    You know the shop looks good, but in fact the sellers treat customers disgustingly! They didn't want to cut me a huge sausage at Deli, after which the guy said you have to buy then I'll cut it for you, the blonde girl punched me in the product that I didn't buy two pieces! When I came to this shop I was in a good mood, but unfortunately people here deceive their customers, so this is my last visit here! Be careful !!!! The prices are above average! !

    This store is one of my favorite stores to stock up on Eastern European goodies. The store is clean and fully stocked with fresh items (I know expiration dates can be an issue at some of these stores). What sets them apart is their extensive beverage offering, their deli counter, freshly baked cakes (yay for Medovik) and their prepared items such as Olivier, chebureki, galuptsi (cabbage rolls) although they don't give you the sauce, and of course piroshki. The folks working there are courteous and helpful and will gladly suggest and explain the different meats. No tastings at the deli, unfortunately. Prices for regular goods are comparable to nearby stores but their prepared dishes tend to be a bit on the higher side. Other than that, this place is great and will likely have what your heart desires.

    The good: I was excited to see that there was a Russian store not too far from me. This isn't the largest one I've been to but there aren't many in this city so this is as good as it gets! They have most of everything you might look for including deli meats, cheeses, pastries, cookies, candies, canned foods, alcohol and bread. I tried two of their medovik-type cakes, sour cherry juice and brown kefir from here. The kefir was nice and the flavor reminds me of sour cream. I thought the medovik would be made in house but I am not sure if they are shipped from somewhere else based on the packaging. One of them had a honeybee made of sugar on it while the other was lighter in color and may have been something else besides medovik. I liked the darker one better because it had more flavor. The sour cherry juice was almost $5 and came in a super pretty glass bottle I've never seen before. The bad: The lighter colored medovik-like cake was sweet and lacked a distinguishable flavor. The interesting: My husband told me that the store name is the national fruit symbol of Russia.

    2/3/20 This is a great international market with selections from various countries. I came here for the ready made dishes like borscht, chicken patties, salads, and those delicious cakes. Make sure you try a slice of spartak or medovney cake, you won't regret it! So yummy!!

    Was delighted to find this Russian store with great reviews and raves about their cakes. They did not have the honey cake but they did have a chocolate cake which was great. Also picked up some unique chocolate which was really good. They were staffed by some very friendly, helpful young ladies.

    Hidden gem by Almaden area, owner should advertise "Russian market" instead of international since there are so many international market around South Bay but limited Russian/ Easter European. Didn't even know this store existed despite eating at Nick Greek store next door many times. They have great selections of everything, will be one of my fav store from now on.

    Welp,used to shop and spend a lot of money in this store. Not any more!!! As you can see from a picture ,the lacash they sold me became completely covered in mold withing 2 days !!!! Anybody who knows anything about lavash knows it's not supposed to happen, especially within 2 days if the product is fresh. Moreover ,the Russian candy that I bough for my students' had a worm inside !!!!! I guess $60 down the drain... Never again will I shop there and I urge you not to either.

If you know, you know. The pastries here are absolutely worth the detour--and honestly, wherever I see a Paris Baguette, I do pull over. That includes locations I've visited in Northern California, North Brunswick, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the one here in Charlotte down in Pineville. It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.

But do come here if you want the best - their Persian sweets are easily the most beautiful and delicious I've ever seen, but their real talent is dealing with me. I am notoriously indecisive and change my mind constantly, yet they remain incredibly accommodating. If they were ever annoyed with my million questions, they deserve an award for not showing it.

Ordering is super easy you can bring in a design idea or they'll help you figure one out, pick a date, pay, and that's it. When pickup day comes, the cake is ready to go and looks perfect every time. We've ordered at least six custom cakes from here and have never had a single issue. The staff is friendly and you can tell they take pride in their work. I usually grab a cookie or cupcake when I'm picking up the cakes, and those are always great too. If you need a cake that's going to wow people and taste great, this is the place.

(They would also do delivery with an additional cost.) An hour before our meeting time, she sent a text with the make/model/color of their car, as well as, some dessert care instructions. They arrived on time. The cake was carefully packaged and included a "Happy Birthday" paper topper. The cake was really good. It was fresh and airy; the black sesame taste really stood out; the blueberry jam was delicious and not too sweet; the hojicha fresh cream was light and flavorful. While we all really enjoyed the cake, it's very pricey, and it's a 20-min drive from home to pick it up at one of the two time choices.

Milohas (mil hojas) means a thousand layers in Spanish, and one taste of Milohas' pastries will make you understand why they picked that moniker. The Good: * Large shared parking lot * Friendly service * Covered outdoor dining * The crust of the empanadas was buttery, flaky, and delicious. All the fillings were good, but you have to try the Hawaiian filling! It was truly fantastic and had us wishing that's all we'd ordered. * Guava Finger has the same perfect crust and tasty guava jam--I could eat a dozen of these and come back for more. *oink oink* * Carissa really enjoyed their lentil soup. I didn't try it, so I can't comment. The Meh: * I kind of prefer the chunks of meat in Peruvian empanadas to the ground meat in Colombian ones, but that's just a personal preference. It was still delicious, so at the end of the day, it's all academic. The Ugly: * No indoor dining, and outdoor dining is limited to only a handful of seats.

I wanted to get some desert items but they seemed to have very few things to choose from. I would have asked questions but inside the store was strangely loud and the woman who helped me was a low talker so I couldn't understand anything she was saying to me as it was. The empanadas are pretty large, as are the prices. $17 for the two. At this price point I was glad I decided not to buy more. Each comes with a tiny side of aji green sauce. They could have been more generous here. I found the spinach to be very salty and more breading than filling. The chicken one was a letdown. Chicken was lacking any flavor. For both the pastry was dry. Was only able to eat half of each and threw the rest away. Not really the kind of place you dine in for. You order at the counter and there is limited seating inside (in a way that makes you not want to dine in), and a few seats outside. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot. This visit and subsequent review makes me feel sad. I want to support these unique, independent eateries but they make it difficult when the quality doesn't meet the high cost. Improvements would be to reevaluate their recipes, make the pastries less dry and dense, and maybe don't be so skimpy on the fillings.
