The staff is nice but the desserts are below par. The TikTok viral fruit shaped treats are very small compared to competitors. The sliced cake was old, crème was stale and edges of cake were hard. We went to give it a try but will def not come back. read more

The place is soooo nice!! The place is small and I think it's to go only. I don't remember seeing a seat or table in there. They have a lot of yummy goodies. The service is good!! The girl that helped us is so patient while we look at everything!! We came in for the dubai chocolate, but we love baklava. They have so many varieties of baked goods. So we finally decide to get 1 mango cake thing, but it didn't have a cake. It's mousse? It's good but I feel like it would be better with a sponge cake or something. It looks so cute though. The dubai chocolate is so good!! My daughter love it!! The pastries is also soooooo good! We will definitely be back to try more things. What we tried was good!! The pastries is definitely a hit for me. read more

After spice shopping at Valley Foods, I had an idea of having baklava as a post-prandial treat. Habibi Sweets is only three years old, replacing another store that also sold Mediterranean & Middle Eastern desserts. I'm pretty sure I've eaten their sweets - I just don't remember the old shop's name. Habibi Sweets, on the other hand, with their assortment of baklavas and Turkish Delights gave me a teasing taste of one of their more popular confections. My order included two rolled green-colored baklavas, One Almond dough pastry brimming with nuts and seeds, a coconut.TD, and for the pièce de résistance, this dark red Rose Petal Turkish Delight that was to die for! I remember my foray into chewy Turkish delights 25 years ago and this one was beyond delightful! Plus, it's non-GMO and Gluten-free! And there's more! The friendly staff, namely Zina gave me a small free box of even more assortment of baklavas to try which will surely be shared with my family. read more

BEST baklava in Entire San Diego. So fresh, delicious and many verities. Place is clean and display is nice and presentable. Always buy your baklava from here. read more

This place kind of sucked because they don't know what they're telling you when asked what the inner cake flavor is. They'll just say any flavor you want to hear so that you'll get it. read more

I was surprised at the huge variety of sweet treats they had available here. The interior is brightly lit and there are a couple of tables to enjoy your desserts if you wish. One employee was very friendly and helped us out. We got two bars of Dubai chocolate. It was $15 for 1 and $25 for 2. So it costs a pretty penny, but it was very delicious. I would definitely revisit in the future to try more things from here. read more

Visited for the first time and it was a real treat. The woman helping me was kind and answered all my questions. When I mentioned it was my first visit, she even added a sample to my order, which was a thoughtful touch. Everything I tried was delicious, you can really taste the freshness and quality. I originally came in for the Dubai chocolate, and it was really good. The bar had a unique crunchy texture inside with a lightly toasted flavor that wasn't overly sweet. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Great service and great sweets! Everyone is very very nice! I highly recommend this over anyone place.

Very nice store always clean and the sweets it's so good and the customer service Jwan is very nice. Thank u for service. read more

I was nearby and wanted some Dubai chocolate and saw it was sold here. I bought one bar as well as the chocolate strawberries. You can definitely taste the pistachio more in the bar vs the strawberries. I wish it was a bit more crunchy. Decent if you're looking to try it but it is expensive, $15 for 1 bar or $25 for 2. read more

I tried knafeh for the first time in the past year and immediately loved the delicious combination of cheese, nuts, and honey as well as the texture. When I saw it in a portable chocolate form I knew I had to find it! But this place actually specializes in more delicious treats - baklava! Loved all the variations and even got some that were served with warm - sooo good! Also, will say service was really great and helpful! The shop itself is also super cute! read more

Very nice people and the best dessert in town by far. Also very nice in the inside very calm and well designed. Very atheistic to say the least. Will be going back for sure. read more

I don't really have much of a sweet tooth for pastries. I came in mostly out of curiosity to try a Dubai chocolate bar. I was overwhelmed by the amount of pastries they had. They gave us a sample of a pastry and I was blown away. We got some Dubai chocolate and a few pastries and I would say I came to try the Dubai chocolate bar but I'll return for the pastries. read more

Excellent customer service today. I didn't know what to get and the kind gentleman just picked a pound of random baklava for me to sample. I also came to try the viral Dubai chocolate bar! They only have the bar in milk or white chocolate. Dark chocolate wasn't an option. My son and I ate half of the chocolate bar before coming home. The different textures, pistachio butter and milk chocolate was a match made in heaven. It's the first time we tried the bar so we didn't know what to expect. My only regret was not buying more than one bar! The baklava was really sweet, but still delicious! I mean, what do you expect from the sugary treat! I would come back to try all their desserts. I didn't get a chance to try their cakes but the baklava and Dubai chocolate bar was worth the 30 minute drive! read more

This one of the best desserts place to check while you are here in San Diego. They have plenty of sweets selection to choose from. The place was so adorable and good to take a selfie lol! The Service staff was all friendly and nice. Just be careful because their desserts is too beauitiful to eat so you might end up staring on it! They have plenty of space to park! read more

