Had a random free weekday and decided to make the trek over as my friend has been insisting I go because the family running it is so precious (check out their IG/tiktok)
Very short quick line in a simple storefront, got influenced by the woman in front of me and bought a bag of the regular and wheat pita in addition to a plain and chocolate cream croissant and knafeh I was planning to buy.
The pitas were solid, I would recommend the wheat one since it tasted just as good so might as well get that extra fiber! Nice chew to them and neutral flavor to pair well with your dip/filling of choice.
Croissants were super flaky and buttery. I wasn't paying attention and expected the chocolate to be more like your standard pain Au chocolate with the dark chocolate but the one I chose was actually truly a chocolate cream filling (very full!) more like the cake frosting in fancy cakes.
All quite messy, happy I chose to eat out of my trunk in the parking lot not inside the car. There's only a bench for seating in the bakery itself.
The knafeh I baked at home in the air fryer (fit just perfectly) and this was my favorite part which I think I would most come back here for. We had this a couple of times in Istanbul earlier this year and at the time I thought, "Americans would LOVE this, cheesy, crunchy, some salty, and sweet a how is this not more readily available?" Now I know where to go!
Ran into the owner and he was super sweet and appreciative of us for stopping - he's taking his celebrity very well!
Pro tip if you're into pop culture things, Everett is also the home of Funko Pop HQ and they have a really quirky store to visit on the ground level that's only like 12 min away if you're looking for more things to do if you've come from somewhat far and don't want to immediately turn around and head home. read more
