Baklava House

Five Stars and Beyond for Baklava House! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment I stepped into Baklava House, I was enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere. But what truly elevated my experience to a perfect five stars was the incredible kindness of the staff. They greeted everyone with genuine smiles and were so patient in explaining the different varieties of baklava and other delightful treats. What really blew me away was their generosity with samples! It was a little piece of heaven. The rich, flaky layers, the perfect sweetness, and the high-quality nuts were evident in every bite. It made choosing what to buy an absolute pleasure (and a little difficult because everything was so delicious!). Beyond the exceptional treats themselves, the warmth and generosity of the people at Baklava House truly make it a standout. It's clear they take pride in their offerings and genuinely want their customers to enjoy them. This isn't just a place to buy delicious pastries; it's an experience. I left with a box full of goodies and a big smile on my face. I highly recommend Baklava House to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality baklava served with a side of genuine kindness. I can't wait to visit again!

Desserts with the right amount of sweetness, the Dubai chocolate I would have expected to be filled with pistachio cream, it was a little bit dry inside. The coffee was good with a different taste from what I'm used to. Overall a good experience 😌

I must say I am impressed with all the available types of baklava, and the taste is spectacular. I absolutely love the cheese filled ones and the Dubai chocolate is really good, needs more pistachio cream for my taste but great for an afternoon snack or a box of desserts for you or the family.

Baklava House keeps me coming back for their Dubai chocolate bars — they’re absolutely delicious! I’ve also tried several of their other desserts, and everything has been really good. Always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. A great spot for anyone with a sweet tooth!

The food is absolutely amazing! The baklavas have the perfect balance of flakiness and sweetness—just right without being overpowering. The Dubai chocolate is also not too sweet, and the filling inside is incredibly delicious. The cheese spinach bread is a standout too—the bread is light, not too thick, and the cheese has a unique but fantastic flavor. On top of that, the service was exceptional! The staff was incredibly kind and took the time to explain the menu perfectly.

The baklava is out of this world! So flaky and flavorful—you can tell it’s freshly made. The variety is mouth watering. Staff is so kind - very chill, local place. highly recommend

Really nice people who work here and delicious treats also. Before I even started my order, the guy working behind the counter gave me a sample that was delicious. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A DUBAI CHOCOLATE CUP, they do make them here!!! I was only gonna order the dubai chocolate bar that I saw people online say were amazing from here, and then they happened to bring the cups out on a tray. Everything so far was great!

Baklava House is a cozy gem in Austin! The baklava is fresh and perfectly sweet, and their manakish is flavorful with soft, warm dough — a must-try. The staff is always welcoming and kind. Great food, great vibes — I’ll definitely be back!

Delicious baklava spot in North Austin! You'll be given a sample of baklava stuffed with cream cheese upon arrival. The piece is not just bite sized but it's a regular big piece. It's a mom and pop shop so the staff is very nice. They have a variety of baklava with different fillings like pistachios, walnuts, cream cheese, Nutella, etc. The shop is filled with trays of different assortments, and smells so good with the aroma of baked dough, honey, and roasted nuts. We got pistachio baklavas and they're sooo delicious. The sweetness is right (I've had way sweeter baklava and it's hard to eat when it's too sweet or drenched in sugary syrup). Each piece is covered in enough honey to make it sticky without being overly sweet. The nuts are the highlight of the piece - they're crunchy and very nutty. The crunchiness of the nuts, the crispiness of the dough, balanced by the sweetness of honey and the buttery taste, it's heaven in a bite. The triangle ones with stringy things are very impressive because they're stuffed with whole pistachios inside, not crushed or flavors, PURE WHOLE PISTACHIOS. The only thing that is missing is signage. I think they should have a sign for each kind of baklava to let us know what the differences are and what they are called. Pricing: it's $17 per lb and you can mix and match in a box. We got 6 pieces of traditional square baklava with pistachios inside and 3 triangle stringy ones, and the total was $30. It's a bit pricey in my opinion but I understand nuts are pistachios are expensive. And it's hard to find fresh and delicious baklava elsewhere. At The Kebab Shop, they have pretty good baklava but each small piece is already $4, so I guess here's great. There's also plenty of seating area inside. Looks like they serve coffee too. It's not a pretty coffee house, but it's a casual place with tables and chairs if you want to enjoy your desserts there with a cup of coffee. Most people order for to go. Please come and support this small local business when you're craving this type of Mediterranean dessert.

