I wanted to try the bakery, since I walk past it early every morning on our dog walk. I stopped by, purchased two dozen expensive macarons for my book group, brought home a few left over cookies, and just bit into one that was so old it was hard. I cannot imaging how old it needed to be to get that hard, but they seem to not be rotating out stale stock. I'm a one and done customer. read more

Let's start with whats most important. I've been on a Croffle hunt lately and came across this place from my yelp search. Got my booty over here and ordered me up the classic flavor of Nutella and strawberries. I usually get them simple with just some powder sugar but not on the menu here. The croffle is one You can definitely share with someone for a nice mid day snack or breakfast. The croffle was cooked perfectly and how can you go wrong with the toppings? Delicious! Will definitely go back to try the other croffle styles. The service could be more warm from the workers. Place is cute but Detail cleaning on tables and maybe vacuuming the seats daily? I found lose human hair on the seats read more

I find myself walking in Old Town Pasadena on a regular basis. I happened upon this lovely place. I enjoyed my coffee and the great, fresh tasting turkey sandwich. I have since been back several times, and with other people. We have all had no complaints. One person especially enjoyed the Chai Latte, and Lox with Croissant. Nice seating area to relax and enjoy your coffee and pastries, too. read more

Took a nice drive here from uptown Whittier & was looking forward to ordering the spiral croissant. My first bite was pretty tough on the outside layer & there wasn't much filling, like you see on the videos. 5/10 I did like that it wasn't overly sweet & it had a hint of matcha! customer service was awesome & right away very helpful Cute spot read more

A nice study spot! I ordered a hazelnut latte. It was good, not too sweet. Coffee wasn't bitter. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Didn't try the pastries, but they have a large selection. They serve hot food as well. The ambiance is nice, cozy, and clean. I also ordered a shot of espresso to keep my momentum going. I look forward to coming back and trying food. There is construction, which was a bit loud and distracting at sporadic times. Enjoyed my time here. read more

This is a super cute bakery right off of the main Colorado stretch in Old Town Pasadena. I was so surprised by how big it was inside and the fact that they even have free Wi-Fi if you want to sit down and get some work done. They open early and have coffee in addition to their baked goods so it's a perfect place to catch up with friends or sit down for a little bit. The only thing is it's a bit hard to find parking in the area and generally an additional cost. The service was super nice and it seems like the workers here really enjoy baking as well so I love supporting those who are passionate about their craft read more

Delectable! Delicious! Delight! Amazing pastries that tasted just as good as they looked! We'll definitely be back to try more!

What a gem of a bakery. Most of my "go to" bakeries were closed on Tuesday or permanently closed before the new year. I found this bakery on yelp and loved picture of the family who started this bakery. I bought a doz pastries for my women's group - RAVE reviews. I HIGHLY recommend this family owned bakery for excellent pastries and wonderful service. I hope you try it! read more

My rating is mainly because of my experienced. After having Kbbq next door for dinner with friends, we decided to check this place out since it looked cute and we wanted to have coffee and dessert. We had no idea thatcthe place closes at 9pm, I guess it was our bad that we forgot to check the hours before coming in. But then, they could've told ys when we ordered for dine in that they are closing soon right? So we ordered croissant, macaroons, 1 more pastry and coffees. And then the young girl asked us if we are still going to get more water from their dispenser and we said no and just told us that "we're closed", we were still in the middle of eating and drinking the coffee and after 2 min that she told us they're closed, SHE TURNED OFF the lights on us. We were seating at the very corner and to our surprised, she did that. It was dark and we fall find it VERY UNPROFFFESSIONAL AND RUDE TO TREAT CUSTOMERS LIKE THAT. I get it she want to leave but she could have atleast waited for 5 mins because she still has to clean up anyways. I think this gurl that was on duty on Saturday night, 2/15/25 and did the closing need to be re-trained in how to provide a good customer service. Sadly, due to what we experience, we are no longer coming back to this place. That girl was just RUDE. On the side note. We moved to Boba ChaCha accross the street and we just witnessed what is the real great customer service is, they actually closed at 10pm and they turned off their menu (TV) but we noticed that people kept coming in ordering from the kiosk and even sat in the chairs and the girl there even tookd their orders still and guess what she decided to just kept open so she turned their TV menu back on. Save yourself some trouble, just go to that Boba Chacha if yiu want to experience a great customer service, because if you go to this cafe they will only turn their lights off on you and it is very RUDE. read more

