suggestions for different flavors for her sweets.
“I try to take as many suggestions as possible
with flavors,” Khalife said. “A lot of new
customers are because of existing clients,
so it's basically just bringing creativity to it.”
In addition to being open to customers’
input, Khalife has been expanding on
sweets to fill the growing demand for vegan
and gluten-free options. She uses the best
ingredients while still keeping prices friendly
for the Astoria community.
“Our price point is somewhat aligned with
all the bakeries around here,” Razan said,
“but Nerwan also realized that you can’t
cut corners when it comes to ingredients, so
everything is in-house. Our buttercream is
actually just butter and sugar; we don’t use
Crisco, or any artificial ingredients.”
While Khalife and her family continue
to expand their customer base in Astoria,
they hope to keep growing in popularity by
bringing high-quality and delicious treats to
the area. Their next goal is to open up a bakery
in the city in the future. Right now, their
hope is to bring something new to the area
with Khalife’s unique pastry visions.
