The lamajoos here are delicious. This area has a lot of lamajoo spots that you can try but I recommend trying KoKos bakery. Ask him to warm it up for you or you can take it home and do it yourself. Everything they have package almost is made in house with a old family recipe. read more

Nice little Armenian bakery that serves all the usual goodies - Maneish Zahtars, Lahmajouns, Boreks, as well as their own version of 'Muhammara' (which I love and a must for me whenever I visit such establishment) and then some - such as their variety of baked sweets! I love the texture of the bread here compared to another nearby store. For example, the Zahtar and Lahmajoun are crispier and more 'toasty' (how we like it and how it should be) and not as 'doughy'. Most items are sold in bulk packing but the owner Mike was extremely accommodating since my wife is vegan and he realized we couldn't purchase more than we can use. I believe you can order what you want ahead of time for pickup so that's a huge plus. Will certainly come back to support him whenever we can since the Altadena fire has affected his business. Great guy and overall great tasting Armenian bread! read more

Great selection, great food! Looked for a place since Panos closed up and came across Koko's.

Delicious flat breads at a great price. This small shop has the kindest people who make really tasty baked goods. Cash is preferable. The za'tar pizza is a combination of seasonings and herbs with oil. It's quite tasty but may be an acquired taste for some. The Armenian pizza is made of sweetened ground pork. It's one of my favorites. The pomegranate pizza is super popular and must be ordered ahead in a bulk order of 12. All pizzas can come in a mini 6" or 12". Other than the flatbreads they also have sweet baked goods. It's a small operation so be patient! Bon appetit read more

Outstanding bakery- Truly the best Armenian bakery in p Pasadena. The Lahmajun is delicious, so is their Easter sweat bread and cookies with dates. A definite must when you come to Pasadena. read more

Great food and the owner was very nice and helpful . I will go again . All what we ordered was great

I've know them for years, it's a small family owned business. They have the best cheese Borag and tahini bread that I love the most but anything you try from this place you won't regret everything is delicious. They have a great service always they offer to heat it up if you want to eat warm. Very welcoming. read more

I read somewhere that happiness is not about getting all that you want, it is about enjoying everything that you already have. In essence, happiness equates to gratitude. If we are grateful, we will be content instead of being in misery while we continue to seek more. I am so grateful for Koko's Bakery. The freshly made spinach pies and zaatar manakeesh that are baked on a daily basis fill me and my stomach with so much joy. The blissful scent that emits from them garners a sense of jolly that only gratitude can. I am on cloud nine and I have this bakery to thank. So thank you Koko's. I appreciate you. read more

Koko's Bakery - Your arms are over my stomach - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

Best meneish, lahmajoon, booreg's and cookies in Pasadena. Good family owned business. Best thing in the world next to being in Lebanon is going there real early in the morning and asking them for a meneish heat up in the oven. Holy moly guacamole. read more

Nice job everyone is being well rested and happy nice day , everyone enjoy your weekend and stay safe and have fun

Delicious authentic bakery. Almost everything other than cookies are made daily. They run out of some items early. Order ahead so you are not disappointed. I've been going to Koko's for almost 20 years. Yes sometimes he can be rough around the edges but you would be too after running a family business for decades and dealing with customers asking if things coming out of the oven are fresh! I love the food so I go for the food not the ambiance or customer service. read more

Delicious pies and cookies. Favorite is imhamara, spicy cheese with beef sausage, meat pies and zaatar. The only thing is the owner can use a class on attitude and how to tone it down. Stingy on cheap napkins too. read more

This bakery was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. Their spinach pastries were full of flavor and the dough was tender but not greasy. I will be back for sure! read more

My Family has been coming to this little hidden gem for over 30 years. They consistently make the best Zaatar Manakish, the best Lahmejune and Beoregs in Los Angeles. One of my favorites is their Cheese and Sujuk Beoreg and then their Tahini Bread for dessert. The family that runs and owns this great little bakery is always kind and welcoming. I recommend you order ahead to make sure they have what you're craving since they are usually pretty busy. We love this place, and We hope to be coming here for another 30 years! read more

3 for attitude 4 1/2 for the hard working ladies actually doing all the work. 3.75% for using your debit (so take cash) . He also likes using his bare hand to put the stack of Lahmajoon into the plastic bag ( he thought I didn't notice (gross). Also, a bakery should have all freshly baked goods every day, not days old. Please don't reply to this because it doesn't matter. read more

Delicious, authentic and flavorful! I love the homemade taste of the savory baked goods here! The turnovers and lahmajun remind me of my grandmother's cooking. Please support this small business and enjoy the flavors! read more

