Oh yum, I have been meaning to try this place out and finally did this past rainy Monday. It was 5 PM and I was playing hooky from work all day. Before transitioning back into adult life I decided to hit up this cafe. Between myself and a friend I had the cherry filled baklava, milk pudding, and sugar free baklava with a cup of Turkish tea. Everything was delicious and I got some cherry filled baklava to take home. Beside desserts they also had some savory offering in a side case. read more

Gulluoglu Baklava & Cafe - Milk pudding, sugar free baklava, cherry filled baklava - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Had some Turkish coffee and chocolate cake here. The cake was average but the coffee was good. Not much going on here but they did have a big baklava selection, a few cakes, and a few other baked goods. read more

Great pastries but expensive and bad customer service. Person who helped me was very impatient and abrupt when I asked what filling were in certain pastries etc and when bagged, no napkins etc. I thought she was having a bad day which happens until she was polite to the next customer who was Russian. I am not Russian. Would liked to keep going there but I work to hard to be spending my money for this attitude. It was not busy when I went there. read more

A tiny many treats for the cravings of a sweet tooth. As the reviews go on and on about pistachio baklava, you can take it for the rattle about it. It is delicious ! And try the hazelnut baklava with milk. So soft! Best to be had in the cafe. When you take it home, the experience and flavor are lost somewhere. read more

Gulluoglu Baklava & Cafe - Baklava! - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Went there for breakfast, and were really disappointed. We ordered menemen, and it neither looked nor tasted like one! It was an omelette with garlic and a bunch of weird ingredients that were not supposed to be in the dish. It tasted bad too! We returned it, but they still made us pay for it. Never going there again! read more

Walked in and had to wait a couple of minutes to be assisted but then it's a busy cafe, so it wasn't surprising or a minus. As soon as the lady was able to help me, she was so nice! We ordered and sat down. We ordered a borek (plain), borek (potato), and I wanted the olive acma but they only had the plain one, so I got that too. Mama and I went together and shared those. We also got 2 Turkish tea. The food was actually really good; honestly, I wasn't expecting it to be that good. The lady served us as we sat. When I say she was super friendly, I mean SUPER friendly. I had to put on eye drops and my mother was telling me to 'just do it, it's not that hard', she overheard our conversation and joined in. We had a great breakfast this morning and the sweet lady made it all the better. I definitely recommend the food and the service. read more

Enjoyed being able to buy one piece of little baklavas as a tasing plate. Our server, a young man, was very nice. Coffee was good. Don't put any sugar in it as the desserts are all sweet! read more

I loved this place .The staff is excellent . Its great place to get cup of coffee 'and great food . I go about 5 x a week . They treat me as part of the family's read more

sour cherry baklava! turkish coffee! This is my new addiction....I can't seem to resist this everytime I am in the neighborhood, and I thank my fellow yelpers for turning me onto this spot. I also really enjoyed the spinach bureka. It doesn't have cheese, which is a plus in my book, since I'm limiting the dairy these days. But it also doesn't need it, because the spinach has a little bit of spice and a lot of flavor, and the pastry itself is delectably flaky. I'm looking forward to trying the simit (the thin bagel). Beware that the turkish coffee is good, but the other coffee drinks seem to be Nescafe and are nothing special. read more

Breakfast pastries are great. Desserts, not so great. Actually, they are really bad. We bought a cake from here multiple times, both mini and big sizes and they are always so dry and stale, like its been sitting on the shelf for a long time. Even when we ask yhe counterperson, she says they are fresh, but its a lie. We usually buy the pistachio and/or raspberry but they are both always too dry. Otherwise, breakfast pastries like borek, acma, pogaca are delicious. Plenty of seating. read more

Gulluoglu Baklava & Cafe - Dry and stale cake, waste of $24! Do not buy cakes from here - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great, new place. Cutely decorated inside. Usually not crowded and quiet... Which is delightful. I love their coffee and their baklava!! Amazing! Keep it up! read more

I used to go to school around Brighton Beach so all my friends are russian. They introduced me to the world of Baklava. First time i came here, i ordered baklava to go. I enjoyed it but my family says its way too sweet. I felt it was the perfect combination of nutty and sweet even though I'm not a big fan of nuts. The second time I came, we had brunch. We ordered tea and some pastry. My beef puff tasted so dry. I couldn't finish it. I should have gotten the veggie one. There was not a lot of things on their menu. Actually this place doesn't even have physical menus. But the store did have cute little cakes on display. read more

