Holy DIABETIES!!…read more Absolute 5 ***** for the desserts. Overall experience 4 **** The place was a bit rough. Hafiz Mustafa 1864 is a dessert shop / chain all over Turkey, Istanbul at least. This location was packed, very popular I suppose. There was no seating available downstairs or outside when we stopped by... which was around 10:00 PM! This place was highly recommended by da wahine's co worker and the cover pic of the Saffron Tres Leches was absolutely calling out to me. So we put in the extra effort to try something from here. Luckily we were able to secure a small table upstairs close to the AC...cause it was an oven up there! The staff were running around like chickens, since the place was super busy. Had to flag down our waitress for everything; get a menu, place our order and the check. She even brought us a wrong item, but rectified it quickly. #Sugar: ~ Saffron Tres Leches - 5/5 As mentioned earlier, the cover pic of the Saffron Tres Leches absolutely called out to me... can't say I was disappointing. Actually I was thrilled to answer the call...lol. Super moist, creamy and really tasty! "Topped with saffron, tender, and moist, drenched in a perfect combination of cow, goat, and buffalo milk that will tantalize your taste buds. This exquisite tres leches is served floating in its milky sauce, and to add an extra layer of delicate, it is topped with saffron." - https://www.hafizmustafa.com/en/muhallebi The Saffron gives it a very unique flavor. Just get it. We don't have anything comparable stateside. ~ Âlâ Tres Leches - 6/5 Dayumn!!! I came here for the Saffron Tres Leches, but ended up loving iÂlâ Tres Leches more! DELISH! Not too sweet, with a rich Pistachio flavor. "Âlâ Tres Leches is a rich, signature milk cake variation famously served by the confectionary brand Hafiz Mustafa 1864, featuring a delicate sponge soaked in a unique blend of cow, goat, and buffalo milk, then finished with a special "âlâ" sauce and crushed pistachios" - https://hm1864.ae/shop/puddings/saffron-tres-leches/ - 1000% ACCURATE My sincere commiseration, if you have a nut allergy. This was the BEST dessert I had the whole trip... Absolutely amazing! Even the tiny Turkish delight we got with the Tea at the end was top notch! I highly recommend stopping by any Hafiz Mustafa 1864 if you get a chance...

This visit was fairly straightforward. A number of times, my guy has bought me a couple of almond cookies, either after work on this trip that we took together, or when he comes home after visiting Istanbul. It's funny, but he has never asked me whether I like almond cookies. Luckily, I do. We travelled to this bakery one evening. I figured out the Turkish name of these cookies and took a photo. I also looked at the other baked goods available. I loved looking at the coconut macaroons. There was a gingerbread house that looked like a lot of care was taken to assemble it. I also admired the macarons available. I got more almond cookies. They are big, yummy, and not all that sweet. You do need to wash them down with a beverage, as they aren't exceedingly moist. Folks here were accommodating and friendly to a couple of non-Turkish folks. I do miss those almond cookies. I would love to head back here again. (69)

All homemade cookies, Turkish treats, ice creams, almond marzipan, and candies at this shop. There is a cute little place to sit in a mini open courtyard thru the back of the store. This was treat I'll never forget in my entire life! The dish is made up of Ice cream, melting warm caramel, candied toasted nuts, and a ganache like chocolate sauce. Everything in this place is top drawer quality sweets!