Best baklava spot in Austin! The staff was super kind and gave us samples to try before ordering. We asked for a variety box and he really hooked us up with a cool assortment. Lots of seating inside and so many great desserts to choose from, definitely check it out!

I want to like this place so much!! for all the rave reviews I have read and how good they look. I ubereats the mix 1lb baklava box. The baklavas are a mix of walnut, pistachio, nutella and knafeh consistency small bites. They are drenched in sugar syrup, look, smell really good but they are so freaking sweet. Overwhemingly sweet, and this is from someone who loves desserts and can eat multiple Krispy Kreme at once.. I like the nutty flavor, texture, etc. and the package is nice when they come. I dont even know how to finish the box because of how sweet they are :(

If you're looking for authentic Baklava, look no further! These are amazing! The owner is so nice and respectful to all patrons but he reminds me of the "soup" guy from Seinfeld in a very good way! I bought so many and a good variety and I'll definitely be back for more! The establishment is super clean! A+ rating! Stop by and get your baklava fill on!! You won't regret it!

I always look forward to coming to Baklava House When I'm in the area. Beautifully designed baklava served to the public with Turkish coffee. It's just the best. I need to be careful with my sugar intake, but WTF you only live once. The owner is right there serving you with a smile and offering you a freebie as you peruse the counters. I rarely notice anyone sitting at the tables, I have a feeling most people come and go. I naturally want to stay because I like the ambience. I also like the friendliness of the family that works here. if you've never tried baklava, you must come here! It's fresh just the way it should be. Don't ever buy it from the grocery store. It's not the same. And if you must sit down order the coffee with it. It's an epic experience!

We visited this place after brunch and found it surprisingly quiet. The shop was being run by two women during our visit. We were warmly greeted with full-size samples, which was a delightful touch--a cheese-filled baklava that set a great tone for our experience. The ladies were friendly and helpful, guiding us through their selection and patiently answering our questions. We decided to take a few baklavas to go, and they were just as delicious the following day at home. One drawback was that the baklavas weren't labeled, so we had to ask about each one to know its filling or type.

THE MOST OUTSTANDING SERVICE. The people here are so nice, y'all. And the baklavas are just as sweet! Right when you walk up to the counter, they provided my friend and I a free sample. We were so surprised by the size of the samples too as they weren't just some bite-sized piece but were full-sized baklavas. My two favorites have to be the pistachio baklavas and the cheese-filled baklavas. They're perfectly sweet, crispy, and flaky. The pistachios were practically overflowing from the flaky exterior. They're also open past 9:00pm, making it the perfect place for an evening sweet treat.

his is a nice little restaurant tucked in a business plaza. The restaurant is cute on the inside and it is kept pretty clean. The cashier was incredibly friendly. I was greeted with a free baklava sample shortly after walking into the shop. The sweets are sold by the pound. I bought pieces of several types of baklava and desserts. Each one was delicious, sweet, and made with love. The restaurant smelled delicious. I will have to come back to try their foods.

Absolutely delicious options of Baklava and other sweets. The owner is wonderful and greets you with free full samples immediately and that is amazing. The Turkish coffee is wonderful. I'll definitely be back. The only wish i have is for the space to be upgraded a bit so we can have more comfortable seating. Definitely recommend.

MUST TRY IN AUSTIN! Humble spot with delicious authentic baklava. Reasonable price- nice owner.

Great baklava. Nice service. Place is located down the street from MT Supermarket in North Austin. They have various assortment of pistachio baklava and other flavors as well.

Perfect in every way! So completely and thoroughly impressed by all the sweet treats at Baklava House, I returned twice in the SAME WEEK after my first visit. The owners have a quiet pride in their food, offering free samples of a fresh cheese pastry to everyone who walks in. Incredible marketing tactic tbh, because after you taste how good that is you'll definitely want more. Their classic pistachio baklava is top-notch, but if you want something a little different they also have walnut, almond, and Nutella varieties. If you're not in a baklava mood, they also have chocolate cake slices and lighter cottage cheese pastries in their refrigerated display case. I've tasted all their sweets and like them all, which is quite a rare phenomenon. Prices are based on weight, about $15 per pound, but since most of their treats are quite dense you'll definitely get your money's worth. Best of all, they're open until 10pm daily unlike some other bakeries in the area that close at 5pm (looking at you, Heaven's Bistro). So it's a great option for people who don't get out of work until later!

