    This place is hidden inside of Balboa International Market. They were super helpful in explaining what each of the baklava desserts were and made recommendations. They were really good! I liked the circular one packed with nuts the most as it wasn't overpoweringly sweet.

    Fresh baklava

    Amazing fresh spread with a ton of variety! Nestled inside the best Persian market I've found in SD county, Mr Baklava sits in the front corner of Balboa Market. In addition to baklava, there's some seriously stunning evil eyes and trinkets for sale. This is a great place to shop for something unique & authentic. You can order by weight or purchase some of the pre-packaged sets. All delicious!

    $6 dollars for this is crazyyyyyy. Nothing is made on site, everything is shipped of them from God knows where. Soggy, no crunch even on the top phyllo dough, artificial taste most likely from the rose water in the syrup. I think they used to carry better baklava in the past. One star for customer service

    Turkish Delights
    Mindy O.

    I run into this little baklava shop inside of Balboa International Market. Amazing baklava! They have more traditional looking desserts beyond the cut baklavas. We have had some baklavas from other Turkish baklava shops in the County, but this one is the best so far. Of course, much richer and better than the pre-packaged ones we can buy at Costco or Trader Joe's. Lot's of pistachios, which I understand is more Turkish style. This is the only place that I have seen in San Diego that has fresh selection of Turkish Delights, which I was so excited to find! We can buy as much Turkish Delights as we want, they will cut it and sell it by weight. It is a bit more pricey, compared to baklava. Such a little gem for Turkish desserts! The young lady at the shop was kind to explain what each item was. Thank you!

    Mr. Baklava is located in a Market! It's a stand near the cash registers! The spread of Baklava left me in aw. Sarag Burmasi baklava melted in my mouth! The Pistachio Baklava, Fıstık sarma, Burma, carrot cut baklava, and birds nest all impeccable. Disclaimer! If the cashew baklava is there PLEASE DO GET IT! By the platter I had received you can say I was obsessed! The service was excellent! He had described what all the different variations consisted of. I couldn't be happier with my experience. Baklava is my favorite dessert and Mr.Baklava is as athletic as it can get. I'm happy to hear that they will be opening another location so many can enjoy this ageless treat. Truly a gift. Also if I did by chance get any of the names of the baklava I received incorrect I am still learning as we know there is hundreds of different kinds of this amazing art we call baklava:)

    Store variety

    SWEET TREATS (3.5 stars) $15.99/lb on Turkish Baklava and Turkish Delights The location is inside the International Market that's off of Balboa Avenue. Where in the market? Behind the registers - narrow and snug area. There were a ton of selections for individual purchase of baklava. Honestly, although I didn't select any chocolate ones all the ones I picked (different shapes and etc) tasted very similar. At this location, the square ones in my picture would be the selection of choice. Ok, the square one with the white powder on top was the best... there was a soft layer of similar to bread pudding texture and taste. There didn't seem to be a distinct difference between the others except appearance. Baklava was good but I've had better. I wanted to try the Turkish delights and they didn't sell them individually, kind of obligated to spend more money by the pound and buy the prepackaged delights. And within these prepackage delights are different flavors delights so choose wisely don't just grab and go. It comes with a pack of three and my favorite was the middle one, reddish/pink with crumbs of pistachio. It had a good berry flavor I was looking for in a Turkish delight. The other two I didn't care for. I haven't had much delights in my life and mainly those preboxed ones sold at the store (fruit delights by Liberty orchards) so my baseline of a delight is a bit tainted. But I can tell you, their delights were a little harder and dryer for my liking. Until the next review...

The vibe is energetic with lots of chatter and energy. So, if you want that energizing environment both with coffee and socializing, "Lazy Eye" is the place to be. They also are a dog-friendly coffee shop. So, feel free to bring Fido also! I always love to try new places and support small businesses. They also sell merchandise here! So order a coffee and T -shirt both short and long sleeves plus sweatshirts as well to go! This is a place that is happy, upbeat, sells delicious coffee, food , and cute merchandise. I also enjoyed the upbeat music they were playing in the background. Come to "Lazy Eye" now!

It's local, convenient, and surprisingly affordable for today's prices... under $5 for a latte, which is a total win. There's no indoor seating since it's a tiny booth, but there's plenty of parking if you want to walk up and grab your coffee. Overall, such a solid local coffee spot with friendly staff, creative flavors, and great value.
