Would not come back ever again. What I can start off by saying we went for a second visit since we have seen through social media that the different kinds of desserts look appetizing! Our first time we tried out the chocolates and they were pretty good! This second time we went ahead and picked out the chocolates. It is a bit pricey but we hope it was worth it. Unfortunately the first bite me and my wife tried out, we notice before we eat even further, there is a rotten termite in it and we automatically threw all of them out. We were unfortunate we didn't notice this til we get home to try it out. For anyone buying, please please be aware of what you buy. I personally do not think they have these candies in check and not inspected. read more

So many tasty treats! First time visitor and was really impressed. 20+ choices of different Turkish delights. Chocolate and nougat treats a plenty. You pay by the pound so you can mix and match from all the different choices which is so much fun. We picked out a box of Turkish delights ranging from original to watermelon to white chocolate. There is definitely something for everyone. They also have lots of roasted nuts and a selection of coffee beans to try. Staff was very nice and helpful. Can't wait to try all of these and come back for more. read more

Just south of Fowler Avenue you will find this hidden gem called Roasted. This was my first time to this delicious coffee & nut roastery. When I walked in I didn't know where to look first. This store is full of so many delicious treats it's hard to decide what to get first. Everything looked delicious and pretty!! The store smells amazing and is absolutely spotless. Lou was there working and answered all my questions. He was very sweet and kind. Aside from the assorted middle eastern pastries such as baklava, and assorted nut rolls they have all kinds of candies, chocolates, nuts, cookies, spices, and ceramic gifts. If you are going to visit a friend pop by and get a box of treats to bring. They have extremely convenient hours from 10am - 10pm. That's not a typo! They are open until 10pm! Go say hi to Lou and get some sweets, you won't be disappointed. read more

My fam is a big fan of baklava, so I knew I had to try this place out! While all of them are delicious, the pistachio baklava got high praise from both my husband and my dad. Wish they had the chocolate baklava to try but they were all out! I also wanted to try some of their flavored Turkish delights, which are kinda like a firmer marsh meek low with different flavors. My favorite was the pistachio again! There are TONS of other interesting goodies I'd like to try out here, so we're looking forward to coming back! read more

Driving around Tampa my friends and I found this cute place full of delicious treats. It smelled amazing and the girls that work there were so nice. I was told is a Palestine business and most of the goodies are Turkish. I ordered a lemon-mint juice that was delicious and some Turkish delights (my favorite was the mango one) read more

An amazing place, so many great treats it's a bit overwhelming to decide what to get. As you walk in on the immediate right is a huge display of Turkish delights, further down is baclava, then chocolates, gummi. The employee is so nice and helpful and offered small samples, but at a certain point you have have to start choosing so we got a bunch of different Turkish delights and one baclava. The favorites of the things we tried were Pistachio and Ottoman Katayif, both rich, delicous. Least favorite in terms of taste were the Fig Baclava (I guess I'm not a fan of fig) and Rose Petal (looks better than it taste, it's like a strong floral tea, is not a good dessert flavor in my opinion) read more

I've heard many great things about roasted and I finally dropped in for a visit. Here's how the experience went , first the selection is enormous , I mean there is just about every middle eastern dessert you could imagine as well as candy. Even 5 years in I forget to be a little Yelp savvy so next time I'll take photos of the shop but let's get into the baklava. It's freaking great and I've had some impressive baklava , I loved the fact that there wasn't rose flavor infused because I like to taste the butter and the pistachio so that is a huge plus . They are a little on the pricier side but for this kind of quality it's justified and the service was great too. I'll be popping in again and highly recommend you as well :) read more

Roasted! - Pistachio Baklava - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Temple Terrace, Florida

I stopped in for the first time as I've lived away from Tampa for a while. I was excited to come here as I saw great reviews! There's a lot to look at and decide what to get. We ended up just buying a small box (totaled to ~$23). There's so many exciting things to choose from. My favorites were the Nutella Katayif (the slight crunch from the Katayif was so good) and the Halva (it was creamy, almost like peanut butter). Of course the others were good too, but I would get these again next time! They let us sample the lemon/mint drink and it was really good, I'm definitely gonna get that next time! read more

A great option for arabic desserts! I tried the bounty turkish delights and chocolate baklava. I'd never had turkish delights before, but I can't imagine them being much better than this. The outside is nice and chewy, and I absolutely love the candy inside-- they almost remind me of mochi, but I think I like these much better. The baklava was also amazing, and I highly recommend heating it up just for a bit in the microwave to make it deliciously gooey. When I came in and saw all the rolls on display, I thought you could only reasonably get one flavor of turkish delight, but turns out you can get one small slice of everything if you want (I still got all bounty ones though because I was too committed at this point)! Definitely get an assortment if you stop by here. The store itself was super clean and organized, as well as having a lot more options than I expected-- they have everything from gummies to coffee to spices to snacks of all kinds. Next time I come here, I'll definitely have to try the bug assortment of nuts they have. They also have a TON of flavors of turkish delight, including both authentic and americanized so you're bound to find something you like. The wrapping and packaging for everything is also impeccable, it's all really neat and pretty so anything here would make a great gift for someone (or yourself). Please give this place a try! read more