Absolutely deserves the high rating! Plenty of different baklava options. I went a bit overboard and just kept ordering, but wasn't disappointed by any of them! If you love baklava like I do then go check them out! Worth the drive!

Looking for authentic baklava in Austin? Look no further than Baklava House! As their name suggests, this bakery shop offers a wide variety of baklava, some of which I had never heard of until my recent visit. My absolute favorites were the traditional baklava and the Nutella-infused one, but to be honest, everything I tried was delightful. You have the flexibility to order as much or as little as you want, as they charge you by the piece. They also provide pre-packaged sets in case you find it hard to decide. Despite a slight language barrier, the staff, especially the friendly ladies, went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable. They even offered free samples, and their Turkish coffee was one of the best I've ever had! While I do wish they were closer to my location, I'll definitely make the trip to North Austin whenever I'm craving something sweet.

I'm gonna say this is the BEST Baklava in the US. From someone who grew up eating baklava, all of their options hit the spot. I mean come on, which baklava place welcomes you with a free piece of cheese baklava that's out of this world!? We also tried the Manakesh, and the zataar was so perfect in flavor. The ladies there brought us tea with it and it was a perfect brunch. I will say it's a bit warm inside, but I think maybe to keep the baklava fresh? Dine-in or takeout, both are choices you won't regret!

I can only confirm the other rave reviews here of this low-key Middle Eastern dessert paradise that sits in a corner of one of Austin's innumerable North Lamar strip malls. Yes, upon entry an employee immediately offers you a sample piece of baklava to whet your appetite for purchasing several more. The many varieties of baklava are great, but don't limit yourself to those. I wasn't previously familiar with knafeh (a/k/a kunafeh), a cheese- or cream-filled pastry wrapped with phyllo dough and topped with what looks like shredded wheat (that's the knafeh) and sugar syrup, but I think it's my favorite thing there now. There are a few tables, but most people I've seen coming in do takeout. Everything is precisely weighed on a scale, and everything is worth the price (usually $15-20 a pound). The staff are polite and kind, and happy to help you pack up your sweet treasures.

I want to write the most raving review I've ever written for Baklava House & Bakery because they are SO SWEET and SO NICE. We instantly got handed two delicious cheese baklava samples when we walked in -- samples is an understatement. They were entire pieces. When we were ordering, the really nice gentleman gave us another piece because he saw we enjoyed them so much. I ordered some cream pancakes, and the manager discounted them as well as added more pistachio on top. They apologized for the wait even though there wasn't a wait. They have the best baklava I've ever had, and the variety is absolutely insane. I highly recommend their pistachio and cheese baklava. Literally heaven in a bite. Please support this small business. Like, seriously. Please come. They are such sweethearts, and they deserve all the love.

Loved it good service the food was so delicious I look forward to going back and getting more of the baklava

I came here just for the Kunafa because it's very rare to find in other cities! The place was clean and well decorated. So many desserts in the case at the front! Service was friendly, and of course the Kunafa was everything I wanted it to be! So worth the visit!

This place is everything I was looking for and more! It's a one stop shop for all of your baklava cravings. Upon walking in we were greeted with a smile and a full size baklava sample! Every single item was deliciously made & so full of flavor. This will be the only place I visit in Austin for baklava. Don't try anywhere else, because you will be disappointed!

