I’ve traveled to several countries throughout the Mediterranean, as well as, Dubai. I can honestly say that there is NO gourmet dessert cafe in all of North Carolina that transports me back to those locations like Asali does.Their seating layout/options, decor, and vibe are everything! They create, make, and bake all their desserts in house (Tip: research the couple’s humble beginnings in 2000.)Their coffee beans are from a popular local roaster, and their baristas actually make your drink with a La Marzocco espresso machine (unlike the big chains).Their staff is welcoming and the amount of unique desserts, savory bites and drinks are to die for. I love their Turkish/Arabic coffee!The cafe i...
Sigh, I had high hopes for this place from the moment of finding it on Google up until getting our goodies boxed. In our precious treasure chest of treats was baklava cheesecake, the Lotus cake, and a normal slice of baklava. Once home and ready to dive in, my fellow dessert lover were sorely disappointed. The baklava cheesecake tasted like any frozen cheesecake you can purchase at the grocery store, and the baklava layer atop was just kinda...lying there on top, zero cohesion. Furthermore, despite the cheesecake coming with a simple syrup to drizzle over your slice, it was still rather dry. Speaking of dry...wow, was the Lotus cake dry as hell! As my partner mentioned, a boxed cake has bett...
Service was friendly. 4 stars though because 1 of the 3 desserts they gave me was wrong and it had to be corrected (which it was).I have been stalking Asali on Instagram for months and was super stoked to finally have an opportunity to try some of their desserts. Have to be honest though, I was disappointed. I ordered the Kenafa cheese, peach mousse, and baklava cheesecake. The Kenafa cheese was my favorite--unique and interesting mix of savory cheese and sweet sauce. The peach mousse and baklava cheesecake didn't have any flavor. If I had been blindfolded and given both I dont think I'd be able to tell the difference. The baklava itself was good, but the cheesecake and mousse were interchan...
If you haven't been to Asali, run, don't walk. This is my favorite bakery/cafe, bar none. The coffee is always good. The desserts are the real stars though. From the best cakes I've ever had to fancy stacked desserts to the best baklava outside of my mom's, Asali has it all. They have the basic cookies, chocolate cake, and lemon bars, but they also have such wild treats as baklava cheesecake, triple chocolate mousse, and kenefa creams. Their seasonal flavors are also amazing. Today I enjoyed a blueberry pancake cake slice with maple swiss buttercream. It's wildly good. This is my go to place for desserts, special occasions, and just needing to get out after working from home.Dietary restrict...

I’m unsure how anyone can say anything negative about Asali. We have tried many bakeries in the triangle and Asali is so high above the rest! Their Turkish coffee is phenomenal, their house made syrups for the lattes are so much better than fake sugary ones, and their desserts are as beautiful in presentation as they are when they melt in your mouth. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is friendly.(Picture is from November with their autumn specials)
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Asali Desserts and Cafe, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed .The dessert selection at Asali is nothing short of remarkable.I was delighted to find that their coffee matched the high standard set by their desserts. Their cortado is the best!!!!Asali Desserts and Cafe is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exquisite desserts and good coffee.

The staff here are mostly rude. Was in many times, only one of the many staff members would greet with a hello or good bye. A thank you is rare when you are done ordering. The proprietor 's male partner would glare at me when I walked in. Proprietor would avoid eye contact.
This is how coffee shop needs: desserts! The desserts not only look pretty but also taste yummy!
