Wonderful treats. Nothing has disappointed. Service with a smile. I've been several times, once to thank the front office team where I work, dessert with friends and some for little 'ol me. Going again today for dessert with friends. Enjoy! read more

This place was amazing! I told the lady it was my first time and she gave me a sample to try, which was delicious. I got the small tray and mix & matched different kinds of baklava. I can't name any, but they were all incredible. The chocolate one and walnut one were probably my favorites. The texture and flavor is really nice and rich. They had been sitting out in the case so they were very syrupy and kinda soggy on the bottom, but I don't mind that too much. People were continuously coming in and out, and many seemed like regulars which is always a great sign. I paid $26 for this whole tray. read more

We were lucky enough to be there when some fresh and sweet treats came out of the oven. A over the top tasty treat for sure. The variety is off the charts and this place is definitely worth your attention. The staff is awesome and super helpful. The cases are full of treats that are pleasing to both the eye and the sweet tooth. Enjoy! read more

I order a dessert which they proceeded to tell me it would take 20 minutes so I came back waited another 20 minutes (even after acknowledging me & what I was here for 15 min in) about another 5-10 minutes they told me they "forgot" about my dessert after they sold a whole tray to somebody who just got there. Bad customer service & only prioritize you if you buy $150+. I spent $60 btw. Would not go back. I usually recommend this place bc it's close by and decent but there are many other baklava+ places that are more considerate and provide much better customer service. They didn't even try to make up and soothe the situation either. I had to request a refund and they gave me a refund based on the lowest price (not including taxes or anything). Also incredibly slow service when ordering. read more

Amazing baklava. So many different kinds don't know there names just point or ask them to recommend. The cream ones are delicious. Birds nest is probably least favorite but still good. Everything taste fresh. They have so much more than baklava but I haven't taken the time to look around. I have seen they sale local honey jarred or with raw honeycomb. Too many delicious sweets to choose from. Great for parties or just a quick dessert. Don't by baklava at the restaurant just come here. Hope to try everything one day. Women are always very helpful. read more

Have you had dessert from the Middle East? If not this IS the place to try all kinds!! They really have some beautiful tasty treats, that look like artwork. My favorite is the desserts that are cheese stuffed. It's a very mild cheese and very different from any other cheese I've encountered. The cheese has more of a mild cream flavor, anyway it's fantastic, I one of my favorite desserts to try. They have many different kinds, and the cost is reasonable. I took a picture of a large variety pack I ordered which was $10 total. When I came home I shared some with neighbors and they loved it so much they literally left to go get more, lol!! Great place to grab dessert, check it out if you can, it's really good. Happy eating!! read more

Alhamdani Sweets and Dessert - Creamy baklava i think. So freaking delicious. It was warm and fresh out of the oven. - Bakeries Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Who isn't happy when they're going to get some candy? We felt welcomed from beginning to end. She was very friendly and let us sample some sweets before buying and that was great. Honest, we came only for Turkish Delights, however the stuff she offered to us to try was so good. So good we had to buy some and we didn't even know the name. Love this place. Come here if you're candy curious. read more

Some Baklava was in order when I stopped by this Middle Eastern Bakery. The Baklava was very well made, and best of all, they did not hold back on the pistachios. The filo was expertly layered and heavily laden, in a good way, with sweet natural honey. The crushed pistachios were abundant, crunchy, and tasty. Their baklava rocks. The lady who ones the bakery makes everything herself with some help by her husband too I believe. She's very proud of her product and puts a lot of heart in what she offers. read more

Alhamdani Sweets and Dessert - Baklava :) - Bakeries Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Very nice place, not for diabetics....I loved the service, the quality, the taste and the variety...I'll be going back again.