This hidden gem is located in a shopping center off of North Lamar. I came on a Sunday afternoon and the place was empty besides a family dining in. I was greeted immediately by the people working behind the counter and offered a sample, which was a whole piece of cheese baklava, not even a sample size! The varieties of baklava weren't labeled at all, but the person helping me was super friendly and told me the filling of all the pieces I asked about. While I didn't have any trouble ordering, I think it would be great to add labels for the different fillings so that people with allergies or picky eaters can be aware of what they're ordering. The baklava is priced by weight at $16 per kg, and I love that you can order by the piece if you want to try a bunch of different flavors. I got five different varieties: - Pistachio: With plenty of chopped pistachio filling, this baklava almost had a sweet and savory kind of flavor thanks to the nuttiness. There was a nice amount of syrup soaking the phyllo dough, but it wasn't too sweet. - Walnut: This was my favorite one! Similar to the pistachio flavor, there is a solid amount of walnut filling and it's seasoned with warm spices which really add to the flavor of the walnuts. This flavor also has a nice amount of syrup and isn't too sweet. - Cheese: This was probably my second favorite, and I had to get a second one after tasting the sample in the store. The cheese filling is creamy and there's just enough syrup soaked into the dough to add a little sweetness. - Kataifi with cheese filling: I won't lie, I had to look up the name of this one, but it's very similar to the cheese baklava except it's made with shredded dough instead of sheets of dough. The shredded pieces are crispy and a little chewy when soaked in the syrup. It's a little tricky to eat but very good! - Nutella: The nutella flavor is made with ground pistachio filling rather than chopped pistachios, so the pistachio flavor is a lot less intense. There is a massive scoop of nutella on top, so this piece was super sweet. I think this variety is perfect for kids or picky eaters! Every variety had perfectly crispy phyllo dough and was so delicious, I would absolutely order any of these flavors again. For the five pieces I got, my total came out to $11.08, which is a great value for the quality and quantity of these desserts! You can really tell that the owners of this place are prioritizing quality and customer service, and I hope it gets more attention.

so delicious, ordered from a delivery service. will have to pace myself from ordering again immediately. it's so good like the knafeh is the best i've had and it's one of my fave desserts ever. the baklava and cookies are perfection, not dry, the toasted sesame seeds are addictive

Baklava House is a great spot for a casual and delightful indulgence. Their baklava is top-notch, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it a perfect place to satisfy your sweet tooth. Give it a try--you won't be disappointed!

Wow these guys are so nice. We got a huge sample right as we walked in. The baklava is flaky, sweet, light and delicious. Not sure how much baklava runs, but it seemed a little pricy. We kept joking that we were charged for the sample. Can't wait to go back.

This place has been on my list to try in Austin for some time now. I don't have a lot of knowledge about this cuisine but I was very curious. As soon as we arrived the man at the counter offered us a sample of Baklava with cheese. It was divine! I immediately asked for some of that and then explored the rest of the offerings. I asked a lot of questions and was offered samples of everything, so that I could make choices on what I would really like. The staff could not have been more accommodating or generous. I got several different kinds of pastry and I will definitely be back!

Great locally owned place in Austin to get some high quality baklava. When you walk through the doors, the owners of the establishment immediately hand you a sample to try. Some of my favorites include the Nutella baklava, the cheese filled baklava, and the original baklava. The owners are kind, and sometimes throw a few extra pieces for you as a customer. Should definitely check this place out if you are craving for some baklava.

A local family owned store that sells a variety of freshly made baklavas. Great selection to choose from so it's hard not to get them all. They give you a sample when you walk in so it helps to get a taste of what you may like. Friendly staff and clean store.

Honestly want to keep this hidden because it's so amazing, but I have to spread the joy! Niche little place that sells a wide variety of baklava. I'm pretty sure we've tried all and they are so good! They charge by the pound so you can get a huge amount. Staff is always so sweet and gives a BIG sample every time. Love coming anytime looking for a unique dessert to help my sweet tooth.

This place is a gem! The lovely lady was manning the front by herself. Even though the place was full, she gave everyone a sample, fresh from the oven. We never felt rushed and you could just tell she was exactly where she wanted to be. We felt so welcomed there! The baklava was the best, we've ever had! Can't wait to be back!

We came here 10 minutes before closing time at 9:50 PM. What I loved about this place was the staff was so friendly even though it was late and really wanted us to try the items. They gave us two free samples and were so patient and explaining each item. Definitely my favorite baklava place in Austin. I love the pistachio baklava, but also think that the Nutella baklava is incredible. Will be coming back here soon!

The baklava is AMAZING. When my husband and I came in, we received samples to try and were immediately sold. Some of the baklava is made with pistachios, some have walnuts. We tried the baklava that had cream filling and WOW it was incredible. My favorite was the baklava with chocolate and pistachios. 10/10 recommend!!

OMG where have you been all my life! This is hands down the best Baklava I have had in years. The variety, taste, textures, delivery are absolutely impeccable! Not only are they all delicious and super affordable, even on Doordash it was only about 20$! I've had traditional Baklava before but never have I seen it so ornately fashioned and shaped! The bird nest one was my absolute favorite in both taste and presentation. Everything is so delicate yet rich. 10/10 Truly chefs kiss! Highly recommend.

