I usually visit Divan for their cakes and baklava, which are delicious, but I decided to try their breakfast menu and sit in their backyard patio since it was a nice, sunny day. There is a lot of outdoor seating, and it's decorated very nicely. The staff were polite and attentive when taking our order. We ordered an omelet with sausage (which came with a side salad and seasoned potato), the egg and cheese sandwich, and kol borek - one order with spinach filling and the other with cheese. I really like the kol borek - the bread was soft and flaky and very filling. The egg and cheese were delicious. The omelette portions are generous too! read more

The owner is extremely rude. He didn't let me use the bathroom even though I am a customer there a long time

Super cute neighborhood gem! There's a huge beautiful backyard thats full of pretty decorations - has a shaded area too! The breakfast special is so worth it - you get to try a bit of everything with a huge pot of coffee. Different cheeses, meats, olives, jams, and even an egg dish of your choosing. Would highly recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

I've been going to place many years. I sit at a table and they make me get up and sit other people that come after me as I'm eating my food just to accommodate somebody else really rude very disrespectful as I'm eating to get me up because the table is for 3 to 4 people and it's not fair to me I spend money there every day. Meanwhile, these people come there once. read more

It is only one of the few places where you can enjoy a real Turkish tea. Their deserts and cakes are really delicious and more than a dozen to choose from. Their breakfast plates are worth noting especially their omelettes. The presentation of Turkish coffee with a desert on the side is impressive. I consider myself a regular for this cosy place. They also have a very nice, quiet backyard. read more

Disappointed . We've got a pistachio mini cake($7.99) it was stale , it was not moist at all and cream was not silky. The caramel latte ( $5 large) was good. About the service ... well, one lady was really nice and sweet , may be she did not speak good English but she was trying . The other lady was rude , when we asked what is inside the cakes she explained with such an attitude .... I understand people are coming and ask the same questions , but Hey, this is your job , so please be nice . read more

Divan Bakery - Pistachio mini cake $7.99 - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Normally I really enjoy this place, the food is great and the atmosphere is usually good. However, I had a disappointing experience today with one of the staff. I noticed the WiFi sign was down, so I asked the worker for the password. She replied, "I don't have it right now." When I clarified, she repeated "no" and walked away. I asked again later, and she gave the same answer and walked away again. She also dropped my plate and drink down in an aggressive manner. What bothered me most was her dismissive attitude, short, unhelpful, and unwilling to even check if the WiFi policy had changed. The café wasn't busy (we were the only two customers), so it wasn't a matter of being overwhelmed. It came across as though she simply couldn't be bothered. I usually come here specifically to enjoy the food while I work, but since WiFi is a basic expectation and I was treated this way, I had to leave and go to Shepherd's Cup, where the service is much friendlier and the atmosphere far better. It's unfortunate because I've had many good experiences here, but today's service was enough to make me reconsider returning. read more

I was following this place on social media for a while but never had any chance to come by and give it a try. Since i got my lunch from Taci's Beyti, remembered this place give it a try. I am so glad i did, plus i got myself a birthday cake made with pistachios and chocolate!! FYI, everything here is homemade. Look at the pictures i took, they speak for themselves. They have different variety, blueberry, strawberry, white chocolate, tiramisu. Also they have different bakery items cookies, buttery and flaky pies( borek). They also have a couple of tables, you can sit down have your tea or coffee along with your cake. Will definitely come back again. Almost forgot their baklava is a superb!! read more

No sign on door saying no pets allowed! I entered with my small dog ( holding my dog) the short women with fried bleached hair greeted me with "No dogs No dogs okay?" And not in a nice tone. I looked at her and said okay! As I was exiting I noticed there was no sign on door saying " no pets allowed"! I went back in and mentioned it to the women. I said then you should have a sign on your door. She said okay ( rudely) and walked away!!!!! read more

I live nearby but, I never been into the bakery until recently. Oh boy, am I glad I did! They currently are only doing takeout but, I still bought a few treats to enjoy. It was very hard not to rip open the package and devour the goodies as soon as I stepped outside. I bought two types of baklava and both were tasty. They have quite a few different types but, pistachio is my personal favorite. I also bought this milky creamy caramel topped cake. It reminds me of a bit of Tres Leches cake with a caramel-y topping. The woman on staff was very friendly and polite. She offered a lot of suggestions and took the time to explain some of the items. The reason why this isn't a 5-star bakery and I am would visit every single day is because the prices jumped a lot. Baklava used to be 4 pieces for a $1 and the cakes were like under $5 a slice. Now, the baklava is priced per pound from $10.99 to $16.69. I bought 2 pieces of baklava and piece of cake and the total was a little more than $12. There is also a minimum charge of $10/12 to use a credit card. read more

Openly rude staff. Doesn't know how to take orders instead brings wrong orders and have the audacity to be angry and blame it on you

No price tags or signatures on the display case. If you don't speak Turkish, you're a stranger there and you're not welcome. Also, the quality of your service depends on whether the staff liked you. read more

