The baklava was out of this world! If you're a fan of baklava, you will love this place. The owners are very nice and welcoming. They have numerous types to choose from, but the traditional is my favorite. They also ship, which I haven't tried yet, but I've always gotten mine fresh and it's been amazing. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Kind, courteous, and welcoming, executive chef Selin Akkaya readily answered all of our questions, explaining that the Turkish people do not put honey in their baklava, something I'm traditionally used to. In all honesty, hers--sans the overpoweringly sweet honey--is much better. It is lightly sweet and permits the full flavor of the finely ground walnuts to shine through. Worry not, though, as delectable desserts are not the only specialty! Savory options / meals are also present. The ground beef borek was spectacular as was the cheese borek; both accompanied by a simple side salad of greens, grape(?) tomatoes, and a very light olive oil and balsamic. Cleansed my palate with their Ginger Snap juice (pineapple, ginger, green apple and lemon). read more

This place is like a hidden gem. Authentic Turkish café type. They have some sweets and some quick bites but so good. The borek was delicious! And the kunefe was surprisingly not too sweet, which I loved. They allow you to control how much you want to put. read more

If you're craving baklava, this is THE place to go. I got the carrot slice pistachio baklava and it was a 5 out of 5. So delicious, extremely moist from honey, strong flavors paired well with pistachio, and perfect flaky thin dough. I could eat multiple of this! They have other menu items that I plan on trying in the future, such as different types of baklava, breakfast items/pastries, and drinks. The layout is super clean and aesthetic. They have indoor seating, service is quick, and the staff are open to any questions. Great for brunch/lunch or sweet treat with friends. Also, they are open long hours so if you're craving baklava as an evening treat, go here. read more

Quiet bakery. Made fresh from a Turkish family. The baklava carrot slice was delicious! Perfectly sweet from the honey and great flavor with the pistachios, reminds me of the baklava back in the Balkans.

This bright shop was a spontaneous stop. I needed breakfast, something light. I ordered a Ginger Snap juice with pineapple, green apple and Ginger. I picked up some walnut baklava and a spinach borek, (spanakopita) for my sister. She raved about it! The young man at the counter was friendly and fast. I waited for my to go order at one of the handful of dining tables and studied the menu. The scent of butter and baked goods permeated the air. The coffee machine itself was a showstopper! read more

I tried four different flavors of baklava, including the Dubai Chocolate Baklava. Even though it was close to closing time and not very busy, the service was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I was given a taste of the pistachio cream, that is in the Dubai chocolate, on its own and I was instantly impressed. The Dubai Chocolate Baklava is a must-try. This was definitely one of the best desserts I have ever tried. The other baklava flavors were also excellent. You won't be disappointed with any of your choices of baklava here. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try any of the other food items, but I can confidently say that the desserts are an experience in themselves. The shop itself was charming, with neat little decorations throughout and even some small games for children. If you're in the area and enjoy baklava, you absolutely should not miss this place. read more

When you step into Blue Amphora, you are greeted with the most welcoming smile and wonderful smells of freshly made baklava. I have had a few baklavas before, but none compare to the ones here. I personally love the pistachio baklava, walnut baklava, and the Dubai chocolate baklava. Pairing it with a Turkish tea and youre in for a relaxing and happy time. Definitely a must do and must try in Orlando! I bring friends and family here almost monthly! read more

Best baklava I've ever had !! no exaggeration! It melts in your mouth, isn't overly sweet, and somehow makes you want another bite even when you're full. I just got back from Egypt on Friday night, and by Saturday morning the only thing I could think about was getting this baklava that day - that's how amazing it is The owners are Turkish, and it shows. I've been to Turkey, I'm Arab, and I've eaten baklava all over and nothing comes close to this. Absolutely exceptional. read more

If you are looking for an authentic experience, look no further than Blue Amphora. My wife and I had an incredible time here. She tried the Turkish coffee with sugar, which was perfectly balanced--strong flavor without being overwhelming. I opted for the Turkish coffee with ice cream; it was delicious, though I think I actually prefer the traditional coffee on its own! ​The food was the real showstopper. The Kunefe was fresh, warm, and thankfully not overly sweet. But the Baklava... I'm not normally a baklava person, but this place converted me. We tried the Pistachio with Nutella, plain Nutella, Pistachio, and Walnut versions. The Pistachio and Walnut were easily my favorites. ​The owners are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. We'll definitely be back and will be bringing all our coffee-loving friends! read more

The Baklavas were average. Not bad but nothing to write home about either. The owner/chef is too full of herself and talks with an air of arrogance. Confidence and pride in one's creation is certainly appreciated but not to the point of arrogance where one puts down other businesses to claim they're the best in the entire state. We have had better baklava at other places in Florida. We cannot, in good conscience, return to or recommend a business wherein the owner trash talks about other similar small businesses with negative racial/cultural undertones. That's unacceptable in our books. Aside from that, as mentioned earlier about the baked goods, her baklavas are okay. Two stars for those. read more

One of the best places I've ever been to hands down!!. The lovely gentleman behind the counter had the best customer service and was super sweet and helpful. As well as the man who actually owns the place was also very kind. The place inside is beautiful and well decorated. Ordered a lot of stuff and everything was hands down delicious. What I came here for was the Dubai chocolate pistachio cup with strawberries. This is an authentic spot and it was delicious I'd definitely come again. Nothing can compare or top this place. And the pricing is also very good for the amount you are getting read more

