Mr. Sweets bakery and pastries

YUM! Stopped by for the first time today and absolutely will be coming back. The owner was friendly and kind. Brought home a tray of goodies. So delicious.

Best sweet shop in Az Halal and best price 👌 I highly recommended this place

I liked the verity of selection of Baklava and they Alamo have a very tasty ice cream everything is made in house love lt

Mr. Sweets did not show up to my wedding to deliver the desserts and fruits, even after I went in three times to confirm my order. He was kind enough to provide desserts for my family the next day, but it doesn’t make up for missing a major event we were excited for. I had to chase a refund the Monday after my wedding, was told 7–14 days, and it never came. I ended up having to file a dispute because the refund was never received. As a bride, the headache is not worth it. Brides and anyone planning major events, be warned.

I work for a local food distributor and we order their pastries by the truck load! The baklava is second to none! Always fresh and always tasty! If you love baklava, you have to stop in try all their treats! The ice cream is heavenly. If you’ve never had baklava, what are you doing with your life? Stop in today!

Paid him $1800 to cater desserts for our wedding and he never showed up. Then he “refunded” our money which never actually came back to our credit card even after calling him multiple times asking about it. After 2 weeks, I ended up disputing the charges with my credit card company to finally get my money back. Terrible experience.

If you’re looking to try the “viral Dubai chocolate”, don’t get it from here. I bought it from Mr Sweets after seeing a girl’s TikTok video reviewing it. Unfortunately, my chocolate bar looked nothing like the one in her video. The filling looked completely different, there wasn’t much of it, and no crunch, and tbh just looked sloppy. She posted her video one week ago so it appears like the quality is not consistent and for $14 a chocolate bar, I would hope that it would be. I also put in the order last Friday, July 26 and it wasn’t ready until today, Tuesday July 30. Honestly, it seems like they just slapped something together quickly even though I ordered in advance. Waste of $28.

The Dubai candy bar was good last year but this year they made some changes. It's just not good anymore. Cheap tasting chocolate and less filling. Less sweet.

I am so happy I found this place. Everything I got was amazing and the staff were so kind. I got a 1 lb box of different varieties of baklava yesterday and I have to admit I've almost eaten them all. They also have chocolate baklava which I have never had before but will definitely get more off next time! I cannot recommend this place enough.

Oh my lanta! Ecstatic I found this gem! Just googled dessert near me and this popped up. I absolutely love baklava and have been on the search for a good place to get that since my favorite bakery shut down. They have so many options. It is absolutely delicious.! But they have so much more than baklava, cakes, cookies, all kinds of pastries. Everything is absolutely delicious and fresh!! She even gave us free samples. The best Customer Service so patient and polite while she answered all my questions! Plus the prices are outstanding!! I was shocked I got so much for my money!I just found my new favorite bakery!!

I drove an hour to have their baklava . It was not only disappointing to look at, I could tell by just looking at them it was no good. So I decided to try a couple before I judge. It tasted just as bad. It was dry and tasteless. Will not be making this long trip back here. There is a restaurant and grocery store all in the same building so you may find that to your liking.

Love this place, they moved from their original location, we're so happy we found them again because we thought they closed. Love all their pastries , I especially love their kanafe , they have different types from different regions of the Middle East. They make manaeesh and cheese and meat pies on the weekends, so delicious. This place is clean friendly and delicious

Omg so glad I stopped in on a whim. I just happened to be driving by and I love to try new bakeries so I stopped in. All the bakery cases were full of yummy colorful beautiful sweets. These are not American sweets. You will find baklava, kataifi, lots of nut based desserts, and Dubai chocolate. I picked up two pieces of baklava, a slice of cake, and this creamy rosewater pudding that kind of reminded me of Panna cotta. All of that was only seven dollars and it was so delicious. The baklava was out of this world... Full of filling and not overly sweet like baklava can be. The cake was light and fresh and the pudding was different and unique but so creamy and comforting and delicious. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place!

Amazing Turkish pastries! We wanted to try everything but we settled on a pound of their baklava variety. They melt in your mouth! So delicious!

We bought several trays of walnut and pistachio baklava for our wedding this weekend (my husband is Greek)- they tasted AMAZING!!!! All of our guests were raving about how delicious they were. They were so easy to place an order with. Highly recommend!!!

