This place is great for Turkish breads and pastries. A nice area to sit and eat, many options to choose from. Inside is all renovated nicely. Just make sure you know what you want. I made sure by looking at their website, which gives a very clear idea of what each product is, because I don't know anything about Turkish food, but it was very good. The person that helped me was very nice read more

All food items we try are great! They never disappoint. I've tried their Lahmachun (), Spinach & Feta Borek, Meat Borek, Potato Borek, and breads, all 5s. If you dine-in, they heat up your order & serve it to you. Other than the tea, I have not tried any of their store-made drinks, other than tea, which I did not like. They also carry pre-packaged juices / sodas / dairy drinks. The restrooms & dining area are clean, the team cleans up after guest in a timely fashion. Definitely give them a try! read more

Absolutely beautiful inside, you don't realize how big it is until you walk in and make a right turn. The high ceilings and decor on the walls is stunning. They have all sorts of breads, cookies, pastries and drinks. Some of their full cakes are so beautifully crafted. One of the cleanest establishments I have been to. It was being cleaned nonstop, there isn't a speck of dust in there. Got the meat pide, lahmacun, kare baklava and tulumba, Turkish tea and Turkish coffee. Everything was perfect. Dropping a star because there isn't a system to order food. It becomes confusing because you can't tell if people are browsing the glass case or ordering, which isn't even the issue. The issue is that it's hard to get attention for someone to take your order and when we did all 3 times, the person either disappeared, someone else rung us out and thereby didn't know what we ordered or our food came to our table while we were still standing in line to pay. read more

Adorable bakery with a great seating section. A vast assortment of sweet and savory items prepared by what looks like Turkish grandmas in the bakery section (I don't think it could get much more authentic). Beautifully decorated with natural elements and subtle elegant nods to its culture. Great prices and flavors on our savory items. I saw many beautiful desserts in the case but was short on time. I def intend to visit again to try more options. read more

Excellent Bakery. My friend took me here and he really blew me away with his food tasting ways. Yes, absolutely fresh bakeries and organic. The soft warm bread, as if it was made at home. Unique in taste and a must taste. Drove 1 hour for this, absolutely worthy. read more

Taskin is a massive bakery, and with it being open 24 hours, there is something for everyone. There is ample seating, selection and lots of Middle Eastern delights. Additionally, there are other favorites such as tres leches available. Most of the items are sold by the pound, but some are sold by the piece. The service was quick and I enjoyed trying Turkish cookies. It's a great place to check out after enjoying a meal across the street at Toros. read more

tl;dr if they walk away, you might have caught them in an unnecessary uncharge My wife was treated very poorly by a male staff member. He did not listen to what she requested for the pastries. He put items in that she did not want. When she asked to see what he put in the box, he hesitated before showing her. Unsurprisingly, he had put items in that she did not want. When she asked to have them replaced with what she asked for, he gave her a hard time. Then he charged much more than we ever pay here. I'm not sure why he seemingly charged a penalty price for his own mistakes. A very nice woman who worked there ended up intervening and the man walked away and indicated that he no longer would serve my wife. When she rung up the pastries, it was MUCH less money. Please look at my previous reviews, it is atypical for me to encounter such poor customer service. I would give 1 star, but the woman was very nice. Perhaps more women working here would make the environment more respectful towards women customers. However my wife noted that she saw male employees barking orders to the women. Despite this rude man, the pastries were delicious. We have received poor service here before from the men, but this was exceptionally shocking behavior read more

This place is really great. The customer service is just sometimes disorganized and mostly that's because they get so busy. Don't go in a rush and when you do...try the rice pudding. I can eat a bowl of it...but do t do that. :) read more

