The Baklava Company is a contemporary café nestled on Upper George Street in Luton, offering a bright and modern spot to enjoy a diverse range of specialty coffees, teas, and Middle Eastern-inspired desserts. Locals appreciate it as a relaxed yet stylish place to drop in for both casual catch-ups and more laid-back solo coffee breaks.

Stepping inside, you'll notice the interior blends chic, minimalist design with warm lighting, giving off an upscale vibe that some visitors compare to cafes they'd find in Dubai. The atmosphere is welcoming without being overly formal, making it comfortable whether you're meeting friends or settling in with your laptop for a bit.

The menu leans heavily on quality espresso-based drinks alongside a unique selection of flavored iced lattes and teas, including Karak Chai and Pink Chai, which give a nod to local tastes and Middle Eastern influences. These tea options, alongside classic espresso brews and inventive iced varieties, make it a spot worth trying throughout the day, although mid-mornings and early afternoons seem most popular with those coming for a caffeine boost or an afternoon treat.

Baklava lovers will feel at home here, with the namesake dessert and other sweet offerings drawing positive attention for their texture and sweetness balance. Frequent visitors often mention pairing their drinks with the bakery’s softer, richer cakes, such as the "dream cake," to complete the experience. The quality of these pastries adds a comforting, indulgent element that complements the café’s fresh beverage lineup.

The café’s clientele is a mix of local professionals, students, and families, reflecting Luton's diverse community. Friendly and attentive staff contribute to making visits feel personal without intruding, which adds to the overall ease of hanging out here for a while.

While there isn’t dedicated outdoor seating, the lively but clean interior creates a pleasant environment that works well year-round. For anyone looking to escape the hustle momentarily or share a casual meetup with a small group, The Baklava Company steadily fits the bill. Its blend of Middle Eastern flavors and familiar café standards makes it an approachable addition to Luton’s local coffee scene.

Absolutely Delightful First Visit to The Baklava Company in Luton! Wow! what an amazing experience we had at The Baklava Company in Luton! We visited as a small group of 3 people alongside The Amanah Project, and it was our very first time coming here, but definitely not the last! In fact, we’re already talking about when we can go again! We tried the Karnak Chai (sugar-free) and the Baboosa Slice, and let us just say — BOTH were absolutely delicious! The Karnak chai was so rich, flavourful, and aromatic and you’d never guess it was sugar-free! The baboosa slice? OMG Soft, sweet, and just heavenly the perfect blend of texture and taste. We all loved it! We intend to return to try more items in the menu The staff were incredibly polite, welcoming, and friendly. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. They were very kind , and their warm service really stood out and added so much to the experience. As for the environment absolutely stunning! The interior design is both modern and elegant, with beautiful decor, a relaxed atmosphere, and a calm vibe. It’s also super clean and hygienic, which we really appreciated. The toilets were very clean and smelled very nicely Every corner felt thoughtfully designed and well maintained. We’re so happy this was part of our journey with The Amanah Project, it left such a lasting impression on us. It’s rare to find a place in Luton that gets everything right, but The Baklava Company truly delivered on all fronts. We can’t wait to come back again soon, inshaAllah! Highly recommended to everyone looking for quality sweets, great drinks, top-tier service, and a beautiful place to enjoy them in. Thank you, Baklava Company!

I recently attended my first ladies-only event hosted by the Amanah Project in Luton, and it was such a refreshing and uplifting experience! The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and truly focused on bringing Muslim women together to connect and feel part of a strong community. One of the highlights of my evening was my iced pistachio latte – perfectly smooth, creamy, and full of flavour. And of course, I couldn’t leave without trying their famous baklava! The baklavas were beautifully presented, so fresh, and absolutely delicious – each bite was the perfect balance of crunch, sweetness, and that irresistible pistachio richness. The service was quick and Maryam was super polite and friendly when she gave us our drinks! I love that events like these not only give us a safe and positive space to meet but also introduce us to such amazing treats. Honestly, the baklava alone is worth coming back for – but combined with the sisterhood and uplifting environment, it made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend both the Amanah Project events and The Baklava Company – a perfect match of community and quality!
