Dessert Turkish Coffee & Tea

I would say this is the best Turkish delights in town! The people work there are super generous and friendly. Absolutely will be back.

Amazing baklava, kadaif, lokum and other sweets that melts on your fist bite… pistachios original baklava taste brought me back to my childhood memories… my advice: grab it for “to go” because this store is uniq diamond in FL and you cannot find better one near… p.s. try Turkish coffee

Thank you, Helen, for the memorable experience! We found ourselves at this lovely Mediterranean shop in St Armand’s Circle.Helen told us all about each different piece of candy and baklava. So many authentic, fresh, delicious choices.We settled on five different pieces of candy and two pieces of baklava. Each was unique and delicious.It was a bit too late for a caffeinated tea, but we can't wait to come back.

Made a trip to this little coffee/dessert shop after reading about it in the newspaper. The varieties of baklava set your mouth to watering, as well as the many offerings of lokhum / Turkish delight. We were looking forward to sitting down w a coffee and baklava but they had no milk for cappuccino and the proprietor discouraged a Turkish coffee for time of day (~5 pm, quick stop before beach sunset). We are used to middle eastern confections and coffee as after dinner standard fare, so surprised. Got a few to-goes, $$$$. Guessing it's the St Armand's location. Big plus for the taste and variety, price and customer appeal a disappointment.

Absolute phenomenal baklava and Turkish coffee is the best I've had in years! Will come back any time im in town ?

My husband and I stopped in for Turkish coffee on 12/8/2021.I always want to try the Turkish delight but for some reason, these Turkish places in high end tourist destinations charge like $30/lb for it, making it totally overpriced. There is no way they're selling enough that the food is fresh at those prices.My husband and I each got a Turkish coffee and we wanted to sit and have a quiet chat over our drinks after a long day. Unfortunately the owner at the cash register was sitting on his phone BLASTING either a movie or a game without headphones and it was super distracting. We finished up our drinks quickly and left.Would be better if the prices weren't outrageous for Turkish delight and the owner would use headphones if he's going to play on his phone.

At first I saw this place and I was so happy to get to try some of the turkish desserts. The place has a nice decoration and design added to the variety of the sweets. I had ordered couple of pistachios and walnut baklava and I was shocked of how expensive it is, especially I bought it elsewhere in many places and it was not as crazy expensive as this. The taste was not great because it was not as fresh as I was thinking so the price of $55 for it was not worth it at all. I would not recommend for its ridiculous pricing.

It was very overpriced ($5 each baklava) that is around 1*0,5 inch in size. You can get similar quality for the much better price at a local Mediterranean food establishment. The assortment is not always there. When we went there it was almost empty. On adverts I saw that they have a large selections of Turkish sweets and treats, while in fact they have just a handful of varieties.

The Baklava is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life. I wish I’d gotten more when I was in town. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Baklava!!!! So Good!! Stopped in just to check it out and decided to bring some back to hotel for dessert after dinner. Sooooo glad we did!! In my pics, we have already eaten 2 walnuts, there is a chocolate, a pistachio, can't remember the other 2 but I'm sure they will be delicious! Super friendly owner! Definitely go there! #eatbaklavaEphesus
