    Dessert beauty!
    Nicole D.

    If you don't know the area, it's a bit tricky to get to. It's directly across from the Dollar Tree. Very clean, bright and friendly staff. This is certainly gem! I was googling baklava and this place showed up so we took a chance. Very pleasantly surprised! We will certainly come back especially for breakfast. They have a variety of selections that look amazing! They even take advantage of a past time brand, Mister Softee! Being from NY, this is the only ice cream truck allowed! We bought 1 portion (4pieces) for $8 of the pistachio baklava and it was amazing! Omg! I can't wait to try other things Great prices for everything!

    Breakfast for Two
    Soraya A.

    TLDR: Generally 3 Star Experience Brought down by Discrimination Pros: Food is generally fine and enjoyable Cons: Bad customer service made worse by discrimination, lying, and weird stare downs, pricey ---- Coming here is experiencing misery by a thousand paper cuts. I've been going to this place for a while now. The pastries are expensive, even compared to bakeries in the Norwalk-Stamford area. Yet I come here every few months because the sweet and savory baked goods are pretty enjoyable. Turkish pastries, other than frozen, are a rarity here. For today, I wanted to finally try the big Turkish breakfast they have for two plus people. As near-always, one person at the front table is staring at us. No greeting or offering help from them, so I figured this person doesn't work here and I don't need to bother with them. We take a seat, and the workers and the person at the front table are huddled together, talking. After some time, I have to go to them to order our food. Then I learn the person who was sitting in the front was a worker. If I want food, I'm willing to overlook bad customer service, but that doesn't excuse bad customer service. And while I can say that, people I eat with and customers in general don't like being both stared at and ignored. I don't expect every or any worker at a restaurant be customer facing, but staring at someone in silence like an anxious cat facing a stranger before heading to the kitchen is weird. We get our food. This is the two-person breakfast. Looks good. The meal is supposed to come with not only tea, but a thermos of tea. We only get two cups. While we are eating, more groups show up. The workers are more attentive, and actually go to their tables and ask for their orders. Two group tables that came before us get a huge thermos of tea. I ask one table if the tea thermos came with their meal, the same as our meal, just in case there's more going on. When they say yes, I go to ask for a thermos. The worker straight tells us no. In fact, we are told we are being treated better because we have to wait 5 minutes every time we want tea that we need to wait at least another 5 minutes to cool down. Both of us stop enjoying our meal after the belittling. Being stared down, not having our order asked for while others got table service, being the only table not getting a thermos, and rather inattentive and rare customer service. All this stuff on its own is bad, but added up completely erases whatever good this place offers. The food wasn't amazing, but the variety made up for the rather tame flavors. I like this kind of meal occasionally. This is why we came. We even wanted to take some pastries home. How could we, after all of this? Wanting a thermos is a small ask. But it is suppose to come with our food, and when everyone else is getting one and getting treated better and speak the same language, which we don't, it's pretty clear this business doesn't much care for who they label as outsiders. Celebrating one's culture and being blatantly exclusionary in such a petty way aren't the same thing. We're left to wait for attention before having to get up and pay at the counter. While paying, I told them the food was fine but we wanted the thermos. This smiling worker gave us the same answer; getting a cup at a time is the same as getting a thermos, and in fact we are getting treated better because we get hot tea. I tell the worker we didn't want to keep asking and waiting for tea that's too hot to drink, we wanted a thermos of tempered tea to enjoy on our own like everyone else. The worker repeats themselves and tells us to have a good day. How are we supposed to take that? Neither of us are narcissistic enough to buy anything that glorifies us. Is this place saying people who share their language should be treated worse than us? Are we meant to feel better? There is still discrimination going on here, regardless if we are the ones benefiting from it or not. That's uncomfortable. Also, this is an obvious lie. There's obvious in-group bias happening here. Don't piss on us and tell us it's raining. They could have said they ran out of thermoses or didn't have clean ones, if that was the truth or even as a better lie. Instead, they go with the lie, we are being treated better, which shows what matters to this business isn't fair treatment, but discrimination that's favorable for who they care about, and we should feel good about that instead of grossed out. Just avoid this place unless you really want Turkish baked goods. I wouldn't stay to eat, since the customer service isn't worth the experience or tip.

    They are the nicest people and I believe this is family owned which is a positive! We also need a good bakery in the area, so I hate that I can't give this place 5 stars. My overall experience was just okay. I was excited to see what they had to offer. I walk in and there's so much to choose from. Some things familiar. Some things were not. First thing I noticed is that the prices weren't listed on the individual items. How am I supposed to know what each thing costs? There are plastic menus on top of the counter, but if I don't know what a dessert is called, then I can't price it. Which led to my frustration spending a little more than I had wanted... Cookies: I've been on a cookie kick lately. The cookies here are small and weighed by the pound. There were many varieties and I really wanted to try it all. At first, I said I wanted 2 of every cookie, but I don't think the woman understood. So we went individually. I started out with the chocolate coconut and another one with coconut, but then when she went to grab them, I guess they didn't feel right so she put them back and said to try others. Great job on not selling stale or old cookies. Greatly appreciated, but disappointing because i love coconut. At this point I wanted to leave but I chose to stay and support. She directed me to the chocolate with m&m but I didn't want them. Those were basic and the least exciting to me, but somehow one still ended up in my bag. I ended up with 4 types of cookies and only enjoyed one, which were the almond cookies. I also bought a rice pudding. It was good, not great, but im sure that is one of their top sellers. I kinda enjoyed the skin (rubbery part) on top of the pudding because it gave some texture. I also wanted to tried some cake. There were only 2 slices (different kinds) of cheesecake left, so after seeing not so fresh cookies, I passed. I went with the banana cake. It was so delicious! it was pretty and the highlight of my findings. It was a piece of chocolate cake with a fresh banana on top encased in a hard white chocolate shell! Once eating it the cake was dry in some spots, and the banana was very ripe but it was still good. Only thing I didn't like was the price. I didn't know it was $10, because again the prices aren't listed.. That same day i was also told that there was no ice cream. I love ice cream, so disappointing since their name is Saray Bakery & Ice Cream. I also saw there was possibly food, or breakfast via other review pics but I really don't know. Saw several tables but no diners and no sign of any food being served. Being new, maybe this place needs more time to get on their feet. I wish them well, we need a bakery in this area. Maybe I'll try back another day, maybe next year? Hopefully whenever that time comes it will be a better experience

