Sweet Tillies is a small, family-owned and -operated bakery that opened in 2020 and makes traditional and unique flavors of baklava. Signature flavors of baklava include Traditional, Biscoff Cookie Butter, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Apricot Ginger, Amaretto, and Chocolate Hazelnut. Occasionally some special flavors, such as Quadruple Berry for July 4th, are available. Prices vary based on flavor and quantity, but one dozen costs about $23-25. Customers may either order baklava through the bakery's website or purchase baklava as a walk-in in the store. Nationwide shipping is available. I shopped at Sweet Tillies in-person one time. I met the owner Amy "Tillie" herself, and she kindly sold me one dozen assorted baklava, two of each signature flavor. Before I give you my rating for each flavor, please note that I learned from Greek ladies years ago how to make traditional baklava, and I have much experience with making it at a professional quality in very large quantities. In general, I thought that Sweet Tillies's phyllo was nicely crispy and layered with butter, walnuts, pecans, and other ingredients, and I appreciated the unique flavors. Traditional - 5 stars - This baklava tasted very sweet and nutty and had a little "kick" from cinnamon. Biscoff Cookie Butter - 5 stars - This flavor had a moderate Biscoff flavor and still tasted like baklava. Chocolate Peanut Butter - 5 stars - The flavor of peanut butter was strong, so the baklava almost did not taste like baklava, but I did enjoy it. Apricot Ginger - 4.5 stars - The apricot tasted subtler to me, and the ginger tasted stronger. Amaretto - 5 stars - This baklava had an amaretto flavor that took my tastebuds a moment to detect but tasted very good. Chocolate Hazelnut - 5 stars - This flavor might be my favorite. It looked like the chocolate-peanut-butter flavor but tasted totally different. The chocolate was subtle to me, and the hazelnut made the baklava taste a bit richer than the traditional flavor. read more

I special made for Valentines Day. Service is excellent and the place is super clean and nice. You will not be disappointed!!! read more

What a great find. We stopped for coffee and saw the sign. We were greeted by the smell of almond and the wonderful owner, Amy. We immediately felt like we were visiting family. The baklava is AMAZING! I especially loved the Amaretto. She also had Kensington's which are nothing short of heaven! Pastry filled with cheesecake and fresh berries. So, of course we returned each day of our visit for a Sweet Tillies treat! Thank you Amy! See you next time we're in New Kensington! read more
