    We've gone to Dar Rafikis a couple of times and really enjoyed it each time. The pastries from there are so delicious! The trompe l'oeil pastries have been our favorites. They are so fun, refreshing, and full of flavor. We also really enjoyed their flaky and buttery croissants. Each time, the staff has been so friendly. The most recent time, the person at the register saw us admiring the foreign money on the wall and started telling us about them, which we really appreciated! The place is pretty small, which means sometimes the line goes outside when it gets too long. Also, the parking lot is fairly small with a 7/11 as well. My biggest disappointment was that their Instagram has a pinned post that they start serving trompe l'oeil at 10:30 AM. We arrived at 10:15 AM and went inside to check it out, and many of the trompe l'oeil were already sold out or had very little remaining on their trays. (i.e. in the picture attached you can see only one lemon and 1 cocoa bean remaining, and the peach, bananas, raspberry, and peanuts are almost sold out). Lastly, some of the pastries are a little pricey. The trompe l'oeil make sense for the amount of work that goes into them, but it seems like the prices of some of the other pastries could be a tad cheaper. Be prepared to really spend when you go here. Overall, we enjoy it here and will absolutely be back. Thank you for delicious pastries!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐nnI visited Dar Rafiki in Haverhill to try their viral 3D pastries, and all I can say is WOW. Every pastry I tried was absolutely delicious. The strawberry pastry was my favorite, and honestly, some of the best pastry I’ve ever had.

    What made the experience even more special was the incredible customer service. The owner and the young woman with curly hair working there were some of the sweetest, kindest, and most professional people I’ve ever met in a restaurant. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel so welcomed. They made sure I had everything I needed, and when they saw how much I loved the strawberry pastry, they even surprised me with an extra one. That small act of kindness meant so much.

    The atmosphere was beautiful, the pastries were fresh and unique, and the hospitality was unmatched. I had seen their pastries all over TikTok and Instagram and finally decided to try them for myself. They exceeded every expectation.

    If you’re thinking about visiting, do yourself a favor and go. Amazing pastries, amazing people, and an amazing experience. I can’t wait to come back!

    Stopped in on a whim. Everything was unbelievable! I really didn’t know what to expect. They were $6.99 each. Bit into the coffee first - it was a hard shell with coffee mousse (tasted like light and airy coffee ice cream) inside. The strawberry croissant will filled with strawberry cream. The cream wasn’t my favorite, but it really tasted amazing regardless. The staff were friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back to try others!

    Dar Rafiki’s makes high quality pastries. The cube croissant and filled croissant were great but in my opinion the real stars of the show were the more basic options. The cheese Danish and the almond croissant were unbelievable. Can't wait to try some more

    Dar Rafiki’s is an amazing bakery with beautiful and delightfully tasting pastries/treats/food items with pleasant, thoughtful, and kind staff. I have come here for a few months now every once in a while and every visit is pleasant and you can tell this business cares about their customers. Their croissants are so buttery and delectable and the viral Trompe pastries have such good flavor and they always have a new variety.
