Jordanian Kunafa and Baklava at a Fifth Avenue Brooklyn Counter
This Brooklyn bakery specializes in authentic Jordanian sweets, serving up fresh kunafa, maamoul, and chocolate baklava.
Why this stop works ✨
Paradise Sweets and Bakery runs on syrup, semolina, and the smell of warm cheese pastry. This is a Fifth Avenue counter in Brooklyn built around Jordanian sweets, and you order by the piece or by the tray, eating standing up if the stools are taken.
The move here is kunafa, shredded pastry over stretchy cheese, soaked in sugar syrup and cut to order while it is still hot. Maamoul arrive stuffed with dates and pistachio, and the chocolate baklava layers nuts into something closer to candy than cake. Regulars skip the cake shop entirely and order a full kenafeh tray for weddings and parties.
At 4.1 stars across 150 reviews, portions land generous and prices stay reasonable, though a few visitors flag a mixed dessert plate that ran pricier than expected. Come hungry, bring cash, and plan to share whatever you carry out from 6739 Fifth Avenue.
