Basak Turkish Bakery — Restaurant in Cherry Hill Township

Turkish Delightful, Service a Bit Sluggish: A Bakery Review

This Turkish bakery stole my heart with its incredible atmosphere and mind-boggling variety of desserts. The moment I stepped in, the aroma of freshly baked bread and warm spices swept me away. Sunlight streamed through mosaic windows, illuminating walls adorned with intricate tilework. It felt like stepping into a scene from a fairy tale.

Now, onto the main event: the pastries! Rows upon rows of baklava in honeyed layers, glistening kadaif rolls studded with pistachios, and delicate lokum in every imaginable flavor made my eyes widen. I indulged in a pistachio-rosewater cookie that melted in my mouth, followed by a slice of baklava so flaky and rich it felt like pure luxury. Every bite was a revelation.

My only quibble? The service wasn't quite as speedy as the sugar rush I got from the desserts. The line moved a bit slowly, and staff seemed slightly frazzled.

Overall, this Turkish bakery is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth and a sense of adventure. Just be prepared to be enchanted by the atmosphere and blown away by the flavors. And perhaps bring a bit of patience for the service. Trust me, the treats are...

You can enjoy your treats inside the cozy bakery, where the courtyard features a serene water fountain that adds to the relaxing atmosphere. With plenty of seating available, it’s a delightful place to unwind with...

Pretty bummed out at how I was treated here. I had high hopes since I’ve seen so many great reviews.

Upon entering, there were 3 young ladies at the front. I was the only person in the store, they did not greet me. I walked back and forth looking through the glass waiting for someone to ask what items I wanted, they just stared at me - there was a tall young lady with a pony tail and she basically scoffed and rolled her eyes at me upon entering the store and again when I mispronounced the name of a dessert item. I should have left at that moment when I realized they weren’t interested in serving me. They then proceeded to speak to one another in a different language while looking directly at me and smirking. Since I was already there, I ended up purchasing 2 items. I had anticipated on buying more but after being treated as such, I will not be back. I’m pretty...
