Oasis Baklava

Enter through the garage into the oasis of baklava! Wonderful find in the Bay Area for the baklava lover. They have many different types, and were nice enough to give me a sample of the delicious pistachio — ¹⁰⁄₁₀! And very sweet customer service (get it, sweet).
Bring cash — easiest to pay in cash here!

A solid five stars for this sumptuous wholesale & retail bakery, a n unexpected place on Old County Road. We needed sopme trays of desserts for Greek Easter this passt Sunday. The place is clean & Dina & her mother, Nobuco are wonderful. Dina is cute & a doll; very friendly & knowledgable about her product. The Middle Eastern sugar cookies are buttery melt in your mouth good. Thge walnut cookies are equally buttery & melt in your mouth lite with wonderful walnuts. The baklava, weather walnut, pastitio in traditional squares or in rolls are buttery, flaky, nutty, & are full of honey bliss. The warbat is another delight yet wioth flaky filo dough, a smooth custard, & a perfect drizzle of simple syrup. For $ 56.00, we got our money’s worth; just a a note, cash & checks only. So, for wonderful baklava & Middle Eastern delights at reasonable price with friendly service in a clean atmosphere, Owasis cannot be beat. Keep up the good work Dina, Nobuco, & staff.

Wonderful Baklava and price! When you arrive, enter through the garage. Cash or checks only.

Awesome baklava place hidden among the industrial buildings in Belmont. They allow walk-​ins (even though it may not seem like it), so make sure you check them out if you’re looking for delicious baklava! My coworker and I stopped by to pick up some snacks for work, and got:
–6 Pieces Pistachio Baklava (
): I liked the pistachio more than the walnut, and they definitely don’t skimp on the nuts. I liked the flakiness of their baklava, although I wish they used a bit more of the sugar syrup. Still recommended!
–40 Mini Pieces Walnut Baklava ($ 18): This was a great price, and still good, although I preferred the pistachio more. Recommended if you like walnuts.
The staff here is really friendly, and you can work with them to customize your baklava order. I’ll have to come back to try their combination pack of different types of baklava. Parking was fine since we came around 1pm on a Thursday, and there are some street parking spots.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved desserts. All kinds of desserts… except ones with nuts. That was up until about 10 years ago. Then, all of a sudden, the light clicked and now I LOVE desserts with nuts (settle down, pervs)! Almonds, Hazelnuts, Pistachios, Cashews, Peanuts and more!
One of the nuts I absolutely despised growing up was walnuts. It always made my tongue and throat itchy! I think baklava helped me get over that allergic reaction! I tried baklava again and boy did I love it. This was the one from Costco. But, I branched out and tried it at different restaurants. Then, I saw Oasis pop up on a list on Unilocal.I had to bookmark it and try it. While it took me 2 years to finally make it to Oasis, I’m glad I finally did. The baklava here can’t be beat!
I’m no expert in baklava, but there are different varieties that have a similar taste to baklava, but are shaped differently. All of them are good here! Also, if you like pistachios, they have the same varieties, but made with pistachios. Personally, I prefer the walnut versions. They also have different other pastries and desserts, but go with the original baklava first.
The store itself… well, «store» isn’t really a good term for the shop. It’s basically a baking kitchen that opens the roll up gate and puts a rack of goodies right near it. Don’t let that stop you from coming in, asking questions, and getting some awesome goodies! The lady who runs the place is extremely accommodating and will gladly help you make the hard decision of what to try. In fact, there might even be a sample in your future.
Lastly, the place may be hard to find. Just look for the brick building. Parking might be a challenge, but there are enough side streets around the area if you don’t mind walking a lot. Also, they don’t take credit card, so make sure to bring cash or a check.

There is something very fun/​special/​brag worthy about buying baklava from a baklava wholesale bakery.
I stopped in (there is no storefront), handed the lady (who gave us samples) $ 20 cash, and walked out with a baklava/​roll/​cookie sampler tray (which included walnut and pistachio varieties) to share with my co-​workers.
I’m not saying it’s the best baklava I’ve had, but it was good and it sure doesn’t get fresher than baklava baked in front of your eyes (and before it goes on a truck to your local ethnic grocery store).

I love their baklava especially with walnut, i drive from walnut creek just to buy it
Well done

Baklava from wholesale is more delicious while also less expensive!!! Walk-​ins welcomed. Cash or check only. Nice lady will give you samples. Walnut or pistachio baklava and other varieties available. 6 piece or 50+ piece platters available!