Went in there to end a nice evening with some dessert. Ambiance of the place was nice. The inside was nice with what looked like comfortable seating. They had a backyard area that was very calm and quiet to sit at. We ordered a slice of tiramisu cake with the employee insisting it was a cheesecake. When they brought it to the table, the slice was hard as a rock. Dried up cake. I had to spit it out into a napkin that's how bad it was. We let them know and they took it off the bill. The pistachio slice we had was pretty good. Decent. Also ordered a regular coffee which was definitely sitting in the pot for some time before I got it. They gave me burnt, sat out coffee. But the kicker is they charged me for Turkish coffee which I believe is a couple dollars more. Felt like I got nickeled and dimed. Overall felt like the desserts and coffee could've been better. read more

Extremely attentive and helpful staff person provided detailed explanations of all the pastries on display. Everything we ordered was interesting and delicious. Reasonably priced local cafe read more

Spent some time at Divan Bakery on Sunday morning. With a lovely backyard patio and solid baked goods, a great place to spend some time sipping coffee. Quality: A great place to enjoy a beverage and a snack. Even though it was on the smaller side, my Iced Coffee was very good. Richer than expected, which worked nicely with the sweeter treats. I also had some Pistachio Baklava, which was excellent. They had a ton of different flavors, but I believe the classic is the way to go. Quantity: A smaller coffee. The Baklava came with six small pieces. Value: $4.50 for an Iced Coffee. $6.50 for Pistachio Baklava. Ambiance: Divan Bakery is located in the Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn. They have a large inside space as well as a lovely back patio. The front inside area is lined with tables as well as the counter displaying the different treats. The back patio is decorated nicely with plants and flowers and different lights. A quiet and serene space to sit and relax. Crowd: A few couples enjoying brunch and coffee. Service: Extremely friendly staff that continuously checked-in on me as I enjoyed my coffee. Parking: Some parking down side roads. read more

Genuinely delish Turkish pastries, and perfect tea. They have a lot of very cute seating in their garden, covered/heated for the winter. I love Divan bakery!! read more

Allowed my sweet tooth to run the show today and ordered a few items off they menu. The red velvet cake was dreamy, creamy, and lush! The strawberry cheesecake was heavenly and honestly so decadent that I'll be ordering that again. My hubby and I also got the baklava which was light, fluffy, yet ferociously delicious. And that sent us to a sugar comma. I believe the red velvet slice was so large that we left 1/2 untouched and will be dreaming about it tonight in our sleep. Lastly, we ordered a pistachio chocolate cake but will update you on that tomorrow. Omg. This bakery is about to do damage to my fitness goals and I don't care! If you're in the area, you don't want to miss out on this tasty neighborhood gem. read more

Look no further than Divan's Bakery. Only around the corner from the B49 and BM3 express bus on Ocean Ave, Diván is spectacular for their baklavas, omelettes, Turkish Tea and wonderful vibe. Everyone is very friendly, there are charging ports and over the summer, the outdoor patio is open. It is also in front of the B3 bus and four (4) blocks away from the Avenue U Q train station. read more

My Turkish friends have been telling me for a while that Divan is one of the best Turkish bakeries in Brooklyn. Because I am not often on Avenue U, I kept putting it off until today. And I am so happy I made the effort to drop by. Here's why: A) Cleanliness - the bakery is spotless, comfortable, modern looking and well lit. My only suggestion is that they put up some nice photos on the wall across from the bakery displays B) Quality - everything looked delicious. I have a meat and a cheese borek with coffee. Everything was served warm/hot and everything was flavorful C) Friendliness - The owner was present and friendly. The two young women behind the counter, Busra and Yesim were not only welcoming and cheerful but you could tell they took pride in their jobs I still like my other Turkish bakeries in Brighton Beach, Kings Highway and Sheepshead Bay but when possible, this will be my bakery of choice! read more

Found my new pastries and Turkish desserts joint. Place is spacious with plenty of tables and comfy chairs, glass windows filled with sunlight. Display shows a big varieties of Baklavas-charged by the pound. Cakes and pastries on the other side had pretty artwork that goes into each decadent sweets. But, the main reason for drooling over that display window was their different kinds of Turkish rice puddings. They had Kanzadibi and the Firin Sutlac pudding ($5), it looked so good I had a hard time choosing. Ended up purchasing the Sutlac, and it was down right Delish. Also got half a pound of their Baklavas which was also really good. The girl behind the counter doesn't crack a smile nor does she explain what the specialty dessert items are, but I still want my rice pudding. Yep, I am a repeat customer now. read more

A welcome addition to my neighborhood! There are so many Chinese bakeries competing for dominance, but no American cafes or coffeehouses where you can study in comfort. Divan is a gamechanger. It is relatively spacious, with great lighting, and ample and comfortable seating. They have free wifi, a clean restroom, and an rotating assortment of Turkish pastries. I've had their beef, cheese, and spinach borek on different occasions. The employees are very nice and take the extra step to warm up the pastry and bring it over to your table. I haven't tried their desserts yet because they look so sweet, but their coffee definitely packs a punch. read more