What a beautiful display of food and sweets. The store is ultra modem and clean. Employees are helpful and patient. First time in and we explored everything there. The employee handled all of our question with patience and kindness. The sweets are not in your face sweet. So nothing too sweet but all quite tasty. They have Boston Bales Beans too. I know so many other choices but this one is my all time favorite since childhood. This store looks as fabulous as the treats. Robby and check them out. read more

This whole plaza is worth stopping in for. My wife and I love to stop in for hot pot at the restaurant next door and then come to Roasted afterwards. They have an assortment of turkish delights that they update with new flavors on a regular basis. There is also a bunch of grab and go house made chocolates and gummies. The people are super friendly and they will occasionally give a small sample if you are unsure of what you are looking to get. It is also very well light and clean inside. If you have a nut allergy, I would probably steer clear though as they have all kinds of nuts everywhere. read more

Great little shop with homemade baklava and turkish delight as well as fresh roasted nuts, halal sweets, spices and chocolates. All the baklava I've tried in Tampa has been soggy and too sweet. The baklava here still retains crunch from the filo and the nuts, and the sweetness is more moderate. It's as good as I remember having in Greece or Turkey. The turkish delight is beautiful! They have flavors from the expected (pistachio, almond, apricot, pomegranate) to the unexpected (oreo, Twix). I bought up a selection to give to my parents as a gift, as I know they haven't had decent turkish delight in a loooong time. Everything is neatly displayed. I'm grateful that all the dried fruits are the same price, all the gummies are the same price, all the chocolate are the same price, so you can mix and match your bag of gummies. I look forward to returning. read more

I have been back here three times in the past week! The service is wonderful: We were served turkish coffee the first time my boyfriend and I visited. They had a variety of halal gummies, dried fruits, chocolate, a large collection of roasted nuts, and turkish delights. My ultimate favorite flavors are Pistachio In-n'-out, Katayif, and the Pistachio baklava. Other favorites include coconut nutella, espresso, cocoa, and chocolate baklava. Some of the turkish delights are vegan, mostly the fruit-based ones. Not only are the delights absolutely delicious, they are beautiful and cost less than I anticipated based on the aesthetics! I don't know of any other place nearby that sells these kinds of goods, so definitely give it a try. I promise, they're addicting! read more

After having a taco dinner we decided to checkout the Roasted store as this was our first visit. It is a middle eastern sweet shop with variety of different options which one can try and buy. The employees are very good and they help you with a smile on their face. They answered each and every question perfectly and helped us to select the different sweet options from the variety of options available. If you want to try different sweet options from middle eastern don't look further as roasted will never disappoint you. read more

Hidden gem. Came here one day because I was going to another business in the same plaza. Since it is such a drive to come to this side of Tampa, I decided to check out this place because it had amazing reviews on Yelp. So glad I did. Amazing customer service and beautiful display of treats. Tried a few samples of Turkish delights and baklava. Purchased two boxes worth to try and anything with pistachio was amazing. Also don't forget to get a refreshing drink. Will definitely be back to try more delicious treats. read more

The sweets and candy was all AH-MA-ZING!!! I haven't tried the coffee yet but it looked really good. The lemon mint drink (I forget what it's called) was also to die for. Literal perfection right here. It was super cute and upscale as well. The people working there were super sweet. I asked the person behind the counter what would be good and they explained everything. It was my first time trying foods like that so they asked what kinds of things I liked and recommended from there. I will be going back for sure. I want to try more of their baklava and I want to try their coffee!! Might update to a 10. We'll find out. read more

This was a unexpected surprise. We thought Roasted was your typical Starbucks type of coffee shop. We were presented with an amazing assortment Middle East desserts. These are sold by the pound, yet given to you in a beautiful box set. And, the coffee is top notch. If you wish to surprise any host with a unique and delicious gift, TRY these guys. If I could give them 10-stars, I would. read more

Tampa listen up.... Y'all are nuts (pun intended!) if you do not hit up this nut & coffee roaster/ candy shop on Fowler and 56th NOW!!!

They have FRESH Turkish Delight in the sleek glass display case lining the counter and it is amazing! Chocolate and candy galore, flavored nuts, unique middle eastern spices and treats, coffee beans and baklava!!! If you love sweets with pistachios in them, I found your Mecca!

Everything is so neatly displayed and colorful. A true treat to all of your senses!

Baklavas are not the best but huge selection of gummies and Turkish delights with unique flavors!

