    Turkish
    Rachel N.

    Had my first Turkish Baklava! And the place is such a vibe. It looks like the best place to get a coffee and relax with friends. Although, seating is minimal. 10/10 experience. The Turkish Baklava was the opposite of stale. Glazed perfectly. Each bite was like heaven. If you need a sweet treat, try this place out!

    I'm not typically a baklava fan but this Turkish baklava may have me convinced!! Sweeter than the other types I've had but not excessively sweet. Also it's a good place to try Turkish coffee if you've never had it. Wide variety to choose from and the employee was very knowledgeable about the treats offered.

    I had the tea and walnut danish. This was my first time visiting an establishment like this and it was a unique experience. The tea was great and the walnut great I had was enjoyable also. The service was great. The ambiance is authentic and clean. I'd stop by back to enjoy the chill vibes and tea!

    Excellent place to take a break at the Circle and enjoy some sweets. Patio tables available for people watching.

    The music in the store was very hype and feels like eating sweets in a club. Counter guy very friendly and you choose flavor nd he cut for you. They sold out of items but a lot of others to choose from. There is sand coffee station and upstairs we didnt get to explore, plenty of table seating and nice lamps decors.

    This shop is incredibly interesting as I hadn't been to a Turkish shop before. The establishment had a wide variety of desserts, pastries, coffees and tea. We tried a variety of Turkish desserts and wound up purchasing a few pounds total. They were delicious but I have to say, the price point is steep. Buyer beware. It cost us about $120 total which is a bit outrageous. Cute shop and super friendly staff at counter.

    Was walking around St. Armand's Circle and found this little spot, as a coffee lover I couldn't resist the urge to have Turkish coffee. The place and ambiance were awesome! I felt like I had traveled to Turkey or as if I were in a movie set. The staff were very welcoming and friendly with my wife and daughter. One of them even took some time to talk to my daughter and in Spanish!! I had a coffee and a triangular shaped baklava full of pistachios. The coffee was lightly strong yet smooth...very delicious. The baklava was out of this world, not too sweet. Perfect balance with the coffee. I will be returning before I leave to my city!

    The actual weight of the item. They charged me for 6 oz

    Just left this place. I bought one piece of chocolate baklava, a Turkish coffee and "6 oz" of Turkish candy. It was the apple something. There was one small piece left. He weighed it and charged me for 6 oz. Which is $15. Our bill came out to be $33. I tipped 15%.. I had this weird inkling that it wasn't 6oz. It was a small piece So for the principle I went home and weighed it on my food scale. It isn't even 5 1/2 oz. It is 5 1/4 oz. You guys owe me money. I knew it! I'm so upset that we just bought stuff there last week. So we came back. Unbelievable. Don't go if you like honesty and integrity in a business. Stupid to do with all the social media avenues. It's not the money. It's the principle.

    Great little store. There are lots of options for turkish and Arabic style sweets. Baklava and turkish coffee was what I wanted and they were on point. Coffee was freshly brewed and it was perfect. The Baklava also just as expected... sweet and crunchy. The owner is super friendly and ready to help you pick from all the delicious delicacies he serves. Also great are the coffee cups and turkish coffee makers style pots. Awesome service and even better coffee .

    Turkish coffee 12/8/2021
    Rachel S.

    My husband and I stopped in for Turkish coffee on 12/8/2021. I always want to try the Turkish delight but for some reason, these Turkish places in high end tourist destinations charge like $30/lb for it, making it totally overpriced. There is no way they're selling enough that the food is fresh at those prices. My husband and I each got a Turkish coffee and we wanted to sit and have a quiet chat over our drinks after a long day. Unfortunately the owner at the cash register was sitting on his phone BLASTING either a movie or a game without headphones and it was super distracting. We finished up our drinks quickly and left. Would be better if the prices weren't outrageous for Turkish delight and the owner would use headphones if he's going to play on his phone.

