TLDR; Golden Roastery is what dreams are made of if you love sweet, salty and caffeine. On a whim, while getting a car repair done we stopped into golden Roastery to kill time. Little did we know, we were about to discover an absolute GEM that all of Houston needs to know about. Let's start with the important things first... this place is family owned but they treated us truly like cousins. Iyad took his time to explain not only how Golden Roastery came to be but also each dish we tried and why they have it on their menu. We ended up trying so many AMAZING things we probably would have never eaten. The food and snacks - There are lines of amazing sweet salty and savory snacks. We got to a point where we were just grabbing stuff to try it because everything was so good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR FRESH NUTS AND KNAFEH NA'AMEH! It was like if sweet cornbread and cheesecake made a warm baby. Oh and also they have the viral Dubai chocolate in multiple forms! Drinks- They roast all of their own coffee beans and have multiple different drinks to choose from. I was incredibly excited to be able to watch them make Turkish Coffee using hot sand (a true art form). The interior was so clean and comfy, and such a great place to work from. They also said they are adding more cozy seating as well so I can't wait for that! I can't wait to go back, not just because everything was fantastic but because I don't think I've had better customer service from any place in Houston. read more

My wife and I have been wanting to try Kanafeh and I think we saw Golden Roastery on social media, so we decided to venture out to this side of town after our newborn's doctor appointment. We got there at around 1030 AM. The parking lot is big so you'll definitely find some parking there. As you walk in you'll notice the grocery store -like chocolate and nuts section, to your left is a dining area to hang out. The place is big and beautifully decorated. I was greeted with enthusiasm by the staff as I was about to order. We really came for the Kanafeh, but they said it's not usually ready till 11:30. I was a little sad, but the staff was so apologetic they gave me a discount on my purchase today and promised me a free slice next time I come back - super top notch customer service. Since we didn't get the kanafeh we got an assortment of Turkish delight and smoked cashew which were both really good. As I was checking out, I got to sample Arabic coffee that I'll definitely have to get next time - I liked it more than the espresso drinks I ordered. Overall kinda bummed about the kanafeh, but definitely can't wait to come back. Good people like this make you want to support them even more. Definitely check them out! read more

Plush interior design speckled with Arab bling check Beautiful, looking pastries and desserts such as Dubai, blah blah blah check Classic Arab hospitality behind the counter check And then I was served something they called the biscoff stuffed croissants. This turned out to be one of the worst pastries I've ever had in my life. It was clearly microwaved, and it took several minutes to tear apart between the three of us. I am done with fancy Arab dessert shops. never again means never again. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem local business that I'd love to see thrive. It's a cafe-store that creates an immersive experience for folks looking for Turkish culture. There's an intricate and beautiful display of Turkish ceramic tea sets along their front wall walking in. The pieces are well curated. Inside, there's a pastry aisle and sampling experience opportunity to try out their different types of Turkish delight. We tried there nestle, pomegranate, and pistachio-based Turkish Delights. They are quite enjoyable even on a small scale. The cream cheese baklava was okay. I think the cheese was a bit too rigid and I would have enjoyed a smoother and creamier feeling to contrast the brittle flaky outer texture of the pastry. The staff for more than happy to help you select for ones that you want to try out. They are all sold by weight so you can mix and match pieces without a problem! There's also plenty of seating off to the side if you want to sit down and enjoy a drink or ice cream from the store. read more

I had a great time here at Golden Roastery! The staff was wonderful where they had us trying their chocolates, coffee, pecans, and seeds. We had to try the kunafa, tres leche cake, Dubai chocolate bar and mint tea. I love the seating area there where we could eat our food and enjoy the ambiance here. I would definitely go back. read more

This place randomly came across my IG page showing the refreshing cold drink options. This lead me to take a look at their whole page, and I'm glad I did bcz OMG!!! I tagged my daughter and bestie in quite a few posts. My daughter couldn't wait to get off work the next day just to visit this place, and yes, even after 9pm. It was sooooo worth it too. It's a bright, refreshing, and calm welcoming vibe as soon as you step through the doors. My daughter tried the Mud Pot, which is a bold rich and brewed coffee, and I tried the Chai Karak with brown sugar and cinnamon. AMAZING!! We bought a few other items bcz how could you leave empty handed, LMAO! We're most definitely visiting again REAL SOON! read more

