They also have very interesting breads beyond the traditional Chinese bakery breads. Examples I've tried before: curry bread, tuna bread.

Currently, I'm on a mission to try different types of toast. I'll pick up a loaf of their coconut toast next time when I'm done with my current loaf, it was quite affordable at about $3-4.

I've been…read moreto their New Jersey location (in Paterson in a strip mall) noting that they have some of the best Turkish baklava period. The woman in here was patient and she was friendly enough to the newcomers who hadn't had the varieties of baklava. I got two types of pistachio baklava; Fıstıklı sarma/pistachio roll and special fıstıklı/double pistachio. It was around 10$ for several pieces though I did get the fancier varieties as pistachio rolls tend to cost a lot more. The baklava was of course excellent though it's hard to justify going this far to Bay Ridge just for it (I believe a certain overpriced grocery store on Atlantic Avenue sell their products.) They also sell künefe also known as knafeh or kunafeh (among many other names depending on country.) The Turkish version here comes either normal or special which is topped with pistachios. I previously had it from their other location and if it's anything as good as in Jersey, I would highly recommend it and the portion size is more than reasonable for the price. They make probably the best Turkish variety I've ever had of it though I prefer the Middle Eastern version with rosewater and either semolina or shredded filo. Finally, they also notably selling Turkish ice cream; also known as Maraş dondurması (or in short Maraş or dondurma.) This ice cream is notably chewy and thick from the additions of salep and mastic which provides a fun texture. There aren't that many other places selling this I would have gotten some but I stuck with the baklava and they only had the larger containers of them. Good little specialty Turkish dessert spot. If you're in the area, I would definitely go to pick up some of their outstanding baklava or the other two things. Mid 4.

I came here the other day because I had a BAD craving of kunafa that absolutely had to be fulfilled…read moreor it felt like my world was gonna fall apart. I have read a lot of praises for Antepli's made to order kunafa and called ahead of my arrival to go pick up this kunafa. My first thoughts were, wow the exterior is really crispy. This kunafa is really made with care and attention to detail and it shows. However, the flavors left me disappointed. First of all, the dough has excess of butter. When you bite in you get a mouthful of grease which is unpleasant. Secondly, the ratio of cheese to dough is way off. I expected this kunafa to have way more cheese and the cheese they use also tastes like ... nothing? No saltiness to contrast the crunch or the sweetness of the syrup. Speaking of syrup - there is just not enough of it or it is just not sweet enough. When I think of authentic Turkish kunafa I think of the cheesy salty-sweet wonder that is Harfiz Mustafa in Istanbul. This kunafa does not come close and I hate to write this because it truly did make me sad. The baklava on the other hand - very very good. Heavy on the pistachio and not too crazy sweet, but definitely needs a buttier flavor. I think the whole shop would benefit from using a little bit more aromatics like orange blossom in their syrups. I do also wish they had seating so you can enjoy your sweet treat. Despite all these notes, this is still a solid shop to get your dessert fix.

I've been going to Il Fornaretto's 17th Avenue location in Bensonhurst for years, and I can…read moregenuinely say they make my favorite bread anywhere. Their Prosciutto Bread is my personal favorite -- cubed prosciutto, black pepper, cheese, and incredibly soft fresh bread. It's honestly good enough to be a meal by itself. I recently visited their 5th Avenue location in Bay Ridge, and what makes this spot even better is that it's not just a bread store -- it's a full bakery. The Onion Bread was fantastic, with sweet caramelized onions over soft focaccia. The Olive Bread, made with imported Sicilian black olives, had a great crust outside while staying soft and pillowy inside. Their seeded Semolina Twist is another must, especially warmed up with some butter or good olive oil. The sweets were just as impressive. The cannoli are filled to order, which makes a huge difference -- crispy shell and a delicious creamy filling. The pistachio croissant doughnut was buttery, soft and packed with pistachio cream, while the pistachio Cookie Tart was probably one of the most unique things I tried. The Biscoff Cake was also excellent and definitely worth trying if you're a Biscoff fan. And I can't forget the round focaccia with tomato sauce and onions. Warm that up slightly and it becomes seriously addictive. Il Fornaretto has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and after visiting the Bay Ridge location, I have even more reasons to recommend them. Whether you visit Bensonhurst strictly for the bread or Bay Ridge for the full bakery experience, this is absolutely a place worth checking out.
