Fresh Bakery is my go to place to have a light and delicious breakfast, brunch or light dinner too. I really love this bakery and how everything is very fresh. Whatever you order, it is from the oven to you. Sometimes, I have to wait a couple of minutes until my order is ready. Anoush always encourages me to call in advance to have my order ready by the time I arrive. The ladies who are working there are very sweet and friendly. I love their cheese borek, cheese and spinach, lahmajun, cheese & Soujuk, maneish, beef borek and chicken borek. Their Dolma is so yummy and really delicious. They have also frozen food (kibbe, and Manty) They have also many desserts and Armenian cookies. I really love their dates cookies. It looks like a little crescent or mini Croissants and filled with dates, soooo good. It is a hidden gem in Covina with excellent service and fresh baked food read more

Love this authentic Armenian bakery. We are so lucky to have it in Covina, because Burbank is too far lol Came here for a snack/ lunch after grabbing coffee down the street and going to Bert's mega mall.

Fresh and delicious. Unmistakable high quality. So happy to find an Armenian bakery (like this) without having to drive to Glendale...Pasadena, or L.A. We are so lucky to have this delightful food experience, right here in the eastern San Gabriel Valley. Incredible food...I can't say which delicacy I love best. Five stars...all the way.

Fresh Bakery offers such delicious Armenian baked goods. When I finish my grocery shopping next door, I always love stopping by Fresh Bakery. I enjoy getting two lahmajuns to enjoy and a couple to savor the rest of the day. The cheese borek and spinach & cheese borek are equally delicious. The staff is really nice and quick. They always offer to warm up the baked goods or just pack it up for me. read more

Awesome hole in the wall place that bakes an assortment of Armenian goodies. I only know of places like this in Pasadena and Glendale, so it's nice to see one closer to home. I called in the morning and placed an order for pick up of their Lahmajun. When I arrived everything was ready to go. One of my co-workers also wanted an order so I placed another while I was there. They make everything fresh so I went shopping in the Middle Eastern market next door until the order was ready. I paid and got my full order and even for some cheese bureq for myself and chatted with the lady (Anoush) in the front. Everyone was friendly and I was happy to find out they also make pomegranate paste Lahmajun, so I'll be calling in for that next time. The Lahmajun was for my boss and co worker so I didn't get a chance to try one and didn't have time to do an order for myself, but I heard it was delicious. The cheese byureq I got was very good, so I highly recommend getting that. Definitely worth stopping by here for some authentic Armenian baked goods. read more

I usually get their lahmajune ($1.50), manaish ($1.75), and spicy cheese borek ($4.50). They were still making the majority of their breads so they had plenty of manaish and lahmajune out first.

If I could give ZERO stars, that is what they deserve. On Saturday, May 27th 2023, around 3 pm, my daughter and I went to this establishment because of a recommendation of their Lamaçun. A couple were in front of us in line. The lady was getting fresh Lamajun out of the oven, suddenly without greeting and with an extremely disrespectful tone she shouts thay if we wanted Lamajun, they ran out already, and to get out please. NEVER AGAIN. Zero customer service skills and blatant hostility. Will make sure everyone knows about this place in a negative way. read more

My first time walking into an Armenian bakery outside Glendale after a long time. It was almost closing time so my options were limited because they ran out of most of the best sellers. BUT the staffs (owners?) were really nice and they helped me picked out a couple of baked goods. I ended up getting their stuffed (with rice, onions, herbs, spices) grape leaves, another first, I've always seen them grape leaves on tv and food magazines but never gotten the chance to try it until now. There's the sweet and crunchy fig cookies and this pita bread that looks like indian paratha, dusted with sugar and it is SO GOOD and addicting. I look forward to try their best sellers and I hope to be introduced to more Armenian/Mediterranean baked goods! I am excited to find a place so close to home. *They open at 8am. Come early! read more

I have been to this place a few time. The food is great. However my low rating is due to the service. I live 2 hrs away from this place and like to call in my order before arriving so I don't need to wait long I was told by them it's better to call in order because the run out quickly. The last time was a Sunday morning I went and was told they have nothing left to sell. Today, also a Sunday I called around 10am to place the order for pick up and was told to call them after 12pm cuz they are busy now. I told her that I'm traveling from far and would like to place my order so I can hit the road soon. She placed me on hold for over 45 mins while she took care of customers that were coming in. I only needed 3 things to pick up. This is just ridiculous service. How hard is it to write down the items quickly even if your busy it takes a few seconds. I'd rather drive towards Pasadena than deal with this BS and I pay them, it's not like it's free. read more

