Sweet & Salty

Sweet & Salty is the best! From the moment we walked in, Uncle Nasser made us feel so welcome! We always try something new each time we go, and the products are all of high quality and DELICIOUS! The tables make for a great place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and a treat, and the ice cream and flavored teas are so yummy!! Always our favorite place to go!!

Stopped by just to take a peak because my job recently relocated nearby- wow what nice shop. The owner was very friendly and extremely welcoming. I really knew nothing about Turkish sweets or what I might like. He gave me a piece of warmed cake (wish I could remember the name now!) and I was HOOKED! I ended up buying two more to go for my family amung a few other things. Will definitely be back. I recommend just giving it a try 🙂 they are welcoming and the snacks are fantastic.

This place made me feel very welcome, even with my 2 energetic little boys. It is very hard to find Turkish coffee and not only did they have it, but it was prepared exquisitely. It’s also very hard to find quality Turkish delight and this Turkish delight does not disappoint, delicious! They blessed us on the way out and although I forgot how to say it back, may God’s blessing be on this store, the employees, and their loved ones.

Beautiful store, RICH culture, amazing coffee (which they gave us on the house!), and of course the delights! Very kind and excited staff show and explain their products and culture which is all so beautiful and interesting. Definitely will be returning, too many options to not come back! Great quality products, clean store and great staff.

I stopped here on a whim to see what this new cute shop offered. A couple was eating a delectable looking cake and I asked if it was good. The woman said yes. I ordered one and OMG! It was delicious. It was a pistachio Tres Leche-like cake with divine frosting. I usually don't indulge in decadent treats, but I'm glad I did. In these weird times, you just have to have a nice treat once and awhile. The owner was very, very nice and offered me Turkish coffee. I like my coffee really strong, but I'll need time to acquire a taste for that. They had a myriad of candies, nuts, homemade logs made with nuts and other yummy looking ingredients and other things i wished they had an English explanation for what they were. They also had beautiful serving sets for, I presume, turkish coffee. The owner said he plans to have more seating and create a little coffee shop. I stopped there after a walk in waterfall glenn with my dogs. What a delightful little excursion and fun discovery today!! I needed this bit of happiness.! It was a nice little gem to discover

P.s. I just read the other reviews and I agree with the "magic door" and "being treated like a guest in the gentleman's home" comment. Spot-on comment. Thank you for your hospitality at Sweet and Salty

This is a charming little shop. It feels like there might be a magic door somewhere along the walls of fine chocolates that will transform you to a street bazaar in Istanbul. We ordered Turkish Delight with nougat. The gentleman behind the counter dressed in a suit was kind and treated us like guests in his home. I will definitely return again.

One of my new favorites. He has Turkish coffee to drink while shopping. I bought 5 different chocolates and they all had distinct flavors and soo good. No chemical taste that you get in a lot of candies these days and just smooth and creamy. I'll be back a lot.

Amazing Turkish coffee, sweets (chocolate and pistachio was my fav), and salty seeds - all imported! Such a delightful shop, with a kind and welcoming owner 😊

The store’s owner is super friendly and makes great coffee and candy! The chocolates look cool and are a great price too!

We had Turkish coffee that was prepared in a genuine way (on sand) and it was delicious. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The mastic flavored rolled ice cream was to die for!! We will definitely be back!!

Me and my son felt like special guests because the owner was so hospitable. He was kind and generous and allowed us to try his products. They were delicious and we learned so much about them. We will definitely be back to say hello and to purchase more delicacies. You have to check this place out!

Fantastic! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious pastries. The fresh Turkish delight is to die for!!! They will create a custom gift box with Turkish delight products of your choice and treat you with a cup of delicious Turkish coffee while you are waiting. This place is a MUST!

Wonderful experience at Sweet & Salty! I’m very grateful for their hospitality and their grace. I was able to sample the coffee and a piece of Turkish delight before making a purchasing decision. I took home the ice cream and it was delicious. I will certainly be back!

What a gem of a store! Everything is imported from Turkey, so your senses really feel like they're taking a vacation upon entry. Legit Turkish coffee is brewing, various types of Turkish Delight are available and a beautiful display of hand crafted chocolates that are wrapped as pretty as presents 🎁
Multiple varieties of roasted nuts are available and there are even handmade coffee sets and lamps. Stay and talk to the owner a while. It truly feels like a break from the rest of the world.
Plus, everything is so yummy!

You must try it! Nassir make a wonderful hot tea and coffee. Best sweets! Thanks guys! I’ll be back definitely. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great assortment of Turkish candies, coffee and other items! Very pleasant owner. Will definitely make this a regular stop!

Excellent customer service. It was our first time there and we will definitely be repeat customers. The owners are so kind and treated my kids so kindly. Fresh items, very flavorful.
