    Beautifully designed pastries with authentic ingredients from the other side of the pond. Clean, and deliciously smelling like a bakery will make you want to try everything after the first bite. Customer service was top quality and I even got a small black tea free while I waited for my sandwitch. I would have eaten there but I had to drive back. Temperature was perfect and overall a great experience.

    We had a birthday cake made at Simit and we'll definitely use them again! They were fantastic to work with, were so accommodating. Very reasonable pricing, and the final product was so so good!

    A gem is what I can say about this spot. Ma and Pa owned Turkish bakery & they make their stuff from scratch & with LOVE. The owner was so nice & personable. The place is small & has a homey feel to it. Here are some items I've ordered. * Simit & egg- kind of looks like a bagel but doesn't taste like one. Nice crunch from the outside & soft on the inside. The sesame seeds had a good nuttiness to it. You also can't go wrong with an egg in the middle; it was cooked to perfection. 4.5/5 * Fruit Tart- light & not too sweet. Good tasting crust as well. 4.5/5 * Baklava- it was flaky & freshly made. The pistachio's was very good. However, it was so sweet. I recommend to just eat 2-3 of these. 4.2/5 * Nutella achma- it was my favorite. Glistening on the outside & fluffy & airy on the inside. The Nutella was rich & had the perfect amount of sweetness. 4.8/5 Overall, Simit & Poacha exceeded my expectations & I can't wait to come back & try some more pastries. Their 5 star reviews are not a fluke & I'm thinking of coming back next weekend lol. Tip: Their cakes are easy on the eyes. So if it's a special event like your birthday, you should come here & have them make it.

    Seriously they never disappoint! Ordered the mozzarella soujouk and the spinach feta Pide. Chef's kiss! They were delicious! I genuinely recommend this place if you're eve in the mood for something lite. They also have other things that are heartier but these Pides were just perfect!

    Small, quaint Turkish bakery that I've been meaning to try. The baker kindly explained the different type of breads to me that the simit is a harder dough and the poacha is a very soft almost milky bread. He even taught me how to reheat the simit so that it can be enjoyed properly as I took the bake goods home. The simit was delicious and reheating it in the pan gives it a good crisp on the bottom. I cracked an egg in the middle and dipped the bread in it. The poacha was super soft with melty Mozzarella. I didn't like the texture of the beef sausage simit as much, but I liked the spiced beef sausage flavors a lot. As for the desserts, it's not as expected. The exterior is a harder shell than expected and then it's stuffed for apples vs. Nutella. I loved both desserts, but the nutella was definitely a fav Will return to try more goods in the future!

    Hole in the wall Turkish bakery. Homely and friendly owner who took the time to explain the menu to us. Bread was freshly baked and delicious. Perfect for a lunch spot or a morning breakfast.

    Super happy with this gorgeous delicious cake.

    I could not be more happy to write this review for S&P. Their creations are amazing!! I ordered my birthday cake on 3/28 after visiting for a quick lunch and subsequently seeing their beautiful, unique cakes on their FB page. I saw this awesome purple cake and went back in to place my order. The owners are kind and generous. I picked up my cake a few days later and it was even prettier than the pic. Beautifully decorated with fresh berries and a artistic modern frosting style (no crunchy frosting here!!). The inside was vanilla cake layered with fresh berries in a vanilla custard. Amazing flavour, not overly sweet. Everyone raved about the cake. I shared several pieces with the whole bar patio. I handed out a few of their business cards so I hope they get a call!! Thank you so much!

    They came through for us when we were in a bind. The cake was beautifully made, and the taste matched.

    I love Mom and Pop shops. It's a cute little place. I am a full supporter of small business. The breads are great. Soft. Great texture. Crust appropriate to each type. But I did not leave fully satisfied. Simit with eggs and salami. Love the simit. The bread was perfect. Sesame seeds really added that hint of aroma and taste. But the whole thing was really missing something. Maybe a spread to go with the bread. Maybe a jam. Maybe even olive paste. Not sure. It was great, but something small was missing that left an itch. Poacha with salami, mozzarella, jalapenos. This was something really close to a kolache. Prob my favorite. The jalapenos not spicy, but added a level of kick and acidity that was definitely needed. Maybe more salami would have been nice. Olive paste achma. Needed more olive paste. Bread was Soo delicious. But needed more olive paste. Overall, I loved it. But left an itch. Not fully fully satisfied.

    Great introduction to Turkish baked goods right here in Houston. The best part was that everyone from the front to the back of kitchen were wearing masks. The guy at the counter was courteous and gave good suggestions on what to try. Hands down thr Simit (round sesame bread with sunny side egg in the middle) was the winner. The Poacha was scrumptious sammich made of softer bread like brioche and it's stuffed with meats and cheeses of your choice. The Achma are soft danish like bread goods with different fillings, and I must say the salami and soujuck (spicy sausage) filling was better than the spinach. Totally, recommend trying out this place if you are in the area

    Alfajor (sorry I ate the rest before taking a photo)

    First time here. We go often to eat at the place next door. Today I saw from the outside some desserts in there and waited after our meal to come in. Without any information about this place, I ordered the alfajores and WOW they were amazing!!! Definitely will be coming in more often. I don't know how I've never seen this place until today. But for real after looking at the comments, they are not wrong. Their desserts are SO GOOD

    Left two Nutella Achma and spinach feta borek. Top right Soujouk mozzarella simit and su borek. And of course baklava on the top left

    Not fancy, but delicious. Also a great alternative to other breakfast places. They could do better on coffee choices.

    I was at JC collections today and I have been going here for years. They have two locations. I…read moretypically will stroll up and down the aisles, looking for whatever pieces call my name. Today, one of the employees made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I had my headphones on, and I was walking up and down the isles, looking for earrings for a trip coming up, and the employee came up and took my baskets stating I was not able to carry my basket around , I was a little confused since I had been there years with no issues. I typically don't pay attention to the employees when I'm there, but then I realized they were following me around like a hawk. Which I get it to an extent, but I wasn't doing anything suspicious I typically walk in the center of the isles and just look at everything. I only touched stuff if it's something I'm potentially interested in. No big bag I had a small fanny pack. What made it worse was that then I watched other people walking around with their baskets being able to freely shop. Maybe because I keep my headphones on and just look for what I'm looking for, but they felt a certain way. I don't go in corners of the stores or anything. I just go there to shop. Like I said, I have been going here for most of my adult life. I felt super uncomfortable and yucky after that. I will not be returning. The picture I attached is how I was dressed today and what I look like. And like I said, I have been going there for years and never have I had my basket taken away.

    Instead of hanging out with the kids I decided to hang out with the ladies and do a little…read moreshopping. Most of the items here are targeted for women along with kids and they do have a great selection of stores with variety in the back. Two levels of shopping but a lot of the main stuff is on the first floor and for guys, you can actually find some cool things especially when you go to the custom T-shirts or if you're looking for stuff that ranges from watches, perfume, sunglasses, or any of the other knick-knacks. If it's clothing for men it's probably going to be custom embroidered shirts or the ones with the dazzle but one thing for sure, you will get your big jewelry on here if you want, but an elegant way. Whether you're looking for sorority-fraternity, girlfriend theme shirts or a party shirt with a statement, this could be your place as I managed to get a few custom print shirts for just under $20. I picked out my design and the color of shirt and the location of where I wanted it and I am definitely happy with the quality of everything. A lot of the stuff on the 2nd floor was closed when we came and after about 30-40 minutes it all looked the same. Would like the see the stores shake it up a bit and be different but I get it and knew what to expect.