I tried two flavors of crossonts. Rose and Butter(plain) based on the suggestion of clerk. If you indulge in the sweet, please choose lychee. Butter croissant I can enjoy the flanky, crunch and soft inner layer. There were other two young man, came in and order the white chocolate bark cake! It looks fancy and very Holiday vibe! I also saw the other yummy tasty pastery and desserts. However, I cannot have them all in one time.Thus, definitely will come back again. read more

Everything is 5 out of 5. Got a few selections and honestly would go everyday, if they don't break my bank. All pastry is full of layers, crispy, flaky. Anything with filling are perfect sweetness and smoothness. They are all big size. Makes a satisfying eat. Coffee is nice and smooth. Staffs are really nice, friendly, and helpful. They have 1 outdoor table. Nice, quiet, and spacious enough to hang comfortably with my dog. Parking in the street or structure. It is pasadena. read more

Picked up a cake for Mother's Day! We ordered ahead. They actually had a good selection of cakes and other pastries ready to go for sale but we wanted to be sure and called in the order. The frosting was smooth and creamy paired well with the lightly sweet chocolate sponge. The macaron toppings and light gold leaf stencil added an elevated touch! The cake was also neatly boxed with a quality padded board, for easy removal from box and better cut experience. read more

Went for a walk today after work around Pasadena on Raymond Ave and stumbled upon this cute pastry shop. They have a lot of croissants and other pastries. I tried the Jalapeno Cheddar Scone and the Matcha Pistachio Croissant. Both were delish! I also tried a cup of Jasmine Blossom Tea, I really, really like hot tea... and this tea hit the spot!! The Pistachio Croissant was buttery and flaky. The Jalapeno Cheddar Scone was good, but i was hoping for a more spicy taste since it had jalapeños in it. Store was very clean and the girl at the counter was very friendly telling me about the different croissant flavors. read more

Got 3 croissants ham and cheese croissant Mini matcha pistachio Mini regular $15ish I did eat the matcha pistachio day of, it was fine. Wasn't too sweet, but not too memorable either. The ham and cheese was also fine. Ham was on the smoky side and cheese was not as melty. I was looking for something where the pastry shatters in your mouth and the butter flavor is more prominent. The selection was quite vast even for 4-5pm on a Saturday, with everything practically stocked. Maybe that was a foreshadow. I'm gonna try and flatten then fry the regular one and see how that goes lol Fav is prolly still Au coeur de paris in Westminster. read more

I picked up two pastries yesterday for my breakfast this morning. After heating them in the oven for 3 minutes, they came out perfect--flaky and light. We enjoyed both, but the coconut ube pastry stood out more than their famous spiral croissant. It wasn't too sweet, and the flavors of coconut and ube were definitely pronounced. read more

We were around the Pasadena area looking for a cafe, and this spot popped up. This is in old town Pasadena, so we resorted to street parking. Once you enter the restaurant, the inside is actually quite large. They have their pastries and cakes displayed at the counter. Service was quick and prompt. We got their lychee and rose croissant and their circular croissant along with another bite sized dessert to share. I think the bread was a little stale, but the taste was still good. Overall, a cute cafe to visit if you're in the area. read more

French style pastry featuring all sorts of croissants. Call ahead to save your favorite treats. Only draw back is difficult finding a parking spot. City has limited street parking infrastructure of this establishment. Otherwise it's wonderful. read more

The pastries are delicious, but have too much filling. I got the round chocolate croissant, and would have preferred less than half of the amount of filling it had. They do have some unique flavors, like a rose lychee croissant, that I have never seen before! Staff were able to answer questions about the pastries and fillings. read more

croissant breakfast sandwich served with small salad was terrific. Reasonably priced. I think Delight Pastry is a hidden gem... off the path of Colorado and pastries may be the best in Pasadena and competitive for the region as a whole. Service was very good. Nice atmosphere to sit. read more