If you're craving baklava, turkish delights this place is it! It's In the Weinerschnitzel plaza, the owners are sometimes working solo in the back and busy baking so be patient and they'll come to the front. The owner helping me was wearing a mask and there were also signs to wear masks before entering. I ordered two small pans with a mix variety for about $12 a pound. Super delicious and great for parties, potlucks and get-togethers! read more

Yummmy! Super delicious and mouth watering sweets! I highly recommend this business! Super friendly staff every time I visit!

Came here tonight all the way from Chula Vista. This place closes at 10pm, we got there at 9:53pm and it was closed. The lady saw us and she said no as she continues to clean. Are you kidding me? Never going back to this place ever again. Don't say you close at 10pm when you really close when you want to. read more

I almost wish I never came to this place... Because I'm officially addicted!!!!! Being middle eastern, I've had good baklava, bad baklava, and just ok baklava. This place has some of the best I've ever had! Walking in, a very sweet lady by the name of Ava helped me out. She gave me the rundown on some ingredients and let me sample a couple things. Showstopper was the giant slice of a baklava type cake. I had to try some of their cheese kanafa and I also got a couple of their other selections. The cheese kanafa is what won my heart over. The place I usually go to changed their type of cheese and I noticed it right away. You can tell how good the quality of the cheese is by the cheese stretch and the way it kinda melts when it hits your mouth. The lower quality cheeses are not as stretchy or don't stretch at all and have almost a bubble gum texture when chewing. Here, they have that cheesy, stringy, sweet flavor I'm always craving. Everything about their cheese kanafa was to die for and I highly recommend it. The other baklava selections I got were just as good. Definitely try the baklava with chocolate on it, it's hard not to like. What I really enjoyed about this place was that everything wasn't overly sweet. Some places drench their baklava in corn syrup and you could feel yourself getting a cavity. This place has gotten the sweetness level just right. The service, baklava and selection were all wonderful at this place. I will most definitely be back for that delicious cheese kanafa. read more

Really the best. Sweets. Variety. The people who serve are also super sweet. Not too sugary but very top quality food. During covid19 they have taken proper measures to make sure they serve top notch. read more

The Zinood is unmatched. They are warm, delicious and so fresh. Other desserts there are amazing too, but the Zinood is their specialty and I don't know any other place that makes it. We usually get a big platter to go, and keep it in the fridge because it's a drive for us. read more

I'm not an officianado but the Znod here blew my Mind. A Persian guy I know went out of his way to bring these to me when they were hot out of the oven and Hell Yeah is all I can say. Made me get the details and drove well out of my way to pick more up. They are the best fresh and warm but are still good heated up at low temp, careful not to burn the filo. The people are very nice too and they really know their stuff. Happen to be next to a tasty middle eastern restaurant too so you can balance your palate. read more

Ordered through Grub Hub. When I finally received my order, I fruit fly or a baby fly... had been schmoosing up on my desserts for the whole friggen drive which totally grossed me out. I ended up having to toss them out. Now Im so sad...as I was looking forward to tasting for the 1st time. Get rid of your flies Alhamdani :( read more

I live in Northern California and went to Alhamdani during my recent trip to San Diego. The place was recommended to me by others who live in San Diego. I bought sweets from there twice and was very delighted both times. Fabulous deserts, very hospitable staff, huge variety, very fresh sweets, great everything! I can't wait to go back to San Diego. read more

Hands down the best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern desserts baklava shop in Southern California if not the entire US. I discovered this place when a dear friend introduced me to the place in early June. And so far (2 months later) I have made the 3-hour drive (pilgrimage!) at least a half dozen times to get my fix of the goodies made at this shop. The baklava is not overly sweet, rather it's packed with flavorful fillings, pistachio, and other nuts. The shop also sells traditional and French cookies and other middle eastern desserts such as Kunafa which is best served out of the oven. Variety of sweet delights such as Lokum, Minalsama (from the heavens), bird's nest, Znoud Elsit, etc. All delicious and flavorful. Prices are very reasonable considering the shop uses the best ingredients. Owners are very hospitable and we highly recommend this place. read more
