Breakfast here was incredibly fresh and delicious. They serve a traditional Turkish-style cheese pastry that was absolutely amazing, and the olives tasted so fresh and high quality. I especially loved the muhammara dip -- so flavorful and perfectly balanced. The simit was clearly freshly baked earlier that day, warm and soft with the perfect texture. Their kaymak was honestly to die for, though I wish they served a larger portion because it was that good. The menemen tasted very traditional, with a creamy texture and rich tomato flavor. The highlight for me was definitely the basturma with eggs -- incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. The baklava was also delicious, and my husband really enjoyed the Turkish coffee. I ordered a latte, and it was surprisingly excellent as well. Overall, everything felt authentic, fresh, and made with a lot of care. read more

They say that the best börek (in particular su böreği) is often made by a baklavacı. After all, it's the same yufka that's used in both sweet and savory applications. Indeed, the kol böreği was the best thing we tried at Baklava Home's new Edgewater outlet, which is more oriented towards kahvaltı and savory items that the Paterson original. We also tried the mıhlama, which is one of my favorite dishes and very hard to find in the States - it was good, but should have been served a bit hotter before the cheese and polenta coagulated. The menemen was good. It's a bit of a schlep from the city, but still one of the better options for New Yorkers seeking Türk kahvaltı. read more

3/5: Amazing Service and Cool Vibes, but the Baklava Missed the Mark The highlights here are definitely the staff and the atmosphere! The service was incredibly friendly and patient while I asked a million questions. You actually have to ask a lot of questions because there are no signs out explaining what the desserts are (besides baklava, they had a lot of cheesecakes, puddings, and rice pudding on display). Another super cool feature is the building itself--they have a side window that opens up, and part of the roof actually opens up too, which we got to watch live! While my friends absolutely loved their coffee drinks, the food was a bit let down for me. I ordered the baklava, but the pastry was soggy instead of crispy. I've had baklava elsewhere that sits out on display but still retains its crunch, so this fell short. Overall, it's a neat spot with great service, but the signature dessert could be improved. read more

So happy we finally tried Baklava Home!! We were so pleasantly surprised by the array of choices of pastries, baked goods, breakfast options, drinks, etc. Being our first time, we ordered everything! Our favorites being the menemen and simit w soujoukh . You order at the counter and get a number where they then bring your items when ready. Everything is made fresh to your order and the space has a lot or comfortable seating. Will be back for sweets next! read more

It was our first time there and we were welcomed very kindly. We wanted to taste their specialties and ordered the Baklava Home Breakfast for 2 which includes 2 Turkish Teas. It was tasty ti go back & forth between savory and sweet. The space is bright, airy and clean - it was a sunny day that we could enjoy through the large windows. Parking is easy & ample. Service was quick and it was all delicious! Can't wait to return & try other Turkish healthy goodies! read more

I am usually too lazy to get up out of bed for breakfast on a Saturday, but something told me to do it. What a great first impression - friendly service and spacious area with a lot of light. When you walk in, you order and pay first. They will give you an number place holder. You can choose where you want to sit. I ordered: Breakfast Plate: 10/10 - fresh salad, good amount of cheese, and a honey with butter dip; comes with a basket of bread Simit & Egg Pan: 10/10 - my favorite! They place an egg with mushrooms and sujuk (a type of sausage) in the middle of the simit, and melt the mozarella cheese over it. So tasty and decadant (I shared half with my partner). Comes with a small side salad. Iced Salted Caramel Latte: 10/10 - one of the best lattes I've had. Comes in a to-go cup, which is very convenient. I'm so excited this is in the neighborhood, and look forward to visiting again. read more

This place is a GEM. Truly the most incredible oatmeal I've ever had, I couldn't get enough of it and even got one to go. Everything about it - both the flavor and textures exceeded my expectations. The Mediterranean breakfast plate was also delicious - the acuka paste paired with the labneh really elevates the dish. The cafe is really cute and there's waited staff as well if you want to sit but you can also grab n go! read more

We have visited this branch many times before, but this last experience was truly unacceptable. When we walked in, we waited near the entrance and pastry section, yet no employee greeted us, explained that it was self-service, or gave any information about how ordering worked. There was also no visible sign explaining the system. After sitting down, we waited around 10 minutes while nearby tables were repeatedly served, but nobody said a single word to us. When we asked about the situation and mentioned that we had previously been served at the table before, the staff's attitude became extremely rude and dismissive. We were told, "I guess someone gave you special treatment before." While I was trying to explain the situation, I was constantly interrupted and told to "stop making excuses." On top of that, during the conversation, the male employee said, "If you want, I can pull up the security cameras and show you how you walked in," in a very aggressive and unnecessary tone. That response was extremely disrespectful and clearly implied that the customer was lying. The issue is not the self-service system. The issue is the communication, attitude, and the way customers are treated. We have visited the Paterson location many times and never experienced anything even close to this behavior. I truly hope the owners take this review seriously and check the security camera footage from Wednesday, May 20, around 12 PM, to see how customers are being spoken to at this location. Definitely not a branch we will return to. read more

I had breakfast here for the first time, decided to give it a try from mostly positive reviews... um, I had the simit & egg pan with iced latte... the pictures do not help with actual experience unfortunately. The eggs were under cooked to the point a portion of this pan had raw egg whites. That I didn't eat, since I was afraid of semolina. I asked the chef/cook about this dish and if the eggs are supposed to runny or raw. I know it should be served slightly runny eggs but not raw! Anyway, he agreed with me that mine looked raw. I left that portion to the side to show the staff. I left this place with a smile and said I hope I don't get sick... fingers crossed... just be weary when you go here. I don't think I'll be back until they have proper food preparation. This place is not that exciting except it's just newly opened. read more

Excellent food, sweet people, warm atmosphere. Order at counter place. Quinoa salad is delicious balanced blend of flavors, lovely dressing. Mint tea is particularly good as is the coffee. Pastry looks very good, but sadly I've sworn off sweets. I opt for sour dough, no suffering there! read more

Service good, place was clean. However they are a little too expensive. The baklava was delicious but the nut filling was a bit mushy and could have been.... More-full- of nuts. The rice pudding was also very good but again way too expensive. Always good to try new places. read more

Welcome addition to the neighborhood! Really solid place to for Turkish tea, Turkish bakery and generally to chill. They are open late! (Well for Edgewater) read more

It's a cozy place. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing with friends or family. I tried their Turkish tea and künefe -- both were absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. Next time, I definitely want to try their breakfast menu. This is a perfect spot if you're looking for a charming local cafe with amazing treats! read more

Good stuff. However, twice now I have asked for sugar in my Turkish coffee and they did not put it in. This sucks because to add sugar you need to stir the coffee, which disturbs the mud on the bottom. I'll give them one more chance, maybe. The pastries are delicious. read more

Soggy baklava. Coffee and tea is good. But they do have many other things to try. I was hoping the baklava was like some spots in patterson nj. read more