We had a dinner reservation right across the street but I was in need of some espresso; I had a caffeine headache coming on and I'm so happy we stumbled upon this pastry shop! My bf and I walked in and were greeted by Lily, she was so friendly and welcoming! We walked along the cases with all the delicious looking pastries and I completely regret not just buying some of them before our dinner; we back after and most of them were gone - I wanted to try the matcha pistachio croissant but they were out. We grabbed a few pastries, I got the rose lychee raspberry croissant and a pistachio rose mousse and both were so good! Decor inside was pretty modern, bright and clean. Highly recommend swinging by if you're in the area and looking for some pastries or caffeine! read more

Delight pastry has been one of my bookmarked locations for a while now and I finally got to check it out this past Saturday morning. There was only one group of customers here so I was able to order my pastries quickly. I got the rose lychee croissant, the swirl croissant with chocolate cream, the matcha pistachio croissant, and the ham and cheese croissant. - rose lychee croissant: 3/5 beautiful pink color and a subtle floral taste. I couldn't really taste the lychee much, which I was looking forward to. - swirl croissant with chocolate cream: 4/5 the chocolate cream was rich and decadent, and I enjoyed the toffee bits on top. This tasted better warmed up, and I wished the bakery would have offered this option. - matcha pistachio croissant: 4.5/5 I love the matcha filling in here! Again, would've been better warmed up, but the flavor combination makes up for it. - Ham and cheese croissant: 5/5 this was the star of the show for me! I love the mustard inside, which creates a nice contrast with the rest of the filling. I would definitely get this again! Overall, I'm glad I got to check out this place! Pricing is a bit steep, but the pastries are decently big. I would choose to dine in next time to enjoy the cute ambiance of the cafe since there's plenty of seating. read more

Met here with a friend before hopping on a flight. Smack dab in the middle of historic downtown Pasadena! It was a great place to grab a cup of coffee. We were greeted warmly and helped right away. Their cafe is awash with blush pink, creams and pastels accented with white and gold. Delicious coffee, beautifully made. Comfy, mid-century modern couches that were perfect for a quick sit or a long study session. Their display case was full of delicious desserts I'm sad I didn't have a chance to try. Give this place a try! read more

I was really impressed with the black sesame tahini croissant! Not only was it visually stunning, it also had a nicely balanced flavor profile and beautifully crispy texture. I also got a pain suisse, which was pretty tasty, but too dense on the inside. I was really hoping to see thinner laminations. Stylistically, this bakery reminded me a lot of Artelice. They had very similar types of offerings, ranging from cakes to pastries. One difference was that they had a number of beautifully decorated whole cakes, but none were offered by the slice. The individual cakes were mostly different flavors but also looked delicious. Being situated in old town Pasadena, the parking situation is definitely a challenge. There were no spots directly in front of the bakery but I managed to find metered parking a few blocks away. read more

I returned to experience their pre-Thanksgiving pie sampling event. For $10, I got to sample 6 different desserts and had a choice of complimentary hot tea or hot coffee. The mini-desserts were beautifully presented in a teak plate and the interior as I mentioned in my last review was beautiful, clean, modern and super cute. My favorites out of the 6 dessert samples were: pecan pie, chocolate mousse pie, pumpkin pie and the fruit tart! Sarah, one of the owners was so friendly and generous . She explained to me that guests can have unlimited samplings and even take the leftovers to-go! She and her mom opened this lovely bakery, offering high-quality pastries and desserts. What a charming and powerful mother/daughter team! I love their story. I could not have not been more happy with the addition of this relatively new bakery in old-town Pasadena. Even though I didn't get to sample this item, it was displayed with all the other desserts sampled and I was intrigued. I pre-ordered a pear almond tart for Thanksgiving. I'm super excited to try it! All in all, this sampling event exceed my expectations and I highly recommend this bakery as you can feel the love and joy in the food and from the owners! read more

