Cher Ambrose The has hands-down the best baklava I have ever had in my life! In fact, it is how I got my boyfriend back… Short story, but a good one! If you haven’t tried her baklava… You should!

Response from the owner:Shane!!! You made my day. I'm so glad you enjoyed the Pistachio Orange Cardamom. A mother is not supposed to have favorites...but I can't help it...this one is mine too. Thanks for the compliment on me too. I love my customer friends! You all make my days extra special. I appreciate the review. Have a good night.
Best baklava ever!
Response from the owner:Thank you Elizabeth! I'm so happy that you found me again after our initial meeting at the Ogden Farmers Market. Take care and now you know where I'm at. If I can be of service to you again, PLEASE call me. I appreciate your review.
The best Baklava around I have been waiting for my birthday to take a trip to salt lake just to buy some and OMG was it worth it. Rita the owner is the absolute most amazing woman I have ever met. We left with some baklava and a cup for my birthday thank you Rita you are the best. My husband left saying "you can just tell she is a good person from her glow" I couldn't have said it better my self
Response from the owner:Madison, I am just so thrilled that Sheer Ambrosia got to be part of your birthday celebration! What an honor for me! You made my day and I loved making yours. I'm so glad you enjoy my baklava. Baklava and getting to know my customers are BOTH a huge passion of mine. Continue to enjoy your special day and remember...there's someone down in Salt Lake that appreciates you! Oh and have a wonderful Halloween party tomorrow! All the best to your hubby and sweet son. Take care! -Rita P.S. I'm headed to Freshies for a late lunch/early dinner. Thx for telling me about them!
Absolutely incredible!! The taste is flawless, and Rita is the kindest human I've met!! Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Ali!!! Thank you so much! Wow! What a wonderful review. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed my baklava and even more touched that you consider me a kind human. Both are beautiful to hear, but the "kindest human" part...well, my mom would say, "mission accomplished!" I was taught to love on people and treat everyone with absolute respect. I'm so glad that came across. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. Big hugs!
Rita creates the most incredible baklava I have ever tasted. Definitely best baklava in Utah. Crispy, crunchy, moist, decadent, I could go on.

I will return again and again. Could not be happier to support a locally owned business.
Response from the owner:Landon, Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the baklava—it means the world to me to know it brought you joy. Your support of my local business keeps me going, and I can’t wait to welcome you back again and again! Have a wonderful night and take care! -Rita
If you’re searching for authentic, handcrafted baklava (& locally made!) look no further

Rita pours her heart into every batch. Her baklava is not just a dessert - it’s a work of art, layered with care, made from the highest-quality ingredients, and delivered with unmatched consistency.

You’re supporting a small business built on generosity & craftsmanship!
Response from the owner:Oh Tiffany! You were a joy from the moment you called me. It is customers like you that truly make all the late nights and early mornings worth it. Thank you for your warmth and the fun conversation. And look at your nails...they match the box! I love it. I appreciate the awesome review! Until the next time. Hugs, -Rita
Rita is the kindest, most talented (and beautiful!!) culinary artist I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She left me and my coworkers an entire box of her apple pie walnut baklava to try and we all agreed it was phenomenal. One of the best deserts and best baklavas I’ve ever had. 💚💚💚💚
Response from the owner:Graice, Who needs that old other coffee place when Dutch Brothers is in town! You and your team are ALWAYS so sweet to me. I love picking up my coffee from you all on the way to work because I know it's going to be a good time. Thank you for your kindness, smiles, and sweet curious spirit and thanks for reaching out and wanting to try my baklava. I'm thrilled that you all enjoyed it. You truly are such a warm, hardworking bunch and I love coming to see you. This review made my day and I am thankful that you enjoyed my passion for baklava as much as I do. Blessings and probably until tomorrow my new friend. Coffee, baklava, and kindness...what more do we all need in life. Ha! Ha! Ha!

About Rita

From My Kitchen to Yours

Baking baklava started as a love letter to family, friends, and community. Today, Rita and her team pour the same care into every pan they make — brushing each layer by hand so that when you take a bite, you taste the devotion baked right in.
OUR FOUNDER'S STORY
Rita, the owner, is absolutely lovely and has truly mastered the art of baklava. Between her love for the craft, the high-quality ingredients, and her attention to detail, you won’t find better—trust me.
