Meet the Samsa

An ancient delicacy, made grand.

Crisp golden phyllo hand-folded around a rich, finely ground nut filling, then glazed in syrup or dipped in chocolate. Baked, never fried. Three good bites, not one.

What's inside

Ten flavors in three tiers. The bigger the box, the deeper the collection.

Classic

In every box

Syrup & powdered nuts: sugar syrup, then a snowfall of the filling's own nut, powdered.

Pistachio & almond

Finely ground pistachio, deepened with almond: earthy, green, unmistakable.

Hazelnut & almond

Toasty, sweet hazelnut ground with almond, born for its Gianduja finish.

Pecan & almond

Buttery pecan ground with almond, deep and warm against the crisp phyllo.

House Premium

From the House Dozen up

The first step into chocolate: hazelnut-led, dipped in full.

Dark chocolate hazelnut

A full dip in dark chocolate over the toasty hazelnut filling.

Gianduja

Milk chocolate folded with chopped hazelnut, our richest finish.

Reserve

Only in The Whole House

Delicate chocolate work, reserved for the biggest box.

White chocolate pistachio

White chocolate over pistachio, creamy against green.

Dark chocolate pistachio

The deepest dip: dark chocolate over the earthy green filling.

Dark chocolate pecan

Buttery pecan under a full dark-chocolate dip, deep and warm.

Blond chocolate

Caramelized blond chocolate: toasty, biscuity, and only here.

Ruby chocolate

Naturally pink over the green pistachio filling, berry-bright and tangy.

From Our Kitchen

The real thing, fresh off the tray.

Our Story

Born on two coasts, joined by chance.

One of us was born in San Diego, California where the Pacific sets the rhythm. The other in Hammamet, Tunisia; a Mediterranean coastal town where the sweets are made of history, traditions, and patience. For a kid on that shore, the far shore had a name: America, where people built things of their own. It took an ocean and 8 years, but the far shore became home: a Long Beach kitchen where they fold the dessert of his childhood by hand. Two people, no shortcuts.

Sweet Samsa is that crossing, in pastry form: a Tunisian recipe held to an American standard of craft. It isn't just what we make, it's in our DNA. Our family's story. Tunisian roots. American excellence. Every box leaves with both.
