The Habibi Sweets

I tried knafeh for the first time in the past year and immediately loved the delicious combination of cheese, nuts, and honey as well as the texture.When I saw it in a portable chocolate form I knew I had to find it!But this place actually specializes in more delicious treats - baklava! Loved all the variations and even got some that were served with warm - sooo good! Also, will say service was really great and helpful! The shop itself is also super cute!

Excellent customer service today. I didn't know what to get and the kind gentleman just picked a pound of random baklava for me to sample. I also came to try the viral Dubai chocolate bar! They only have the bar in milk or white chocolate. Dark chocolate wasn't an option. My son and I ate half of the chocolate bar before coming home. The different textures, pistachio butter and milk chocolate was a match made in heaven. It's the first time we tried the bar so we didn't know what to expect. My only regret was not buying more than one bar!The baklava was really sweet, but still delicious! I mean, what do you expect from the sugary treat!I would come back to try all their desserts. I didn't get a chance to try their cakes but the baklava and Dubai chocolate bar was worth the 30 minute drive!

They have the viral Dubai chocolate pistachio bar. Nuff said!It was nicely refrigerated to ensure I could take pictures of it when I got home. It tastes just like a chocolate bar with pistachio spread with a little crunch. Overall, I enjoyed and I would buy this again.The atmosphere is inviting and the decor is cute and relaxing.

First time checking this place out after seeing it on the news. They sell the Dubai Chocolate for 15$. It was overall a good chocolate bar with pistachio inside. I also tried a piece of baklava which was also amazing. Friendly service from the owner.

The options are unlimited! There are so many delicious desserts, from cakes to candies, chocolates to honey, and baked goods all around. The man helping us was so kind in helping us decide what to take home, I took home a small box of a variety of sweets to try. They have tables to enjoy your desserts in the store, we even got free samples it was so kind.

This one of the best desserts place to check while you are here in San Diego. They have plenty of sweets selection to choose from. The place was so adorable and good to take a selfie lol! The Service staff was all friendly and nice. Just be careful because their desserts is too beauitiful to eat so you might end up staring on it! They have plenty of space to park!

I moved to El Cajon six years ago and since I moved my friends have been telling me about this place in El Cajon off of second Street. El Cajon is known for a city with a mixture of cultures specifically from the Middle East so it's typical to see a lot of Middle Eastern shops around the area.However, because they're so plentiful sometimes you just ignore your surroundings. But one of my friends whom is from Iraq, continued to tell me if I wanted to get the best baklava I need to go to Habibi Sweets! Well, he was very right. Not only baklava, but there was dozens of different types of sweets you can choose from. I couldn't really tell you what they are, but every bite was a new adventure from the baklava to the pistachio rosewater bundles of goodness!I bought a tray of mixed sweets because i wanted to experience different things. And every single thing I got was better than the other.If you're in the mood to discover a new culture and what comes with it then look no further Habibi Sweets.I felt the same way when I do to go to Mary's donuts or some sort of local donut shop that has dozens of different donuts. You better come here with an empty stomach because once you start trying one thing you'll try another another another and they'll be no stopping. I wish I wouldn't have waited six years to try them . And the person who worked there was very happy to service and explain different sweets. You also gave me free chocolate pistachio, which resembled and tasted like a pistachio KitKat awesome!

Dubai chocolate bars are sold here! This is the viral chocolate bar that is filled with pistachio cream and crispy knafeh. It's made with milk chocolate which makes it pretty sweet. I would prefer dark chocolate to mellow out the sweetness but I'm glad I got to try it. Since El Cajon is so hot they keep the chocolate refrigerated so it's nice and cool when you buy it.

Cute newish Turkish bakery. As we were nearby we thought we'd stop in for a few samples after dinner.It's very sweet inside, a real bakery! Staff is very friendly and they seemed to have a consistent line through our visit. I had a Turkish coffee which went really well with our sweet choices. I love baklava so it was thrilling and difficult to make choices. Seeing our challenge we were immediately offered a sample. My favorite of what we bought was the pomegranate on. Sooo good. While mom felt it could be fresher (hence the 4.5) I really enjoyed what we brought home and give this location a thumbs up. I do recommend going earlier as the parking lot did seem to get a bit sketchy as we were leaving.

The Dubai Chocolate Bar is great! Should of got them while I was in Dubai city! Would return back again even if I drive from Temecula!
