I came here with a few of my family members and we were thoroughly impressed. We got the dubai chocolate pastry. It tasted great, it was decadent but not too heavy. The Borek was also great. It was buttery and flay and the cheesy filling was not too salty. The latte I had tasted great. The coffee itself was not too strong. It also was the perfect level of sweet to accompany my desserts. The servers were also very kind and welcoming and helped explain everything they had to offer. read more

Amazing service. Cashier was super friendly. Super plus that this bakery is 24 hrs!! Isn't that awesome? Desserts here weren't my speed at all. Red velvet cake was flavorless. Cute look, but no flavor. It also tasted nothing like red velvet cake. There were strawberries all throughout. There was a chocolate version but didn't get that one. She gave me complimentary cookies. There was a looooooong piece of hair stuck in the cookie. Pretty gross. But I didn't die. Wouldn't return but again, great service. Also, pretty pricey. read more

First time here. It was clean neat organized well. Parking in front. Yuge plus. Lady greeted us was very professional and friendly. Desserts were spectacular. Not overly sweet. Also prices are descent. She mentioned they are open 24/7. Hmm The desserts aren't what you expect. They are unique light. They don't make you bloated. Here are some pics. Highly recommend read more

A 24/7 Turkish bakery?! Whaaaaaat. This was a no brainer for me. I HAD to stop by. The parking situation is a little crazy. They have a lot with maybe 4-5 spaces in front of the store, but it's tiiiiiiny. I'd rather look for street parking nearby. I came by on a late Tuesday night and I was half expecting it to be empty inside, but I was wrong! The bakery is warm, inviting, and clean. There's ample seating (both indoor and outdoor). I noticed that some people had their laptops with them, so maybe it's also a good study/work spot? All of the baked goodies looked appetizing! I explained to the employees that it was my first time trying Turkish pastries and asked for recommendations. Prices are reasonable with most items being around $3-$10 each. I ended up ordering a Turkish coffee and kazandibi (pudding/custard). *Kazandibi (~$8) - This is one of the most best selling items! It's a thick, milky pudding with a golden-brown coating of caramelized sugar. I LOVE custard and pudding so I really enjoyed this. The taste reminded me of vanilla pudding, but more earthy. I also tasted hints of milk and egg whites. The texture was velvety smooth and silky. *Turkish Coffee (~$4)- The presentation was adorable. The coffee came in a cute cup and plate set. The flavor was a lot more intense and bold than other coffees I've tried! I was caught by surprise when I took a gulp of the grounds at the very bottom of the cup... but consider me a fan!!! I will return to try more treats! read more

I was really craving a fresh Simit so when I found this nearby bakery, I decided to pay a visit (a 24-hour Turkish bakery in NJ is reason enough to go). Each simit is $2.90--a bit pricier than I expected, but they had a great crunch, a nice sesame flavor, and a mild sweetness. I personally like a stronger molasses note, but overall, these were pretty good. Bonus: They have a small parking lot directly in front of the bakery. read more

Turkish bakery filled with TONS of goodies and open 24/7... too good to be true, but it is true! This hidden gem is located in a spot where it can be missed. Once here you will have the option to sit inside or outside, but it's what's on the inside that counts. This bakery boosts a ton of heavenly treats, and they offer Turkish coffee and tea. It's a winning recipe when you have a bakery like this that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is unheard of around this area which makes it a hidden gem. FYI: Parking lot is tiny, so pick your spot wisely... or someone will close you in. read more

I visited this bakery a few weeks ago after celebrating my birthday. My friends and I chose this place because we wanted a cozy spot to talk and enjoy some drinks. I've always loved this bakery, and the atmosphere has always made it one of my favorites. During this visit, I had a very disappointing experience with one of the employees. I was ordering my drinks, a woman with black hair made an inappropriate comment to me. I was just adjusting my hair when she told me, in a harsh tone, "Stop touching your hair, you're leaving it everywhere. This is a bakery, and we have to clean everything." I didn't fully understand what she said because of her strong accent, so I asked her to repeat it. When I realized what she meant I was shocked. I wasn't anywhere near the food but her tone and approach were unnecessarily rude and made me feel disrespected. As someone who also works in customer service at a coffee shop, I understand the importance of maintaining hygiene standards but there are respectful ways to communicate with customers. I really hope the management takes this kind of feedback seriously. The bakery itself is great, but customer service matters just as much as good coffee and pastries. I also want to mention that there's a lady with blonde hair who works there, she's always so kind and welcoming. She truly seems to love her job and always makes the experience pleasant. Employees like her are the reason I've continued coming back. read more

