I love this place. I always look forward to get one of there variety boxes. We recommend this place.

This was a delightful surprise on our quick trip to Monterey. Fantastic Turkish delights and baclava. The Turkish coffee was really good. Not quite as dark as my uncle used to make. I highly recommend this spot. It's much better than the campy tourist spots on the street, the staff is friendly and inviting. The space is relaxing and enjoyable. I really like this spot! read more

Turkish delight specialty shops aren't very common, but despite the gorgeous interior and pretty display of various sweets, I'm giving Troya 2 stars because of the service. An older man with white hair was helping my boyfriend and me, and his sighs, rolling of the eyes, and annoyed tone as we were deciding on what to get were not appreciated. Given all the Turkish delight options and inaccessible drinks menu, how can he expect us to know exactly what we want as soon as we walk in? We weren't holding up the line; there were at least 3 additional workers behind the counter available to help other customers. I felt rushed and as if we were in the wrong. The coffee and delights themselves were fine. My not so great experience here made me miss a very similar shop called Lokum in Santa Barbara. read more

Every time I'm in cannery row, I always make it a point to stop here! I love the Turkish delights, and really appreciate that we are able to sample. This time around, samples led me to falling in love with the mulberry pistachio marshmallow, as well as the chocolate and Oreo flavor marshmallows. For the plain Turkish delights, honey is my favorite. I also have been wanting to try Turkish Coffee but always felt hesitant after leaving and coming back to the store, I was recommended the pistachio cream Turkish coffee. LOVED it (personally, with sugar! But still good without!) Will definitely be coming back for more delight and coffee. read more

I've come here several times after visiting the aquarium and have always enjoyed their candies, so I was genuinely excited to finally try their Dubai chocolate bars. Unfortunately, today was a huge letdown, and I won't be returning. Despite being married and sharing one account, we were told both of us needed to make separate purchases just to use the restroom. Really? That kind of nickel-and-diming is not only frustrating, it's incredibly unwelcoming, especially for families. Would you expect my 5-year-old to make a purchase too if they had to go? I had planned to spend more, but walked out instead. It's a shame, because I used to love this spot but that kind of policy makes it clear where their priorities lie, and it's not with customer care. read more

Modern Turkish Delights are amazing! I'm so glad I decided to visit this place while walking through Cannery Row. The gentlemen working there are so kind! We got to sample and we loved it so much we ended up spending some $$$$. I'm not over the chocolate hazelnut Turkish Delight. I wish I was local so I can eat more.... Next time, I definitely want more! read more

It was our second timed today as a visitor from hawaii and richmond california and we are supposed to buy alot today to give out as treats back home but we didn't expected to be rushed and had a bad customer service the old guy who helped has no customer service and was rushing us to pick what we want. We came back from our visit yesterday because the lady who served us was so kind and very professional, and treated us humans and gave us extra ordinary customer services even we spend totaling a hundred already just to buy in this store and the treats taste good and the presentation caught our eyes but today we regret to comeback. As a customer i was so closed to leave everything behind but since our box was almost ready we still paid and leave professionally. That guy needs to have patients in retail business, he cannot be in the front if he is rushing and cannot handle busy environment. His cutting and plating is very messy and super unprofessional.It's july 4th but you ruined our day. Godbless your soul read more

Wow really nice authentic Turkish store with dessert assortments. Brother came back from Middle East recently and we have tried some of these Turkish delights before. Think there was 10+ delight options, baklava, halava Clare teas and other items. Very friendly staff we got samples, liked the Oreo delight. Definitely recommended and we will stop by again when we're in town! read more

Went here on the weekend as part of a Monterey day trip. Came here before and this place never disappoints! The staff is super nice and the quality of food is always top notch! We got the pistachio and walnut baklava and Turkish coffee. As a sweet on the side, they gave some pieces of Turkish delight which was very considerate of them. The baklava was flaky and not super moist. I felt it had the perfect consistency for this dish. The Turkish coffee was also very good and just the perfect level of strength I was expecting. Because it is in smack middle of downtown Monterey, all parking is street parking but the nice thing is it it is right by other shopping places so there are many other places to see after you finish your time at this coffee shop, I plan on coming here again in the future anytime I go to Monterey! read more

Troya Turkish Delight & Baklava is a storefront on Cannery Row, just down the street from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They offer an extremely wide variety of fresh & imported gourmet Turkish Delight & confections from their 'Narnia Delights' collection. They also carry a nice variety of baklava, kadaif & pistachio rolls, and well as nuts and traditional Turkish coffee & teas. The Turkish Delight and 'Narnia Delights' are soft with a chewy texture that are not overly sweet. Troya also offers vegan and gluten-free selections. It is sold by the pound, so one may purchase as much or as little as desired. There are sample boxes displayed in the cases to help the customer see the quantity one would receive for a given price. We've tried their wonderful treats before, but if you haven't, they offer samples. On this visit we wanted a piece of their pie-slice honey-filled Anatolian Cut baklava to enjoy with a morning cup of coffee. The baklava was heaven with it's flaky phyllo pastry, nicely filled with ingredients and oozing with honey. The store is very clean with a quaint, inviting atmosphere with friendly & helpful staff. Troya Turkish Delight & Baklava offers many tables to sit and enjoy a Turkish coffee or tea, and some delicious treats. Bring home a box for yourself, guests or for any celebration. read more

