Galata Sweets

Amazing hospitality! Especially Emre was more than great and very sweet! He was very attentive and kind and answered all my questions about the menu. The food was just so tasty, nothing like it in the US , they gave me a complimentary coffee and dessert! Please always ask for Emre he will make your visit the galata the best ever! This will be my regular spot love it so much Also they do alot of live music and is a great spot to invite someone for a change

Galata is the best place for drinking tea, coffee also breakfast and brunch. I had the great experience and suggest anyone to come and enjoy them. Staffs are nice, kind and respectful.

What a delightful Turkish-Yemeni fusion experience! I tried the menemen- the eggs were perfectly scrambled with tomatoes and peppers, rich and comforting. We had the doner beef wrap: juicy, well-seasoned, and wrapped in warm, fluffy bread. I ended the meal with a cup of Adeni coffee- strong, spiced, and deeply aromatic. The blend of flavors from both cultures was incredible. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place with a great staff. Stopped in for a quick snack and Turkish coffee. Food ordered at other tables looked amazing. Also had a live musician that made the place so charming. Would go again.

The desserts were really good! But that’s all I got, dessert and tea and my total was over 100$ for a Table of 4. We went around 8:30 to listen to live music because over the phone I was told around 9, well apparently the guy doesn’t start until 10 🤷‍♀️

A great place for authentic great tasting Turkish food. The environment is cozy and the Turkish lamps are beautiful. The Turkish coffee is excellent and reminds me of our trip to Turkey. Sometimes it has live music . desserts look great as you can see in pictures

Honestly some of the best food I’ve had in Dearborn and I’ve lived here all my life. I usually come here for coffee and drinks, but today I decided to try out the food menu, and boy I was not disappointed. The staff are so friendly, attentive, and helpful. Very warm and welcoming environment. I ordered the mixed grill and the flavor was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Grilled to perfection and the marination was great. I got that chikofte plate as well. If you like a pomegranate molasses taste this dish is for you. I’ve never really had anything like it, and I love trying new things. It was yummmm! Overall 10/10. Give it a try. The server was so nice and gave me some free tea and baklava on the house. Go support these people and their lovely business. I will definitely be a regular here!

Place is amazing. They were open till 3AM, the only place actually, in all of Dearborn that isn't a mainstream large chain. The owner treated our group with love and hospitality, took the time to give us recommendations, samples, and welcome us. The sweets were delicious, the vibes were great, and the ambience is incredible! Support this business if you're looking for these qualities. This place claps.

OMG how I love this place- and everyone who works here is so friendly... I was walking around town killing time because my favorite avocado shake is in the menu for 5:00pm (no idea why but you should wait for it, it's that good) and I showed up at 4:59 annoying I know but they were so nice about it I've previously had breakfast here and all was delicious but I come back for this avocado concoction (and it's so rich, it lasts for days!! Or share it) I truly try NOT to take a few pieces of that chocolate baklava home but you should try that too- the boys are so friendly, you'll buy up everything

A very cool cafe. Nice decoration. It's a self order they bring you the food. Loved the place and the "Turkish Tea" was really authentic and I definitely enjoyed my time there

Galata sweets is a *very* well established Turkish Coffee and pastry shop in Dearborn. The coffee is always amazing, regardless of its traditional Turkish, and Americano, a cappuccino or espresso. Warning tho if you've never had Turkish coffee it is lava hot, remarkably strong and served in a stunning copper pot and cup. The setting of Galata is colorful with traditional seating with separators on the shared spaces and beautiful chandeliers. Despite the coffee being made as authenticity Turkish - they are still fast. I've been here when it's very very busy but today is Eid so it's a little less busy because many are still fasting. Enjoy

Came here based on the reviews. The shop is nicely decorated and clean. I grabbed some baklava for myself and as a gift. The server was very pleasant. I was fasting so didn't get to try the baklava until 2 hours later. I got a variety of about 5 different kinds and each was more inedible than the last. Sickeningly sweet, drenched in syrup with no crunch whatsoever over. Just soggy! This is not what baklava is supposed to taste like

If you want the taste of Turkey.. this is the place to come! Located in Dearborn, MI! Nice intimate location for meeting friends! I had the Turkish cofffee and some delicacies! Great service and there was even live entertainment while I was there! I highly recommend this Turkish spot!

