Just went back to get a pound for a party treat and a plate for myself. Omggggg these are so good. One had a hint of rose, another a hint of mint - the way they create with flavor is uncanny. Like I've never had baklava this good! The cashier was super pleasant and patient, as we asked every question under the sun. Every selection there should be had at least once. The treat was a hit at the party for first time baklava eaters! I honestly wish I had eaten these first, it would've changed my outlook on this delectable dessert. The display counter is beautiful. All options come with a brief explanation. Dang, I'm making myself hungry just thinking about these little guys. read more

Went there today, I've been wanting to try their baklava for forever! It did NOT disappoint, it was super flaky and had a perfect sweetness. Not only was the food good but so was the service, I asked the kind lady to choose what she thought was the best items, as I've never gone here before. The store itself had so many options which is why I needed some help. Her choices were spectacular and she was super nice. I can't wait to go here again! (PS Try their Kataifi Cashew Birds Nest) read more

You might go for Baklava but you will come back for its baked goods! OMG HOW DELICIOUS they are. The manoushe, both Zaatar and cheese are the best I've had in all of California. The lahmbajin is INSANE! The baker must be soooo talented because I've never had such yummy food in years! read more

Fresh & delicious! I bought a large tray for an event I was hosting. Got there at opening, 8:30am. The staff was kind and quick. Thank you! read more

We stopped by as tourists and bought a small box filled with pistachio fingers, cashew fingers, baklava pistachio and baklava walnut. Everything was fresh, not too sweet and light! The woman behind the counter who advised us was friendly and nice as she helped us. Nice selections to choose from. One of these days I'll try the Ashta ice cream! read more

If you're a baklava fan, look no further. Baklava Factory is like walking into a surreal baklava-lover's dream! The shop is wall to wall baklava, of all types, shapes, and flavors. They even have sugar-free baklava, which is incredibly hard to find! Located on Ventura Blvd in Encino, Baklava Factory is a one of a kind shop. If you're a baklava lover, you must come in and sample some. read more

1. When I bought dried fruits for the first time, the seller set the price at $5, the next day they set the price at $7, I said that yesterday it cost $5 and they set the price at $5. They just set the price they want, it's disgusting and completely disrespectful. 2. The cashiers' behavior is disgusting. I've been there twice, and both times the cashiers disgusted me, they were rude and unpleasant. I definitely won't come back here again. read more

Baklava factory has a delicious variety of desserts! They have a variety of baklava that are great! My person's favorite is the pistachio, but the almond, and walnut are also great. They also had Dubai chocolate and it was delicious! The service was great as the sales associate was very helpful and her recommendations all tasted great. The store itself is clean and spacious. The parking isn't great as you have to find street parking on Ventura blvd but if you go at the right time, it won't be an issue. read more

The first time I ever had baklava was in the 70's at a deli in Pasadena (sadly, no longer there), and until I came across the Baklava Factory I thought I would never be able to have that same experience again... but the selection of baklava styles here is astounding, and yes, they have that same little cylinder of filo pastry goodness dripping with honey and sprinkled with pistachio dust... it took me back all those 40+ years ago to that first experience. Whether you are looking for a quick little taste for yourself, or stocking up for a party, the staff here are friendly and happy to help you out! Everything is laid out in well lit cases so you can see the selection well. This is THE place to go if you are looking for baklava. read more

Delicious and incredible. Knowledgeable staff made great recommendations! They do it by the pound, which I love because you can just load up a container and stop whenever. Every single one that we tried had a unique and fantastic flavor. You definitely need to eat before you go because if not you will just keep piling more into the container LOL. They have a cute sitting area and a couch we chilled on for a bit before walking down the street. Will definitely be back to try more flavors! read more

The best baklava in town, The worst service out of all their locations. I've never had an issue asking what has only pistachio or only cashew. I have a minor allergy to walnuts. Not terrible but not fun to eat a bunch of. Today's woman didn't speak and when asked answered all walnut all nuts When I clarified I am allergic to walnuts she cut me off and said "but you just bought walnuts". I said yes! For other people, what do you mean? Are the nuts you are sprinkling over my cashew baklava with walnuts? Yes or no? Arguing about questions is not great. I don't think she should be front of house. Everyone else however is wonderful at communicating. read more