I usually come here just to buy bread, but honestly, once you step inside, it's impossible to leave with only bread! Everything looks so fresh and tempting -- it really makes you hungry just by looking. I'm absolutely in love with their meat rolls, they're my favorite! I also often buy their dough to make homemade pizza the way we like it. You should definitely try it too! I always get such a warm welcome here -- the staff are incredibly kind and friendly, always greeting everyone with a smile. I think it's a self-service place, but even when my hands were full, one of the staff kindly came to help me -- that really says a lot! Thank you to them! Overall, this place isn't just a bakery, it's also a cozy café where you can sit, eat, and enjoy your coffee. I usually get my order to go, but a couple of times my friends and I had lunch here, and everything was so fresh -- absolutely perfect! read more

Welcoming! Amazing displays of such gorgeous bread! The best service! So helpful! Everything was new to me. Huge selection! I bought some eggplant bread, cheese bread and baklava.

Oh .. where to start. Their breads are excellent, light and airy with a nice chewy crust. Baklava have many flavors from pistachio walnut cream-filled too many to choose from. Turkish coffee was also excellent. Service is pretty quick even if they are busy. read more

I had an incredibly disappointing experience due to the poor customer service. The staff was unresponsive and seemed completely uninterested in helping. I was kept waiting for an unreasonable amount of time, and when I finally got assistance, the representative was rude, unhelpful, and gave me impolite looks. It felt like no one cared or even acknowledging the inconvenience. Overall, it was a frustrating and stressful experience that made me lose all trust in this business. Lots of loitering in the parking lot and small ample spots to park your vehicle without getting hit. The bread is dry and tacky this place is another social media platform marketed bakery resulting into drawing in little kids and teenagers with no money I would not recommend read more

Wow. Stumbled across this amazing bakery online and ran right over. What a treat. Sweet and savory Turkish baked goods, and the baker making gozleme made us a custom filled one with her favorite blend of fillings! Everyone was kind and patient with us newbies. Great staff, great food. Wish we didn't live 150 miles away! read more

Everything I've tried here is delicious. There's love in this kitchen! In my neighborhood, there are some great bakeries that offer solid competition, but the breads here are top notch, and that's saying a lot. The fact that it's always busy is also a great indicator of the quality. The baklava is my absolute favorite. Then the sesame breads. Least favorite are the denser baked goods, like the borek, but everything is worthy of a try. The parking lot in front is small and usually crowded. If you drive around the block, there's an elevated parking lot, but beware. There's one lane to enter and exit. Park though. Go inside, smell and enjoy! read more

Overrated bakery. Everything looks great, but there's no flavor. I get disappointed everytime I visit.

Taskin is so very Tasty!!! Parking is problematic. There is a small lot shared by some company with non-stop 18-wheelers squeezing through. But hey, if you can manage one of the spaces and not get bulldozed, you will find pleasures beyond pleasure at this Hazel Street bakery and don't let the Paterson address put you off, Clifton is literally across the street. Get, get, get the Turkish coffee, it's an experience all into itself. I had to google how to drink it! The staff is warm and welcoming and will explain anything you're culturally clueless. The place is spacious, clean, bright and most welcoming. read more

Took some help from the people working there and tried some sweets and savory pastries. Everything is delicious and absolutely perfect. The baklavas are so crisp and juicy.... The savory pastries we had with parsley,cheese are yum...(sorry...dont remember the names) The breads look insanely good. Defintely check this place....Prices are so reasonable. read more

If I could give a 100000000/10 I would. First off, the place is open 24 hrs... very dangerous, but I digress. Upon walking in, you are greeted by the most friendly wonderful staff. They have such a wide variety of desserts and pastries, plus everyone is so knowledgeable about the items. We didn't get the man who was working there's name, but he was beyond diligent, and even gave us beyond generous samples. We came at around 11:30 PM & everything we tried still tasted fresh and delicious. Anything with pistachios is a must buy. The borek's are to die for. And of course you can't go wrong with a little baklava;) BRB booking my flight to turkey now. VERY tasteful. Very mindful. Very cutesy. VERY demure ‍ read more

