Bought some pastries on the way home to try. Put in the oven for about 8 min at 300F and the taste is amazing. The chicken berek was fantastic, well spiced and not overly stuffed, nice herbs as well. The important part is the excellent pastries. Service is very nice and authentic. Ambience is a bit... too bright. Very well air conditioned in the summer. Just a regular shop though. Will definitely return! Also got the Pistachio Pakhlava which is also amazing after the often. Eat too fast for the pic... lol... read more

I visited Sharbat for the honey cake, but I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the Nutella latte. The Nutella latte is as good as the original Killer ESP Nutella latte. The savory pastries are also very good, and their blueberry latte comes recommended (I couldn't stray from the Nutella latte though!) There are ample plugs for working while you enjoy your treats and the seats are pretty comfortable. read more

Cute spot serving delicious pastries and drinks! I got the honey cake, mixed greens pastry, chicken borek, and a hot vanilla matcha drink. There was only one slice of honey cake left when I went, so it's definitely one of the more popular options. Would recommend going earlier if that's what you wanna try. It was my first time trying honey cake and I really enjoyed it! Loved all the layers. They heated up the chicken borek and mixed greens pastry for me, which I really appreciated. Both were amazing. Staff was so sweet and accommodating. There was a good amount of seating here. Gave cozy vibes. Would definitely recommend this spot!! read more

There are many unique pastries and cakes here. We had the famous honey cake, and it's easy to see why it's popular. I also got one of the paklavas (baklava) and the server gave us an extra piece for free, which was a nice treat. If you're bored of walnut baklava and want to try something new, come here. The prices are very low considering the area. read more

It's my third visit here and decided to try something savory. The beef sausage roll hit the spot. Pastry was flaky and the sausage was made from beef. Basically a beef hot dog with a lovely pastry wrap. Additionally I sampled some traditional tea. It was deep dark and delicious. Perfect with my dessert. The server was super friendly and kind. Very much felt welcome here. Next time I will try their grape leaves. Another customer had these and they looked delicious!! read more

Sharbat is homey. It's perfect for a special treat, a savory meal, or your favorite desired hot beverage. I couldn't decide so I ordered all three: a London fog, a warm dumpling soup, and a slice of the famous honey cake. On a windy, grey day, this was the perfect half-way stop during an east coast road trip. Parking is street only, but it's a very short walk from the Metro, and there are a few surrounding parking garages (though expensive). The staff was kind, and I left with several boxes of goodies to get me through the next few days. read more

An expansion of a place that originated in Adams Morgan, this location finds itself near the Alexandria metro. They have a selection of cafe fare, though I was unclear on whether or not vegetarian grape leaves were available as they appeared on some iterations of the menu but not others. As a bakery, they had a small but mouthwatering selection. The cake slices I bought disappeared without me getting a taste, but I am confident that they were delicious. read more

Came here for dessert and coffee after happy hour. It's a very cute cafe- so sad that there weren't many people there. Their pastries looked amazing but we got the Dubai Chocolate Cake and Nutella Latte. The Nutella latte was good but I was a little disappointed in the Dubai chocolate cake's texture-- thinking it would have some crunch. It was slightly difficult ordering but the staff member was nice- said it was her first day though. read more

We got the gurza and beef sausage roll- kind of reminds me of hotdog buns from Hong Kong bakeries but more flaky texture. Both were delicious! The atmosphere is quiet with nice French cafe music in the background. The seating is nice. And the staff gave us free tea and cake slices at the end on the house! It was nice to stop by on a rainy day in Alexandria. read more

Excellent ethnic bakery that specializes on pastries from the region of the world immediately south of Russia. there are a nice selection of very well made pastries this business sells, both savory and sweet, that are absolutely delicious. For our first visit here we had their Raisin Cranberry Cookie (more like a scone) and Pistachio Pakhlva (like Baklava). Both deserts were very well made and oh so tasty. Our deserts were washed down with their house coffee, Capucinno and a latte that were full bodied coffee drinks that were excellent in their own right. Relative to the facility it is clean and bright inside with a limited number of indoor tables offering you the option of eating there or taking it to go. Staff was super friendly and offered a free sample of their Baklava to entice you to buy their desserts where it worked in my case (:. Overall an excellent dessert business that needs to be sampled to be appreciated. The five star rating in Yelp seems well deserved in my opinion where If you try a sample you will be hard pressed to walk away from this business without buying one of their pastries! read more

I waited for this place to open for months, and it did not disappoint. We came here for brunch and ordered the Beef Khachapuri, Chicken Borek, Cheese Khachapuri, and a slice of Napoleon. I asked the staff to warm up all but the Napoleon and they kindly did. All delicious - cheese was the tastiest, followed by the beef, and the chicken which was the healthier option among them. I'll be back soon for the honey cake! There were a few Russian speakers in the cafe enjoying tea but overall quiet and not busy, casual, and laid back. A great place to read a book and enjoy a cup of coffee. FYI - they were out of drip coffee so we got an Americano. Also, be careful with the hours. I have passed by at 8 AM and they were closed. read more

We almost walked by this bakery, but I'm so glad we stopped in! They had a great variety of pastries as well as a food menu. We just tried some of the pastries though. The pakhlava was delicious! So flaky and flavorful. I preferred the pistachio over the Nutella, but Nutella isn't really my favorite in general. The honey cake stole the show! The sweet honey and layers of cream between flaky layers were decadent. The raspberry drizzle elevated it even more. It's easily one of my favorite desserts that I've ever had. Don't miss out on this amazing bakery on your visit to Old Town! read more

Stopped in there late evening on way back to the metro for a snack! Greeted by whom I'm assuming is the owner, super friendly and sweet. The cafe is a dainty sized but exceptionally cozy. I got an iced coffee and two cookies to go! The coffee was delicious, I didn't get to eat the cookies - the boyfriend ate them! He liked them. They were giant well sized cookies. Wish I got a photo of the dessert display but I was rushing back to the hotel. Next time! read more

Super quiet and low key cafe with multiple types of unique desserts. We got the kurabiye and another lemon flavored cookie that the name escapes me as well as a "shaken espresso" which was phenomenal! The shaken espresso has flavors of cardamom and was super well balanced with whatever dairy they were using. Can't recommend this place enough, the staff is super friendly and helpful in making choices about what to get. read more

4.5 stars The food here is awesome. It's more of a small little cafe than a sit down restaurant, and it was clear that they weren't used seating larger parties (in our case 5). I think this was also due to being a somewhat new location. We basically ordered the entire menu between the 5 of us, so it was a big order for them to put out, and they did so in a reasonable time. Also the staff were very hospitable, and gave us a special pot of tea with some baklava as a thank you. read more

Quaint little bakery a short stroll from King Street metro. It's a hidden gem, which won't stay hidden for long! I sampled the honey cake and an americano while sitting on a comfy padded bench. The honey cake was sublime! Thanks, Stephanie for the suggestion! Americano was satisfying too. Can't wait to go back and try different sweet offerings and baklava! read more
