The Baklava by the pound, that's where it's at! Crunchy, sweet, honey laden filo dough perfectly baked and filled with the nut of your preference (Walnut, almond, Pecan, pistachio). read more

Their bread is never ready no matter what time customer shows up. Wait time for bread is usually 40 minutes for sangak and 1 hour for barbari. I live nearby. I have been here minimum 6 times and this happened all 6 times. And when they finally sell the bread, it is crusty and hard on most/all sides & corners. They think wait time and hardness of bread is normal. It is not. International bazar right next to it has edible barbari & sangak bread with no wait time. All you need is a toaster at home to get it perfect. read more

We dined next door and noticed this bakery. They have this middle eastern bread which I wanted to try so we walked in. I used to purchase this bread from a bakery in Fremont, it used to be $2 almost a decade back. In addition to the bread which was ~$6 we picked a few desserts, because, why not? We were recommended the pistachio baklava but I felt it had a heavy dose of some essence (tasted like rose to me). The walnut baklava was definitely better than the pistachio one. The kids got these muffins, they were extremely soft in the center and had some essence as well. We toasted the bread the next day and it was delicious. Very flaky on the outside and soft inside. I can't vouch for their desserts but the bread is definitely good! read more

Perfect place to grab freshly baked Persian breads as well as baklava and limited selection of pastries and cookies. The price is not the cheapest for the baklava and pastries but the taste is great. I generally stop by for their heavenly Barbari bread!! read more

Absolutely love the Sangak and Barbari bread! So delicious. So soft. Best part is they come out warm if you come In the morning time! They are provided in brown paper sheets, which is actually perfect for maintaining the texture of fresh out of the oven bread. Also tried the yazdi cupcakes for the first time - burst of cardamom and rose water. So delicious! I'm tempted to try everything else and probably will soon enough. Great bakery for Persian desserts. Definitely check it out! It's totally worth it. read more

It's not a safe place to visit. I buy Persian bread intending to eat it at home and by the time I get home, it's gone. Where did it go! The bread is the best! read more

Stumbled upon this bakery and so glad that we did. It's a persian bakery with great breads and pastries. They offered me a try as I'm not as familiar with all the different delicacies. My daughter noticed the flat bread they were baking and hanging next to the oven and then I recognized it as sangak, traditional persian flat bread that is traditionally baked on pebbles in a wood burning oven and the pebbles make little crevices and they have to then shake the pebbles out of the bread once it's cooked. We had to buy one and she helped grab a nice warm one right out of the oven and it was AMAZING! So fresh, light and with great flavor, loved the sesame seeds on top. We couldn't wait and had to try the hot bread, so we put it ontop of the car to try. Amazing! What a find! We will definitely be back to buy the fresh sangak which can literally pair with just about anything. They are so friendly as well. What a great place! read more

I have to ask: has this baker ever eaten a real noon khamei or cream puff from Iran? How can anyone think it's acceptable to sell something like this? The texture was dry, the flavor was nonexistent, and the burnt aftertaste lingered like a bad mistake. If this is the quality you're offering, you have no business running a bakery. Either learn how to make proper pastry or shut down before you embarrass the community further. read more

My friend came late in the day. They had some fruit, baklavas and the rest were the package pastries. Asked for coffee as well but it was from a coffee pot about 10 mins. So we just ordered a coconut cake and carrot cake that was delicious! Overall experience was okay. Maybe if we went early in the morning it would be different or early in the day? read more

We drove from Watsonville to this bakery. first time coming here and trying the deserts. Super sweet baker gave us samples of different deserts they had and let me tell you wow‍ so so delicious I was in love with the cream puffs wow sooo good the cream melted in my mouth. It's a must try. We are definitely coming back soon. read more

this persian bakery used to be very good but not anymore. stopped by today to buy few pastries however after trying they were stale and not fresh. sounds like it was sitting out for a while. not to mention i paid $18 for four and throw them away. this is not how you do business if you want to stay in business read more