A coworker brought some in one day and I couldn't stop eating the mini pastry with the olives in it. Very tasty and good use of ingredients. Wasn't too salty or oily. After eating like 6-8 alone it still did not give me a heavy feeling or tired feeling. Meaning the pastry was also a healthy pastry. I look forward to coming back again and order much to share with people or coworkers read more

I usually never write negative reviews especially for family owned operations because I know how hard they work to maintain their reputation. But this experience was so bad I couldn't help myself. I will never shop from this bakery again. Horrible service, very rude attitude. It was an extremely negative experience dealing with the owners. They are never welcoming, they barely speak. God forbid you ask a question, they shut you down by implying that you should know better. spend your money at a place you'll feel better afterwards, not worse. read more

Went in there today to buy baked goods. New customer and we asked if the packaged goods on the table were from today (fair question). The cashier responded in the most rude and sarcastic manner. If you're in the service industry, maybe you should reconsider how you treat customers. First of all, respect your elders. Second, respect your customers. Won't be supporting this business and won't recommend to other Armenians in the community. Shame on you. read more

Really great baked goods and the owner is super accommodating and was even explaining what they had. I really recommend this place :) my favorite is the beef lahmajoun! read more

Amazing food but worst possible customer service I have ever encountered. More worried about proving customer wrong than accommodating customer‼ read more

Hi I just moved to Monrovia, I went to Kokos yesterday! I'm so happy tried the stuffed Spinach, stuffed meat manikish absolutely loved. My place I'll see you soon and I highly recommend! Very fresh deliciousRachel A. from Illinois . read more

This bakery makes THE best Armenian baked goods in Pasadena. Period. Their lehmejune is the best I've ever had, no wonder why it's their most popular item. Next up would be their cheese bueregs and meneish. Not only can they make these lunch and dinner style meals, but they have a wide assortment of cookies and mini versions of their bigger items. I havn't found anything here I don't like, get in your car and drive to this place, NOW read more

You see that huge flat thing in the photos section? The cheese boreg? Yeah, it's like a foot long and about $3. They also sell a plate of about 7 mini boregs that cost $8. I went in at 1 PM on a Tuesday afternoon and they were alright out of huge flat spinach boregs. I ended up getting the spicy cheese one as well as some cookies. It was not bad, but the cheese wasn't as ooey gooey as I would have liked it to be. It was also very oily. Fortunately, the dough wasn't as overwhelming as the other boregs I've tried. The cookies were better than others, but nothing special about them. read more

Fresh baked lahmagoun every day starts at 11 am and the dough is one of the best doughs anywhere in us it is the right dough for lahmagoun And they have perfected it , they have huge selections of cookies including sugarless and they all taste great read more

When I feel like being nice to my coworkers, I will stop here on my way to the office and pick up a few plates of pastries. I don't know what they're called so I just point to the ones that sit on top of the counter. I will get a dozen spinach, a dozen Olive and if I feel really generous, a dozen cheese as well. Even the people I don't really get along with will pretend to like me when fresh delicious baked goods appear in the office. Of course, I have to sample a few during my commute. Just to make sure that they are OK. Just looking out for everyone, naturally. read more

When you visit an establishment you except some kind of smile and service, this place thinks they are doing you a favor when you're paying them and you're their customer. I've been coming here for years since my kids were little and the owner had the audacity to insult me when I was buying his merchandise. I'm extremely disappointed and will never step foot here again, there are three or four other bakeries in the area with the same items! Have they heard of competition? I will definitely take my business elsewhere!! Rudest business owner I've met in my entire life!! Smile for God sake, then maybe your customers will smile back!! I feel sorry for those poor ladies who have to work for him. read more

Highly recommend stopping by. Happened to glance at the place as I was driving by and turned around to give it a shot. Glad I did. The smell in the small shop was enticing. The bread for both the fatayer (hope I'm using the correct name for the elongated triangular savory bread I purchased) and the manaeesh (again, hope I'm getting this right) was obviously fresh - very soft, still slightly warm. The sausage slices on the fatayer was slightly spicy and was delicious with the cheese they used. The manaeesh was aromatic and delicious. And I bought an assortment of cookies I look forward to trying later. The only reason I'm stopping short of 5 stars is because I've only been there once and I haven't yet tried the cookies. To me, 5 stars reflects consistency in the quality of the vendor so I'll write again when I go back. read more

One of the best boregs I've ever had! I stop by once a week to pick up a batch of the spinach boregs and box of cookies. Plenty of different options and great service as well. Always a pleasure stopping by Koko's! read more