I live 3 hours away from this place & I drive here, specifically to buy baklava from here. I love you guys

So many baklava options! I ordered almost one of everything and it was all delightful. You can pick and choose what you want and then pay by weight so it's easy to try a variety of options. I love how they have both traditional and more modern varieties. Even though we went at 9 pm, we were still greeted with smiles and the staff were super patient while letting us choose our flavors.

First time here and I wish I lived closer. First of all the woman helping me was SO KIND. She gave me a free sample that was delicious. The baklava is also a 10/10. Couldn't recommend enough

I love all the baklava. The pistachio cookies melt in your mouth. Try the rice milk pistachio carton. I don't know name. It is great to take home for breakfast.

This place is a true hidden gem. I first heard of this place on TikTok and then one of my close friends said she had been and really enjoyed everything. As soon as my friends and I walked in, one of the employees gave us free samples which were absolutely delicious. I'll be completely honest in saying I do not know the all the different things we got, but we got one of each thing just to try them all out. The fillo dough creates such an interesting layer texture in all the baklavas and the ones with Nutella added an extra depth of flavor. Although it was definitely hard to taste the difference sometimes, each one was very good. The tables each have hand sanitizer and simple syrup which was nice as eating baklava isn't the most neat of an activity. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving some baklava.

Even though the area is shady and has some weird zombies walking around, it is a gem in the rough as they say. The baklawa here is done right. Get a pistachio or walnut baklava, sip on some Turkish coffee and you will gain an increase in your IQ to discuss politics and solve world problems.

I randomly was craving Baklava today. I am new to ATX so I did a quick google search and came across this place. I immediately drove there. The employees are SO sweet!!! Almost as sweet as this DELICIOUS AND PERFECT baklava. Seriously. Go to this gem of an establishment ASAP. Thank you, Baklava House and Bakery!!! I'll be back!!

OMG My little baklava heart .... The gentleman was very kind , gave us a cheese filled baklava sample when we walked in . As you can see , I walked out with an assortment of goodies . Area wise in regards of previous reviews : yesss the area like any where in Austin has a few homeless ppl near by but nothing to be concerned about. Can't wait till my next visit .

I live nearby and stopped by today for the first time. They gave me a sample of the cheese baklava, which was absolutely amazing so I had to buy a couple of those and a couple of the Nutella baklava. Absolutely scrumptious! They're going to be seeing a lot of me, so good!!

Yumm desserts, we tried little bit of everything and they were yummy. Would definitely go back for baklava :-)

Best Baklava in Austin and family run as well. They sometimes give free sample as well. The Turkish coffee is amazing and different than any coffee I've ever had and the pizza has a unique taste as well and Competes with the fanciest pizzeria's out there. It looks basic but the crust has perfect thinness and crunch as well as the fresh cheese and toppings that taste different than any pizza I've had. I'm genuinely confused by the amazing flavors of everything here. It felt as if I was in a alternate reality that I never wanted to leave. Location can be hard to notice depending on where you're coming from but they are on the corner of shopping center. Simply do it and I promise you won't be disappointed. The nicest people you'll ever meet as well.

Super friendly staff. They'll give you a piece of baklava to try as you walk in. I love the variety they offer; I tried to get a little bit of everything.

First time in and was greeted with a baklava with cream. The gentleman behind the counter explained which ones had which nuts. I made myself a variety box at $15 a lb. pictured was just over lb. i haven't had a bad baklava yet. The ones with the Nutella seem to be my favorite so far. Will def be back!

Some of the best middle eastern sweet around. the baklava is to die for. Turkish coffee is also good. The people behind the counter are even better. Could not recommended it enough!

The best Baklava I've had in Austin! They have pistachio, walnut, nuts, cream and even Nutella. Lots of variety, lots of flavor. If you like Knafeh (my personal favorite) you can find it here and also some savory pastries! The owner is super nice and he always welcomes you with a free sample. And it's DELICIOUS! They are also open until 10 pm every day! So perfect for late cravings. Definitely coming back for more :)

This is in my neighborhood and I was craving something sweet. Thanks to Yelp for suggesting it. This place is first of all clean and the sweet aromas are intoxicating! This lady was just the sweetest and gave us free samples before we made our choice. We got a little bit of everything and it was delicious

A hidden gem in Austin. Very high quality, addictive baklava. Will visit every time I'm in town
