Gulluoglu Baklava & Cafe Brooklyn Reviews
An updated review once again this is my place to come for tea and pastries in Brighton Beach! Always a pleasure, and a great and interesting atmosphere!
All the desserts were very fresh and delicious. We were looking for a birthday cake for our friend and we found this place on map. Definitely right choice!! Unique and tasty too. We picked up a strawberry birthday cake but So many options. Staff are so nice and friendly. Thank you so much guys for helping us. Def will come back .
Very nice place, they've been around for quite some time, now redesigned the interior space a bit so it is much more comfy and well-lit, pastries are very very tasty, one of the best coffee shops in the area. They make those cakes in their bakery in NJ I believe
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Brighton Beach Gem I’ve Loved for Over a Decade This place has been so, so good to me — truly. I love it with all my heart, and I recommend it from the bottom of my soul. ❤️ I’ve spent countless hours here over the years, always with my absolute favorite Turkish coffee in hand. Honestly? I have no idea where else I would even go for a truly authentic Turkish coffee and treat. Nothing compares. It’s right in the middle of Brighton Beach — what many of us used to call Little Odessa — and it has everything: great music, reliable internet, and a sweet little stamp card where every 10 coffees earns you a free one. Let’s just say… I’ve earned quite a few. 😊 Even now that I live far away (finally!), I still come back here specifically for this coffee, and I make a whole day out of it. That tells you everything. If you’ve never been, you really have to come check it out and feel what I’m talking about. I vouch for this place completely. A true Brighton Beach treasure. ☕💛
Güllüoğlu Café & Bakery is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic Turkish desserts and coffee! The baklava is perfectly sweet, flaky, and fresh — just like you’d find in Türkiye. They have so many varieties, and every single one tastes homemade. The Turkish tea and coffee are excellent, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming — a perfect place to sit, relax, and enjoy something special. The staff are kind and helpful, always making sure you have a great experience. Whether you stop by for a quick coffee, a piece of baklava, or to share a dessert platter with friends, Güllüoğlu never disappoints. It’s truly a taste of Istanbul right here in the U.S.!
The staff is polite, good and prompt with service, whether taking out or dining in. They keep the cafe clean. I’ve enjoyed a few different items from the menu, both food and drink, and have never been disappointed. We make Gulluoglu a regular stop when we are in the area, and recommend the cafe to our friends that visit from out of town.
Awesome cakes. We ordered two. Delicious coffee. Great atmosphere. The presence was overshadowed by the fact that we were not allowed to finish the cake we brought with us. I understand if we hadn’t placed an order and eaten our own food. The waiter girl said that if they see on the cameras that we are eating our food, she will be punished. I advise the owners to reconsider their relationship with customers. Next time I’ll bring a cake with me and make an order. If the situation happens again, I’ll give the lowest marks and correct the review.
The desserts here are simply perfect fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The café combines a lively street atmosphere with a refined and cozy interior, creating the ideal setting to relax and enjoy your time. On top of that, the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. A truly wonderful place that I would highly recommend!
Absolutely loved this place! The smoothie and juice menu is incredibly diverse — everything is made fresh and full of flavour. I tried the “Berry Mix” and it was perfectly balanced and refreshing. The gelato selection is also amazing, with so many unique and creamy flavours — you can really taste the quality. The vibe inside is cosy and welcoming, and despite being busy, the staff were friendly and efficient. I also loved the variety of healthy options, from fresh-pressed juices to organic cold drinks. A perfect spot whether you’re after a treat or something nourishing. Highly recommend stopping by!
Stopped by for a quick iced latte and was helped by a lovely girl named Sabrina (I believe that’s her name). She was incredibly kind and made me one of the best lattes I’ve had in a long time. I also tried the tiramisu , it was delicious! Big thanks to her , she’s a true professional. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
This bakery is a dessert paradise! The display case is filled with an array of beautifully crafted cakes, from creamy chocolate to vibrant pistachio and fruit-topped delights. The cozy, modern interior with brick accents and comfy seating makes it a perfect spot for a sweet treat. A delightful 4.5/5 for variety and ambiance!
This café is absolutely amazing! The desserts are not only delicious but also beautifully presented—every bite is a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds. The coffee was excellent, perfectly complementing our sweets. We visited on a Sunday and easily found a table. The service was outstanding; every guest is treated like the most important visitor. Highly recommended!
I recently visited this café and loved it! The pastries were fresh and delicious, especially the sesame bagels (simit), which had the perfect crunch and softness. They also offer authentic Turkish dishes like soups and grilled specialties, all full of flavor. The cozy atmosphere, clean display, and friendly service made the experience even better. A hidden gem for Turkish food lovers—I’ll definitely be back!
Delicious tasty turkish dessert. Helpful staff and very nice remodeled interior. I would love to come back to try their hot meal options as well. I noticed they make fresh juice and smoothies, along with Sundae ice cream. If you come by to this spot I highly recommend you to try Festival special pistachio rolls dessert.
Sometimes the coffee is fine, but cappuccino has little coffee taste. The Red Velvet cake was bad – thick cream and even spoiled strawberry. They replaced it with pistachio, but it was too sweet and heavy, with the same unpleasant cream. The cheese and spinach pastry was soft, spicy, not crispy, and disappointing. Small eclair is also bad.
That was the worst Turkish place I’ve ever been before… hey let me tell you something about baklava that’s one of the famous and iconic dessert in Turkish desserts! If you’ll make it like that pls don’t make it! Don’t serve like that. It was not fresh and it was like mush, I have no idea how long it had been in the tray! this was literally stale. I would never recommend anyone to go that place anymore.. Boreks were same and weren’t fresh at all! Baklava and borek basically should be crunchy and you have to hear that sound when you bite! It was disappointed for me as a Turkish guy.. sorry I can’t say lie after this experience cause never tried worst than that neither Turkiye nor NY
We are regular customers , 11 years already! We love their boregs and croissants. Girls, who works there for long time are always welcome and attentive! But today morning (05/16) new girl seeing that I m buying croissants for kids , packed 3 burned croissants in the bag. When I noticed it, I was too far from cafeteria. Why? Will you give this croissant to your baby? And It’s not first time ! You don’t care about business reputation? I don’t get it . Very disappointed.
