Sara's full firsthand review

Here`s a sweet spot to satisfy your sweet tooth! Whats more is that its not your usual desserts. A Sweet Factory offers a variety of Mediterranean style pastries. If you are looking for a change from the typical brownies or cake, then I suggest giving this place a try. I LOVE the Kanafeh! It`s basically a sweet cheese pastry, loaded with a mix of mozzarella and akawi cheese. Ask for the dessert to be warmed, so then when you eat it bite for bite, the cheese just oozes in your mouth! Make sure to top it off with attar (sweet syrup). You can`t miss this dessert, its BRIGHT orange! Just calling your name to be eaten up. I have also enjoyed the other selection of desserts this place has to offer. I usually ask for a mixed box, so then I can take it home and relish on all the different varieties. The mixed box also comes in handy when you simply cannot decide on what dessert to order. Arabian sweets are fragrant, sweet, and satisfying. The desserts smell of fresh orange blossoms and rose. It`s a beautiful change of smell and taste than the usual vanilla and chocolate. The place is located in a simple and worn out plaza. The inside decoration of the pastry shoppe is no all that great either. Ah well, it`s not so bad once you realize how much this place has to offer. They are always churning up batches of fresh treats.