If you are looking for delicious Armenian baked goodies, look no further. It's a mom and pop place and is mostly for people to take the stuff home (there is only one small table). They have the best bueregs in town (Armenian flat bread). I loved the cheese one (comes topped with spicy sausage) and the spinach ones. The food is always fresh and even though there are tons on Armenian bakeries in this neighborhood, you can't do better than the cheese bueregs here....simply delicious! I am salivating just thinking of it...Yummy! read more

We've been coming to Koko's for so long but today we're so disappointed. We went in at 9 am and got manaeish and realized it was so stale when we brought it home. We called in and asked if it was made today and he said it's from yesterday and continued to say what do you want us to do? Throw away the old ones? Ummmm ya maybe don't sell to your customers who are actually paying money. You don't need to throw it away, you can take it home -but don't sell to customers It's funny because in another review I read the owner say they let the client know if it's not fresh but no one informed us of that. Very disappointing and not the way to do business- mind you they don't greet you nicely and you barely get a smile... read more

This is Armenian/Middle-Eastern Bakery Heaven. Their specialty, the Zaatar & Cheese bread (Mene-cheese) is outstanding. Don't be fooled by the imitators. These guys invented it and it is as good as it gets. I'm not exaggerating when I say it made my day/ week. Everything that comes from their oven is fantastic. From the lahmajoons (armenian pizza) to the soujoukh (armenian sausage) bouregs. This place is the real deal folks. The quality and love they put in their product is unparalleled. This is the epitome of a mom and pops bakery. I would give Koko's 10 stars if i could. This is my go to spot in Pasadena. Everywhere else is secondary. Quick tip: go as early as possible to get the product as it comes out from the oven; hot, steamy and delicious. read more

Best place for fresh bakery I know the order long time ago and he's always fresh fresh fresh read more

I love this place. Koko and family are the nicest people. I always pick up 2 to 3 dozen Lahmajoon AKA Armenian Pizza for the family and my co-workers. Everyone Loves it. They bake everything fresh, it comes out of the oven while you are there. It's really hard to drive back home and not open the box and start eating on the way home.. They have lots of small finger food type desert which is is awesome. There is plenty of street parking. I've tried Lahmajoon from everywhere in Pasadena, Glendale and Hollywood. No one compares to the quality and taste of Koko's Bakery. read more

Everything I had was delicious. Unfortunately, I can't remember what anything was called. One was a lovely bread wrapped around a mildly spiced and wonderfully chewy cheese. I also shared a flat bread topped with a meat mixture. Divine. This is more of a takeaway bakery than a sit down place although there is a small table with two chairs available if you're lucky. I'll be back read more

This bakery knocked me off my feet, the minute I set foot inside...what an aroma! Smelled like heaven. Bought the spinach borek, (a dozen) the Lebanese "pizza" ( a bag of 10) and the date cookies. The cookies were so good they were dangerous. Best sweet treat I've had in many months! Tasted absolutely fresh and just like homemade, and oh...soft, and ....yum...delicious. I asked my husband to take them to work because I feared I would polish off the entire bag of 20. The spinach in the borek was incredible- perfectly seasoned. They melted in my mouth. The "pizza" was an excellent change for breakfast, toasted in the toaster oven, with a piece of fruit, a wedge of cheese and a cup of really good coffee. There's nothing better than that. The owner was very helpful, since I was unfamiliar with the cuisine, and he had the kindest, most lovely blue eyes. My recommendation: Treat yourself! Buy a few goodies here. You won't be disappointed. read more

I love Koko's I have been loyal customer for I believe more than 20 yrs. there Lahmajun is the best in town and every thing else they make is home made by hand . try them, you'll be a loyal customer too. read more

I came and tried the cheese and spinach/cheese combo mini boregs. They come 12 in a pack. I bought 2 packs for myself. Yes, I'm a pig. Don't eat them on the drive home. Instead, throw them in the microwave for about 10 seconds, or toaster oven if you can wait that long, and eat them warm. Makes a world of difference, and brings out the flavor/texture of the cheese. I like that the lemon flavor is not overwhelming, unlike some other bakeries. Just personal preference. The spinach/cheese was delicious (better than just cheese, in my opinion). Will be back to try other items! read more

This is my go-to spot for Lakhmejoon (Armenian pizza) I especially love the pomegranate paste ones. (Please note, these are made fresh and I'd recommend calling ahead of time to order them) The staff is very friendly and they have a lot of variety. This is a family business and you know their food is baked fresh with the finest ingredients. My family and I have been coming here for many years and will continue to order from Koko's bakery. read more