I stopped by Golden Roastery while waiting for a car repair and stumbled into one of my favorite places ever. They sell coffee, desserts, snacks, tea sets, herbs, assorted nuts, gelato, and more! And they do it all well, which is a delightful surprise. I was able to try kunafa and Turkish Delight here for the first time and it was fantastic! The kunafa was fresh, hot, and a perfect blend of sweet and salty. You order at the various counters around the store area, and can sit and wait for your food or enjoy your coffee at the seating area to the left of the store. They offer traditional Palestinian food, drinks, and snacks and also have specialty items like sand coffee and saffron. You can also get grocery items that are typically only available overseas like chips and bottled drinks. Iyad showed us all they had to offer after finding out we were newcomers and treated us like family. Everyone who works at Golden Roastery is nice and always willing to help you decide on items or answer a question. They will even let you try samples of items if you're not quite sure of what you're looking for. Whether you're looking for baklava or a latte, or looking to spend $5 or $500 Golden Roastery has something you'll want to buy. I have been telling all my friends about this place and can't wait to visit again! read more

We ended up here by mistake but it was meant to be. First of all as soon as you walk in, the beautiful aromas overwhelm you with joy. It smelled SO good. We took a minute to walk through the store and take everything in. We literally wanted to get everything. We ended up getting the pistachio latte with oat milk, the Dubai chocolate and strawberries, and some baklava. Everything is AMAZING. Some of the best coffee I've had and the Dubai chocolate cup is sooooo good. Rawan was of amazing service since we were so undecided, she was patient and kind and helpful. We will definitely be back! read more

This was our second visit to this establishment, and we've had a wonderful experience both times. The staff is extremely hospitable and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The chocolate is smooth and delicious. Keep in mind it is definitely on the sweeter side if you are more of a dark chocolate person (I personally am). We were even treated to a complimentary knafeh, which had a pleasantly mild and delectable flavor. The building is spacious, with a cozy atmosphere that invites relaxation. We chose to lounge on the couches as we chatted and enjoyed our Turkish coffee. The sand-heated coffee was a highlight--both delightful to watch as it heats up and rich in flavor. We highly recommend this spot and will definitely be returning! read more

The staff here are all so kind, helpful, and patient. We had so many questions and they answered them all with a smile. We went for the Dubai chocolate but had to sample so many other things. The place is mesmerizing with so many deserts to admire and tea pot sets. Must go! read more

It was predominantly chocolate and katafi more than anything. Barely tasted any pistachio filling. I would've loved to have an equal balance of everything so I can get a real taste of it. The presentation of it is nice though and if you have a sweet tooth this will do the trick with all the chocolate that's in it. read more

FINALLY trying out the Dubai Chocolate-Strawberry dessert!! It was good but TOOOO thick & rich for me!! (Love this place though sooo much goodies!! ) read more

Really neat grocery/cafe with lots of Arabic and Turkish goods. The staff are nice. They have an amazing selection of bulk spices and foods. Prices are fair. I ordered a chai, which was tasty, but pricey given how tiny of a cup you get. The cafe area is nice, with some lounging sofas. Only wish they had outlets for the public. read more

This place has the most BEAUTIFUL Turkish coffee sets for sale. I was also impressed with the selection of chocolate and Turkish Delight. Someone gave us a free sample of Turkish coffee and ended up purchasing a medium pot. There is a seating area where you can sit and drink your coffee. We will be back! This was a great experience and I am intrigued by their spice and smoothie offerings. read more

Visited their store yesterday on Cypress Creek Parkway for my first trip to Golden Roastery. WOW!! The Turkish Coffee was amazing, and the staff folks were so kind! Ro was the marvelous hostess who showed me around the store. I'll be bringing my wife in for coffee. It's a lovely shop. read more

Only tried the gelato here, and was not super impressed by the flavors or texture of the gelato. I felt that they were a bit icy compared to a typical gelato, and the flavors (lotus, pistachio, and mint) did not really stick out to me. It also was $5 per scoop of gelato compared to per cup size ($15 total for 3 scoops). The service and interior were nice and lively though! I worked potentially come back for other goods. read more

I was a little disappointed. I asked for extra strawberries but instead actually got less strawberries and they were cut into small pieces and not whole strawberries like advertised. The people there weren't too friendly either, they just look at you as if you're not a customer in their business, never even said hello or even acknowledged me as a new customer. I just stood there in silence until the younger person on the register finished and he proceeded to help me. I gave 2 stars because the person who did take my order was nice and more welcoming than the others . The cup I ordered was almost $20 and did not taste good, and also had way too much chocolate & way too little strawberries that were cut into small pieces (when they are advertised as whole strawberries, and I specifically asked for extra strawberries). Now, the pre packaged chocolate bar from turkey that i bought for $11.99 was indeed good. That I enjoyed. It's a bit pricey but tasted a lot better than that cup. Glad I chose that as well instead of just getting the $17.99 chocolate strawberry cup which was so bad I had to toss it (money down the drain). read more

The lotus bar and pistachio bar are amazing. The pistachio latte was pretty sweet but the coffee aroma was so good.