The best part of this bakery is not only their always fresh Turkish tea and pastries, but also being open 24 hours. Very friendly owner and staff. Outdoor space is definitely a great perk. I go there almost every day to have Turkish tea. They have a great variety of deserts and pastries. Excellent place to relax. read more

Great Turkish Bakery. We had a really great olive bread shaped like a bagel. And an almond dessert (like rice pudding but with Almonds) topped with pistachios and few almonds. Their baklava was really well made. My friends and I really enjoyed everything we had here. Wish calories and sugar did not restrict us from trying more items. Service was kind and efficient. read more

Not bitter at all. This was my first time coming here. They are also open 24hrs which is mind blowing. I will definitely come back here. read more

If you're in the area, do yourself a favor one morning, and pay a visit to Saray bakery. The best part is definitely the food! Some of my favorites are kaymac, börek, poğaça, and sütlaç. I also love their platter (see pic), which comes with kaymak, honey, cheese, olives... you will be in breakfast bliss heaven! This place also ticks all the boxes for affordability and baby-friendliness, making it a go-to spot for families like mine. They are open 24/7, so it's perfect for families whose little one is wide awake, hungry, ready to explore the world at 5 AM. The staff here are also top-notch - friendly, welcoming, and always ready to make good recommendations. read more

Very cute, clean and welcoming bakery. They have indoor and outdoor seating but today was gorgeous out so I opted for outdoor seating. Although my mouth watered for their desserts , I was too full after I finished my latte and Turkish bagel. The bagel was good, fresh and toasted to a perfect crunch. My coffee was good, not crazy amazing but it did it's job. The service was very fast and very friendly. I love only a couple blocks from here so I can definitely see myself popping in more often. read more

Went here yesterday when I saw a 24 hr bakery near my current location. Drove down here to find a very clean and pleasant bakery. It had all the favorites of bakery with some Turkish specialties as well. I got three different deserts that were brought out to me and presented well. All tasted very good, place was nice, and staff was friendly. Will try other items when I come back. read more

I absolutely fell in love with this place from the moment I walked in. I was at a birthday dinner and we found out at the end of the dinner that they didn't do desserts. I am so happy this place is 24 hours!! I was welcomed with such joy. Everything looked incredible. I only came for a cake and end d up leaving with a slice of tres leches, red velvet, and some baklava as well! It was all so delicious. I absolutely recommend coming here. You can sit in or get take out. But you gotta try it. read more

This is truly, the best bakery in town. The mozzarella bread with toasted sesame is so soft and savoury. The bagels are crunchy and toasty. The chocolate mousse cakes are indulgent and delightful, pair perfectly with strong and piping hot Turkish tea. Everything is beyond outstanding. The space is so clean and well decorated. The staffs truly care about people, treating customers like family - not to mention the most thoughtful and the most generous owner. Do not miss this. You won't regret it. read more

We came here the other night for dessert. The kids wanted dessert. My daughter wanted cheesecake. My son wanted a cupcake. I remembered this bakery just opened up. I didn't think they would have these but they did! This is mainly a Turkish bakery. Everything was clean and bright. No labels on the desserts which i dislike. So you have to ask what everything is. So that can be a negative since it would be nice to have an identifier with an explanation of eat items may be. Also no prices. But I think they're moderately priced. We ordered a cupcakes, cheesecake, Turkish custard and a latte. Everything was delcious. We did not like the Turkish custard. But that's due to taste. We did not know what it was. It's sorts sticky mochi consistency. Not a lot of flavor. Parking lot fits about 5 cars. Plenty of seats inside and outside. Well done spot. Caked and baked goods look great. Will come back for more. read more

