Social Profile:

Hailing from entrepreneurial families, Hanadi and Jamaal always dreamed of owning their own business. Jamaal’s mother, a master at baking Mediterranean treats, graciously shared her secret family recipes with the two, and the couple got to work in the kitchen. While brainstorming names for their new venture, they combined their last names, Asad and Ali, to form Asali. They quickly discovered that Asali is also the word for sweets and honey in both Arabic and Persian – a happy coincidence! Seeing an opportunity to seize their dream, Asali Desserts was founded in 2001. Since then, Asali has expanded to include specialty cakes and event services, as well as a brick-and-mortar cafe in Cary’s MacGregor Village.

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.

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.

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.

Came here with friends and our eyes were delighted by the sweets. We didn’t know what to pick with so many choices. Unfortunately our eyes were deceived. The scone and coffee cake were dry which is why I rated this a 1star there The carrot cake was better because there was frosting. The coffee was good. The staff was friendly and atmosphere was crowded on a Saturday. I spent $25 on two coffees and three desserts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A total disappointment 🙁
We were searching for the Mille Feuille cake or something similar like the Napoleon.
We found it in Asali from reviews and went to visit.
We ordered the Napoleon and the cheese cake, also 2 large Tea
The Napoleon was NOT authentic Napoleon with a little crunchy flaky layers, it was totally mushy, the custard cream was bland, lack of taste and sugar. The cheese cake had heavy texture, no taste and again, lack of sweetness.
The tea was just OK.
The total of the bill was $35 for 2 cakes and 2 lg cups of tea.
Service was attentive on taking orders and on deliver the food to the table, the rest was mostly self service.
Ambiance was OK, the cafe decorated subtle with nice lighting, lots of people working or doing homework with their laptops
We were so hyped up to have found somewhere we could have liked and to be our go to, but it was a total disappointment.
We won’t be back and the search for a good bakery continues

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!