Got the Dubai chocolate and a couple of other small goodies. Really good! And the guy was helpful in picking the items since there is many to choose from.

Their location is slightly wrong. They have a big Jerusalem sign but its not 100% accurate on the map. Really good prices for fresh baked bread

Awesome pastries. We tried Baklava and other pistachio pastries and it was delicious. We catered for an event and everyone liked it. Definitely recommend to try pastries from this place.

Wanted a late night treat but im skeptical of baklava because I was so spoiled by my neighbors amazing baklava growing up. I got a chocolate bar and pound of variety baklava. I'm SO glad we stopped here, everything was DELICIOUS. Between my family and I the pound of baklava went fast. I can't wait to go back!

Love Mr. Sweets my girlfriends recommended this place and it is amazing! I come here for their baklava trays to give to my clients and they rave after every bite. Beautiful pastries and the staff is helpful and very kind.

Of course the most authentic Baklava & Middle Eastern pastries ever in Phoenix! What a true gem! Michael, the owner & baker, is very kind & considerate AND talented!!!! My next wedding cake will be made here!!!!

Such a treat - found myself near this little Middle Eastern bakery/grocery store & stopped in to indulge my sweet tooth! I bought a Pistachio Baklava & slice of Cheese Khafeh. Then surprise! Michael the baker gave me a Walnut Finger & a Maamoul Cookie to sample. The Walnut Finger & Pistachio Baklava are familiar: phyllo dough, honey, butter, & nuts. I munched on those right away. Cheese Khafeh is a whole mood: it looks "simple" but put it in the microwave & it transforms. Khafeh's topped with phyllo crumbs & filled with cheese that melts when heated. Drizzle honey on top & it's ooey/gooey/scrumptious. This was my "experimental" order b/c I saw it, had no idea what it was , but wanted to try it. Jury's still out on the Maamoul Cookie: it kind of looks like a madeleine so it's cookie on the outside. Filling is a combo of mixed nuts, rose water & something else - maybe pureed dates - & almost tastes like wine. (3.31.21: I learned from an acquaintance who's Middle Eastern that they flavor them w/ "mahleb." Mahleb is the ground up seeds inside a cherry pit, made into a powder to give flavor of cherry/almond. Fascinating!) This is also a sweet spot to eat LUNCH: falafel, chicken shawarma, gyros and other savory dishes. The grocery story/butcher shop that connects to the bakery features groceries, frozen foods, FIVE different brand of filo/phyllo dough. Love to come back with Middle Eastern/international recipes in mind so I can buy the specific ingredients needed. Definitely an unexpected find!

Greenway and 35th ave, on the Northwest side. I had been looking for a new sweet place and took the advice of my fellow Yelpers from the "Collections" in Yelp! Ordered a variety of sweets to taste and also a Christmas treat for my Stylist, it was a mixture of baklava, which was mighty tasty and fresh. I got the mixture but you can order whatever you desire and plenty to pick from. It did look like the bakery was also a mini mart and deli, may need to go back and try more items. Service, was helped very quickly and super friendly.

Ok here is the honest truth great service, nice family owned business ambiance is middle eastern style store anything and everything is there food, tea pots and tea cups, frozen meats. While the other side has the sweets which is 4/10 when you grab it on the spot. But, for some reason when you order it and pick up it's 10/10. Idk ‍ why honestly. Also there is a restaurant as well I know it's a lot but that's a Middle Easterner store you it's literally a one stop shop. Enjoy

We were really disappointed in this place. We got a container of jelly filled cookies. They were extremely stale and old. No expiration date on the packaging and my lady but into a hair! We left the rest on top of your dumpster outside your trash bakery. The Turkish delight was old and gross. I also ordered a cannoli. The bread was soggy and it was days old. I just read other reviews about your stale old pastries ,so you know it is an issue you continue to serve your customers trash! That is a horrible business plan!!! You all deserve to go out of business. I hate to trash a small business ,but I also hate to feel ripped off!

My favorite spot to get baklava! Their warm knafeh with syrup on top is always a go to. Amazing staff, the owner and son were so friendly and quick to help us.