My family and I were looking to grab some dessert and coffee after heavy lunch at near by restaurant. We were lucky enough to accidentally walk-in in that authentic Turkish sweets shop. Let me start by describing the complicated taste of Turkish coffee, that is rich deep and absolutely delicious. Turkish desserts are usually on a sweeter side, pair perfectly with strong and heavenly bitter taste of Turkish coffee! We ordered halva, which flavor took me back to my childhood in Russia( but Russian version of Turkish halva has less refined taste and color). Also we cannot resist to order the hazelnut-chocolate desserts (sells by weight,not by slice like halva), it tastes like Nutella for rich people-absolutely heavenly! Beside the food you will be charmed by unique interior with authentic lamps and wall decorations. There are few tables inside and a couple of tables outside the shop. The service was very attentive and friendly, greeting you with truly eastern hospitality! Will definitely recommend this place! read more

The Turkish candies here are amazing. Just get a little of everything that catches your eye, and then come back and get more of what you definitely liked. Many nuts: pistachio, hazel nut, almonds, etc I do recommend the halva especially. read more

There was a long line for the sweets and I can see why. These little desserts are so full of deliciousness and I can't stop eating them. The service was awesome. I was stuck with what to buy so the gentleman offered tasters and he cut up tiny pieces. Once he did this, I purchased anything pistachio and raspberries. Come in and enjoy the treats while you sit and enjoy or take it to go. read more

Walking around the area is also a pleasant experience, so why not top it off with a great dessert place? I saw Troya Turkish Delight just by wandering around. I have never tried a Turkish Delight before so I wanted to give it a try and it truly did not disappoint. They had a lot of different options and it was hard to pick the right one. I opted in with the classic Pistachio flavor, Cookies & Cream, and I believe a chocolate flavor (because they were running low and it might have been the customers' favorite). The taste of all of the Turkish delights I got were great, but the pistachio was my favorite. Biting into the Turkish Delight, I did not expect it to be as chewy from the way it look, but honestly, I really enjoyed it. The cookies and cream was very sweet, so if you don't like overly sweet dessert, I suggest not to get that flavor. Overall, the Turkish Delight satisfied my experience walking around the area. I'd definitely try another Turkish Delight place if I ever see one again! read more

** Update after our second visit in two days: the ladies here are extremely nice, helpful, and accommodating. The guys here are so so - didn't seem open to answer questions, and gave us a hard limit of one sample per person regardless of how many flavors we plan to purchase. Out of the six flavors we've had, my favorite is the tiramisu chocolate. ** The grand look of Troya drew us in. We wanted to try their Turkish coffee but it was already 3pm, so we opted for a rose tea, an original black tea, and two baklavas (Rose Petals Pomegranate, Chocolate Browni Banana). Rose tea had a pleasant aroma and fancy rose petals add-on, but I definitely didn't expect it to be so sweet. I assumed it would be rose-flavored unsweetened black tea, which would pair much better with the super sweet baklavas. The original black tea was great, but there was nothing Turkish about it. It tasted like high-quality English Breakfast tea. The two baklavas were good, but overly sweet for us, esp. the rose petals pomegranate one. We both preferred the chocolate browni banana one because its sweetness wasn't as overwhelming. Again, if the rose tea wasn't sweetened, it would at least balance out the sweetness in baklava. The service here was okay. The staff offered us samples of the baklava, which was appreciated. However, we felt rushed when ordering, and the staff didn't provide enough clarifications. The tea was overpriced ($4/8 oz), versus the more expensive baklava was reasonable, since it seemed fairly labor-intensive. read more

The good: I got the pistachio nougat-style Turkish delight and enjoyed the stretchy texture and airiness. I liked that it wasn't too sweet and that the ingredients were all natural. It's refreshing to see a different dessert spot that isn't the American traditional ice cream or cookies. The bad: The cardboard box that holds the treats isn't grease proof so overtime the treats make the box look greasy (not the best if you're giving these as a gift). The interesting: I remember first learning about Turkish delights from the book the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and then being disappointed when I tried it for the first time because it was much more like an old lady candy than a candy a kid would like. I appreciate it more now as an adult. read more

My favorite place for Turkish delights so far. Been here a handful of times and have always enjoyed the treats and coffee. Small place but beautiful colors from the decor to the treats in the display cases. A few tables and chairs so if you're lucky you might be able to snag a seat and enjoy some Turkish coffee and delights. Be prepared to be overwhelmed with all the desserts and flavors. With so much to choose from I had to limit myself and try the other flavors on my next visit. The service is great and attentive to what you want to try and taste. The delights are sold by weight so be mindful otherwise you'll end up with a high fare. I always plan to sit down and enjoy my treats when I'm there so I wait around for a open table. Minus one star for the parking and cost for the delights. But you must this place when you're in the area. read more

