Wow, has it been almost 4 years since I've been to this lovely, beautiful, well organized, super…read moreclean bakery?? Yes, it has, and shame on me! Walked in yesterday mid-evening at 5:30 pm and was greeted by Anna with a pleasant, pretty smile. She was kind, helpful and very nice. This is an Armenian bakery run by a lot of nice, helpful employees. They sell a variety of baked goods and a few savory items. Ponchik, (the closest way to explain this food is a donut). Filled with custard, nutella, and I believe other flavors too. They have Lahmajune, (Armenian pizza), Perashki, (a long dough filled with Spinach, Potato, Mushrooms, Cheese). They also sell other types of pastries, beverages, candy, cake, chocolates, boreks, with different fillings. My favorite is the Cheese borek. Rolls too. With different fillings.. and so much more.. All I needed and was craving for was 4 of their fresh, delicious Ponchiks. They were nice enough to give me an extra one--free of charge. The smell of those Ponchiks transported me back to Armenia. It was fresh and very hot. Came straight from the fryer. Since I was going to have dinner next door, I didn't want to get full on sweets. For 4 Ponchiks I paid ($13.60). Their prices are very affordable according to the sizes of their delicious savory and sweet baked goods. If you pay with card, there is an extra $1.00 fee for processing. I paid cash. Thank you all very much. Parking is shared with other businesses, and no public restroom. Inside and outside seating.They have multiple other locations.,

I asked a few questions and then I orderd the custard ponchik which she said would be ready in 15 min. While I waited I browsed the shop and I got a few other things I wanted to try such as the yogurt soda, more from curiosity than from a craving. I also picked up a box of Nazook. My Ponchik was ready quickly and I was able to use tap and pay and then I went on with my morning. I couldn't help it I started to eat my Ponchik on the drive, it was so fresh and piping hot, so fluffy, and the custard so thick and delicious. I am definitely a fan! I LOVE custard filled things and these Ponchiks are my new obsession!

The crust is crisp and golden, and the inside is soft with a slight chew. It has that mild sourdough tang, plus a subtle earthiness from the black rice and a warm hint of turmeric. It's balanced and flavorful without being heavy. I also love how clean the ingredients are. Organic flour, filtered water, sourdough starter, salt, black rice, turmeric. No yeast, no artificial coloring. Beautiful loaf, clean ingredients, and great flavor. I'll definitely be back.

Stay for the warm service and friendliness. It's pretty classic goodies - I typically purchase things for others as I'm vegan and can't enjoy most of the rich creamy treats here though they do have some fresh bread that I've been suerte de comer. Definitely a gem of gems in the SFV beat as others have expressed. It's small inside but spacious - they do bake cakes. Located in a tiny shared lot that's rarely full near other local businesses off Victory Blvd & Hazeltine. Apoyar a las pequeñas empresas #SupportSmallBusinesses

I'd go in and ask to give you (today's bread) to make sure it's fresh.

Walked in this morning a little after8:15AM, and got a warm greeting from Lilit. I believe she is the owner of the place. Got few slices of pastry, couple of ready made salads and walked out. The ambiance was nice and clean. They have freshly baked bread, salads, soups, chocolates and cakes. They can customize whatever you like for your special occasions the way that you want them to do. I have a friend that she ordered her wedding cake from them and they all loved it very much. Including myself. So, don't look elsewhere, go to this lovely, pretty, big, lit, bakery that not only serves cakes, but an impeccable customer service!! Customer service is 50% of the business. Their baked goods are not that sweet, which I like. They are very light too. Small parking lot, didn't see any restrooms and don't have a patio. Thank you all.

The maneish used to be consistently soft and fresh, and while the lahmejune and cheese borek are still decent, the overall quality hasn't been the same. The lahmejune and spinach borek also seem to be getting spicier over time. The main reason for this review is the customer service. The woman who helped me last Friday morning was unwelcoming, and when I asked if the pastries could be warmed up, I was told they were hot. Unfortunately, when I got to my car, the cheese pastry was cold. With limited parking, rising prices, and no other customers in the shop at the time, I expected better service. With several new bakeries in the area, I'll be trying other options moving forward.

This is the menu and you can't go wrong with choosing anything from this menu.

When they 1st opened this shop, it was very good in every way. From Customer service to all of their pastries. Ambiance is ok. Nothing special and nothing to really write home about.

They will customize any cake to your own specifications and liking. Also, do cakes for all of your special occasions. This morning I walked in and didn't really get a nice greeting from anyone at the bakery. Like I said, when they were new, it was bed of roses.. Got few pastries from them and walked out.