Fantastic food, great service, friendly staff. It shares a building with Jerusalem Market, which has tons of variety in foods, snacks, and miscellaneous items from different cultures in the middle east.

I wouldn't bother coming here if you want to try the viral Dubai chocolates. They make you call in beforehand to place an order, which I did. When I showed up, there were about 4 people already waiting, and the workers just kinda stare at you. I was told to wait 10 minutes for the chocolate, so I sat down. 10 minutes go by, nothing. The workers were just in the back and none of them came out afterwards. 1 of the other people waiting told me that they called ahead as well and she's been waiting for 40 minutes for her chocolate, and the other woman who was there was waiting for 20 minutes and they were both told 10 minutes. Keep in mind, outside of these 2 people, there's at least 3 more people waiting before me. How are you going to have people call ahead to reserve things and then not even have it ready, plus have people wait forever? Bad customer service. I walked out and left. Based on the other reviews it looks like the chocolates are mediocre anyway so it just wasn't worth the hassle or the time. Go somewhere else

Genuinely the best baklava I've ever had, the owner was super nice, I will be making this place a regular spot. It deserves more attention.

I was disappointed when I got here I drove 20 minutes thinking I was going to get there and see all the different flavors of gelato like they have on their website I get there and they just have regular ice cream I asked the guy I saw this picture on your website he said that they took it from someone else I was really bummed out I thought I was getting what I saw really nice people tho but I think you guys should take this picture down because that's not what you guys serve

These pastries are amazing! Makes me miss my moms baking they have baklava trays you can purchase as well!

I had a slice of heaven pie .. it was some Philo filled with some type of cheese and pistachio on top.. not too sweet , I think I inhaled that slice after first bite .. I will be going back.

Horrible baklava. Some were either burnt the others were bought were old. Can taste the oil that they use. Stuck to the roof of my mouth. Very disappointed, I grew up on this stuff.

Super bummed out.i was so excited to try this. Not a lot of people in there and all the staff straight ignored me.i don't know if it was because I'm a white woman wearing shorts and a tshirt in 95 degree weather but everyone else was being served. I was the only person that wasn't middle eastern. After being ignored for ten minutes I finally walked out. Never experienced prejudice and discrimination before but that's exactly what it felt like

I came in to see what they had and they gave me a whole jalabi to try. I bought an assortment of baklava and a meat kabob for an Iraqi friend. He said it was better than his mothers! It was fresh and wonderful. I won't go anywhere else.

Delicious!!!! Wonderful bakery and friendly staff. They have a large variety of goodies and everything is good. Clean atmosphere and great service.

This was the worst place you could ever go to all the pastries are old, the baklava is dry horrible I would never go back , it's supposed to bring back memories of home nothing here is delicious they don't use gloves i was discussed!!!!

Everything is sooooo good. The guy at the counter is really nice and offered samples.

Obsessed with this little gem , the best baklava in town, homemade gelato and other sweets! Owner is very nice moved from Michigan, definitely knows his stuff! Great customer service, everything is super fresh and baked daily! Grateful that there is a place liked this here, cant compare to those supermarket bakeries!

Nice people, great birthday cake ! Give this business a try and it's worth the effort

Dear fellow YELPsters, please know that I do not have a "sweet tooth" that haunts me every day of my life !!! HOWEVER, every now and then, I do crave a sweet dessert (usually bakery-based in nature)... I do not want to consume an 8-oz. chocolate bar nor a 1/2 gallon of ice cream.....I want pastry !!!!!! That being said, I make a "bee-line" for Mr. Sweets...What is convenient is that they share store space with "Palms Kabobs", a Middle Eastern deli/restaurant. OK, OK, let's talk "sweets". I love Mr. Sweet's creations !!!! I appreciate how they maintain and keep their dairy-based fillings refrigerated while they are "under glass". EVERY SINGLE ITEM I have purchased from Mr. Sweet has tasted fresh and "new". In fact, I will probably stop by there tomorrow and pick up something for my weekend !!!

Exotic and affordable mixed delicacies! It was fun shopping the international market as well

The baklava was to die for! The best I've ever had! I will try the food the next time I visit. The owners son was extremely helpful and polite and the place was spotless

Their Baklava is seriously a work of art. It is absolutely delicious. If you love Baklava, look no further.