All of these one star reviews are very mean and seem fake or premeditated .. do not forget that a review is based on your whole experience ambiance service and food .. not just food That being said, I think this place is fantastic I personally enjoyed the dessert, turkish coffee and tea. Parking is a bit tough but it is in the city so that makes sense. Thank you to the people here for your amazing service way to represent Turkish hospitality! I do not understand why people would give a one star review for this place.. it's a Turkish Bakery open 24/7 That type service alone counts to a 2-3 stars minimum Such a shame to see ... I hope you all succeed Saray Bakery ! read more

So I already would frequent their restaurant (Saray Cuisine). I was informed by Ahmet the manager that they had opened up this new location for desserts and pastries. As a fan of turkish caramelized custard (kazandibi), I just had to try it out. While I look forward to going back to sit and eat, I was in a hurry so I picked up 3 kazandibis to go. They have ample parking, outdoor seating, and an overall clean atmosphere. It could be a cute little date spot! I look forward to trying more of their desserts! read more

I decided to order a birthday cake from Saray. I ordered the cake for 10 people about 5 days before my birthday. Due to unforeseen circumstances I needed to make the cake a little smaller. Instead of doing that they decided not to make the cake at all. I am not happy at all with the way the situation was handled and will not be going there again. read more

I googled French patisserie as I wanted coffee and a chocolate croissant and was instead directed to Saray which is actually Turkish. What a lovely place this is. I had something similar to a croissant with beef inside (like an English pastie) and it was delicious. I then tried some of the cakes which were super fresh and also delicious. Decided to buy a loaf of bread and that did not disappoint either...it's so hard to find good, fresh baked bread and this was as fresh as it comes. Very friendly staff, great vibe and the place is super clean and modern. I highly recommend trying it out. Can't wait for someone's birthday so I can buy one of the delicious looking cakes read more

We have been enjoying bakery goods at Saray Bakery since it opened. The most special feature of this bakery is the customer service, which is warm, personal, attentive and kind, no matter how busy it is. Melis and Peri always greet us with smiles and an earnest "welcome," and attend to us as if we were long time friends. We observe that they treat all customers with this special spirit of service and personal care, though, sometimes, they are stretched, as it can get busy. No matter what, they make this bakery feel special, while keeping service efficient and the tables clean. The actual bakery is spotlessly clean and orderly, and the display of bakery goods is so appetizing. We enjoy the cookies, sandwiches and coffee/tea, but, truly, the cakes look amazing, too. Love this place and appreciate that their customer service is noteworthy and keeps us coming back. read more

While looking for a great place to pick up slices of cake and wanting to avoid grocery store cakes, I came across Saray Bakery. This bakery has only recently opened up and is conveniently located on Gorge Rd. My first impressions of the bakery are quite positive. The shop is very welcoming, clean, and seems like a nice place to hang out while grabbing dessert. The wide display of desserts including baklava, bakery items, and cakes (both by slice and whole cakes) that spans most of the bakery is colorful with a variety of desserts and filled with items that are clearly fresh and high quality. I ordered the bakalava and tiramisu. The tiramisu is bold and has deep notes of coffee while also having the traditional taste. The bakalava has the perfect level of sweetness and is also the ideal amount of crunch and nutty flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and ratio of flavor profiles and will definitely be stopping by or even making Saray a regular spot for me. Pros: - Cakes and bakery items are fresh and high quality, potentially even made same day - Bakery has a vibrant mood and welcomes customers to relax and have a nice dessert - Taste profile of cakes and desserts are clearly well thought out and gives a unique taste for each slice/item - Staff are amazing and helpful - Cakes are priced fairly for the quality and availability Cons: - The bathroom has clear glass window facing Gorge road so this could present a potential privacy issue. I didn't use it but could have another door on the other side so maybe not a big deal. Overall Score: 5/5 read more

Heard this place was open 24/7, had to see for myself so went there a little passed midnight. The man over the counter was very nice and he packaged all of our items nicely. We got the sütlaç (oven rice pudding), kazandibi, & banana cream roll cake. Everything in total was around $21. We took it to go & ate it at home. The kazandibi & banana cake were good but the rice pudding was a little watery. Super cool that they are open 24/7 so would come here again after a night out since nothing in our town is really open late night! Theres a small parking lot & outdoor seating. Place is super clean & decor is very nice! read more
