My first 2 visits the owner and other staff were extremely welcoming. He seemed genuinely excited to show me the store's offerings. This last visit I came during the early evening. I didn't get the customer service like before & honestly no one seemed happy to be there BUT I then remembered it was during their time of fasting and it was nearing the hour in which they get to break fast for dinner. So, I will not take it personally. I'd be "Hangry" too!They have a huge selection of candy, seeds, nuts & spices most being weighed for price. The Turkish delights are just that, delightful! The staff are happy to give samples of them as well so you can feel confident in your purchase if you're new to this cuisine like myself.Be prepared to spend some money though! I'm definitely a regular now. There is so much more I want to try & something for everyone's taste or preferences!Kid-friendliness: Extravagantly decorated cotton candy & milkshakes, things kids only dream of!! Social media worthy!

Fantastic. Folks are so kind and the gal explaining the baklava and the owner then walking around with us explaining and encouraging—kindly and on-pushy—to consider this or that was just fun and relaxing.Visited from Indiana but certainly will be coming back to with our kids. It was hard to not wanting to keep buying stuff due to the variety of things that we just don’t get routine at all in US.We don’t care for milk chocolate and were initially going after the dark ones but then he had us try some milk and it was a much more mellow sweet chocolate. Wasn’t expecting that, so then that led to milk chocolate type candy getting purchased too.Certainly with the time and yes even calories.

They were so friendly there. Very helpful and recommended lots of different types of Turkish Delights. We even tried almost every single one to see which were our favorites. Excited to continue to share this gem of a place with more friends and family.Kid-friendliness: Cotton candy and so many awesome selections!

Owner is so nice and great friendly staff! Delicious crepes and unique flavors!! This place has a tremendous amount of variety for every sweet tooth- awesome
They did NOT disappoint! Wow! We left with spices, perfume, Turkish delights & more ?. I love that they’re open so late, what a gem in our community!** the fruit was so fresh & the food was SO warm & generously portioned. 10/10.
I was in this area of town and I searched chocolate….i was craving. This place popped up. We decided to give it a try. It is filled with all kinds of goodies including some that I have never seen or tried. It is a Turkish store and I kind of felt intimidated. Quickly, I went to the candies I was more familiar with. I grabbed some peanut butter malted milk balls. When I was paying, the store clerk ( might have been the owner ) asked if I tried them before I bagged them. Confused, I thought that was theft. He smiled as a pulled one out of the bag to check to see if I liked them. They were great! He then asked my wife and I if we liked certain items and proceeded to shower us with all kinds of samples of different types of goodies that we normally wouldn’t give a second look too. None of them were bad. One was quite tasty, and, it ended up giving the store another sale. Would I go back? Absolutely! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed! Oh by the way, they have an ice cream shop inside. We did not try that. We will do that next time. Thanks for your kindness and hospitality!
