Sham Sweets

Delicious, Clean Food and Sweets!Sham Sweets exceeded my expectations. The food and desserts were delicious and everything was clean and well-prepared. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to eat!

Get the cheese kunaya! It's amazing. Imo, it's better than the Booza. Very quiet but polite young gentlemen was manning the front when we walked in.

This spot was my first exposure to Mediterranean desserts and I am so glad I came across it! This spot is nestled in the Arden/ Howe Ave area. It's in a pretty slow shopping center, so parking was easy. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted and welcomed. There was plenty of seating available. It was a more quiet environment, very lowkey and casual. You can also see that they have racks of sweets to choose from. I let the owner know that I have never tried any of their desserts and he helped me figure out what I wanted to try. He offered me several samples, which I felt was really thoughtful. All of them really good!I ended up ordering the Booza with pistachios and was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful and unique it was. I've never tried anything like it. I loved the pistachios on top. I can't wait to try more Meditteratian sweets, and this spot definitely has many options to choose from!

I had a craving for pistachio Turkish delight and found my way here. I ended up getting a variety pack of goods.Baklava was solid.Turkish delight nougat stuff was fabulous (will definitely get it here moving forward when I have a craving vs. Amazon)Some of the items were just ok, but the person working there also recommended this honey soaked pastry with a cream inside (see photos) and I'm still dreaming about it, so yummy! When the weather gets warm, I'll definitely be back for the famous ice cream (I love Turkish ice cream - it was just rainy when I visited so opted for the pastry goods instead!) So great to have a sweets shop like this in Sacramento!

We stopped by this store to grab some sweets for some occasion. The store is already have a set of trays covered and ready to be purchased but also they had a variety of delicious sweets and lots of pistachios based sweets interestingly. It looks very clean and neat place. There are several tables for families to sit and enjoy coffee or tea with some sweets and they also have savory pastries. We grabbed some pastries and sweets. They were delicious and most importantly fresh. The baklava is so crunchy bit not hard and not very sweet it's perfect balance. The worker was nice too and accommodated our order.

If you are a fan of pistachio desserts, you don't have to look any further. This mom and pop Syrian store has trays upon trays of nutty sweets and pastries. We tried a bunch of different things (unfortunately I don't know the names of them). But, I have concluded all my favorite things were triangle-shaped (picture included). I think the smaller was a baklava but the larger was filled with a mild cream of some sort! All were flaky and delicious.One of the wildcards also enjoyed most was a piece out of the slab of stretchy candy(?) made with rose flavor and nuts! The Booza was also really good if you are a fan of pistachios and frozen cream. It's basically what it tastes like after he slices the frozen roll and puts it into a clear cup for you to enjoy. It's not as stretchy as I thought it would be, but it was clean, simple, and creamy.Overall, my review is 4.5 stars. This gem of a sweets place is great if you like desserts that aren't cloyingly sweet (the ultimate form of dessert praise from older Asians). The owner is very nice. It would be awesome (as some others have said) if there were prices and names listed for all the amazing trays of sweets on the counter. We definitely got by showing him pictures of what we wanted, but would be helpful for learning/sharing more about their food culture and for other Yelpers deciding what to grab for dessert!

I love baklava if it is fresh and well made. This baklava is made on site fresh very day. Different kinds of desserts as well with either pistachio nuts or walnuts. I would highly recommend this place to get your middle eastern treats. We ordered a large tray of baklava for Father's Day to complement our catered Persian food meal. The baklava was a hit and there was plenty to go around. Everyone took some home with them as well. Full baking sheet of baklava is $75. Fresh and very tasty not too sweet which I appreciate. We will be ordering these treats again we ordered baklava but they have other types of desserts as well. All delicious and fresh.

We found the amounts overpriced, with no prices posted, or receipts given. Owner, I'm assuming, was on the phone and lacked customer service skills. Items themselves did not have very good flavors, and we found the rolled ice cream quite terrible. Items were placed all over the tables, leaving only one open to sit at, which was dirty.

I was really looking forward to these sweets, and my husband got me several different kinds on Christmas Eve. They are all stale and soggy. Oh well. We won't be trying this store again.