My friends surprised me for my birthday with a stop at Blue Amphora! We looked over the yummy baklava cases and then decided to stay and have lunch. Our paninis were so HOT off the press with delicious flavors and the best pomegranate & raspberry hot tea, all perfect for a cool day in Orlando. The service was beyond 10 , the friendliest people I have met in a business ever. They even surprised us with a delightful dessert for my birthday to share. We all got baklava to go, so glad, because it is just the right texture of crisp and sweet, both the walnut and pistachio varieties. I also got a piece of Pistachio ricotta cake. To make our visit feel even more appreciated by the business, we were given goodbyes in the parking lot by hugs from the owner. This is what makes a good business great. Snagged a forkful when I got home. It was like eating air light flavorful whipped cream. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the great experience. And THANK YOU Diane and Mary Ellen for the surprise stop and lunch read more

This is probably the best baklava in Orlando if not Florida. All the flavors are fantastic. Yummy!

The knafeh trays were delicious and made authentically! We got 3 for Christmas and heated them up ourselves, and everyone loved it. It came with the syrup, and usually comes with crushed pistachios on top but we asked for it without due to a relative's allergies. The owner Selin was so sweet and accommodating as well. read more

Cute little cafe with assorted baklava and cake slices. Ordered the Dubai chocolate baklava and it was phenomenal. Gooey layers filled with honey, chocolate and pistachios on top of a pistachio cream feathered with kaitifi and pistachios dust. If the pistachio and walnut baklava, that we picked up, are anything like it I am officially hooked. Can't wait to go back and try more of their variety and cake slices. Their savory menu is also inviting read more

I stumbled on Blue Amphora and it was quite the best thing ever! It is a small cafe, clean and bright. They have a few savory breakfast/lunch/snack options but the star is their baklava. It was simply AMAZING, rich, flaky, crispy, crunchy in all the best ways. It was midday and not busy but the quality of their products are *chefs kiss* and the owners are so sweet, they had me taste quite a few varieties and I cannot wait to be back. Turkish tea was also very good. read more

A hidden gem indeed - with all the construction happening around goldenrod, you'll definitely have to search for this place. They've only been open for 3 months but wow does it feel like I walked straight into a family members house with my favorite food made waiting just for me. I had the pleasure of meeting the exec chef - Selin, and she shared her passion for food and sharing it with the rest community of Orlando. The staff were incredibly sweet and the hospitality was unmatched. I felt right at home with their warm welcome. Upon first glance - I couldn't decide what I wanted because everything looked SO good. Their food is made fresh each day including their juices and the gentleman behind the counter gave great recommendations and explanations. I of course need to go back and try everything! Ok now the part you're dying to know - how was it? I mean I could give this place 5 stars for the service alone but the baklava here had me drooling as I crunched into my first bite. It was so crispy, so sweet and sooo good. Selin shared they make their ghee in house so all their products are truly house made - it made it EVEN better!!! I bought 16 pieces assorted and every single one was better than the previous, I couldn't pick a favorite! If you're looking for a sweet treat and love to support small businesses, I 12/10 recommend visiting this place. Be careful though, it's really difficult to stop at just a few pieces..... read more

Amazing desserts and delights! Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon to grab some desserts for my family and we were all so happy that I did. The Baklava was so delicious. We also took home some cakes. We took the marble, lemon, and cinnamon. My favorite was the cinnamon. We brought home some kunafa for the family and it did not disappoint. We also tried some savory pastries which I cannot remember the name, one was stuffed with feta, the other with spinach and feta. Both were great. The store is nice with a couple of tables to sit and enjoy dine in. They offer some coffee options to enjoy. They service was amazing. The owner was there helping us explaining everything and you could feel the love that she poured in to the food. This will be a regular stop for us. read more

First thing is the service is top notch. I walked in and was greeted by the sweetest lady who explained all the desserts. I picked out a variety of baklava and a sandwich to go. No pictures because I ate it all. So good. They make it fresh every day and it is noticeable. Most restaurants ship in the baklava from Tarpon Springs but not this one. The taste was amazing. Authentic and proud of their food so get over there and fill up. I'll be back a lot! Did I mention is was impeccably clean too! read more

Everything is so delicious from the sandwiches to the incredible baklava. It's the real thing, not the dried out stuff in diners.

I was browsing through Yelp for places to take my mom and grandma to, and I found this gem! The owner and her husband are such kind people and you can tell they love what they do. Don't let the plaza fool you. The place is quiet and peaceful with an almost sunny environment. Great place to stop and relax. As we were talking, the owner mentioned they ship to the entire US! We tried the savory potato and savory spinach borek. Both were incredibly tasty with a flakey outside. I liked the little cheese borek squares as well! When heated up they practically melt. The pistachio baklava was fragrant and well-balanced in flavor, not overly sweet like the packaged ones would be. My grandmother couldn't stop eating them! The caramel and pistachio macarons were soft and packed with flavor for their little size. (I'll be getting them again.) My mom compared them to the authentic Turkish pastries her friends would make, which is always a good thing. With the lovely service and outstanding food, I'll absolutely become a regular here! read more
