Pasha Castle Sweets

A quiet and clean shop with friendly staff. There are many ice cream flavors to choose from — I really liked the pistachio! 💚 A small cup costs $7 and comes with three scoops (you can pick three flavors). I also bought some Middle Eastern sweets to take home — six pieces for $20. The price is quite reasonable since these desserts usually cost more due to the ingredients and the complexity of making them. The selection isn’t huge, but everything I tried was delicious. ✨

Pasha Castle serves 16 kinds of tasty ice cream — $7-something gets your choice of three scoops. Pop in to sample the delicious kake, iced cream, and maybe even the wide range of Turkish delights, baklava and more. They offer sweet and savory crepes too. Hours are around 10am to midnight. Friendly service and nice interior with lovely music. #illbeback

We got a box of their sweets and they were so good! The worker was extremely nice and helpful, we had no idea what to get, but our box of goodies has made us happy all day. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect place to stop in for a sweet treat in the Eastern Market / Capitol Hill area! It’s less than two blocks from the Eastern Market metro stop, and definitely worth a visit. Ice cream was amazing, especially the ashta, which had a nice rosewater flavor. I also tried three different varieties of Turkish delight, and they were all delicious too. Prices were good - only $7-something for a cup with three different flavors of ice cream, and $7-something for a small box containing 8-9 pieces of 3 different varieties of Turkish delight. Inside, the seating area is larger than it looks in pictures - there is a lot more seating than I expected. It’s also super cute, and the music is good, so it’s a nice place to sit and enjoy your dessert. Overall, this has easily become one of my favorite dessert places in the area and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

The knafeh was warm and perfectly balanced in sweetness, and the maamoul cookies were tender with just the right amount of sweetness. The staff welcomed me with warm smiles and were eager to share the stories behind each dessert. If you’re in the dc area and have a penchant for Middle Eastern sweets, this gem is a must-visit.

The best ice cream /crepe /baklava place in dc

I’m so happy to see Pasha Castle Cafe on Capitol Hill!! Such a cute shop, and the baklava and Turkish Delight is super delicious 😋

Not just an ice cream shop. With authentic Turkish coffee, baklava and Turkish delight, its an awesome addition to the neighborhood.
