Greek Pastry: Baklava, Kataifi and Traditional Sweets

Greek pastry is where honey, nuts and thin phyllo meet. At Greek Flavours you can buy traditional Greek pastries and sweets online, shipped from Greece to the United States, from the classics of the bakery counter to the small treats served with coffee.

The Classics of the Greek Bakery

Baklava

Layers of thin phyllo, chopped nuts and syrup or honey, baked until crisp and soaked to a rich, sweet finish. Baklava is the best known Greek pastry and the centerpiece of a sweet table.

Kataifi and saragli

Kataifi is made with fine shredded pastry wrapped around nuts and soaked in syrup. Saragli is a rolled baklava, coiled rather than layered. Both share the same phyllo, nuts and honey base as baklava, in a different shape.

Phyllo and pastry sheets

Thin phyllo and crust pastry for making your own baklava, pies and desserts at home. Keep a pack in the freezer and you are a tray away from a fresh bake.

Coffee sweets and cookies

Small traditional sweets and cookies for coffee time, from honey-dipped bites to simple butter cookies.

How to Serve Greek Pastry

Serve baklava and kataifi in small pieces with a strong coffee, the sweetness is meant to be balanced by the bitterness of the cup. A spoonful of thick yogurt on the side cuts the syrup. Most Greek pastries keep for several days at room temperature under a cover.