I fell in love with Turkish coffee when I was younger and on an international assignment in the Middle East to include frequent trips to Turkey. The full bodied nature of this coffee really appeals to me where Galata's makes a very good and authentic cup of this style of coffee. Interacting with the staff of this restaurant while waiting for my coffee to brew brought back great memories of my younger years of enjoying a cup of Turkish Coffee with friends or while meeting and making new friends. Relative to my first dining experience here, I came into this business with the express purpose of trying only their deserts and coffee where I got an assortment of the sweets they had on hand which included their house made Baklava which was delicious and the star of the deserts I had. while eating the deserts I kept seeing these tempting entrees come out of their kitchen for other customers where I felt absolutely compelled (: to to try more of what this business has to offer and ended up getting a traditional Turkish Beef sandwich that was soooo tasty. Definately a good call on my part! Overall, good friendly service and tasty food are a hard combination to beat which this business meets in spades. If you like Turkish food and/or want to expose your palate to something new Than you should definately check this business out.

First time here and I will definitely be back! The TURKISH COFFEE here is so bold and full of flavor! There's so many different shapes, layers and textures of baklavas I had a hard time choosing even just three! And they were delightful! The service and staff were very welcoming and informative especially it being my first time here I pretty much got the hang of know what I was ordering and what were the base ingredients. They have live music and the colors, furniture, decor are all so nice to look at. I HADDD to snap some photos of the light fixtures. Definitely recommend trying some sweets and dining in.

I really enjoyed my experience here! The ambiance transforms you from Dearborn to Istanbul when you walk in the door. The sweets are great (my cheesecake was delicious). Tried a sandwich for lunch and it was wonderful. Service is impeccable. Highly recommend

Wanted to try something I never had and the salep was described as a sweet cream. It was delicious and hot. I was taking small sips so i aassumed that the cream was on top and there was another liquid underneath. When it began to cool it started getting thick. I stuck a knife in to discover that it was all "sweet cream." After looking it up, i found that it is actually orchid flour, which explains why it became so thick after cooling. I enjoyed it, but it was too much for me to finish & the texture change after cooling wasn't to MY liking. (I'd ask for less & drink it quickly.) The baklava was just as deliciously sweet as i'd hoped.

Can't remember the names of each dish but they were all amazing and my taste buds enjoyed the new burst of flavors. The cheese cake was perfect. Creamy and not overly sweet. The Turkish decor was breathtaking and I felt like I was traveling to Turkey. I will be going back very soon

Stumbled upon this place looking for some good baklava while I was in Dearborn and this place did not disappoint first time having Turkish tea. It was absolutely brilliant very good. Very tasty the milky baklava never had it this way and it is absolutely phenomenal. I will definitely be back the settingto this restaurant was very peaceful. I had live music all around. Dearborn has very very nice restaurants cafés just stuff to do for everybody.

As someone who was just visiting Michigan for the weekend, I never would have expected to encounter such an authentic Turkish place in Dearborn! But alas, here it was! When you step in, you immediately know it is authentic based on all the Turkish decor around and the delicious food with unique presentation. Menemen ($17.95 + $4.95 for sucuk) - This is like a Turkish version of a classic breakfast platter, with eggs, tomato, and onions in a plate covered with melted cheese. The sucuk (Turkish sausage) was a good addition to have some meat in there. This is a delicious breakfast option. Gozleme spinach/cheese ($6.95) - These are like little crispy fried pancakes with spinach/cheese inside. A tasty pastry-type breakfast or snack. Sütlaç ($7.95) - This is a delicious Turkish rice pudding. Not overly sweet and has a nice creamy consistency. Ayran cup ($5.95) - This Turkish yogurt drink was basically salted yogurt. Kind of an interesting flavor for those not accustomed to it, but not bad at all. Turkish coffee ($4.95 for 12 oz) - If you are a coffee fan, this is a must try, not just for the flavor but also the unique and authentic presentation. They bring the coffee with these cute intricately designed Turkish cups and a coffee pot (if you choose to get a pot). The coffee is quite strong so they also serve them with little cube-shaped sweet Turkish delights, which taste like a combo of chocolate ganache and marshmallow layers. As mentioned, the environment really sets this place apart, as it really feels like a Turkish bakery/restaurant with Turkish designs all around, including the famous mosaic hanging lighting overhead. They are also playing Turkish music. The staff are friendly and the service speed is quick. It was pretty busy on a weekend morning, but we were able to get a table with no issues. Overall, if you are looking for a breakfast/brunch/snack/dessert in Dearborn and interested in an authentic Turkish experience, then I would highly recommend you visit Galata.

