Absolutely love this place. Staff is really nice. They have a great selection of halal gummies, Turkish delight, and fresh roasted nuts. The whole shop is spotless and beautifully designed — very clean, modern. It’s one of my favorite spots to relax, grab a treat.  Highly recommend!

A great sweet shop just started serving variety of sweets, nuts as well as gifts in Hilliard. Authentic tastes from eastern Mediterranean. One of a kind in this style. Make sure you stop by. You won't be disappointed.

I've never seen so many Turkish delights :0 Watan is so different from other cafés because of the DOZENS of kinds of candy, chocolate, roasted and coated nuts... the entire one wall is snacks and the service counter is also filled with snacks. Lots of different sweet treats to try :) I wandered in on the soft opening day, now looking forward to the grand opening!!!