Taskin Bakery is one of those places you would never find if you weren't looking for it. Unlike most of the middle eastern restaurants, markets and shops in the area which seem to be located on or off of either Main Street or Crooks Ave., Taskin Bakery is located in an industrial stretch of Hazel Street. The entrance is hidden atop a small, cramped parking lot that you could easily misinterpret as belonging to the warehouse next door. If you're lucky enough to be in the know and make it inside the bakery you will find yourself walking into a different world. Instead of being industrial, the atmosphere is closer to New York City chic. With exposed brick walls, a fireplace, hardwood tables and wrought iron fixtures and chairs, Taskin Bakery is really unlike anything in the area. As you enter you first encounter the portion of the bakery dedicated to fresh bread. There is even a window into the back of the bakery where the magic happens. Past this you make your way to a very long case of freshly baked sweet and savory items, and you'll want to buy everything. My personal favorite is their spinach and cheese filo spiral. I apologize for not knowing the correct name, but you'll know it when you see it. Their coffee is excellent, and their café seating area is comfortable, so don't be too quick to pay and rush out the door. I recommend you buy what you want to take home, and then relax with a sweet treat and a hot cup of coffee before returning to the chaotic and unforgiving world that lies outside. Perhaps the best part of Taskin Bakery is that you will always find something new to try, which is a great excuse to return often. read more

Just imagine a beautiful modern bakery pumping out fresh bread and baklava 24/7!! It's a dream come true. AND they have a parking lot. Does it get any better? I went in after having dinner at Toros right across the street because obviously I needed more baklava. They have a huge case of delicious pastries. So many different kinds and all fresh and tasty. They also have a huge selection of fresh baked bread. It all looked delicious, I'm sure I'll grab some next time I go. This time I just grabbed a quick dessert. I got 4 mini eclairs and they were so so fresh. The cream inside was whipped and light. So so good. I also got what I thought was baklava but it was a bit more dense. Still so delicious and I'm happy I tried something different. The workers are really friendly. They also have a coffee bar and some small seating. Definitely check them out when you're in the area! Did I mention theyre open 24/7? read more

I'am not Turkish but I do enjoy traditional and authentic ethnic cooking. Taskin Bakery & Cafe is located in a Middle Eastern neighborhod in Paterson, New Jersey. I grew up in large cities and grew to appreciate ethnic neighborhoods and their traditional foods. Taskin Bakery and Cafe was established in 1997. A renovation in 2018 allows patrons to sit at tables or a comfy sofia by a fireplace while enjoying their Turkish treats. They make many types of breads in brick ovens. One drawback is that the breads are made with no preservatives so they are best eaten on the same day of baking. Other traditional pasteries offered are Simit (a circular bread encrusted with sesame seeds, poppy or flax), Pagaca (a savory breakfast pastry) and Tuzlu Kurablye (a savory salty biscuit). The star of the show for me was the walnut and pistacio Baklava which was outstanding. I ended up also buying an assorted group of Turkish cookies which are not nearly as sweet as American cookies but have a nut flavor or chocolate flavor. I need to mention that prices are very reasonable. Not everyone speaks English but those that do will help you with your selections. I experienced very friendly helpful service. Taskins also has some Anatolian decor like Ottoman style coffee brewers, cups, grain sifters and grinders. read more

Absolutely love this place, great ambiance & they are open 24/7 which makes this a great study/work location! Today I had a cheese and meat burek but it did not taste too fresh, the dough felt a bit tough to chew. I'm not sure when their exact times of making food are but I came around 10pm. However, they have a huge variety of food/desserts/bites to choose from at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend checking it out. The bakery is always very clean which is also a bonus. read more

They have the best and freshest baklava that I've ever had. The breads are amazing too, freshly baked and still warm!