Food is great and freshly made. Service is fast the best if it all is the ambiance and the live artist performer. It takes you right to turkey and galata vibes without leaving your town. Highly recommend for group brunch and hang out with friends and family

Introduced to Turkish coffee and sweets only recently. Amazed by the flavor and presentation by each pastry they have on display. Not a fan of coffee? Galata Sweets also brew tea and offer American inspired desserts like cheesecake and mousse cakes. Arrived at 7pm and the people were enjoying the music played lived by a local musician. A guy plays a flute and a female musician is playing a violin. Free entertainment. Some guests ate dinner. Their menu consists of meat and vegetarian meals. I've seen wraps, kebabs and fries on the list. For the coffee, they can brew Turkish, American and Espresso. Pair it with their sweet baklava, kanafe, cakes and cheese cakes. Love the ambiance. Baristas make the coffee fresh and also serve the meals for you. Very friendly staff. Prices reasonable. Interior of the dining area is inspired with Turkish flag, colorful lights and wood carvings. Galata is situated in corner street and the Parking is just across. Very conveniently located. Highly recommend Galata Sweets!

Been here a couple times for coffee but just tried breakfast on my most recent visit, and I'm sad I didn't try it sooner. I ordered the cheese pide and I added an egg, bastirma, and veggies to it. My only complaint would be that I thought the egg would be on the runny side, as it looked on their online menu, but it came out fully cooked like the other toppings - still it was very flavorful and I loved it. My friend ordered the Lebanese Fateh and although she said it could have used more garlic flavor, she still really enjoyed it. Very cute decor as well, and workers are all so sweet.

Love this place!! My friend and I wanted to try some Turkish sweets and picked a few Turkish delight flavors to try ($19/lb). The owners were so kind and gave us tea on the house! The candies and tea were all amazing!

Amazing - my favorite place to go when in Dearborn because the vibes make you feel like you're back home. Nice music, the best sweets and a whole pot of tea - what could you want better than that. The owners are two brothers from Turkey who speak Turkish and Arabic and English. They are very kind and even remembered us just from the few times we came in over 2 years! Can't wait to go back

Istanbul is one of my favorite cities to visit so I was super excited when I saw this place nearby and it did not disappoint. Tried the pide, menemen, simit, baklava, and tea and all were delicious and exactly as I remember from Istanbul. I opted to add veggies to my cheese pide but wouldn't do that again as the cheese on its own is so flavorful that it doesn't need the extra boost. Staff were also very friendly and ambiance very nice. Highly recommend.

A wonderful experience in this coffee house. Sunday is the best time to bring the family. Coffee is piping hot so be careful I recommend the Turkish coffee and a pastry. There are warm greetings at the door. The ceiling decor is the best in the Dearborn community. I swear the big vibe here is the music it's like meditation as you enjoy your meal and your coffee. It's a very nice place for romance too as there is flower truck outside. Staff is always happy to see you and explain the menu if you have any questions. That is all. Chief The benefit of humbleness depends on you.

Super friendly staff, they will walk you through the whole menu if needed. The place is beautiful on the inside, when not crowded it's so peaceful. I tried their desert and pistachio latte, and it was made to perfection. Pistachio tres leche was one of the best I had, not super sweet. Specially the creamer on top. Just wow! They are halal!

Beautiful place with tasty sweets! Must try their Turkish coffee in the cute cups. I loved!

This is a cute little cafe. I got some things out of the case to go, baklava and turkish delight. The baklava is very heavily saturated with syrup, so it is soft and not crispy like some Greek baklava is, fyi. I also got some kind of pastry with pistachio cream. The pastry was ok but I prefer the pistachio cream I have gotten from Italian stores, but others may like it. I tried pistachio cake and the texture was good, but it did not taste like anything. Friendly staff.

Outstanding flavors prepared with great care make this spot truly special. We enjoyed every mouthful, but equally as distinctive was the gracious service. Our server made excellent suggestions and was genuinely interested in making our experience great. We recommend Galata Sweets highly and will return when we are next in the Detroit area.

Oh my im stuffed. I had to try so many things. All of them are wonderful and of course I also had the coffee. Worth the stop in.

