Patrons describe Efes Sweets as offering authentic Turkish pastries, warm, friendly service, and very reasonable prices. Savory items like burek and su boregi are highlighted as must tries, with cheese borek sometimes noted for parsley amounts though many prefer it lighter. Baklava, especially pistachio or fistik varieties, is praised as among the best in the city. Desserts are delicious and fresh, and the tea is enjoyed as part of a cozy, intimate setting in Parc Extension. The staff are repeatedly described as kind and helpful, and the shop is seen as a gem with good value and reliable quality. A few reviews mention a dip in quality compared to earlier days, but the overall tone remains positive with frequent recommendations and plans to return.
Baklavas used to be so much better when it was run by previous owners. Now it's burnt, philo dough is thick & there's barely & pistachios in the baklavas. I recommend you buy your baklava elsewhere. Not coming back
Today I ate Amritsari kulcha. It was super tasty. I eat it every 2 days during the week because it tastes just like Indian street kulcha. I recommend coming with your family.

The people working there are always very welcoming & friendly. I love their burek with cheese, beef & chicken. The cheese borek is sometimes inconsistent with the amount of parsley it has in it. I personally prefer it when they dont put much or any.
NOW, their baklava with fistik (pistachio) is THE BEST IN THE CITY by far. As a native greek it pains me to say that this place has by a mile the best baklava in Montreal, if not Canada, beating any greek, persian or Arab bakery I've tried thus far.
I definatly recommend for a flaky borek or a baklava
Service exceptionnel ! Je viens régulièrement acheter mes pâtisseries , toujours savoureuse & de grande qualité. Leurs bakalvas est un vrai délice ! Le lieu est d'une propreté irréprochable & le personnel toujours accueillant & courtois. Je recommande à 100 % !
I absolutely love Efes Pastry! It was my first visit, & I was impressed by their delicious pastries. We went yesterday near to closing time, & even though it was his very first day, the gentleman working there welcomed us so warmly & provided excellent service.
We picked up pistachio baklava, kanafeh, & another sweet & honestly, I couldn't even wait to get home. I finished one right in the car! Everything was so fresh, rich in flavor, & beautifully prepared.
This Turkish pastry shop is a charming little spot in the heart of parc-ex. I go in there from time to time to grab a coffee & some pastries. I'm not Turkish so I don't know what the heck anything is in there, but the staff is friendly & helpful & quick to inform me on their products. Both savoury & sweet treats I order are usually still warm when I order.

Today I visited Efe's Bakery in Montreal, & everything I bought was incredibly fresh & delicious. But the real standout was the acibadem cookie - hands down the best cookie I've ever had in my life! On top of that, the warm, friendly, & helpful service made a big impression on me & my family. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
We went here to collect a'To Good To Go' order & couldn't have asked for better service. The young man who helped us was friendly & inviting, & we felt very welcomed. The pastries & breads were delicious & I've been dreaming about the kouloures (sp?) ever since we devoured the bag of them.
I absolutely recommend you try this place, for the high quality food, reasonable prices & warm, friendly service. A gem of a local bakery which should be a must-try for anyone.
They have amazing pastries. Everything from Po?aça to börek is served fresh & warm. The service was great & friendly. Would definitely recommend for authentic Turkish sweets & pastries.
I tried most of the dessert at the shop & I love the Tulumba & Baklava all types. I don't recommend to set inside the shop to eat it's too small place.

Some of the best (if not the best) baklava in town can be found here. They also have borek on the weekends, simit & the traditional butter. On top of that, the staff is absolutely great! Highly recommend
