The Baklava

A pretty and modern Turkish cafe in the Mission Viejo. I can see this place getting very popular through Yelp and social media eventually. Maybe if a reel or two gets popular. The decor and the food display make for a nice Instagram backdrop. They have an assortment of Turkish delight varieties presented as little logs. You pick the ones that you want and the gentleman behind the counter (presumably the owner?) cuts them up into cubes and puts it in a box for you. They also have a variety of baklavas to choose from. I love that they offer Turkish coffee as well. It breaks the sweetness of the desserts. Overall everything was tasty and service was good. I hope this Turkish cafe/bakery stays here for a long time. Mission Viejo and Laguna Hills don't have too many interesting food offerings and this place definitely brings something interesting to the neighborhood.

Fairly it's more of a 3.5 stars but since we don't have half ratings, rating up works. This is located inside the Crown Valley Mall on the ground level right below the food court area. It's a nice sheik little store with different baklavas, Turkish delights and tea/coffee. You can order by the piece or the box but I was craving some Turkish coffee and baklava so I had mine right there. As far as the baklava goes the pistachio was my favorite. The flavor was just delicious along with the texture. Their Turkish coffee was just ok to be honest. I've had many many that are made on hot sand as the order is made so this was lacking the depth and the froth on top from being cooked. Service was really good and hospitable and that was the best part of it all. Baklavas could be a little more fresh but I get it, why keep making unless the trays are empty specially in the slower times. My biggest criticism is serving the baklavas on nicer dish ware instead of paper or styrofoam plates and even for tea and coffee to have actual cups. Nothing worse that having some beautiful drinks and tea and to be presented in a very unflattering way specially at the price.

Who would have ever imagined a store just for baklava. And why haven't they before? My wife is a huge baklava fan and was super excited when we saw this. I didn't even know they had different types of baklava. But it doesn't stop there. They also had a million different types of turkish delight! Which immediately made me think of lion the witch and the wardrobe, and I saw that they had a narnia box!The baklava was nice and flaky and we'll definitely be visiting everytime we go to the Mission mall.

The Baklava is a must visit! Their desserts are fresh, sweet, and pair perfectly with Turkish coffee. I highly recommend trying the pistachio baklava, it's delicious!

New to the Shops at Mission Viejo, Baklava shop is a welcome addition to the area. Sometimes I just want something different and exciting to satisfy my non-existent sweet tooth. THE FOODS | Turkish sweet treats. I ordered (and tore through)... - Turkish Delight | The exterior is a springy, white nougat and has a interesting gummy/chewy consistency. The center is a creamy, buttery filling with bits of pistachio mixed in and the subtle scent of rose water. This. Is. Incredible. I highly recommend trying it out. THE DRINKS | Coffee and teas. I didn't order a drink this time around but I'm dying to try their Turkish coffee. If it's anything like other Turkish coffees I've tried in the past, I'm expecting a strong hit of caffeine. I feel jittery just thinking about it. WOULD I COME BACK? | Absolutely yes. I'm sure the baklava is great, but their Turkish Delight lives in my head rent free and I have to go back for more.

I love this place. Baklava is one of my faves and the pistachio baklava and the chocolate baklava hit the spot! I believe it was the owner who was in there and gave me and my friend a piece of baklava because he said he liked how great of friends that we seemed to be. It is about $3 per piece of baklava but definitely worth it. I will absolutely be back here the next time I am in MV!

The flavor was delightful and I will be back to get a taste of some I have yet to try. The service was great the guy recommended some good once I have tried before and I was satisfied with the pickings. The place is clean and it was filled with a good amount of selection.

Their Dubai chocolate bars are to die for !! The best I've had and the price is way more reasonable than anywhere else !! $9 plus it tastes so authentic!! I had to go back and buy more because they're that good ! 10/10 and the owner is so kind !

Their baklava is absolutely the best and I love the Turkish coffee!!! Worth checking out!

Wife spent 70 bucks on this order only for it to have live bugs in it as we opened it after we got it from the store. See pictures.
