Samaha’s Baklava

Tastemaker

Nov. 1, 2025

It’s November, which means it’s time for all things comfy and cozy—and that includes food. We got the tip from Hilbert’s Honey in Traverse City that Samaha’s baklava was back in their “Honey House” on 5 Mile Rd on Mondays. Made with flaky, golden phyllo dough, drenched in Hilbert’s Michigan-made honey, and packed with walnuts, cinnamon, cardamom, and lemon zest, these sweet bites are not to be missed. A 4-by-4-inch packaged box is $25, which makes it perfect for gifting in the busy holiday season. And don’t miss out on Samaha’s other treats, from chocolate espresso scones and apple streusel quickbread to jalapeño cheddar sourdough. Shop their full selection and see where else this small-batch bakery will pop up this fall at samahabakery.com.