I moved to El Cajon six years ago and since I moved my friends have been telling me about this place in El Cajon off of second Street. El Cajon is known for a city with a mixture of cultures specifically from the Middle East so it's typical to see a lot of Middle Eastern shops around the area. However, because they're so plentiful sometimes you just ignore your surroundings. But one of my friends whom is from Iraq, continued to tell me if I wanted to get the best baklava I need to go to Habibi Sweets! Well, he was very right. Not only baklava, but there was dozens of different types of sweets you can choose from. I couldn't really tell you what they are, but every bite was a new adventure from the baklava to the pistachio rosewater bundles of goodness! I bought a tray of mixed sweets because i wanted to experience different things. And every single thing I got was better than the other. If you're in the mood to discover a new culture and what comes with it then look no further Habibi Sweets. I felt the same way when I do to go to Mary's donuts or some sort of local donut shop that has dozens of different donuts. You better come here with an empty stomach because once you start trying one thing you'll try another another another and they'll be no stopping. I wish I wouldn't have waited six years to try them . And the person who worked there was very happy to service and explain different sweets. You also gave me free chocolate pistachio, which resembled and tasted like a pistachio KitKat awesome! read more

The Dubai chocolate bar is what brought us here. It's $15 for one, or two for $25. The chocolate itself was incredibly creamy, and the filling had a light, nutty, Krispy-like texture. Overall, it was delicious, though a bit pricey for the portion size, but I understand it's going viral right now. We also picked up some baklava, which is sold by the pound. They have a huge selection of different baklava, but we stuck with the classic, honey and some filo. As the name suggests, they offer a wide variety of sweet Turkish treats. read more

Hands down one of our favorite spots to enjoy middle eastern sweets by far in California!!! Walked in and it feels like a family bakery. From the baklava to even the cookies, all tasted excellent and very fresh. Service was great. They knew it was our first time and the hospitality was amazing! Everything was clean and bright inside with everything well organized. Definitely give them a try! Will be back for sure! read more

Cute newish Turkish bakery. As we were nearby we thought we'd stop in for a few samples after dinner. It's very sweet inside, a real bakery! Staff is very friendly and they seemed to have a consistent line through our visit. I had a Turkish coffee which went really well with our sweet choices. I love baklava so it was thrilling and difficult to make choices. Seeing our challenge we were immediately offered a sample. My favorite of what we bought was the pomegranate on. Sooo good. While mom felt it could be fresher (hence the 4.5) I really enjoyed what we brought home and give this location a thumbs up. I do recommend going earlier as the parking lot did seem to get a bit sketchy as we were leaving. read more

The Habibi Sweets - Baqlawa with pistachio; Zalabia, with cream and other sweet sweets. - Desserts Near Me - El Cajon, California

This place offers terrific Mediterranean and Middle Eastern sweets and baked goods. I don't know where to begin. I know! Fidel, the young lady who was working the evening I stopped in, was very nice and helpful. It takes a lot of explanation as to what all the wonderful treats were. I picked up a small container with a variety of sweets, most notably pistachio and walnut baklava. Most of their items are made in-house, but some are also imported from the Middle East. They also make honey cakes and cakes here. The baklava was great, and I was pleased they did not hold back on the nuts and honey. Habibi Sweets offers trays for large parties and catering events. They open at 10 am daily. It's definitely a cool spot to visit in East County. read more

I came in this shop on October 28th to do a custom order cake. I showed them exactly what I wanted and I told them I wanted it all vanillla with custard filling and chocolate moose filling. I come into the bakery to get my cake order and it's nothing like the photo at all. It's like day and night. I called the owner and told him that the cake is not at all what it's suppose to look like. So he explained to me that he will be arriving at the shop in five minutes and he will have them fix the cake decoration and said he will deliver it to my home. I still paid $80 even though the decoration on the cake was completely different from what I asked. He delivers the cake and the decoration on the cake is falling off the cake melting away. (Even after we put it in the fridge the stuff on the cake was melting off) He offered me $40 gift card or a free tray of baklava for their mistake on the cake, and gave me ATTITUDE saying "the cake isn't going to look like the picture exactly especially since it's a different color... the cake was NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTO doesn't matter about the color of the cake??!!!! It's time to cut the cake and we cut it in the inside of the cake is not what I asked for. The guests that we had were eating the cake and one of the parents noticed that some of the flowers on the cake were magnets they were not edible. That is unacceptable and straight up dangerous. I went back and got my money. They even got the name wrong on the cake. Keep your apologies, you messed the whole cake order up, and put kids and adults lives in danger. I should have checked google reviews!!! Others have had problems with their custom cakes as well!!! Don't let these reviews fool you. read more

I recently brought my family here that was visiting. I parked the bus in front of the store. While my family was in the shop, I went down to FedEx to get a package I had held there. My family was price gouged! The viral TikTok fruit ice cream that cost $9.99 in H-Mart for two cost $25 in the shop. Had I not been in FedEx, I would have objected to the purchase. Our rental was in Oceanside. We would have passed two H-Marts on the way. I was floored! That is not how you get repeat customers. I praised this place until this last visit. Never again. Now I say check the prices elsewhere first. read more

Good food, good service I went there last week to around 8 pm after we ate at the restaurant next door so we're going to get some sweet from them and I will recommend it read more

Highly recommend this pastry shop!! Wish it was closer to home... Clean, beautifully staged, and with a wide selection of delicious sweets. Service was friendly and welcoming. Initially came in to find the Dubai chocolate bar for my daughter but couldn't walk out with a treat for myself. The Pink Lady is sweet, refreshing and beautiful. Would come back for that dessert alone. My daughter gives the Dubai bar 5 stars, have tried others but they have been more chocolate than pistachio filling.. The ratios on this bar were much more balanced. Hope your business thrives for many years to come! read more
