excelling in product, service, and atmosphere. Keep it up!

A delightful little spot in the center of Santa Barbara serving a wide array of Turkish coffees and sweets. The server gave us a free taste of a couple of vegetarian Turkish delights with our decaf Turkish coffees, which were beautifully presented. Lovely!