    This is a really great cafe and bakery on Boston Post Road in Orange. The cafe is close to India Farmers market and across from the dollar store. There also an Entenmann's outlet close by, so there's lot of good stuff here. The cafe is really clean and seems new. They serve a special breakfast. They also have tea, borek, baklava, and cakes and pastries. They have Turkish bagels, fresh bread, Mr Softee ice cream, and really delicious rice pudding. They also have Hazer Baba Turkish delight. The ground beef borek and potato borek were good. The rice pudding was delicious! Service was good. There were lots of people there to buy cakes. They also cater. They're open daily from 8:30-11 at night.

    Breakfast platter, potato roll, Turkish coffee

    Truly one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. We ordered the large breakfast platter (for two) plus a potato roll, which was enough food for three people. The platter had a variety of cheeses with delicious bread, eggs two ways, and an incredible harissa pepper sauce. The fruit and jams were excellent as well. The potato roll was flaky and flavorful, a great value for the price. Those fancy Mediterranean platters you see on Pinterest? This blows them out of the water. I would come here again to just get tea and pastries (it looks like they have multiple types of baklava) or to share another platter. This is definitely a place where the food and service outshine the decor. No complaints but it is a more utilitarian place. The food more than makes up for it.

    Baklava
    Patricia G.

    Half of your experience when you go to a restaurant or really anywhere is the service. And unfortunately the service at this place was not okay. I'm on the hunt for a specific chap stick at Dollar Tree, and my husband asked if I wanted to try this bakery out. I'm pregnant and a home baker myself so I can never turn away from a new place. Plus, they had Baklava so I was very excited to buy some. There were two women and one man, and only the man greeted us. No one else was in the store. The first thing I noticed was that there are no signs in front of the product to let you know what the product is. There is also no pricing. They have menus on top of the display cases basically telling you what they have. In the menu it had at least 6 to 8 different kinds of Baklava. In the display case, they had 4 different shaped baklava. There was a slight language barrier, as the woman who was taking our order had a very heavy accent. As soon as we stood in front of the baklava, she started to rush us. I was trying to ask if she had the different flavors which she didn't, and she wanted us to buy a pound worth of baklava which would have been $16. Even though I'm pregnant, I have gestational diabetes and cannot be tempted with that much baklava So, I asked her if they do half pounds. To which she said yes, turned around and got a smaller container, and when she turned back around she just started filling it really quickly with just 1 type of baklava, and then started rushing us to ask if we wanted anything else. We say no and as she rushed to tell me husband where to go to pay as we were both just kind of shocked standing there, I stood at the display case and basically explained that I wanted the other ones, not just one kind. She basically blamed me, for not speaking up, not even taking consideration in the fact that she had been rushing us out the moment we stepped in. When she said they are all the same again a second time I spoke up and said all baklava are different. They .ay have the same taste but the textures are different. That's why they have 4 of the same flavor but different styles in the case. She asked if I wanted to switch it out but at that point I was so frustrated that that wasn't what happened to begin with that I said no and just left. The Baklava is delicious though. So so so good. But I really wish I was able to have the different textures. As this specific one was a little too soggy for my liking and I wanted the slightly crunchier ones. But now I know. I will check this place out one more time but if the service is exactly the same, I don't think the deliciousness of the desserts can make up for the lack of people skills a second time.

There were a few cars in the lot and not a ton of people on a Friday early afternoon. They had a lot of plants and produce around, and a huge area with pumpkins that they have priced by the pound. I quickly found a pumpkin the idea size for me, and a woman working there quickly rung me up (all cash only here!). I let her know I'd also be grabbing ice cream so we both walked to the ice cream area and I grabbed a salted caramel in a cone, about $6. There were some interesting flavors I wasn't sure of, and she happily explained. There's numerous benches around so I finished up around there, and then went and said hi to some of the farm animals milling about. Cute vibes, good ice cream!

You can taste the real pistachio--no artificial flavor at all. Light, airy, and not overly sweet. I just wish the pistachio flavor was a touch stronger. Guava Cheesecake - My favorite of the day! Tastes exactly like it sounds--sweet guava paired with creamy cheesecake. Reminds me of Porto's Bakery's guava cheese roll. Oreo - Classic Oreo flavor--exactly what you'd expect.