Couple ordered right before us finished eating and left before we even saw them working on our order. We have been coming to Damascquino for a few years now. As they have been one of the few places that opened late to midnight since COVID. I've been here enough times to have tried everything on their menu including all versions of their fries, broasted chicken mean, all the skewer and sides and have never been disappointed...until this last trip. We arrived around 6pm right around dinner service so obviously some wait is expected. There was 3 others that was in front of in line placing their orders. The person manning the counter seems to be newer and unfamiliar, we have never seen him before. It took around 20 minutes for him to take the 3 sets of orders in front of us and ours as well. At this point we got our receipt 6:26pm. Dinner service so we expect about 30 minutes of waiting or so, had a chat with one other person that was waiting for his order. Then starting to see one after another get their order. 3 more come in to place their order after us. The couple that ordered right before us is eating in and sat down at one of the tables inside. They get their order of 2 sandwiches and starts eating. Normally this place starts scooping the rice and sides for the next order to be fulfilled as those are prepared in advance, so as soon as the kabobs are done they can finish packing up and complete the order. We see multiple boxes on the counter waiting for the meat so we expect they were working on our order. The order behind us picks up their order. The next one after picked up their order. The 2 ladies that ordered last sat down and was served ....and no boxes were on the the counter indicating they were working on another order. At this point we are about 40 minutes in, so we walk in asking about ours. The guy turns at looks at the grill, then just says 15 minutes. Once we turned around he then starts to put our sides together completely forgetting our order. At this point we are 45 minutes in waiting, and it had better be the best kabobs we ever had. Finally they call us. 7:23pm. 57 minutes since we were rung up. On top of the lining up we are now about 80 minutes since we arrived. We are obviously frustrated but hey since they didn't have any more orders to work on our kabobs should be perfectly grilled right? COMPLETELY OVERCOOKED. It was chewy, dry, and any resemblance of flavor has been cooked to crap. And they just had the excuse of sorry it was dinner time we were busy, treating as if we are idiots and can't obviously tell they forgot our order. Unfortunately I doubt we will be returning again. For the staff: it's ok if it took a while during dinner service. We get it. It's ok if our order slipped thru the cracks. It happens. But what is absolutely not acceptable is lying about it AND completely screw the cooking up considering you have no more active orders besides ours. We would have been okay if you acknowledged the error and cooked our kabobs to perfection, maybe offer us a drink for the wait time as it barely costs you anything. You see 2 guys standing right outside of your store and have completely zero awareness of MAYBE we might still be waiting for our order?

[I've fielded this complaint from my grown kids for a few years now] Well- Leave it to your enterprising and innovative Uncle Omar to solve that complaint!!! These new brisket wraps are a wondrous hybrid of Mediterranean housing (the flaky but firm Shrek wrap) and All American (B-R-I-S-K-E-T!!) filling. The caliber of the brisket is top notch. Pull apart tendrils of low and slow cooked beef, sumptuously moist but not overly wet. Well seasoned but not deluged in 'cue sauce that obscures the unctuous beefy flavor... Commingle the brisket, lovingly slow cooked for sixteen hours, with diced onions, succulent tomatoes, Persian pickles and their strong-as-a-Rocky-Balboa haymaker garlic sauce...and you've got yourself a crave-worthy, eminently edible new addition to the Family! The ambiance at Abu Omar remains nonpareil. Luminously clean prep area openly visible so the OCDs among us can see their meal lovingly prepared; Sunburnt burgundy brick walls offset by striking Route 66 imagery; Floors so clean you COULD probably get away w/ the "5 second its still edible" rule we usta summon as kids. The service etiquette of Owner Wissam Shloul and his small but devoted staff is exemplary. Great food, meticulously fabricated while you wait. Pro Tip- Need your Mediterranean fix late at night? Fuggetabout "banker's hours," Abu Omar keeps hospital or casino hours! They're open til 1am, nightly. My meal was $19.01 with taxes.

Route 66 scenes peer over diners, highly apropos given the venue's proximity to the world famous street...

This review is based on my visit on the morning of Valentine's Day…read more This place popped up on a search for coffee in the area. It was only a 2 minute walk from where we were so we decided to check it out. On the outside was a holiday themed drink menu and the Butter Me Up sounded like something we'd enjoy. It was a cookie butter latte which whipped cookie butter and a cookie crumble on top. It may sound very sweet but it was actually perfectly balanced and allowed the strength of the espresso to come through. The barista was very kind and patient with us. She also let us know that they were hosting a karaoke night later that day. We waited in the patio connected to the cafe for our drinks. It was a very lovely day so the sun and scenery was nice and peaceful. Definitely looking forward to another visit

Holy beans this place is expensive for coffee! I'm not a Glendora local so take it with a grain on…read moresalt but I needed a quick coffee pit stop for the drive back home after being on the mountain and this spot was open until 5pm. I ordered a large honey latte with oat milk. What I got was a $7 12oz latte + $1.50 for alt milk + $.24 surcharge + tax & tip = almost $11 for my coffee :/ I don't know if this is par for the course in this area but coming from San Diego a large latte is usually 16oz and alt milk is maybe $1 extra (and a lot of places don't upcharge). I also appreciate if surcharges are up front. The girl that took the order was great, my latte was a delight for what it was, but I will look for alternatives next time I'm in the area