Parking was a bit of a hassle. We found a structure that was $4 for 20 mins but by the time we got back, it charged us 15 -___- not a fan of that. There's street meters but they only take coins. Found another structure charging $1 or so when we left. Definitely going to look for that one next time! Inside was open, simple yet beautiful and so clean. The staff was super friendly and hit it off with my best friend immediately. They were so patient with us (as it was our first time) and packaged everything so wonderfully. Considerate enough to ask if we wanted the boxes taped up or some plates and utensils to eat it there... which we had to!! It looked so good we couldn't wait another moment!! When I tell you... the crunch and flakes coming off the croissants??? Ugh to die for. THE TEXTURE OF THE MACAROONS!!!! Man. Matcha and pistachio croissant - 4/5 only because I felt it was weak in pistachio flavor. The color was gorgeous and soft inside Chocolate croissant - 4/5 only because it had way too much chocolate filling inside for my liking. I wish it was more spaced out so each bite was evenly enjoyable. Instead, I had some bare croissant and then a bit of explosive chocolate goodness (probably not the worst problem to have lol) Macaroons - don't remember the flavor. For sure pistachio and the pink one was chocolate earl grey I think? I rate pistachio 3/5. It was tasty but tasted more like French vanilla ice cream from baskin robins lol. The chocolate earl grey was a 4/5 for me because the texture was spot on and so delectable Everything here looked aesthetically pleasing and had a flavor to match. I can't wait to come back to try other items and maybe even a coffee! We saw so many people excited about the options and even more excited to just sit and enjoy the shop with loved ones or getting some work done on their devices. read more

Delight Pastry has been popping up on my Yelp activity feed lately, so I decided to pay them a visit. After seeing their logo I'm certain I've had their delicious treats at some events. Delight Pastry is owned by a mother & daughter duo - Lily Azar (Pastry Chef) & Sarah Hashemi. Iranian born Lily makes everything from scratch with organic & locally sourced ingredients. Her creations often feature flavors that are prominent in Persian cuisine. The shop is adorable - emitting a warm & cozy vibe. There are plenty of places to sit, relax, and snap IG worthy photos. Everything in the case was aesthetically pleasing. However, I was curious to try the Spiral Croissant - a crispy, circular, swirled croissant filled with pastry cream. Lily dedicated a lot of time and research into perfecting these complex baked delicacies and she definitely succeeded. The gentleman behind the counter was so nice and helpful. I ordered the Maple Pecan. It was golden brown with lots of flaky layers topped with a little bit of icing and toasted pecans. The outer edge was crispy giving way to a soft & chewy center. Hidden inside was a Maple pastry cream. It was slightly sweet and a delightful surprise. The toasted pecans also added a nice flavor. I could taste the quality in every bite. Lattes and brunch items are also available in addition to custom cakes for any occasion. The shop is also known for their Kouign-Amann & cubed croissants, which I will have to go back for. *Metered Street Parking or surrounding parking garages. read more

Review is mainly for a BIRTHDAY CAKE. PLACE: After researching the area in Pasadena (a bit last minute) I selected Delight Pastry for a 50th b-day cake based on the reviews and photos. I was excited to try everything. PRODUCT(S): I decided on the BERRY DELIGHT cake one of their most popular birthday cakes. I also picked up the popular RASPBERRY CROISSANT. While the presentation and exterior design of the cake was beautiful the interior quality and taste was TERRIBLE!! Then came the croissant which was almost just as bad. PROBLEM(S): Ok so the croissant was DRY / stale but I think there still might be potential there given that I did have it the next day. But the cake... The cake was not only dry and powdery but there was such a sad and stingy inside layer of cream and fruit (6 blueberries) I almost cried, what a disappointment and waste of time (them making it and us picking it up) and money. Their motto "Delight in the first bite" was more like "Disappointment and the last bite". PRICING: As of October 16, 2025, this 6 inch cake will set you back $50, and the croissant about $7. PEOPLE: The staff working were ok. Not extra friendly but not rude. PROMOTE: Nope. I could not recommend this place before trying other offerings elsewhere first (at least for b-day cakes). The 1 star is for the decoration of the cake exterior (as pictured), and hope in their pastries and drinks which all LOOK good but I have not yet tried but won't be trying any time soon... read more

1 word - LAYERS! Wow. Delight Pastry surprised me so much. My bf and I ordered the almond and ham & cheese croissant. Delicious!! Both of our pastries had so many flaky, crispy yet soft layers.