What a nice cafe+bakery! I happened to be in the neighborhood and this place totally made my day. Good coffee, excellent savory pastries, pleasant seating area. read more

This is a top of the line Turkish Bakery & Cafe that is part of a line of the finest bakeries in Turkey. In fact their lineage goes back to 1871 but luckily their baklava and boreks are a whole lot younger! The owner had opened to great reviews on Coney Island Avenue a few years ago but he has since relocated and made the new cafe more affordable without compromising the quality. You can sit and have Turkish baked goods and Turkish coffee or you can do what I did and get it to go and sit on the boardwalk while you eat (but if you do, be aware that the gulls and pigeons may want to share your treats with you!). The cafe is small but attractive and the people who work here are very nice. A definite on your list of places to visit when you end up in Brighton Beach one day! read more

I love this place! Conveniently located in the center of my neighborhood, Brighton Beach. I absolutely LOVE the cakes!! The little cakes are so delicious, perfectly sized, and reasonably priced. The quality is top notch for sure. This place really feels as if you are in Europe (like much of Brighton Beach), and the service is very good. The ladies behind the counter have always been very courteous and friendly. Last but not least, the food is very good too. The round spinach pie & the lasagna are both delicious. I usually get the food to take away, however the atmosphere in there is very laid back. I am sure this new addition to Brighton Beach has been doing well, because it adds a nice new element to the neighborhood! read more

Reminded me of being inside a sweet shop in Istanbul (but less pudding!) Tiny shop- I stopped in on a winter weekend in the late afternoon and was able to get a table to have a cup of coffee and baklava while I read a book, but I imagine that space is harder to come by during more regular hours. Great selection of baklava, each piece about $1. Pistachio was some of the best I've had in the US. Coffee dark and strong. I'll be back. read more

Many choices of Baklava, very friendly staff, and delicious Turkish coffee. The bathrooms were a little gross and missing toilet paper. Plus customers were in there without masks and the busy workers couldn't regulate, otherwise it would have been 5 stars. Still not sure what a Turkish cafe is doing in a Russian neighborhood, but if you want a quick coffee and sweet bite this is the place to go! read more

This place could invest into better coffee and things like liquid syrup. I think everyone would ok to pay 50 cents extra an actually enjoy a coffee full of aroma, instead you're getting this big cup of hot milk. read more

Great Baklava and Tea. Always ordered to go but the baklava is delicious. They have many different flavor options and all taste absolutely amazing. If you are looking for good baklava this is your spot. read more

I ordered from the store to make a present to my friends. Selected 2 days UPS delivery. I needed it to get exactly in 2 days as I was leaving the city for holidays. When the order was confirmed, I asked the customer service whether it will come before I leave as otherwise I need to change the delivery address. They said no and send the new address, which I did immediately. And said that otherwise I have to cancel it. I was ignored. Despite my requests on change/cancellation the order was sent to my old address and thus spoiled. I neither got a response nor refund from the company. Very disappointed, will never order anything from here. read more

Just went in here with a friend. HORRIBLE service. Rude, slow waiters. Place had 4 tables, 2 servers - it took them 20 min to finally come over. Then, my friend asked for a second tea - she never got it. Please either hire someone who can perhaps walk faster, smile, AND memorize an order at the same time. Too much to ask? Or, here's another option - get rid of the waiters, have 2 cashiers, and have customers to serve themself. Other positive reviews are obviously written by biased parties. read more

I seriously love this little cafe! I really like their breakfast options And really all of their delicious food. I love looking at variety of sandwiches and pizza and soda or some other countries I like options so this is great. The coffee is really good as well as the teas and this place makes fresh green smoothies. In the past I've purchased a cake. The cake was Amazing and anyone enjoyed it. The prices are just right. This cafe is next door to a Starbucks and a popeye's as well as a Dunkin donuts and a Walgreens. There are several little shops near this place as well. I've been coming here for the past 3 years and I will continue to come back because of the service the workers are and really nice people and I enjoy them I will be back ! read more

Visiting Coney Island, we wanted to get off the boardwalk and see what authentic food was around and came here for lunch. We don't eat a lot of Turkish food but found most everything tasty, particularly the gul boregi (potato, meat, and spinach) but the su boregi feta was not as flavorful as we expected. We also tried a selection of sweets with the baklava (sour cherry, ozel, walnut/pistachio). All the tables were full when we ordered but luckily one opened up by the time our food was ready for us. Service was okay. Prices were good but be aware that they add a service charge to the bill. read more

