Tasting samples
Free tastings can help you choose among unfamiliar cakes, desserts and sweets before buying.

Tips for a Better Visit
Taste first. Ask whether samples are available before choosing unfamiliar cakes, baklava or sweets; one reviewer was offered a free taste.
Check billing. Compare the shelf display with the bill before paying, since one customer reported a price mismatch.
Order WhatsApp. For convenience, ask about placing an order through WhatsApp; a review says the bakery also accepts orders that way.
Plan eggless. If you need an eggless cake, arrange it in advance rather than relying on same-day availability.
Late visit. A 2022 review reports 24-hour opening, but confirm current hours if visiting very late.
Gift shopping. For a small present, consider the customized gift-wrapped chocolates rather than buying only individual pastries.