My friends and I were heading to Dearborn to check out the Henry Ford museum and ventured downtown to grab some coffee. My boyfriend stopped the car when driving by Galata Sweets exclaiming "wait that's Turkish!!". My boyfriend is from Istanbul and has only been here for a few years. He was so excited so we decided to stop in. The place it self is stunning! Everything is decorated beautifully with wall art and Turkish lamps. Traditional Turkish music was playing and my boyfriend said it reminded him of home. It was really busy but the wait staff was able to clear us a table within 15 minutes of arriving. The tables have fun vests and Turkish hats as some simple decor. We will definitely make reservations next time. We ordered a whole feast to share among 4! Smit- amazing! Came out warm and fluffy yet crispy! Menemen- we added cheese and sausage, it was well spiced and came out warm. Cheese plate- had 3 different types of cheeses our favorite being the braided one! Olives- both my Turkish boyfriend and Greek friend agreed they were amazing! Dips- it came with a pistachio spread, Nutella, Tahini, strawberry jam, and honey. We all decided that the pistachio spread was the best! Labneh- mouth watering and so unique! The mint and summac were game changers Manti- great but definitely not something I would order in the morning with breakfast. Gozleme- perfectly cooked with melty cheese! Turkish tea- came out in cute cups and tasted great! Kunefe- could have used a bit more cheese but definitely get it with ice cream!!! The ice cream was so unique and not too sweet. Needless to say but this place is amazing! My boyfriend raves about its authenticity and great menu. Our service was quick and our waitress was so fun! We will definitely be back!

17 bucks for eggs and Sausage? you're joking right? Brought to table overcooked and cold awful service. brought my food 15 minutes before my friends came. Ended up going for Thai food next door, because I was still freaking hungry afterwards. I'd never go back.

The ambiance in this place is amazing. I walked in and was immediately astonished by the cultural decor. I came on a weekday so it was empty. I forgot the name of the dessert I ordered but it was sort of like a pudding with a pistachio light layer on top. For $11 it was kind of pricey but it was delicious! You can find all kinds of dessert here. Overall i would definitely come again!

Ugh so torn. Kind of want to give it a 3 but that feels mean because they just opened and the dessert was good and so was the ambiance so I'll up to a 4. I was super excited to try this place but I ignored some google reviews that said food wasn't that good and it's expensive. They were right. All of this was almost $60. Now I don't mind paying for good food. But most of the food, other than the desert, was mediocre and the worst pide I've had. The only outstanding thing was the baklava. Their other desserts looked good too We ordered the menemen (eggs), some phyllio dough and cheese thing, pide, labneh, baklava, and a salt yogurt drink. The eggs weren't bad but it tastes like something a 10 year old can make. Nothing special. I wouldn't order it again. Just tastes like a regular omelette with peppers. Definitely NOT worth the nearly $18. The pide bread tasted like little Cesar's without the sauce. I had pide at 2 other places and also Costco sells frozen ones. All of those were ****miles**** better than this one. The crust on the other ones were perfection. This one was just like tough bread. The labneh was good but it's labneh. You can't really mess it up. But $7 almost for that TINY amount. That's ridiculous. Had I known it was that small I wouldn't have gotten it. The phyllio and cheese thing was fine but I was too full by the time I got to it. The aryan drink with salt and yogurt was not for me. I won't hold it against them though. I just never tried and wanted to. It also tasted like it had garlic in it. I guess it's probably an acquired taste. The baklava was good and the other desserts looked good. If you're looking for a cute cafe to hang out in and get some dessert and drinks, this is a good place. But if you want a meal, avoid tbh.

I found this place by browsing the map to find something interesting in downtown Dearborn. Galata was listed as a Turkish Bakery so I was excited to try it out. The inside is nice and they have a good selection of items. I wanted to try several things but decided on the cheesecake. Flavor-wise, it was the best cheesecake I've ever had but it was baked just a tad bit too long. The other guest got a pack of Macarons and they were quite good! I most definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a nice dessert.

What an absolutely fantastic place this is! Authentic turkish food is so delicious, service is outstanding and atmosphere is above and beyond with a fantastically decorated interior and live music experience. Their coffees and teas are all great. Latte is my favorite, so as the turkish coffee. They always make sure to serve it with a piece of turkish delight on a side. As to the main dish - everything is delicious, but especially the lamaçun pizza with meat and vegetables. Loved everything about this place and will be coming back soon

Stopped in after reading an article on Channel 4 News about top 4 doners in the Detroit area. Galetas was one of them. We got the chicken and the "meat" versions. It was pretty busy and while we waited for our to go ordered one of the servers brought us a small dish of chewy treats. They are not something I would have again. I had the meat doner. Both of us decided the bread was chewy and lifeless and tasteless. The sauce was extremely minty and needed to be dipped in the provided side of sauce. I doubt I'll go back but it was worth a try!