I've been coming here for over a decade. During each visit, I am greeted so kindly by the staff! The baklava is always so fresh (even at the end of the night). If you want a sweet treat for yourself, dessert for your guests, or a "wow" gift when going to somebody's home, I highly recommend! read more

Sweet tooth tour continues lol! I was craving some Baklava so I Yelped :) Decided to give this place a try. They have a decent selection of treats. But not the ordinary stuff. More culturally specific. Everyone was friendly and helpful. It was about $20 per pound for Baklava. Seems pricey but it was yummy! Gave us a free sample too. A-ok! (First meter in front of Tire shop was broken ;) all the other cars behind and front of me got a ticket while we shopped but not me!) read more

Walked past the Baklava Factory and saw the wide variety and I knew I had to go inside! Baklava Factory has 3 Los Angeles locations, all with traditional and contemporary takes on the baklava. It's $18/lb, so take your pick at basically everything! I got their traditional baklava pistachio and various walnut ones. The staff and service are top tier, they suggested some of their favorites (rolled baklava) and it's now my favorite too! These are excellent gifts and sweet treats for yourself, highly recommend checking them out. I can't wait to go back! read more

While picking up lunch next door I noticed this place looking gorgeous from the sidewalk. I had a few minutes to spare so decided to walk in. Thankful I did because welcome to dessert paradise! I quickly gravitated towards the pastry desserts. An over abundance but necessary amount of options. To my pleasure, there was a plentiful selection of pistachio treats. As a future Pistachio farmer, I had to sample as much as I could. I ended up with half a dozen different pistachio versions. Every single one was delicious!!! Great buy and find. Eager to take my mom here to sample. Lesson of the day: Never leave a stone unturned! Never know what treasure may pop up! read more

The absolute worst baklava we've ever had! Have ordered from here a few times sometimes it's decent sometimes a little stale but this time it was absolutely horrible and rotten! Had 3 pieces with friends and we couldn't even finish those, threw them up and trashed the rest! Save your money! read more

I've been to this location a few times, but hadn't come in a while. The cashiers are always rude, but yesterday i came in to get a few pieces of baklava, why was she rushing me ??? when the place was empty's she seemed annoyed that i asked for two separate orders. As in two separate containers, she kept insisting i get one box. i said one was for someone else. The cashier wanted to pack them in the same container. Then to get to the register and why was 8 pieces of it 27 dollars. The price has increased dramatically. This is sooo over priced and for the customer service you get, i would never come back. read more

Stopped by Baklava Factory and had a really good experience. The person helping me was genuinely nice and welcoming, which made the visit even better.

Absolutely hands down the best baklava in the state of California and probably all of the west coast! I spend crazy money when I go here and pickup an entire platter assortment of goodies to take back up home to the Bay. Incredible. I have no words. GET HERE. read more

Great baklava but they use walnuts instead of pistachios. I've discovered almost every baker does the same, even in Istanbul Turkey so it is a nuance lost. I've discovered almost do like their stuff though read more

If there is any style of baklava you crave, you can find it here. From pistachio, walnut, cashew, and almond fillings flavored with spices such as cardamom and cinnamon, Baklava Factory delivers on satisfying your sweet tooth cravings. Pastries are baked fresh daily. My personal favorite are the Persian style baklava with almond and cardamom; however, be adventurous and try their chocolate baklava which is a delicious surprise. read more

I ordered Baklava for my wife's birthday party and everyone liked it. The ordering process was simple and fast. If you enjoy Baklava, I recommend this place. From the moment I placed my order, the staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring that everything went smoothly. The Baklava arrived beautifully packaged, fresh, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. Our guests were impressed by the quality and authenticity of the dessert, which added a special touch to our celebration. Overall, I was very satisfied with both the service and the product, and would happily order from here again for future occasions. read more

Came 6 minutes before closing to pickup a couple pieces of baklava. The woman is inside on the phone and proceeds to tell me they are closed. If you're open til 8pm, be open until 8pm. I understand if it were a restaurant where they are making and prepping meals that coming in just before closing can be considered rude. But that's not the case here when the baklava is already prepared. They have decent baklava, but terrible customer service. When I called right after to explain this, the woman yelled at me and then hung up. Won't be coming back! read more

