Al Mina Mediterranean Patisserie

Arguably the best range of mediterranean-middle east-turkish sweet nom-noms in South Australia! They even have sugar-free baklava and other sugar-free cakes + vegan and gluten-free. Situated next to Marcellina's on Main North Road, it is the perfect place to go after you have downed an excellent pescatore pizza from next door. You can eat in or take away.There is even great tasting gelati at the back next to the full size espresso machine.The freshly made turkish delight is available in traditional rose, lemon, orange, almond, mint, sesame coated (and another five flavours). I tasted the lemon which had excellent flavour and smooth texture.The mammoul are crunchy with a delightful sweet crushed walnut filling.I worked my way through only about 1/20th of the mega range of patisseries and biscuits/slices and have to say that they make the best to be found of any example you care to choose.This beats the place in Ann Street Thebarton, which was a previous fave of mine.We paid $12 for 6 large pieces (Katefi, Namoura, mammoul, Baklava, turkish delight etc) on a tray, plus two scoops of chocolate gelati in a cup. According to their facebook page they also have a stall at Arndale shopping centre.

Al Mina have a delicious range of Mediterranean pastries and sweets, including gluten free, which are all made on site. (They are also wholesalers.) They have Arabic, Turkish and French desserts so you are spoilt for choice. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The coffees are good but not outstanding, and the prices are quite reasonable.The location is certainly not idyllic, being on Main North Rd at Blair Athol. On the other hand, it's only two doors from Atlantic DVD, so my wife and I often end up coming home with dessert to have while we watch our film :-)

Adventure began with my friend & I going there on a weekly basis to practice our sign language whilst enjoying a lovely cup of coffee or some other wonderful beverage. We are surrounded by these delicious goodies from the Middle East. Last week (2.6.14) I decided to buy some and take them home! Oh! My! Goodness! They are to die for! The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is very welcoming, bright and lively, the staff...you become a part of the family! Yes we certainly will keep on going! Thanks Al Mina!!!
