    Loved this place and all they have to offer. Was proud to be able to support this local business that has such unique offerings from a special part of the world. You can't find or buy most of what they have anywhere else. It makes for a great treat or gift to give to those you're visiting or making your own creative goodie bags with all of your favorite treats. The strawberries with Nutella on it are on another level as well. I will definitely be back and I encourage you to check it out for yourself!

    Felt so nice to see and support a Palestinian owned shop here in Hayward. I really hope they flourish! I got various chocolates and other items (as seen in my pic). The place is pricey, but to be expected since they're considered more "novelty" over here. I assume the gentleman working that day was the owner, but I didn't ask. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I'll definitely comeback to support them again and maybe get some Arabic coffee.

    Inside Dubai strawberries

    They have strawberry Dubai cups/bowls with either dark or milk chocolate! Super fresh and delicious! We also had a piping hot Turkish coffee that's steeped in a sand bath - such a unique touch. On top of that, we picked up a variety of little chocolates, including chocolate covered dates, chocolate covered hazelnut, and chocolate covered blueberry with cream cheese. Everything was beautifully made and full of unique flavors. Highly recommend!

    We came here after eating out in Hayward and were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted upon entering and then gravitated toward the chocolate truffle bins. It's nice because you can fill in your bags with whatever chocolates you like. We got 1-2 of the flavors that intrigued us and ate them within a week. We had truffles with digestive cookies, biscoff cream (delicious), chocolates with almond, truffles with cream cream cheese filling, pistachio cream, and then other unique chocolate delicacies from the middle eastern region. We liked everything except for the walnut chocolates. For a small bag full of chocolates, we paid around $11 though it's about $25 per pound. We would come back here during the winter to buy some of these chocolates for friends and family. We were very happy with our visit and will definitely return!

    I've been here a couple times. It's a quaint place. It's a hidden gem for Hayward and I'm so glad they opened. The owners are down to earth and welcoming. They have two small tables for seating to have a quick bite of your desserts or drink Turkish coffee. They have a variety of selection of gummies, sweets, chocolates, Dubai chocolates, olives, nuts, Turkish delights. I've gotten their Dubai chocolate as well as the chocolate, strawberry Dubai cup (very tasty). Friends have gotten Turkish delights here and I do enjoy it with tea. I have yet to try their Turkish coffee, but hope to try it one day. I love how they make bouquets out of chocolate. Great place for gifts and treats.

    The service was amazing, such friendly vibes and all the chocolate to indulge from with a huge variety! 10/10

    Came here specifically to try the viral Dubai chocolate. This Palestinian-owned store is a hidden gem tucked right next to Susie Q Pizza in Hayward. They carry an impressive selection of sweet treats, Turkish delights, chocolate strawberries, Turkish coffee, and a wide variety of chocolates that make it almost impossible to choose just one. The Dubai chocolate, especially the pistachio and kanafe , was absolutely delicious. One large bar cost $25 which was perfect for sharing. I also tried their Turkish coffee--bold and very aromatic . A must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth or a love for Middle Eastern treats! They also roast their own nuts. Family owned store where they provide best service and make sure you leave happy.

    Everything we've gotten here has been delicious! We came here on a weekend and it was heart warming to see that they had folks supporting this small business. We got a couple different kinds of Turkish delight as well as some mixed snacks. Additionally, it's super cute to see the kids helping out the family business. They were super helpful and gave us honest answers when we asked which flavors they liked best.

    Been meaning to check out this local gem for awhile & came in when I saw their 1 year celebration & fundraiser via Instagram. Really lovely & tidy inside, street parking was plentiful, was offered help quickly but also given space to browse. I bought some Turkish delight, several dark chocolates to try & 2 Palestine colas ( had these at a friends' party & liked it) Too bad I was already caffeinated as I'd like try the Turkish coffee. Will be back.

    Let me start by saying : We need more shops like this !!! In the meantime this one gets all my attention ! I originally came for the Dubai chocolate and left with so much more !!! Clean, friendly and full of amazing beautiful surprises! Chocolate, Turkish delights, nuts, tea, olives even pomegranate molasses! It was so hard to peel Myself away from the treats and restrict myself ! Even my husband the picky one started pointing things out to grab. I am in love with this little shop that feels like walking in into someone's pantry of love ! Please check it out leave with a smile and a full heart !

    Came here since my friend raved about their Dubai chocolate . She told me the man there let you samples anything you want in the store. When I got there on a Saturday afternoon, I saw a man in the front and a lady in the back. The lady asked me what I was looking for and I said Dubai chocolate. She told me where the bars are. And I asked if I could sample it. She first said no! She didn't sound too welcoming. Then she said "you can try the individually wrapped ones." So we tried out the dark and milk Dubai chocolate. The dark was very good. Not bitter. Ratio of chocolate and fillings was good. The milk one was a bit too sweet for my taste. So I got a bar of dark Dubai chocolate. They actually ran out of the milk one. I didn't sample other chocolate like my friend did since the lady didn't offer. For $25 a bar, it's pricey but this is viral now so that's why they increased the price so quickly . It was $14 5 months ago!

    This cute new Turkish delight spot is a new hidden gem in Hayward. It fits right into the neighborhood! The store is super clean and filled with all kind of goodies! I love their Dubai chocolate as well as their mixed nuts they sell. It near downtown Hayward and is a great go to for unique sweets and they have an amazing chocolate strawberry Dubai cup that I'm addicted to!