I was at the point on Monday Got 3 kind of borek and tea All was great I got 2 lb of mix dessert They were all great Clean place The only thing is bother me a lot they don't have bathroom " where the hell they poop" ? You can't even wash your hand in there How the hell city give permit to open store How the hell they pass the health inspection ? I did want to wash my hand they say you cannot here is paper tissue refreshing towel. That's not good. read more

Delicious.. moist..and really tasty baklava! . Lady behind the counter wasn't friendly... but the baklava made up for it. Has place to sit inside... as well as take out. read more

Best Turkish coffee and tea, yummy baklava and meat/spinach pastries. Service can be gruff but they're efficient and warm up the pastries for you if requested. One of my favorite spots to get a snack before I hit the beach. read more

Excellent local place. Authentic baklava and turkish tea. Friendly staff. Will return. read more

Gulluoglu Baklava & Cafe - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Awesome baklava. I love that they have a reduced sugar baklava as well as walnut and pistachio varieties. I have yet to try anytning but baklava but everytning looks delicious. Place is spacious and clean. I took off two stars because even though I come here a lot the older woman is quite rude and acts like she is doing me a favor by letting me buy baklava here. If you ask her for a price on something she responds very annoyed but she talks to the other workers just fine. Just when she talks to me she acts like I'm somehow annoying her by being in the store. It's very off putting. read more

Their deserts are very fresh and very flavorful. Melt in your mouth worth 5 stars. However i give them three because of their portions sizes. Everything is bite size literally. Even their coffee is literally 2 sips. read more

Gulluoglu Baklava & Cafe - Chocolate baklava, very good but bite size. Cherry phillo rollnot good. And the kadayif was really good too - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Clean, bright, and airy bakery cafe with a mouthwatering array of Turkish desserts and breads. We loved the meringues, Turkish bagel, and made-to-order coffees. Very charming. read more

I used to go to the Coney Island location, especially for take out of baklavas and other fine turkish goodies. When they moved to Brighton, we stopped in for a sit down. It felt very cramped. One of the large tables was taken up by 2 turkish guys, one of whom might have been the manager or owner, another table had a few russian guys who seemed to be living there. Service was fine but the check had an error and they did not want to correct it until I insisted ("this is how it comes up on the computer" was the excuse). I had noticed the on the menu a note about 18% surcharge on prices for table service. When we got the check, I asked if tip was included since this 18% was there and no tax was applied to it. They did not like the question. I did not leave an additional tip. Did I stiff the server? Maybe. Were they trying to stiff me? I felt like they were. Why this review is filtered, I can't tell! read more

Terrible service ...and that's putting it lightly !!! The older woman at the store is just plain rude ....never going back there again !!!! Avoid this place like the plague read more

I can't really speak to the cafe experience since I've been there to sit and drink a coffee only once. But this is by far THE BEST lokum aka Turkish delight that I have had in NYC. It beats the hell out of the over-priced stale stuff on sale at Kalustian's and even what is offered at the much beloved Sahadi's. It's one of the few weak spots at Sahadi's where you will mostly find the best of the best. But I digress: if you are in the neighborhood you already know this, but if you make the trip, you will be discover fresh chewy succulent lokum. I have sampled the rosewater on several different occasions and it has always been excellent. The pomegranate with hazelnut covered in coconut shreds is also good though I personally prefer the rosewater. I've already been through 10 boxes of it. Don't mind the somewhat gruff local patrons and the fact that the vast majority are speaking Russian. The staff speaks English as well and I have found them polite and accommodating in either language. read more

Decent desserts, but whatever you do - do NOT order their Turkish breakfast. It's amazing how much can go so much wrong with such a simple breakfast plate, and this place managed to screw up most of it. read more

My friends and I came here for the Turkish coffee! I normally like to drink my coffee with milk and sugar, but the coffee here was so rich and smooth that I regretted asking them to put milk in it! The ladies who work here are really nice and this place has nice comfy seating although limited. They have a large selection of baklava and all of it looked really delicious, but I am absolutely ADDICTED to their pistachio turkish delight! This place is definitely out of the way, but it's a must try if you're in the area. read more

I love this place. It is close to my house. Great variety of deserts, very delicious. Highly recommend this place

Me and my friend always come to this place when we want to enjoy Turkish pahlava. I always order pistachios and milky pahlavas and a cup of hot black tea. They're fresh and with really smooth taste! Cafe is very neat and clean. We always sit by the large window. Good view from that place tends us to have long conversation! read more
