Nasser prepping Turkish coffee for his guests

Jessica E.

This store is a gem! The aroma of coffee fills the space, with a free taste provided upon entry. I came for the Turkish Delight, but there's so much more! Hand crafted chocolates in individually wrapped foil look as beautiful as a present. Plus, there are various sweets and roasted nuts to try. Decor is all handmade coffee sets and lamps. Do not pass by if you're near this store - it feels like a mini vacation for the senses. They sell all loose chocolates and nuts by the pound, so get as much or as little as you'd like! Pro tip: Their chocolate pieces would make a unique gift for a Valentine or anniversary gift.

I was joking with my wife about all the reviews saying this would be the perfect place to get a gift. I walked out of here thinking the same! Now that I got that out of the way, the owner is so so friendly. We had a Turkish coffee while deciding on which Turkish delights we would have. All of them were really good and I can't wait to go back for more. I thought the box would last us a week but it was barely half full by the time we made it home! It's such a pleasant experience and there is so much to learn if you haven't had any of these treats or the coffee (and how it's made) that it is worth the visit just for this, and the interaction with the owner, of course! read more

Nice older gentleman- Nassar- greeted us and offered us turkish coffee as soon as we walked in. Lovely selection of turkish delight. Generously offered samples of everything I asked about. Carefully and beautifully packaged our selection of sweets. And the gelato is fantastic! If you're looking for an exotic gift for a foodie- this is a great option. read more

I stopped in here because I was in that shopping center. What a pleasant surprise. This store was unlike anything I had been in before. I had never tried this kind of Candy before. The owner gave me samples. The candy I tried, and later bought, was made from fruit. Totally vegan and gluten free if that matters to you. The cookies were great too. When I bought a box, he put it in a cool cloth bag. I'll be back because there's so many other things to try. read more

You will also be encouraged to try items you are interested in buying. Really lovely presentation of gift boxes which I bought for Valentines' Day and am heading back there today for a retirement gift for my boss. Don't be shy, give it a try! read more