What an amazing shop!! First, the staff is amazing and so kind and welcoming!! Secondly, there are so many magical confectioneries!! The assortments are beyond your imagination. If you think Turkish delights are just rose water, you would be wrong. There are so many assortments of delights, that are actually delights. But besides the mysterious and strange and delicious tidbits, the staff made this the most welcoming and hospitable cafe ever. I can only recommend that you visit and enjoy the Turkish coffee and the delicious Turkish delights. Narnia did not do justice to these sweets. Go in and experience a new treat. Thank you Cihat Dalmis and the charming young man behind the coffee bar, for making our visit to Cannery Row, a true delight. For information use: www.troyamry.com read more

I found out about Troya from Tiktok a few days before I was going to be in Monterey and knew ai had to stop here! Troya is located in such a nice location surrounded by good food, views, and there was ample parking. I ordered a box of their different kinds of baklava and also shared with my mom. I have a big sweet tooth, so I thought everything I had was perfect. Desserts aren't all they have either! It's a great spot to stop for a small Turkish coffee as well. read more

This place was very nice. The decor was done nicely. The display case contained works of eatable art. We should have stopped here before we ate lunch. All we wanted was a good strong cup of coffee. And we know about Turkish Coffee. We tossed out our weak dark coffee from a shop down the street and went to Troya's. Not disappointed at all. Only thing missing was being served in a glass cup with a metal holder. Paper cups take away the flavor and the nostalgic of drinking Turkish Coffee. We will be back when we visit Monterey again. read more

5 stars!!! My friend wanted to pick up their infamous Turkish delights. I personally am not a fan because of my previous experience of it being too sweet. I was so wrong when we came here!! We were able to pick a variety of delights. My favorite one was the rose petal Turkish delight. I also ordered the chocolate and pistachio coffee. It was so delicious Workers here were super friendly and welcoming. My friend and I had our babies in our strollers and it was a little cramped because they were really busy. Despite being busy with a lot of customers, the workers were very kind enough to carry out our coffee My baby also got a complementary protection pin We will come here again!! Highly recommend!! read more

Troya Turkish Delight and Baklava is a clean and modern store located on Cannery Row. I stopped by on my coworker's recommendation, and loved their beautiful displays of unique turkish delights and baklavas (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=O94OVuna2cyx-HKHiCt9Qg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg). It was so hard to decide what to try, and I'm glad that you can specify exactly how much you want of each flavor. They weren't busy around 12:30pm on a Friday, and I tried: -Melon Hazelnut, Nesquick Chocolate Hazelnut, Kiwi Pistachio ($29/lb, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IdbtmUfn7xJPVWln_n-VXg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): I haven't seen any of these flavors before, and was so excited to give them a try. The kiwi pistachio ended up being my favorite, since I liked the nuttiness in the filling. The melon and nesquick were a little too sweet for me. -Baklava (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=M1A-csU1GJNDtBr7PUlN2A&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg: Good, but a touch too sweet for my tastes. However, they did not skimp on the butter or pistachios! Their staff was really friendly and helpful. Items are on the pricier side, but they are located in a super touristy area where rents are likely crazy high. Stop by for a sweet treat if you're looking for something unique to try! There was a good amount of street parking available a couple of blocks away from the main Cannery Row area. read more

High quality, expensive desserts from the Turkish lads here. I enjoyed what I ordered, I got a half log of the pomegranate with pistachio flavored jelly log. I also ordered a green apple with macadamia nuts jelly half log and somehow it was much cheaper than buying the assorted boxes they offered. My box was 16$ after taxes for 2 half logs. The other boxes range from 30$-50$ depending on the size. Obviously the bigger is more expensive. They do have the powdered cubed jellies that are the regular Turkish delights and baklava pastries. But, I had no interest in that. We also got two assorted boxes for about 30$ each small. They had a variety and some of them inside were exclusive to the assortment. I enjoyed the jellies but they had a very sweet taste to them enough to give you the diabetes. Overall, I recommend the place. It had a beachy ambiance and the customer service was splendid. The store was as small as a sees candies. You get to choose which half logs or cubed blocks of your choice. The other places nearby are very saturated. It is located in monterey which is very north of California on the west coast Beach. read more

Was craving coffee and googled local places. Stumbled upon this gem and was incredibly happy with reviews. The good: The coffee. The service. We had baklava (pistachio and cashew or maybe pistachio and walnut)-- whatever two flavors-- both were amazing. Had a free sample of Turkish delight and it was...delightful. See what I did there?!? Anyways- sweet and chewy and light. The bad-- it is a very niche business in a super touristy area so prices are high. Parking and traffic are also not great. But if you can overcome those things-- strongly recommend. To consider-- again. High prices. No obvious on site bathroom. I think that this would not be a place I would take my kiddos but to each their own. read more

It's expensive but it's beautiful, and if it didn't cost a whopping $3 per PIECE, I would have tried every piece of baklava and Turkish delight they had. That said, I don't know the cost and effort that goes into making these lovely confections so I assume the price is a reflection of that. The store looked and smelled heavenly, even through the mask. The regular baklava is great, but it's the chocolate baklava you want. Must return for some Turkish delight. read more
