Jacksonville, Florida
Where Middle Eastern sweets meet creamy delight.
Baklava and knafeh made the way they should be, Dubai chocolate bars, and house-made gelato, all in one shop on St. Augustine Rd.
Our story
Every treat is made with intention
Step inside Ya Habibi Sweets & Ice Cream, and let your senses take a journey. Nestled at 6271 St. Augustine Rd in Jacksonville, we blend the rich traditions of Middle Eastern desserts with the creamy comfort of frozen delights.
From flaky baklava and kunafa to the popular Dubai chocolate bars and fresh strawberry cups, each bite tells a story of craftsmanship and heritage. On the ice cream side, you'll find gelato-style scoops and classic flavors like cookies & cream and chocolate, perfect for cooling off in Florida's heat.
We're more than a dessert shop. We're a place of wonder and delight. Lights softly shining on glass cases, the aroma of syrup and warm pastry, and smiles shared over sweet forks make Ya Habibi a place you come for more than dessert. It's where flavor becomes memory.
Join us any time and treat yourself to something delicious. At Ya Habibi, every taste is a welcome.

Kind words
“Worth the drive”
Exceptional customer service, excellent variety of baklava and freshly made right there. We drove more than an hour but was worth the drive and our time. The owner was awesome and patient with our changing choices.
Had little to no expectations and we came here on a whim, but it was actually a nice experience. And the ice cream tasted better than what I was ready for. I'll probably return to try another dessert.
Went there for birthday dessert a few days ago… welcomed with a lil shot of amazing coffee, items explained when asked and absolutely amazing peach cobbler ice cream. Definitely going back.
Everything we got from here was delicious, they have a huge selection of middle eastern sweets (baklava, Dubai Chocolate, knafeh) everything was amazing, and the staff was very helpful and nice.