Amazing Service & Delicious Cheese Pie! I had such a great experience at Taskin Bakery! The staff was incredibly kind, especially Dagukan, who went out of his way to be welcoming and helpful. It's always nice to see someone who genuinely cares about their customers. As for the food--absolutely delicious! I tried the cheese pie, and it was perfect: crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of cheesy goodness. You can tell everything here is made with quality and care. If you're in the area, definitely stop by Taskin Bakery! Great service, amazing pastries, and a warm, friendly atmosphere. I'll be coming back for sure! read more

Tasty Turkish food at reasonable prices. I was surprised how big it is... placing an order was a little confusing (to me at least) as there was no obvious place to get help. I was able to flag someone down eventually though. There's a wide range of baked goods. Unfortunately minimal prices and descriptions so I picked a few things at random. Everything was good. My favorite was the eggplant pide which if I heard correctly was only a few dollars. Baklava were also great. Not overly sweet and good texture. read more

My friends and I happened upon this amazing and inviting 24-hour Turkish bakery last month, after an event from across the street. Upon entering, I instantly felt welcomed by the warm ambiance and delicious scent of bread & pastries permeating the whole place. The space is spacious and sprawling with plenty of tables and seats, as well as a lovely, comfortable fireplace, couch, bookshelves, cool knick-knacks, and a gorgeous bouquet of red & white flowers. There are beautiful displays of bread, baklava, cookies, savory baked goods, bagels, pasta, and breadsticks galore! I also liked the artwork all over the walls. I decided to purchase some bread, which is cholesterol and sugar-free! They were so soft and fresh looking. One large piece of bread was $2 and a pack of 5 was only $4. I also brought a package of whole wheat breadsticks with sesame seeds all over. They were sooo wonderfully yummy, satisfyingly crispy and full of great taste. Then, I grabbed a piece of pistachio baklava that was circular, red in color, with a dollop of nutella on top. I saved this treat for later and it was absolutely delectable! The moist and syrup-soaked phyllo dough, combined with the crunchy richness of the pistachios paired perfectly together. The creamy, sweet, heavenly chocolate-y nutella melted in my mouth, mingling well with all the ingredients, adding an extra layer of yumminess. The other food item I had was bread stuffed with ground beef and onion. The bread was absolutely wonderful and had just the right amount of chewiness and was both soft and tender. There was plenty of filling and the beef was nicely juicy and well seasoned. I was able to sample the shortbread apple and nut cookie, which was delightfully buttery and had a lovely pure apple flavor. I also ordered a cup of Turkish tea, but it turned out to just be plain black tea. I had expected more of an authentic and unique flavor. I wish I had asked for the Turkish coffee after seeing how that was served in a more traditional and elaborate way. Even though I went to the counter multiple times, the folks working there were always gracious and patient. I would certainly return if in the area. read more

Everything here is soo good. They also now have a sugar free option with the baklava.

Took my family to Taskin Bakery for our first time earlier today. It's a modern looking place with good parking. The inside is big and updated. In non coronavirus times, there would be a nice seating area. They have a large glass case of desserts, a large case of savory delicacies, and a wall of bread choices. They also have Turkish coffee and tea. We selected a ground beef stuffed pastry, a potato stuffed pastry, a tomato croissant, and a cheese pizza stuffed pastry to have right away for lunch. I added a Turkish tea and my daughters selected water (both regular bottled and a cool Turkish mineral water). Each of the savory pastries was better than the last and each was reasonably priced around $2-$2.50. The Turkish tea was outstanding, a bold and smooth cup. We also selected some pastries to supplement the birthday cake at a party we were headed to later. The birthday cake was good but the pastries from Taskin were amazing! The pistachio stuffed pastry cylinders were perfect in texture with a pleasant pistachio flavor. The baklava in cream was the show stopper. I've had a lot of baklava in my life but this took baklava to the next level. Whereas some baklava can have dry layers, this baklava was perfectly tender throughout with the right amount of sweetness. Simply fantastic! Taskin is worthy of a return! read more