I drove 30 minutes during my lunch hour to take my son because he wanted to try the turkish delight. Upon arrival, there was a heavy set man at the register flirting with a customer. I only had very limited time to be there and I asked where I could find the turkish delight. The man at the register told me" go over there" as he pointed to an aisle with turkish delight that was prepackaged. We drove all the way there to try the one that is fresher and not in a box. I had to ask this unprofessional man several questions before he directed me to the side of the shop where they have the fresher turkish delight. We bought several kinds of turkish delight and went home. The turkish delight was insipid, very chewy and gave us both a stomache. Never again will we return especially after the unprofessional and uncouth behavior of the owner. I guess he was angry that his flirtation attempt was interrupted. What a waste of our time and money.

I keep driving past this place and telling myself "you need to stop and check it out". After seeing their treats on FB, I rushed there at 9am with my bf to finally check them out. The man running the shop greeted us warmly as we stood in awe over all the handcrafted deserts. We began ordering 2 of this, 2 of that, and he pulled out samples for us to try before buying. Our mouths were in heaven. He then told us that it would be cheaper to order a tray of 12pc of our choice for 14.00, rather than pay 1.50-2.00 each. What a deal!!! We ordered our 12pc of assorted baklava, and got a huge slice of shredded phyllo dough with cheese. He asked if we wanted crushed pistachio sprinkled on top too...of course we do! 16.00 out the door for 24.00 worth of yummy hand crafted treats. Please check them out, you won't regret it

Delicious variety of Middle Eastern desserts (birds' nest, kattaife, and balourieh were the ones I tried) at insanely cheap prices. If you want something different from "typical" bakery fare, check out this hole-in-the wall shop.

Heaven. If you like middle eastern food or like to try different foods you gotta come here. They have fresh made Turkish Delight (I have been told several times this is only good if it is fresh made) and other similar treats. Baklava - various kinds with walnuts or pistachios (very different flavors). And gelato / ice cream - very creamy. The flavors we had to choose from were rose water,pistachio, and baklava. We had the rose water gelato - it was wonderful with layered flavors that burst in your mouth. We tried two Turkish delights - one honey and one pomegranite. Both were wonderful and very different flavorings. Again there was complexity to the flavors. They were firmly chewy with a nice texture. We tried two baklava's - one walnut and one pistachio. Again very different flavors - the baklava dough is the best I have ever had and I have had lots of homemade baklava over the years. We bookmarked this as a favorites and will have to make excuses to come out this way so we can stop by again.

I usually think baklava is way too sweet. Not here. It's perfection!! Get a variety box to go. The staff is very helpful and kind (they are always excited to see us and give my kids a sample). Hidden gem I wish I'd found years ago.

Best baklava ever you can get in AZ!! :P Thanks Mr Sweets... Wish they have more convince location closer to S. Gilbert :(....

The flavors are bland and taste bland. It's been sitting out for who knows how long till the sweets become stale and hard to chew. First and last time being there. The pistachio colors are too green looks like grass and can tell they've been dyed ugh waste of money. The customer service isn't that great and no greetings. Save your money and go else where if you want fresh sweets.

The BEST baklava in Phoenix what more can I say? I don't WANT to write anymore! It's the BEST, end of story!!!!

Staff is very friendly, and the pastries are very good! I would recommend them to anyone to at least try it once. They also have a gyros restaurant in the same facility. Great food as well! Will be coming back here for sure!

The baklava is great. Plus authentic cuisine I love the chicken shwarma plate! Feels like your visiting someone's dining room at home. Great service as well.

Was looking for Middle Eastern Icecream. Lebanese or Turkish which are "chewy." This store makes their own icecream and it was excellent with the correct texture. We ended up getting a variety of pastries too which were delicious. As we were leaving we noticed the other half of store offers hot food and decided to try a carry out. One of the best Gyros I have had and my wife had a Falafel sandwich which was too spicy for her. We will go back to sample more of their menu.

Our favorite go -to place for middle eastern pastries. Also has "chewy" middle eastern ice cream ( I love the texture in ice cream). AND sharing the store is the Palms (carry out because of Covid)

Love this place! Come here with my wife and the baklava's amazing! Highly recommend this place best in Arizona by far!