It's small but cozy and clean. I wanted to try all of the flavors - regular, chili oil scallion, and corn cheese. The regular was the best out of the other two in my opinion since it was simple but the bread could have been crisper even though it was warmed up. The other two flavors were very oily and too heavy. Glad I finally tried it, but I think I'm just going to stick to their macaroons.

I remembered a place on Jackson Street that I had gone to 5 years ago that had a tremendous selection - looked it up on Yelp and it was no longer on Jackson, but was listed in Castro Valley. So we went thought we'd go by and give it a try. Great decision! The "new" store in Castro Valley is much brighter, cleaner, nicer than the old location. I think the old location had more stuff from Eastern Europe, but this new location seems to have a broader selection, with more stuff from Western Europe and the Middle East. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful - always willing to answer questions and even give tips on how to use the products that they sell. And his recommendations have been great - we asked him about which tahini and zaatar to get (they have many different brands/types of each...) and the ones he recommended have been way tastier than any of the brands that you find in most markets. Especially good was his recommendation on lebnah - he said that the brands they carry are all good, but they have some that they package in-house that was special. I tried it - it was less expensive than the other brands, but was the very best lebnah that I have ever tasted! Richer, creamier, with just the right amount of tang. Wonderful stuff! Anyway, Crossroads is a nice, clean, well-lit place with a great selection of unique products, and friendly, knowledgeable sales staff. Well worth a trip!

I also have to admit that, while this shaping is very attractive, the direction of the lamination makes eating this feel like shards in my mouth. However, flavor was excellent. The plain croissant is very plain. It's decent but I've had better. The scone and panna cotta, however, were delightful. Both had lovely soft textures and wonderful creamy flavors.

Seven Hills Baking Co was my first stop as I haven't had sourdough since childhood. I got their classic sourdough loaf. Even though it wasn't warm anymore it was still amazing. It was quite hard to cut into with a serrated bread knife, which I'm not sure whether that's normal or abnormal for gluten sourdough. However, the inside was lovely and soft. Nice strong sour flavor, spongy dough that was almost moist (not at all dry). I want to note on the gluten free front that seven hills baking co offers a few items which they advertise to be gluten free. Though the ingredients may be gluten free, the items are baked in the same kitchen, the same oven, and then put side by side with the gluten in the display case. Furthermore I don't believe their ingredients are all certified gluten free. Therefore I do not recommend seven hills baking co for anybody with celiac disease. Do not buy your friend with a gluten allergy or celiac these items. There is most certainly cross contact.

Soft and sweet (maybe just a little bit too sweet for my taste). The cronuts peel off like a croissant but has a nice chew like a donut. And the donut holes are soft and sweet with the right amount of chewiness like a regular raised donut even though they're bite sized. Looking forward to our next visit and our next donut here...

I'm typically not a fan of desserts, but these had the perfect level of sweetness for me. The fruits were nice and ripe as well. The two flavors I got were the blueberry matcha and the mango. The blueberry matcha had this nice rich blueberry jam mixed in with cream that actually has a good matcha taste. The mango one was really fresh--this one was my favorite. Although they aren't cheap at about $6.25 per one, they were definitely delicious. It seems like a family run business that puts a lot of care into their products though. I'll be returning but maybe more as a nice treat rather than a regular go-to.

    We happened to be nearby and were in search of a coffee and Doughweime happened to be in the same…read moreshopping complex so we walked over to give it a try. There were a few people in line and it did take about 10 minutes before we were able to order. During that time, some of the malasada flavors ran out, but they were quickly replenished. We grabbed an assortment of flavors, an iced oat latte, and a black sesame latte. The banana creme brulee malasada looked so good that we had to try it in the store while waiting for our drinks. The dough is so soft and pillowy with a crispy layer of bruleed sugar and a delicious banana cream that was absolutely to die for. At $6.50, it's not a cheap treat, but it was super delicious and I'm glad we tried it. The drinks were also great. The espresso shot they pulled perfectly complemented the oat milk -- this is one of the better iced oat lattes I've had. We tried the black sesame latte because it sounded interesting and it was so creamy and loaded with black sesame flavor. For anyone that doesn't drink caffeine, I highly recommend you try the black sesame latte. With such great quality malasadas and drinks, it's no wonder there was a line! We'll definitely be back!

    I don't go often to Paris baguette, so can't compare to other locations. However, this place is…read morehuge. I went when it was quiet, so I can admire all the pastries they had on display. The staffs were so friendly and sweet. Wonderful service and these days it's far between. I've had their crab croquette - 2.5/5 - it's ok, but not my style. Croquette hot dog 4/5. I'm a sucker for hot dog buns. Garlic baguette 4/5. Surprisingly it's sweet, so that threw me off. Can get hard after a day or so. Would come back to try more things and just chill there.

When I went in, there was a graduation cake I wanted, but I was told they couldn't sell it because they were out of cake boxes. A huge shoutout to Erin, Ankit, and the rest of the team for going above and beyond to make it happen. The cake was still $79.99, but when you have no other options and people genuinely care to help, it is completely worth it. They wrote a graduation congratulatory message on the cake, secured it carefully with tape, found a large box to safely transport it, and even helped carry it out to my car. Most importantly, the cake was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you so much to Erin, Ankit, and the entire team for taking the extra time and effort to make this happen. I truly appreciated your kindness and willingness to help, even without the proper cake box available.
