I visited this new spot and it’s a real gem! The selection of Middle Eastern sweets is amazing—fresh, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. They also offer crepes and waffles. Everything tastes authentic and made with care. I tried the baklava and a few other pastries, and they were perfectly balanced, not overly sweet but full of flavor. The Turkish coffee was excellent—strong, smooth, and served just the way it should be. It paired perfectly with the desserts. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to sit and enjoy a treat with friends or even just relax on your own. The staff are friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. This shop is a fantastic addition to the area, and I’ll definitely be back often! ~ Salim T
If you haven’t tried a Chimney Cake (Kürtőskalács) from this shop yet, you are seriously missing out on one of life’s greatest simple pleasures. From the moment you walk in, the smell of caramelizing sugar and fresh dough hits you—it’s impossible to walk past without stopping. Here’s why this place is a 10/10: Freshness: They bake these right in front of you. There’s nothing like pulling apart a warm, steaming ribbon of dough that’s crispy on the outside and pillowy-soft on the inside. The Texture: That crunch of the cinnamon-sugar glaze is perfection. It’s not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced. Creative Fillings: I tried mine filled with Nutella and fresh strawberries, but even the plain walnut one is incredible. Service: The staff is super friendly and clearly takes pride in the "spinning" process. It’s as much a show as it is a snack! ~ ахмад а
Amazing sweets, waffles and crepes. The chimeny cake was very delicious with the ice cream! If you're a coffee enthusiasts, We'd would recommend the Turkish coffee with a side of any of their delectable sweets. We are definitely coming back to try the other sweets they have. The employees were very nice, welcoming and very helpful! they did an amazing job at making our drinks and the Chimney Cake. Seating was good but limited if there is over 10+ people. the tables and shop was very clean and tidy. Would highly recommend coming here. ~ TinaEh V
