Asali Desserts & Cafe

Ellen Weiner

We love this place. There's such a variety of desserts that it's hard to choose. They also have some really fun drinks that are novel (to me anyway) and it's always such a treat. One day we will remember they have a tea service and try it. It looks so cute and I'm jealous every time I see someone get it. The vibes are immaculate (though it can get a little loud during rushes) and the wifi is decent, so it's a great place to do remote work. HIGHLY recommend their cheesecake.

Asali is a great place to spend tea time or coffee time with friends or go alone and work while sipping your favorite beverage with pastries and sweet things or order from their menu. I’m mostly a tea drinker. They have a good choice of teas and coffees. I’ve tried their chai and Karak. Chai is very milky while Karak is a smaller cup with less milk but is very very sweet. I didn’t realize that they use condensed milk to sweeten the milky teas or I would’ve ordered something else- I have to keep my sugar in check. Other than that, Asali has a great vibe and a great number of things you can order.

I've been visiting Asali for 6 years and the place only gets better with time. Their shop is incredibly clean, offers a huge selection of cakes, pastries, and treats, and I've never had anything that was less than fresh. Everyone is always very kind, and they even have a rewards program that lets you earn free goodies. I highly suggest Asali for high end catering as well as for stopping by just to treat yourself or grab a coffee.

Our absolute go-to place for sweet treats and a relaxing atmosphere. We recently tried the Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Tart, and the Guava Puff Pastry—both were exceptional! My brother-in-law stops by almost every other week just for their coffee, which says a lot about how consistent and welcoming this place is. Whether you're in the mood for an elegant dessert, a cozy coffee outing, or just want to soak in the gorgeous interiors, Asali never disappoints. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike!

Great desserts and coffee. Ordered Kenafa Cheesecake, pistachio baklava, baklava cheesecake and Turkish coffee. I was completely wowed by the coffee. Seemed to have a slight cardamom flavor which was amazing. The pistachio baklava seemed to pair well with the coffee. The cheesecakes were also very good.

I recently visited Asali Café and really enjoyed the experience. Parking was free around the area, which is always a plus. The café itself is small, but there’s outdoor seating available. It was full inside when I went, so we sat outside, and it was still comfortable. The service was amazing—friendly and welcoming. They have a lot of dessert options, which looked so good. I tried the Turkish coffee, and honestly, it’s one of the best coffees I’ve ever had. The prices are very reasonable for both the drinks and desserts. I’ll definitely be going back, especially for the Turkish coffee, and next time I’ll make sure to try some of their desserts too.

Checked out Asali Café in Cary and loved the cozy, clean space with its warm Middle Eastern/Arabic vibe. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. They’ve got a great variety of drinks and desserts. We ordered the earl grey tea, espresso mocha mousse, and the lady bracelet. Everything tasted great! The lady bracelet was a little on the dry side, but still enjoyable. Overall, definitely recommend stopping by. Perfect spot to relax, sip something tasty, and explore their dessert selection.

Loved the red velvet latte here. They have a lovely ambiance and friendly service. I especially liked that their latte flavors are unique, which sets them apart from other coffee places nearby. Would definitely love to visit again.