Came to this bakery after having lunch out of curiosity to check it out after seeing people leaving with giant breads in their hands and found it to be a super cute gem! This is my first time in a Persian bakery that had freshly baked sangak, and it blew my mind. We bought one of the special sangak and absolutely loved it, especially when it was still warm and fresh. There is a nice balance of crispiness and gooeyness that is somehow also airy and light, that makes it super great to eat on its own or with any savory or sweet sides (like curries, peanut sauces, or jams). The staff there were super nice and friendly and took time to explain to us what some of the different desserts were. The older gentleman also came out to offer us samples of different desserts, and were super friendly and generous with the samples. We left the bakery with a huge sangak, cream roll cake, and a couple baklavas. We especially enjoyed the sangak and can't wait to go back to get more! read more

This place is like 3 and half stars. Stopped here randomly bring over desserts over to a friend's house. While I was browsing I believe the owner offered me a sample of a cream puff. Don't know if it was made I'm the store or if it was one of the store bought ones but it was very nice and it tasted very good. I should have asked them. Maybe next time. But I want to say that this was my first time trying some new and unique flavors pg baklava like the chocolate flavored one.( the dark colored ones from the picture) There was one that was made purely from pistachios (green one from the picture). That one was really good. That was recommended by one of the service members that I asked. There was also a rise it was some sort of floral flavored baklava, it was not my favorite, but it was unique, and I was glad to try it. A little on the pricey side but worth the try. read more

Stumbled upon this lovely little bakery. The desserts are beautiful and so good. The owner was kind and she mentioned everything is a made in house.

Honey Bakery and Cafe was a disappointment for me. I bought Rolet, Cream Puff and Yazdi CupCakes but after just one bite each, I had to throw them away. Unfortunately I wasted $28. read more

Came here today and what a gem! I now have a place to order middle eastern sweets for family events. Got my sweet tooth cravings satisfied today. Bought an assortment of packaged sweets, pistachio baklava, and bread. Owner (I think) gave us some samples too :) All of them were great and looking forward to coming back soon. read more

Stopped by this bakery after having lunch next door. So glad we did! We got a fresh, just out of the oven Sangak and also some yummy pastries.

Can't wait to go back. read more

Honey Bakery & Cafe has delicious food, all made with high-quality ingredients. The desserts are amazing, and the atmosphere is cozy. However, the prices are very expensive, which can be disappointing. If you don't mind spending a lot, it's worth trying! read more

Do NOT Buy their fresh Danish Pastry with cream inside, it is Not fresh ! If they don't sell their regular Danish Pastry in a week or so .... they cut them in two half slices and put fresh custard inside and some fake pistachios powder on top to look fresh and attractive to buy! I asked for one while the lady was bringing a tray from back of the store and I was sure it is fresh but was not at all!!!! read more

We bought a variety of items. They were fresh and very tasty. Definitely going back. This is a hidden gem.

Dear Bakery owners On October 10th, 2021, at about 9:20 am, I came to your bakery to buy bread. While I was driving, I called several times to confirm that you were open, but no one answered. But since your store hours were posted on the internet, I continued driving to your store. The sign said "open" and your store hours were posted "Sun....9-8" but the door was locked. While standing outside, I tried calling again, and there was no answer. Meanwhile 4 other customers came by and were surprised that the store wasn't open. As I sit in my car in front of your store, it is 9:36 am and nobody has come to open the store. I hope that you and your employee is ok and that nothing bad has happened to you for being late. The "one Star" is because you don't have a voicemail and any method to let your customers know that due to an emergency, the store is closed. read more

Honey Bakery & Cafe - Fresh Sangak and Barbari breads - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