I am a huge fan of baklava although it's been hard to find some good traditional baklava in the valley and I have found it! We tried a couple things and ended up coming back in the same hour to get the traditional baklava and the chocolate baklava! We're definitely going to come back. They price it out by weight and they put it in a clear container. The first lady that helped us added pistachio green powder for decor which was nice and the other lady who helped us the 2nd time didn't add it in - curious to know if you have to ask for it next time. It's more for the aesthetic they said ;) read more

I mean, how can you not love Baklava?! This store has tons of different options ranging some with cashew, walnuts, pistachios, chocolate, one with shredded wheat on top and the list goes on! Since there were so many options, we were kindly given suggestions. I ended up getting a pound for about $19 (which includes tax). Looking at my picture, besides the original/most common squared baklava that I normally get; I loved the two upper left options, the plain baklava and the cookie like one (great crumble crust). ... the baklava can last up to two weeks (if you can make it that long!). I will definitely return. read more

Yum, such a cute and affordable little shop of sweets and other treats! I come for the baklava, of course. They don't have too many labels, though, so it can be a bit difficult to figure out what to order. There's baklava with nuts, chocolate or just plain baklava. You really can't go wrong, especially at a couple bucks or so a piece. Bring cash if you can. It's on Ventura Blvd in Encino. There's parking in the back or metered street parking out front. read more

I was so impressed by their baklawa. I thought it's just A regular shop, probably not fresh or anything but wow it exceeded my expectations by ALOTTT. It was so fresh that you couldn't stop eating it. I like sweets but I don't go out of my way to eat them but this place, it was so good that I could not resist so I ate more than I anticipated but it was super delicious fresh and tasty. I couldn't be more satisfied! Although it might be a bit on the pricy side but nonetheless it's worth it read more

Best baklava in Los Angeles! I don't go to any other company. All locations have the same great quality.

Very rude lady!! We asked if a particular baklava had walnuts and she got ANGRY with us on the phone. Saying "she doesn't know" and she's VERY BUSY to be on the phone? I'm sorry, we have workers that have WALNUT allergies that is why we explained it and it's always empty inside. Super rude situation for something pretty serious due to a medical allergy, which it does NOT note on their box as well. read more

Tucked away in the heart of Encino, California, the Baklava Factory is a hidden gem that transports you directly to a sweet paradise of Arabic and Mediterranean pastries. Once you see the counter with the priceless pastries, you are greeted by a world of culinary magic that's as delightful to the senses as it is to the palate. This bakery may not be showy, but don't let its modest exterior fool you. The moment you cross the threshold, you're welcomed into a bright, clean space where two primary counters stand like sentinels, showcasing a tantalizing array of fresh-baked treats. Although there are only one or two tables, the rest of the space is intentionally left open, creating an airy ambiance that allows the true star of the show - the pastries - to take center stage. It is most likely a place where you order and go. Every pastry here tells a story of dedication, craftsmanship, and love for the art of baking. Each morsel is freshly made daily, and is on display as if they are each calling out to you to choose them to go home with you. The variety is truly impressive, featuring everything from traditional baklava to more unique creations, ensuring there's something to satisfy every sweet tooth. But the crown jewel of the Baklava Factory has to be its namesake - the baklava. I wouldn't call myself a baklava lover, but this baklava has fully converted me. I can confidently say that this place serves the best baklava I've ever had. The pistachio baklava is a masterpiece: each layer is perfectly flaky, the sweetness is just right, and the pistachio filling complements the honey-soaked crust in a way that can only be described as heavenly. This is not just a dessert; it's a sensory experience that takes you on a journey of taste and texture with every bite. When I arrived, there was a man in front of me whose wife had ordered the baklava, and there was some mixup in price. Apparently, someone had quoted the wrong price for the delicious desserts. What was a testament to the tempting treats is that man then offered to pay more so that he could take home the treat. He insisted that his pregnant wife could not live a second more without having a bite of the baklava. He repeatedly tried to tell the person at the counter that he would gladly pay any price so that he could get his baklava. Finally, the person at the counter resolved the problem and informed him that he didn't need to pay any extra -- the mistake was on their end -- and that he should enjoy the treats. What could have turned out as a major dispute turned out beautifully and reflected the true attitude of the shopkeeper and how their attention to detail for the desserts was also reflected in their attention to detail to the transaction. The Baklava Factory is more than just a bakery; it's a celebration of Arabic and Mediterranean flavors, a testament to the art of baking, and a must-visit stop for any dessert lover. read more