Amazing coffee and treats!! Their theme is, "One Bite Away From Istanbul". Truly a unique tasteful treat. Highly recommended!

Their Turkish delight selection is so fresh and one of the bests I've had in the states (and i am from Turkey knowing the best local delight taste). I liked that they give the entire pot of coffee they cook for you, so can have a little extra. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Super cute decoration and lights. Tastefully designed

Super good and delicious! Great service The dessert is yummy I tried almost everything in the menu! Lol

The shop is small but the food is excellent. Authentic Turkish fare. I would go again and again!

Very beautifully decorated dessert shop at the heart of West Dearborn. There are elements of Turkish heavily incorporated into the design. They have an assortment of Turkish desserts as well American staples like cheesecake. I ordered a caramel macchiato and they made it pretty quickly. Staff were really nice, I even got a complimentary Turkish delight with my order.

Came here bc the place we were going to was unexpectedly closed. It was a happy accident bc the place was great! The lahmacun was delicious w all the side veggies. And the beef doner was amazing. The bread was so soft, the meat tender and there was tons of it. Not sure what the sauce was but it was a great combination. Prices were reasonable for the portions. Place was cute and clean. The server was polite. Overall a great experience and definitely coming back

Amazing staff, amazing atmosphere, authentic food and drink. The sweets are baked to perfection. I grew up in turkey and consider it a second home, this place gave me a taste of that home that I haven't been to in many years. Definitely worth a visit!

Such a cute place! The food is seriously phenomenal, everything was delicious. The live music was beautiful. The service was wonderful, loved everything here!

Stopped in here to grab baklava as we were waiting to eat at a restaurant nearby. We tried the walnut baklava. Super good but I wish It was a little flakier. The restaurant is really nice and small cafe type of environment. I spotted a pistachio tres leches that I'll need to try next time!!!

Husband brought me to this place to experience authentic dessert and coffee. I was very excited. The ambience is cute. I really liked that they have national costumes for people to try on (hats and vests) but the place was super busy on Friday night, which is good for business but not so much for the customers. Most of the desserts were sold out. Tables not cleaned. Huge line to order. The dessert was good but limited. Took whatever was available. Was very excited initially but at the end disappointed with overcrowding and limited dessert option. I would recommend this place to try but not on the weekend.

Galata is a beautiful, modern Turkish restaurant on Mason St in Dearborn. It's a very clean location and the food is great. We really enjoyed the hot Turkish Tea on this cold December day! It's very rare to see a restaurant serve Manti (middle eastern dumplings in yogurt sauce) but you can find it here! For me it's the star player here, I loved it so much, it's simply comfort food. Everything was really good but I'd come back here for the Manti!

The place is beautiful and good place to hang out with friends... the sweets tasted really nice Friendly staff

What an adorable place! From the moment you step in you feel like you're in another country. Whether you want a snack breakfast or brunch this is the place! Everything was great from the service to the food everything was on point. Thank you Omar and staff for a wonderful evening! We appreciate the hospitality. We will be back!

Perfect little Turkish coffee shop, came here at 9pm on Saturday for some dessert and Turkish coffee. Very impressive selection of different flavors of coffee and tea, dessert are unique and freshly made. Service was super prompt even through they were busy. Will come back for brunch to try all the cheeses.

My wife and I met in Turkey. Eating here took us right back. The locum, baklava, coffee all were fantastic, and the more substantial food was great, too. Most of all, the hospitality and kindness of those working and welcoming us was 100% Turkish. It may not be in Turkey, but sitting inside it really felt like we could walk out on to an Istanbul street afterward. Highly recommended!

Very good sweets, great service, very nice people and love the atmosphere over all 10 plus

Check your receipt!! -I will get to this in a minute. Great food, good service, very nice ambiance! It is a small place. Located in a great area with many local restaurants. My family and their friends have been to this place multiple times and each time mess up the pricing on the receipt and over charge. I don't know if their register needs an update or they are inputting orders incorrectly. Our latest visit we ordered two large Turkish pies. Only one came out. When we asked about it, the waiter tried to convince us that we only ordered one and it was $24, but the menu says they are $12 each. They did apologize and fixed the issue and we appreciated that. So I just advise you make sure you are being charged correctly.

The food is very good, but the service is not that great. Also, they need to come up with a better way of organizing the tables and chairs. Always we have an issue how to seat around table!
