    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!

    It's a cozy cafe with lots of cakes to choose from. I tried the opera, cheesecake, and éclair, and they were all delicious. The coffee was amazing too. I'll definitely go back.

    Absolutely fall in love with Turkish breakfast!!! First time trying Turkish breakie and it was the best choice. We had ordered each of delicious breakfast menu-Simit plate, Breakfast Plate, Gourmet breakfast plate. Great place to talk, enjoy delicious, healthy breakfast especially kaymak with honey was absolutely yummy! Parking might be a challenge but really enjoyed the time here and the service was amazing! Definitely will come back more often :)

    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.

    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.

    Fruit cake and tea

    I ordered a slice of fruit cake with cream and it was very tasty. Not too sweet which I LOVE. The staff are very nice. One of the staff member brought me a cup of tea and it was also tasty and light. 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.

    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.

    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.

    Menemen and simit

    Simple, but nice interior. Kind stuff, quick service. The food was delicious, fresh. I will definitely go back.

    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.

    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.

    They absolutely deserve five stars. I am a big fan of Turkish and Greek coffee, and this place is legit. More importantly, the staff here are so kind, I always feel like they are my family. Whenever I miss Turkish coffee and dessert, I will revisit this place.

It's definitely a convenient spot no matter the time of day. The menu has a little bit of everything such as pastries, coffee, tea, sandwiches, salads, soups and even gluten free options. They also serve beer and wine, which I wasn't expecting. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice. The setup is mostly DIY since you throw away your own garbage and etc. But they do bring your food and drinks out to you. They also have a restroom for customers and a self serve tap water station with glasses, which I appreciated. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was alright, but I do think it could've used a little more flavor or seasoning.

    Okay I was cracking up about my experience here because I literally asked the dumbest question to…read morethe guy working but he was so nice and explained the answer to me until I understood! So fun fact they are now advertising Banana Pudding Hot Chocolate and it is NOT actual hot chocolate but banana pudding made to taste like hot chocolate. Why I got so confused? I don't know! Maybe I have been watching too many videos about Tyra Banks Hot Ice Cream. Either way I appreciate the guys patience and kindness when explaining it to me twice especially because I did not end up ordering that at all (though it sounds interesting) but I did get the regular actual hot chocolate and it was amazing! It tasted like melted marshmallows were in it! Perfect for a cold winter day. In addition we got to the humming bird cake, a cupcake, and the regular banana pudding. My husband had never been here before so you know we had to get the banana pudding, it's their claim to fame. And it is decent. Growing up in North Carolina banana pudding is taken very seriously and is literally at every gathering. Would this be a contender for the cookout? Sure! I have no complaints about. The other baked items were delicious as well. The store is cute unfortunately this location has no indoor seating but plenty of outdoor. It was like negative degrees when we went so we definitely did not sit outside. All and all it's a cute bakery/ sweets shop. There are many locations through out the city. I've been to others and it is consistent. It's definitely not a bad dessert spot to try.

    Let me start with the positives, because there were some. Daniel was excellent--polite, attentive,…read moreand gave solid customer service. Credit where it's due. Now for the madness. Another employee, Kirk--an older gentleman who looked completely out of place--approached and coughed directly over the slice of cake that had just been cut for me. Yes. Over it. At that moment, I honestly wondered if it was intentional. A young woman nearby immediately caught my reaction and went to the back to replace the slice. She handled the situation professionally and deserves recognition. Unfortunately, the chaos continued. Kirk later made me a hot cocoa, and when I went to drink it, it spilled on me because the lid wasn't secured properly. At that point, I stopped believing in coincidences. And the cake? The German chocolate cake was terrible--dry AF and nothing like the Grand Central location. Not even remotely close. Between the coughing, the spill, and the subpar cake, this visit was uncomfortable, messy, and disappointing. Magnolia should seriously reconsider who they put on the floor and retrain accordingly--because this location is not living up to the brand. But honestly, I believe the 2 guys had to be the owners. I love a good watch but rolex's while serving Desserts is WILD