Divan Bakery - Turkish tea and beef borek - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Clean space, tons of seating, cushy chairs, and good eats. We had a large 10 person group. They happily helped us rearrange chairs/tables and then even came over to take our order instead of having us line up one-by-one at the register. Pastries were really good and my friends said the coffee was good, too! While I didn't have the chance to try it this time, I heard wonderful things about the baklava here. So, the next time you want some Turkish coffee/tea or some delicious Turkish/non-Turkish pastries, grab yourself a plush chair, sit back, and enjoy the delights of Divan! read more

I made an order to be picked up the following day for a Birthday event. They didn't have my orde... the supervisor Binnur wanted me to order something else instead of my order that I made..She made excuse that I didn't give them the time, I advised time that I was picking up.. while I was deciding and looking at the other cakes, someone else came and she gave my order to him.. She was whispering to the guy not to say it loud that she already knows his order. You need to have honesty and integrity with your customers. read more

Cute place with a lot of potential. I was passing by a couple of times, saw ppl without masks sitting when inside dining is not alpine and never come in. This time around, I wanted to get something for my husband to surprise him. Unfortunately, the baklava is so not fresh, such a disappointment. It felt like it was lying on the counter for a while, not crispy phyllo dough with some weird flavor ( the one that shows that the prices were there for a long time). I will go to my regular place to buy baklava. I also got some small cakes : pistachio and chocolate. Visually stunning but the taste was just ok. The pistachio and chocolate mini cakes are the same thing, but one covered with pistachio shreds and topped with a pistachio garnish. The chocolate is topped with almonds shreds, and they have chocolate pieces on top. I was not impressed whatsoever. The pistachio was not that fresh already. The cake cream felt already heavy not silky. I won't come back. I get you can find better pastry around! read more

Hub brought back pastries from his co-worker. He's very familiar with the Turkish culture and dishes after working with a co-worker who is from Turkey for many years. We also dined in various Turkish restaurants and cafes for many years. Hub also likes to order and try Knafeh from different spots. I love the Turkish Pide bread! It's good with everything. Hopefully, somewhere in the future when we can travel again, Turkey will be on our bucket list! We had the Kazandibi which is starchy, caramelized milk pudding. I liked the density and marshmallow texture to it. It looks similar to a creme brûlée but it has a thicker consistency. It was pretty good. And, we had the Profiterol that was covered in a dark chocolate sauce. The chocolate was really good but the profiterol that was soaked inside tasted sour. After a bite, it was apparent, that the pastry did go bad. My kiddos were disappointed since they love chocolate! I made sure to bookmark this spot. A lot of other mouthwatering pastries from the pics grabbed our attention. They also sell cakes! I'll make sure to check out the place when we're in the area. read more

Paid $3 for a Turkish coffee 2 weeks ago, today they charge me almost $6. On the wall they have the prices as well and Turkish coffee is $2.99. I told the lady and she was very rude and did not want to hear it she said that the price will be updated soon, I told her that's not right and she said no it's fine now pay me $5, I wouldn't come here if you don't want to be surprised about the price! read more

A comfier and cuter spot on this strip- I think not. Service also, A-ok. Adorable pastel decor with giant low cushion chairs to eat a light brunch fare or nosh on homemade baklavas. I had a cheese bun from the counter n small coffee. Bun was super soft with a small illusory amount of crumbly, feta? cheese. I was hoping it was sweet cheese so maybe it's better there was only a bit. Top was crispy and had a whiff reminiscent of pizza. Adorable spot. read more

Went there for Brunch, and ordered eggs Benedict with salmon. It was really delicious. My only Recomendation I will make is , the next time I order it, I will ask them to place it on top of Turkish bread instead of a mussy English muffin. My wife had an cheese omelette, very good! I love coming to this place for a cup of coffee and sitting in the back yard. Really beautiful!! read more

I wish i could have given more stars than 2 for this place. Amazing outdoor sitting and great service. We used to come to this place since they are opened until the prices extremely increased. Paying $43.00 dollars for the breakfast platter which used to be $29.00 is completely called robbery! As we all getting through due the pandemic circumstances is not hard to understand to increase prices for the all establishments but I am sorry, $29.00 dollars to $43.00 is a weak management of putting prices. Please fix it if you want your loyal customers keep coming to you read more

Horrible service rude waiter! it is a self-service bakery and requires you to tip after you order from the front counter. The food portion is outrageously small and overpriced! Try ordering the fries and they will give you two pieces! Back to 3 Star Restaurant!!!! read more

Cute place. The food will catch your eye as you walk by! Some of the best walnut baklava I have ever had.

Staff is completely unhelpful. I was in the area for a gig and I thought I'd support a local business. Didn't know what to get with my iced coffee and when I asked for recommendations the cashier just shrugged and said "just whatever." So I didn't buy anything and decided to go to a bakery that would actually engage with the customer. There's no lack of bakeries in the area so I'll make sure to steer clear of this one in the future. read more
