Was absolutely delicious. Knafeh was very warm, cheesy and a perfect balance between sweet and savory! Wish there was more space for indoor/outdoor seating. Would have loved to sit and enjoy it there!

I recently discovered Al Aqsa and am blown away by the delicious sweets I’ve gotten there. The items are fairly priced and melt in your mouth delicious. The baklava and Knafeh are amazing. The lady who helped me let me sample items and made recommendations-all that helped me pick a gift I was buying for a friend to celebrate Ramadan(and some for our family too!) Highly recommend this family owned bakery.