I've had the pleasure of eating Honey Bakery's sangak at a dinner party before, and today was the first day I went out to order some hot and fresh! As soon as you walk into the bakery, you can smell the aroma of fresh breads and baked goods, with a clear display case showcasing sweets such as ornately decorated cakes and desserts. When I had come in, I was on a mission to get a bite of that savory sangak - hot and fresh! You can find the sangak as soon as you walk in - resting across a heated plane, waiting for customers just like you and I! If you aren't looking for sangak - you can find a dessert case with everything from cakes to parfaits here as well! Once I had ordered my sangak, it was wrapped in its paper, paid for, and I was on my way. The thing about sangak is that you can enjoy it with or without butters, jams, or anything additional. It's just a perfectly seasoned, flat bread with a chewy and crunchy texture! I've enjoyed my sangak with kebabs, ash reshteh, and tahdig - but it can also be a stand alone appetizer or snack. Unlike other breads, sangak doesn't have a flavor that takes center stage - but is able to complement any food that it's apart of. If you're in the Bay Area and looking for some traditional sangak, Honey Bakery is where you'll find it! read more

First of all let me tell you about their prices, $$$$$$$$$$. For one meatless, tasteless Halim, two Sangak bread $27.50, no receipt, no ring up in cash register. Watch out IRS!!! Second, never again from these cheating merchants. Total should've not been more than $15.00. $12.50 over charge for my purchase. No good!!! read more

What a delightful little bakery! They have a lot of middle eastern goodies. Check out the giant bread but make sure you hit the pastries up as well. I got the eclair and raspberry macaron which were both very good! The girl who helped us was super nice. Parking in this strip mall is a hassle since the stores here are so popular and it was no different this time. read more

So we come here somewhat frequently. Today the lady who helped us left the same gloves on to take our order. She then proceeded to touch pastry that we ordered, took our money and then went back to work leaving on the same gloves. It's quite simple to change them out and is a food violation not too. read more

I love coming here for fresh sangak. Pastries are pretty good but the selection is a little limited. Nonetheless it's all about quality Vs quantity here. They also have haleem and boxed Persian sweets. Did I forget to mention? They gave the best sangak and it's always fresh. One thing to keep in mind is the breads are a little pricey read more

Discovered this place thanks to a friend of a friend, who brought some sangak and mini cream puffs to our last game night. The other day I stopped by to get some of the mini cream puffs to bring over to a dinner party (they were a hit!) and the woman who helped me was really friendly. I'll definitely be back soon for some sangak and barbari bread (very happy to see they offer the latter!). But it's a good thing the bakery isn't too close to me, or I'd be stopping in every day for those cream puffs--they go down so easily! read more

Oh my god! Fresh and hot out of the oven bread! Soooo deeeelicioua! I've been coming here for 4 weeks in a row, every Sunday at 9:15ish. They are available in whole wheat or white. Both are unbelievably good. They are so big, I slice and freeze them. They also have some great desserts! Baklava style of goodies and cakes. read more

Amazing Napoleon pastry. Not to sweet just perfect. We also bought their bread that they make there and it was very good. It is made with barley flour. read more

Checked this place out the other day and will certainly be back. Items were fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. Couldn't decide exactly what to get, so grabbed a couple of sweet items, some baklava, and flat rye bread. Their pistachio stuff is sooo good - my favorite was this thing that looked like a whoopie pie; two white cake cookies on the outside, vanilla cream sandwiched in the middle, then rolled in pistachios. It was the perfect mix of textures and light flavors! 4 stars instead of 5 because the plain baklava was only okay and the guy who helped us, while nice, seemed to not know that much about the ingredients, etc. read more

Sam is incredibly friendly and answered my friend and my questions. He also gave a cookie sample to the nephew which was super nice. Beautiful pastries, breads and cakes. All the sugar sparkled. I ended up getting some sangak. Absolutely no complaints here! Will be back. read more

Wow--I love bread and baked items and the sangak (persian bread) was a wonderful surprise. It is chewy and foldable and mine was baked fresh on order. It is like a seed cracker but other than crispy and hard, it is malleable for making sandwiches and roll-ups. Okay, it is hard to describe--you just need to try it! The owner has an expensive custom-made enormous oven he uses to make this special bread. He takes his bread making very seriously. I got the deluxe one with seeds, and it had tons of seeds, which I loved. It was about $6.50 and lasted all week. I froze some of it and it tasted great after being microwaved 15 seconds. It is a locally owned small business. I am not that big on sweets, but the cream pastries looked delicious. read more
