Bitchin' Baklava

I came here because I loved the name and was not disappointed. The store is inside another restaurant, Al Masri. There was tons of parking. Bring cash, there is a small fee if you pay with card. I had the Greek spinach and feta cheese puff pastry pie and a few of their most popular baklava. The puff pastry was savory and had a great balance of feta and spinach. The baklava was sweet and flaky. The woman working there was really friendly, and I appreciate that they are open until 9pm. The store is a few blocks from Golden Gate Park. My friend and I drove a few blocks and enjoyed our treats at Ocean Beach.

3.5 stars **Nestled in a restaurant it's a small bakery on the side: their Baklava is crispy and huge - good portions. Bring cash for them to honor prices w/o a sales or credit card tax.I have a specific preference for baklava so it's not that this place isn't good, I think I prefer baklava that isn't as rose-forward. Good pick me up treat for an affordable price. Service was a bit apprehensive and didn't get acknowledged by them until a few moments later.

The sweetest person helped me with my order close to closing time and her recommendations were so tasty and perfect. I took several pieces to go and ate them at the beach nearby. Would highly recommend getting a variety to try!

As the friend of a semi-professional Baklava connoisseur, I am contractually required to be up to date with my Baklava knowledge set, and it's safe to sayin that BB with all its flavors and types of this delicious gooey pastry is at the top of my list.Our group waltzed in mid-day and was immediately helped by a kind host who presented every single type of treat available from the honey-centric baklava, to the chocolate ones and even a wide varied selection of non-Baklava treats! Savory and sweet BB has em all! If you're traversing through the hills of SF and want to avoid the expensive airfare and hassle of TSA, and be teleported to the Levant/Sinai Peninsula you are very lucky because BB has you covered!

Wow. I just came across this hidden gem way out on Balboa Street.I was searching for a good cup of coffee in a locally owned (not a chain) business. Bitchin' Baklava came up at the top of the list with 5 stars, so I wanted to check it out.First, the coffee was really good. Egyptian style is strong, with the grounds in the cup, so sip it slowly. Now, I must tell you about the place. It's the same location as Al Masri, https://s.yelp.com/CWA35kOjqm, which is only open one night a week (Saturdays) for dinner and belly dancing. It's out on Balboa, between 41st & 42nd, and during the daytime, you wouldn't know that Saturday nights have such entertainment out there. There is plenty of free street parking in this neighborhood too.Al Masri is only open one night a week. The rest of the week, the woman running the place opens a take-out counter for Bitchin' Baklava. You can grab a single piece for $3 (worth it!), already a reasonable price, or buy in quantity and get a discount. Like 8 for $20. Once you taste it, you'll want to take home a dozen. I won't get into the variety. You can see that on the website. Lots of choices, and each is sweet and delicious. Check it out and write your own review. Tell me I'm right about this. I know you'll love it.

Yummy, quick, and decently priced baklavas! We were a bit snacky before our dinner reservation and looking for a quick bite, and came across this place! The interior is definitely interesting. We got there around 4-5 pm so right before dinner time and it was completely empty as they were setting up. The place was decorated to the brim and they had what looked like a stage for dinner performances which was cool! Wish we got to stay for that experience.The baklavas and pies were located in little display shelves at the counter. I wish they were heated since we came later in the day and the texture for the pies was a bit harder by then. We got a savory pie with potatoes in it, a classic baklava, hazelnut baklava, and lavender baklava. The pie was good, but as mentioned earlier, by the time we had it, it was cold and the exterior was dried out. The majority of them were also already sold out, which is why we got the potato one. The potatoes themselves were well-spiced and flavorful though!The classic baklava was the best out of the three; the hazelnut one tasted like a ferrero rocher and the lavender one tasted like lavender perfume.Would come back for dinner!

Their baklava is the bomb! I should have ordered more of the traditional ones but wanted to try different flavors all good but the traditional one (I usually don't like walnuts) is amazing. The restaurant has been there for decades but due to CoVid only opens Sat. Looking forward to eating at the restaurant and enjoying some belly dancer entertainment.

I was able to impress my friends during our little reunion with sweets from this shop ! You can tell each baklava was freshly made and beautifully layered with yummy goodness. They were not overwhelmingly sticky, but chewy, flaky, distinct and totally Bitchin !! I highly recommend !!The owner, Susan, is also the sweetest and truly made my day.

Hidden gem!! The baklava here is immaculate. The interior decor is also super tasteful

Best baklava I have ever eaten. Full stop. Bitchin Baklava sells baklava out of an Egyptian restaurant. Walking into this restaurant, I was a little skeptical. It was pitch dark and it didn't seem like anyone had been in there for a while. But the Baklava chef left a sign with her phone number for patrons to call her when they show up, so that's what we did. She walked right in and said so sorry, I had to move my car. She shared with us that she only has walnut baklava at the moment. Gazing at the baklava through the smudged plastic pastry case, it was hard to tell if this baklava was anything special. It just looked like normal trays of baklava. We ordered four pieces of walnut baklava and an Arabic coffee, but the coffee wasn't ready and would have taken another 10 minutes or so. So we just bought the baklava, she placed them in a to go container and we left. My skepticism continued, but my husband said, let's try one. We sat on the bench outside the restaurant and opened our to go container. Right away, I could tell this baklava was special. It appeared sturdy and the layers seemed intact; often, baklava is soggy by the time you get it from the restaurant. This baklava's crispy layers remained crispy. There was a flavor of rose water that came across. The sweet unctuous syrup was heaven. Slightly wonky service experience, but the baklava itself is incredible. I can't wait to order more!