My husband found this place and was craving some pastries so we decided to give it a try. We went this past Saturday and got a little worried that it might be crowded... but it was actually right before the morning rush. First off, the decor is super cute and would definitely come back with my girlfriends. Such a cute place to have breakfast/brunch and catch up. The display of pastries is beautiful and it was so hard for me to choose which ones to get. We got a bunch of pastries and a matcha latte with oat milk. The strawberry cruffin and almond croissant was my favorite. The matcha latte was good and not an overpowering matcha flavor. We will definitely be back if we are in Pasadena again. Super cute and food was great! read more

This is my second time purchasing here and I have one word.. WOW. I've had the pleasure to interact with the owner and the baker and they are the most wonderful people to speak with. My observation on the location: The location is very clean and smells clean when you walk in. It is an open concept with a beautiful and clean display of the food items. On today's visit 07/02/25: The owner did the kindest gesture and that is what will make her stand out from competitors . I went in to purchase croissants for my family. After reviewing and choosing my items the owner gifted me the far right bottom. It was so kind of her! The size of the croissants are larger than the Costco ones. I put a comparison of my hand to compare how big they are. Now to the good part.. the pastries! These are the freshest, flakiest, most amazing pastries I've ever had! They melt in your mouth! They are not sweet at all! My recommendation is to come try these pastries! read more

Came by to pay a visit after being inspired by SGV CM! I have a sweet tooth and enjoy trying cakes. Love croissants, especially savory ones. Park in Public Parking next to the Armory and walk past two street lights. 2 Hours for a Dollar. Delight is a blink and you will miss bakery store, offering a wide variety of pastries to satisfy any craving. My favorite was the Strawberry Cruffin! It is a Danish sprinkled with sugar that tastes like a donut and it has cream stuffed inside and strawberry jam on top. The cakes are on the denser side. The Strawberry Sphere had lemon filling, which was okay but the texture was thick versus light and airy. The Opera Cake had strong notes of coffee and again very dense. I would describe it as a paste. 3/5 Pricing wise can run $5.75 to $7.50 per item. The flavor combinations croissants, spiral croissants, and cube croissants are what makes Delight well known. I am not a fan of spiral croissants or brioches so I passed this time. The store has a slight fruit fly issue when I went and they did use fans to mitigate it, but they definitely landed on the pastries that had pineapple. I am sure in the morning the fruit flies are less of a problem. read more

How does Delight not have a line wrapped around the corner?! I came first thing Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised. However, I couldn't decide which of the goodies to get! IG sent me to Delight for the spiral croissant (or supremes on the East Coast), but I wanted to get EVERYTHING. I ended up trying the: *Almond Croissant: I eat a fair amount of Almond Croissants and this was probably one of the best I've had in the states! Generously filled. No almond extract-y taste because it looks like they use a high quality almond paste, etc. A MUST GET. *Matcha Pistachio Croissant: Really interesting flavor and visually stunning but it was pretty light on either flavor. And to be honest -- the almond croissant was just so good that this one couldn't hold a flame. Skip it if you have to make hard decisions! *Spiral Croissant: I don't know why I was surprised that these are filled?! But it was my first time having these! I ordered all the flavors but only had the stomach space to try the chocolate one and it was DIVINE. The outside isn't as flaky & crispy as a regular croissant but it was dang good! *Kouign-Amann - I was pleasantly surprised by Delight's version! I'm used to eating Dominique Ansel's KA (aka the DKA) which is almost like a muffin because of the height. The one here is pretty flat and compacted but it was soo flaky and delish. The sugar was perfectly caramelized and crystalized almost like the way a Palmier eats. ANOTHER MUST TRY! I'll definitely be back when I'm in town to try ALLLL the goodies here. read more

In terms of quality I think there deserve the same high rating I previously gave. I'm revising the overall score down though because they are really inconsistent with availability. Multiple times we have come early (8 am) only to find that they already sold out of the kouign amman and ham and cheese croissant, with no plans to make anymore the rest of the day. We were told they bake everything once a day and when they are out, that's it, even if in those situations they are still operating for another 8-9 hours. I don't know if it's because they make so much other items but at least with the ham and cheese croissant, those are popular enough/easy enough to either many more to begin with, or do another batch. I still recommend going here but wish they would improve their planning so they aren't sold out so early in the day so often. read more