Hidden Gem! Nestled in a strip mall off 56th you'll find this little beauty tucked away. The moment you enter you immediately notice the cleanliness of the establishment, absolutely spotless. Moments later we were greeted by the warmest smile from the woman behind the counter. We just happened to be in their by ourselves and she had the time to really help us, and answer the few questions we had about all of the products because Turkish and Jordanian sweets and treats are new to us. The left side of the store is lined with beautiful ceramics, shelf stable offerings, and international snacks. Down the middle you'll find bulk offerings, as much or little as you'd like because it's done by weight. Spices, nougats, chocolates, jellies, gummies! The right side starts with the most gorgeous display of Turkish Delights, that leads into savory snacks, nuts, seeds, and finishes with fresh, roasted coffee, and a slush machine that housed the best Frozen Fresh Mint & Lemonade I've ever had! This spot is definitely worth checking out! Give 'Lotus' Turkish Delight a try, it's the most popular seller, and don't leave without sampling their Turkish medium roast coffee brewed with cardamom!

We recently moved from Hawaii, and the first thing I did was to look for great rating restaurants, shops, and markets close to our temporary place. I saw Roasted with a five-star review, and we didn't hesitate to take a 20-minute drive to check the shop. Roasted didn't disappoint us; it exceeded our expectations. The shop has an exquisite interior, and all the treats they have in that shop are so good! My personal favorites are Baklavas and Turkish delights; they taste so heavenly! Try Lotus, people's favorite. Fun fact we came back twice in one week. Also not to mention, the owner/manager of the shop is very nice. Until next time! read more

Oh my goodness, turkish delight to me has always been take it or leave it. Today, I walked into Roasted! and I sincerely cannot wait to take it all! I bought a variety of different turkish delight, baklava, nuts and gummy candies ... so incredible. The flavors and freshness are unmatched, I never experienced anything like this before?!? Thin, but pillowy layers of nougat embracing familiar (oreo, twix, nutella) and exotic flavors(pomegranate, rose, mint!) How did turkish delight become my favorite treat in the last 3 hours? I just can't say enough about how impressive this store is... any fan of sweets MUST visit this store, but double must if one has halal dietary needs. I am going to expand a LOT of horizons and waistlines with this place! Extremely clean, helpful staff and incredible selection... 11 out of 10!!! read more

Roasted! makes the best turkish delight and baklava that I have tasted in all of my travels in the middle east! They are truly wonderous :) Lets start with the baklava as most people who love food know it well. Its not the soggy, cloyingly sweet stuff dripping with syrup that you might find around town. I adored the quality butter and honey used in the baklava. As you might know, baklava is not forgiving at all.  Its all about the butter, honey and roasted nuts!  You just cannot substitute corn syrup and sugar for the deliciousness of real honey. These are carefully crafted, some shaped like a smooth walnut, another like a crispy walnut, and yet another made with deep red layers of hibiscus colored deliciousness. Several look exactly as one might expect of traditional baklava, with bright green ground pistachio layered between crispy, buttery filo, all of which adds up to perfection. The baklava is really fantastic, but the turkish delight is "edible art". Turkish delight is also known as lokum, lokumi or algumi, depending on where its made. Traditional lokum, as I prefer to call it, is often made authentically as a firm slightly gummy candy roll with pistachio nuts. More commonly, you might come across a sheet of translucent, soft and gummy ultra sweet squares with semi believable natural flavors. Not so at Roasted! They roll up paper thin layers of pillowey nougat and flavorful lokum incredibly interspersed with flavorful cremes and nut fillings in a way that I have never seen. The sample box contained 12 pieces of lokum. The pieces are large and easily divided into smaller slices to share and savor though one might be tempted to eat the entire piece.  The color is oftentimes a tip off to the flavor. For example, the pink roll with the brown filling is strawberry lokum with a yummy chocolate filling. The roll containing chunks of dark cookie is made with oreos, which together is far superior than eating oreos any other way. Another has a deep red hibiscus colored paper thin lokum wrapped around roasted cashews. The tart/sweet flavor of the lokum was a delight paired with the mild creamy nuts. Another had a solid hazelnut creme (think nutella) filling encased in in lokum reminiscent of marshmallows. The box also featured a solid nugget of nougat, traditional and classic with a good chew and delicious pistachio nuts. The shipping was impressive with the double boxing and sealed with lashings of seran wrap. There are so few stores that make products that are world-class present in the Tampa Bay area. Roasted! sweets are artistically beautiful and masterful both in appearance and taste comparable in every way to the venerable William Dean Chocolates that always delight me. Its for good reason that Sue Carleton's lovingly written ode to Roasted! landed on the front page of the Tampa Bay Times accompanied by a giant color photo that induced me to order immediately and without hesitation a box each of baklava and turkish delight. The best part? My box included a hand written card by owner Loai Kader with a complimentary chocolate proclaiming me his brother! I am honored.  Needless to say that I will be ordering again soon. read more