I always come to these guys for great middleastern sweets, you guys rock, keep up the good work.
Thank You

This place makes the best baklavas. It’s fresh, flaky, & perfect sweetness (not sweet like most places). The lady there was so sweet and nice. Even though it was a holiday, she let us drop by to purchase some baklavas. The price was reasonable. This place is worth driving 30 mins for yummy baklavas.

Nobuko, the owner, assisted me in choosing a sample tray of mini walnut baklava as well a package of sesame barazik cookies. I am helping my family plan a graduation party with a Middle Eastern theme in a few weeks. I had heard about a baklava bakery in my neighborhood, but I had never searched for it until this week. The pastries are great, not too sweet, and fresh!!! Not your usual bakery, but a working factory. Bring cash and support this local treasure.

Ive been buying their baklava from various places. Aladdin, Trag’s, Piazza’s up and down the peninsula. Didnt realize their kitchen was right in Belmont. If you want it as fresh as it gets go straight to the commisasry kitcheb here. However it maybe easier to hit those local markets.

They have the best baklavas in the bay area.

How have I not reviewed this place already? I am so slacking in my Unilocal duties these says, it’s sad.
This isn’t a store as such but the location in which the Baklava is made and they supply local store’s and restaurants BUT you can still swing by and they will happily sell you what they do have, this means that options may be limited but you know you’re getting something incredibly fresh.
A 3 piece tray will set you back $ 4.29 and which is about the same as the store’s charge and come in a choice of either Pistachio or Walnut. Delicious flaky pastry with not too sweet filing, one piece is a great after Dinner treat.
Other items sold include Greibeh Cookies, Barazik and Warbat.
Store’s they can be found in: Dean’s Produce, Aladdin Gourmet and Burlingame Farmers Market. There’s probably many more but these are the ones I know for certain stock them.

Was in the area and tried the walnut Baklava and it was delicious. Really good and very fresh. They make baked goods for a lot of restaurants. So if you buy it there it’s really fresh.

It’s so nice to buy freshly made baklavas ! I wish they made more juicy (short shelf life) versions on-​demand basis and delivered to ur door for parties.

Came by twice in a month, and neither time did they have any warbat (custard-​filled).
First time was around 10 am and made a special trip there based on the awesome Unilocal reviews.
Posted the review here, and the owner graciously responded by saying that since custard has a shelf life, they make limited quantities/​batches. She also mentioned that they make extra on Thursdays — and to call ahead of time.
Second time was around 8 am when they open on Thursday, though I didn’t call since I was already on my way to work. They mentioned that they were just popping them in the oven for an hour.
Kind of a bummer, but totally understandable, since they’re a wholesale outfit, and no retail storefront.
Review remains at 2-​stars though until I get to try ‘em out! ;-)

I was a skeptic when I heard that Oasis baklava was not made with honey but instead a sugar water concoction. Having tasted it, I can assure you that as much as I appreciate the traditional baklava, no honey is equally if not more delicious. The lack of honey helps the flaky phyllo layers stay crisp for DAYS and it doesn’t taste or feel overly sticky/​sweet. They are going for a less sweet syrup as the maker can’t stand eating something «with Crisco and sugar dripping».
They offer both walnut and pistachio baklava and it’s hard to decide which one is better. Although pistachios are one of my favorite nuts, the walnut baklava has a slight edge in terms of taste. Better buy both! They don’t skimp on the nuts like so many other places often do, which is a plus.
The greibeh cookies are also a buttery delight. They have regular ones as well as bite-​sized pistachio ones. They are the reason I often buy an assorted tray which includes baklava, walnut or pistachio rolls, greibeh, and kataifi. The lady who works there is the sweetest and offers free samples. This is the most adorable place set-​up like a make-​shift factory.

I love the Baklava here! It is always fresh, obviously as you are buying it right from the kitchen. I stop by frequently and pick up a small tray 8 – 16 pieces depending on how you have them cut it. Also for anyone with a honey allergy, you don’t have to worry about it, they do NOT use honey!!!
The large baklava trays are great for parties and are extremely reasonable! Everyone loves them when I bring them to parties!
The girls that work here are extremely helpful and friendly!
Best baklava!!!

NOTE: I believe they are starting to sell in small local businesses too!
I found them at Dean’s Produce (in Millbrae). Slowly but surely, they’re expanding and getting Baklava everywhere! :)