We were craving for some sweets past 11 and saw this place on the maps so we decided to try it out and man did we love it. We grabbed some of the chocolates, of course, and a dessert croissant. I was not sure of what I was expecting with the croissant, but that definitely satisfied the craving, surpassed any expectations I've had, and raised the bar for any dessert croissants I will have in the future! The warm croissant was freshly baked to perfection combined with freshly sliced fruits and drizzled with sweet syrups! Amazing! read more

The kindest, sweetest staff you could imagine. Turkish delight is now my new favorite candy after being generously given samples. These are the kindest people and the candy and coffee and gelato are just totally different from American versions. So much better! read more

Good coffee. Friendly people. I feel the pastries were spot on. Everyon was nice and helpful when it came to the questions I had. First time customer, so I had a few. I liked the vibe here and will come back. read more

Beautiful tea sets and very friendly service, you have time to look around without feeling harassed. And they're open to answer any questions! I got a rose and kiwi slushy, and my daughter and I got a few hundred mini chocolates with different fruits and even cheesecake in one of them! And we could NOT leave with getting our favorite biscoff bar I came once during a work break and I couldn't resist I had to return. read more

Such a delicious variety of desserts, candy and nuts. The Dubai croissant was spectacular! I also enjoyed the cardamom coffee. Service was also great! read more

Their desserts are delicious. The service is great and friendly. Great assortment of chocolates and candies.

The Dubai chocolate strawberries were the best ones I've had thus far in Houston, as far as portions but even they still leave room for improvement as far as how many strawberries they put lol I Stand beside the notion that these cups cost way too much but the place is nice and the service wasn't unsavory beyond my complaints. They also have some foreign potato chips and drinks just don't expect it to be cheap read more

Everything was amazing! So many options and it is so picturesque inside. Dubai chocolate, nuts, chai, snacks, candy this place has it all!

Golden roastery is officially one of my favorite places! It's the best cafe to work and meet friends!! I'm so glad I tried the viral chocolate bars here because the cookie butter variation is absolutely the best one I've tried so far!! Their coffees and desserts are all so amazing and fresh!! I love how they have a pistachio take on just about everything you can imagine. I love picking up their fresh desserts for any gathering or gifting. The service is fast and the servers are all so nice and knowledgeable. They answer all questions politely. Will definitely keep returning as long as they have the cookie butter kunafah bars. read more

Beautiful place with lots of nuts, coffee beverages, and many other snacks. This was my third time there as I wanted to take my parents to check it out. I find it a bit overpriced. I paid about $4.50 for a mediocre cappuccino. Before, I had had Yemeni chai. It was delicious, but a small amount cost more than $4. My Mom had some baklava, and my Dad purchased dried fruit. An employee who makes coffee and serves knafeh gave my mom a sample of the latter. My parents did enjoy it. I had tried it before and it's good. A slice will set you back $7. There are beautiful tea sets and serving platters. I highly recommend these for unique gifts. When we sat down, the napkin dispenser was empty, and the table needed cleaning. I wish they'd put scoops where they have the dried fruit. They have disposable gloves for you to put on and then grab the snacks with your gloved hand. I'm afraid unhygienic folks will just reach into the bins with their bare hand. read more

I love Golden Roastery's desserts and coffee. The staff is very friendly and courteous.

The prices at this place are ridiculous. I checked my credit card statement and I was charged $40 for 2 small chocolate bars and a 6 oz tea (see pic). I wasn't given a receipt or I would have taken it back once I saw the cost. I bought the packaged Dubai candy bar previously and I liked it. I went back and they didn't have the small square version, but they really pushed the Lotus flavor on me so I decided to buy it. It's okay. Not anything I would get again esp at the price I was charged. They told me to buy the la roche chocolate if I wanted the pistachio. Big mistake. It's disgusting and I hated it. It's barely a step up from Hershey's. In no way were any of these bars worth almost $20 each. The tea was also not very good. read more

The selection of spices, snacks, nuts, sweets is quite large and varied (relative to all of these being Middle eastern products). The baklava is delicious and the coffee with cardamom too. I will return for knafeh, if it as good as the baklava. The staff, owner, very friendly and helpful. He knows his products and treats you as if you are a guest in his home. On top of all this, the inside of the store is beautiful and well organized. I recommend coming here for gifts, coffee, and dessert. read more
