I have driven by this bakery many times and many times forget to stop by to check it out. I finally did this weekend and slapping myself why it took so long! The hand made baked goodies are absolutely amazing. The service was outstanding. The lady took her time explaining each item behind the glass covered counter. Their baklava and most of the sweets were not that sweet compared the Greek Baklava or Persian goodies. She gave me a sample of the sesame crisp as it was the last item and she was ready to clear the tray. The family is from Northern Iraq so different from the southern Middle East baked goods. Sold by the pound, I got 4 squares and 1 pistachio cookie which cost about $10.50. The lady said not to put the box in the refrigerator as it will dry it out, but leave on the counter away from the sun and it will last 2-3 weeks. Well, it's my stomach and not the sun that will make this box empty! I'm looking forward to coming back for more goodies. read more

Was on the hunt for some delicious baklava and saw the great reviews of this place and was surprised that I didn't know about this place sooner. It is a small shop with just a simple banner so easy to miss. They sell baklava by the pound or by the piece. I mentioned it was my first time there and the lady was so friendly and gave me a complimentary piece of baklava of my choosing and to enjoy - what great service! I ended up getting half a pound of the walnut baklava and half a pound of pistachio baklava for around $22. I only got to eat the pistachio baklava and it was crispy, light, and not too sweet. This is easily my new favourite baklava place and can't wait to try more! I bought the box of baklava to my friend's Thanksgiving dinner but she didn't up sharing (haha!) but told me how much she and her husband enjoyed the sweets. Please enjoy this local business that has great service and goods - they are a gem! read more

Great people, amazing service and wonderful food to match the experience. Kamo bakery is an unforgettable place. They had us try different samples to see what we would like. Every was delicious and not overly sweet. I think my favorites were the pistachio cookies and the sesame bar. I forgot the actual names but i would 1000% come back and go out of my way to stop here and grab a couple of things. The store is easy to miss and it is small but worth the trip! read more

My biggest regret was not buying 10x the bird's nest. The texture and flavor are incredible. Delicate, shardy, burst of sweet and floral notes. The young man helping us was genuine and endearing. A small unassuming shop with delicious treats, middle eastern breads and a small collection of pantry goods. This is a special place. read more

I really liked this tiny bakery. The owner gave me a sample with sesame and he was very friendly. I could feel he has so much pride what he makes and he is right! Worth to try them. In the glass case, the price shows by pound not pieces. I asked small amount and he got ready small box and calculated the weigh later. So no pressure! That's good. There were two paklava (not baklava). In the picture, round one is royal paklava which was made from hand-made dough. Rectangle rolled one is made from pre made dough. Both are so delicious. Not over sweet. Syrup is right amount not like dripping. I bought 3 pieces paklava and turned $7.1 ish. Not bad. I will be back again. read more

Kamo Bakery - two pastries on a white plate - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I was in this bakery a couple of days ago...THIS is what great customer service is...I purchase treats for me and two friends...hands down...the best baklava I have every had next to mine ( I am a chef, cooking teacher and caterer). The owner let me try before I purchased (very smart move)...I tried the Pastacio cookie...it was nice, the sesame squares are very good, nice chew...the baklava is a 10/10!! I had the pistachio one..I will go back to try the walnut one very soon. What was the best surprise was the little date stick they had there..pastry with a date filling... Picture this..a petite sized bite of date heaven with a very light...fennel like flavor (before you say anything, it was super light...maybe anise flavor) All I know is I will be back there next week. Pastries 10/10 Owner 12/10 Price 8/10 Please support local...and if you go there get the baklava...and get me some too! Get a small box for a friend or some you really like I would like to see more pastries next time I am there...maybe a seasonal special...they take Visa too Chef Helena APPROVED! read more

These pastries are out of this world! You will not regret it! Not too sweet, with lots of flavor. Excellent customer service! Don't miss it!

This bakery is making the best baklava in Vancouver. Nowhere else comes close. Always fresh, never too sweet, light and flaky. The owner is also a delight! He is super cheerful and always encouraging you to sample something new. read more

In an unassuming location surrounded by Vietnamese restaurants and hair salons, this place serves amazing Turkish pastries. The father is the head baker, and son assumes the store front, we were offered delicious samples and great service. Everything here tastes amazing, so amazing that we forgot to take a picture of our purchase. I historically find Turkish desserts too sweet, but not this place, it has the perfect balance! The pastries are sold by the pound, and you can get whatever piece count you want. Check it out!! read more

This tiny little hole-in-the-wall bakery is what hidden gems is all about. The owner, the delightful little pastries--15 our of 10! The first time we visited we tried pretty much all the pastries because the very kind owner insisted that we tried before we bought anything! Ever since then we've been going back to buy a box here and a box there for ourselves, friends, and coworkers. Do yourself a favour, go visit them and try the pastries for yourself. If you are in a rush, these will knock your socks off: Pistachio baklava: One word--AMAZING. I've never been a big fan of baklavas because they're usually overly sweet and greasy. NOT theirs! It's just the right amount of sweetness and it doesn't feel greasy. The walnut ones are good too but we like pistachio nuts better. The boxes we've been buying? Most of them were baklavas! Samoon bread: If you are ever lucky enough to visit when they just brought these out--quickly grab a bag and run home to wrap something with it (after you've paid, of course.) Or better yet, just rip off a small piece and eat it right on the side walk! They are flavourful with an excellent chew. I hate to use the word amazing again but they are! Date bar: I don't know what these are called but they are little finger pastries with date filling inside. The filling has a well-rounded flavour which speaks for the baker's skills. They may not be as stunning as the baklavas but they are such a delight. Every pastry at this place has an excellent balanced flavour. Never too sweet or too anything, really. It's a small family business in an unassuming location. You won't find fancy decor when you come in. But you will leave with a very healthy respect for people who have dedicated their lives to perfecting their crafts, and a desire to come back again and again to support them. read more

The owner let me and my brothers taste before we bought some pistachio and walnut paklava. He also excitedly showed a new recipe of his which he brought from the back, one for each of us. The paklava was beautiful in both taste and texture. He is very passionate and welcoming, and I will definitely be returning to try the other options. read more
