All I wanted was knafeh and wasn't sure where to find. Happened to drive by Shakira and immediately…read moreturned in. They had exactly the "fluffy orange" cheese Nabulsi knafeh that I wanted! It was not overly sweet, so I did have to make my own simple syrup to sweeten up (boiling water/sugar) - after adding it was perfect! Got a few pieces of baklava to try and they were all good! Was $17.80ish for 7 pieces of baklava and the piece of knafeh. My dog grabbed the baklava box off the counter while I was sleeping & he could NOT open it up to eat. So thank you for having a TOUGH container! Ha ha I've tried a nearby baklava place and felt they were heavy and dense. Shakira's baklava were very airy/light/flaky and you could taste the pistachio correctly// not overburnt, felt it was made with love, if that makes sense. Inside is simple.. fridges to the left with some frozen foods and pastries (?). Did not understand how to order since there is just one cashier a few steps in. Seems you go to the cashier first- if picking up they'll get your order, if not- they'll find someone to pick your items out. I liked their front window branding. Will return soon!!

The customer service was excellent--they even let me sample the semolina cake before I bought it since I had never tried it before. The kunafa, semolina cake, and baklava were all absolutely delicious. Everything was perfectly balanced--not overly sweet--so you can really enjoy the rich flavors without feeling overwhelmed by sugar. One of the best parts is that you can buy the desserts by the pound, and the prices are very affordable compared to other sweet shops in the area.

My wife and I can't say enough good things about this place! We b Dream Fountain Catering for our…read morewedding, and initially our plan was to go to several places and inquire about wedding cakes and pastries. Dream Fountain Catering was the first place and upon entering, we were immediately welcomed by Martin. He was fantastic in explaining all the details and how everything worked. Martin understood what we were looking for and made countless suggestions to help us with other ideas. Although we were customers, Dream Fountain Catering made us feel like we were friends and their goal was to ensure complete satisfaction. We decided to cancel our other visits and hired Dream Fountain Catering. We always had an idea on how we wanted our cake to look. We showed Martin and his brother a photo of the desired cake. We could not believe the outcome. They made the cake better than the photo! It was the highlight of our night. The desserts, tiramisu and lemon pistachio cake were delicious and their presentations were beautiful! Dream Fountain Catering ensured we didn't have extra stress on our end as they took care of it all! Thank you for everything! 10/10! You will not regret booking these guys for your events.

I recently had a craving for cannolis and dream fountain cafe came up on my yelp search…read more Walking in there was a display case with some really good looking options that looked too good not to try. We ended up getting some cannolis and some baklava. The baklava itself was yummy. Flaky filo dough and tons of pistachios. The cannolis were not the best I've ever had. The shell was soggy and the filling was not the authentic cannoli filling I was craving. The bakery is super small inside. They have a great coffee menu that I will definitely check out next time. They offer catering and the cakes they had in the fridge looked beautiful! Service was very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely come back for some baklava!

I was skeptical to try this out because I tried this kind of bar in the past and it was just…read more"okay". I ended up ordering it to give as a part of a birthday gift basket and man, the recipient of this had great things to say so I ordered a couple more bars to try with friends and it was nothing short of amazing. The presentation, taste of the chocolate, crispy crunch of whatever that is mixed with the pistachio, the owner of Delulu Desserts, Laura, hand delivered it to me at work. That's what I call "great customer service"!! Laura is very generous with the filing in this bar, it's not just a chocolate bar like the rest. She must have been delusional when she named it "Delulu". 100 out of 10 and I would buy this for myself or to give as a gift anytime.

I ordered dessert and two birthday cakes for my twin daughters and paid in full in advance, with a…read morereceipt confirming everything. The order was supposed to be ready for pickup at 2 PM on Sunday. I sent my mom to pick everything up and bring it to the party. When she arrived, they told her there were no cakes and no record of my order. Two cashiers started blaming each other--each one claiming they didn't take the order. My mom FaceTimed me while I was at the party with guests already arriving (this was around 4 PM, well past the pickup time). I spoke to the cashier who originally took my order--she remembered me--but then claimed they had misplaced the order and there were no cakes. They told us to come back in an hour so they could remake everything. I asked for at least the desserts since the party was already set up and we were only missing the dessert table and cake. Instead, they made my mom wait another 30 minutes just to get the desserts--and even then, the order was incorrect. I had ordered 10 cups of kishkish, but they only gave 8. When I called to ask, they initially insisted they gave 10. I had to FaceTime them to show proof because they were accusing me of lying. Then they changed their story and said they gave 8 larger cups instead. My husband returned an hour later to pick up the cakes while guests were waiting--very embarrassing. The cakes we finally received had different fillings than what I originally ordered, but at that point we had no choice. Throughout this entire experience, the staff was rude and dismissive. Not once did anyone apologize or take responsibility. They made it seem like the mistake was ours. I would strongly advise against ordering from here for any special occasion. This was extremely disappointing and stressful.

There was only one person in front of me when I walked into the store and the lady behind the counter after she got done ringing him up a few people walked in and basically cut the line and she didn't even acknowledge me and she continued to ring people up after the second person she helped. I finally decided to go up to her so that hopefully she'd acknowledge me that I've been waiting patiently I asked a question and then told her I was ready and knew what I wanted. I proceeded to walk to the item and she did not follow me. She continued to ring people up and have me stand there two more people after me and the third person which is now five total told her that he would be happy to wait because he knew I was ahead of him and acknowledged that what she was doing was rude and disrespectful. She shook her head no and said that it was OK and continue to ring him up at that point I walked out outraged and upset of how rude this lady was. I was a big fan of this place, but I will no longer ever come back here again as long as she's working there and I will never recommend anyone to come here either. If you see this lady just keep driving and go somewhere else you don't deserve to be disrespected when you're a paying customer.

That was .....until I found this place!! This cake was not only beautiful but tastes absolutely delicious. The bakery itself had so many different pastries, I was speechless! The ladies at the counter were friendly and there were quite a few people there. Which I thought was a good sign. The place had a good vibe. I did also try the carrot cake. Now, as a white girl, I like mine a different way so I was not a huge fan of this one, but that's just me. I just don't care for the pineapple and coconut, along with the carrot, nuts and raisins. For me, it was too much. I also like a cream cheese frosting, which this did not have. Still, like I said, that's just me. It did look really beautiful though. I will definitely come back!! 10/10 !!!!