    Just... wow! Bear with me through this long review, but it deserves every single praise it's given!…read more Once you step through the door of this magical hideaway, you'll find yourself transported to a realm where time slows, and every sip of tea feels like a gentle whisper from an old, beloved storybook. The moment you enter, you are embraced by a cascade of twinkling fairy lights that shimmer like stardust against a twilight sky. Fresh flowers bloom in every corner, their sweet fragrance mingling with the comforting aroma of steeping tea and freshly baked cakes. The menu is a delightful symphony of flavors, with each dish crafted as if by fairy hands. The tea sandwiches are dainty yet satisfying, their ingredients so fresh they seem to have been gathered from a mystical garden just moments before. The salads are vibrant and bursting with life, each leaf and garnish adding to the overall tapestry of flavors. And, of course, the cakes! The cakes are tiny works of art, each bite a burst of sweetness that leaves you floating on clouds of pure bliss. Even the soups, served in charming little teacups, are more than just a meal--they are comfort and warmth, a gentle embrace on a slow afternoon. Each spoonful is like a chapter in a story you never want to end. In this enchanting restaurant, you don't just dine--you dream. Every moment here feels like a stolen piece of a fairy tale, and you'll find yourself lingering, not wanting to break the spell. Whether you come alone to sip tea and read by the soft glow of the fairy lights or with friends to share laughter over a tray of delicate sandwiches, you'll leave with your heart a little lighter and your spirit a little brighter. To say that the owner of this enchanting establishment is just as magical as the place she's created would be an understatement. Kathryn is the heart and soul of this fairy-tale haven, a living embodiment of the kindness and beauty that fills every corner of her restaurant. Her presence is like a gentle breeze, warm and soothing, making everyone who walks through the door feel instantly at home. Her generosity is evident not just in the thoughtful touches that make each visit special--like the fresh flowers that greet you at every table or the extra care taken to ensure each dish is perfect--but in the way she treats each guest like an old friend. There's a sweetness in her smile that makes you feel as though you've known her for years, and a gentle warmth in her words that wraps around you like a comforting blanket. She moves with a quiet grace, always attentive, yet never intrusive. Whether she's offering a kind word, making sure your tea is just right, or sharing a delightful story, she does so with a lightness that leaves you feeling cherished and cared for. It's clear that this restaurant is more than just a business to her--it's a labor of love, a place where she pours her heart into every detail. In a world that often feels rushed and impersonal, the owner's presence is a reminder of the beauty of kindness and the power of a generous spirit. She has created not just a restaurant, but a sanctuary--a place where time slows down, and you can savor not just the food, but the warmth of human connection. To dine here is to be touched by her sweetness, and to leave with your heart a little fuller, your day a little brighter. Thank you, Kathryn, for creating such a beautiful safe haven for all who enter. As long as this establishment is standing, I will be there in attendance.

We were helped by someone I believe was named Julie or Julia (I'm not great with names), and we ended up chatting a bit because she used to live in New York too. She was so warm with the kids and let us sample just about every flavor, which made the whole experience feel really personal. The ice cream itself is fantastic--creative flavors, but also genuinely delicious. You can taste the homemade quality in every bite. I had coconut and dark chocolate, the kids had vanilla, dark chocolate, and watermelon mint, and my husband also really enjoyed his choices (though I can't remember exactly what he picked). Overall, it was just a really pleasant stop with great ice cream and exceptional service. It's also right next to Origin Pizza, which is another spot we'd definitely recommend.

Actually, just get there early anyway because the pastry items are fresher/better. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I typically skip trying to park next to it and just go to the garage and walk over. The service is more attentive than a typical French cafe overseas but not as on top of you as a typical place in the US. You can definitely order at the counter in French if you want to and I've had a waiter there flip between English, French, Spanish, and another language (maybe Romanian?) in one order. The sandwiches I've had were all lovely, and had a little side salad that could benefit from a better dressing (they serve an okay vinaigrette though). I've yet to encounter a single bad pastry - the elcairs, mousse cakes, and flaky pastries like chausson pommes are on par with the typical boulangerie/pattisserie in France and don't make me think US adaptation at all.
