The Baklava — Restaurant in Mission Viejo

This baklava shop is truly a gem for anyone who enjoys authentic sweets and great coffee.

The baklava is simply outstanding—crispy, perfectly layered, and made fresh with just the right balance of sweetness. You can immediately taste the quality and care that goes into every piece. What makes this place even more special is their Dubai chocolate, which is always made fresh and tastes amazing—smooth, rich, and unique compared to anything else you’ll find nearby.

To complete the experience, they serve authentic Turkish coffee, brewed traditionally and packed with flavor. It’s strong, aromatic, and pairs beautifully with their desserts. You really get the full experience here: delicious sweets, great drinks, and a touch of cultural authenticity that makes it stand out from other coffee shops.

On top of all that, the staff is friendly, welcoming, and happy to help you choose if you’re not sure what to try first. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat, catching up with friends, or just want a place to relax with excellent desserts and coffee, this shop delivers every time.

Highly recommended—if you love baklava, Turkish coffee, or want to try fresh Dubai chocolate, you’ll be very glad you...

We were on our way to have lunch at a food court spot here when we saw The Baklava and thought we might give it a try after lunch. After lunch, I honestly thought we were just going to look and not buy anything, but the gentleman working here was so helpful and friendly that we just had to buy a few items. I imagine he was probably the owner; he definitely had owner vibes. He was very knowledgeable about other locations around Orange County and Santa Barbara that serve baklava. We actually ended up getting Turkish coffee, which I now recall having tried at a very well-known Santa Barbara spot and hating. Well, the Turkish coffee here has made me a believer. My girlfriend and I are definitely coming back for more baklava and Turkish coffee.

As far as the baklava itself, I would say the standard baklava was very similar to a place we used to go to where we know they brought in homemade baklava. We also tried the chocolate baklava, and wow! That was definitely my favorite. I can't wait to...

I got around 14 pieces of different kind of Baklava, they are high quality with no taste of rose water. The place is good with Turkish coffee.

The variety is good The gentleman there is welcoming.

Prices is little high if you want to buy dozens. There might be better option in terms of prices, but the quality ia really good
