I received these cakes as a gift, so can o my comment on the product. Unfortunately, the cakes were a bit stale; cream filling tasted as if it had been made with margarine (versus butter); and the sponge was dry. read more

Unfortunately, the desserts here were let down. Both of the cakes we tried or try and did not seem fresh. Packaging was nice and everything looked beautiful, but unfortunately, it was not worth returning for. read more

I have bought their Napoleans for years. They're the real kind with homemade custard.

A good friend of mine always brings our family sweet treats from Lord & Villa Bakery. I finally got the chance to stop by the bakery in person. Lord & Villa Bakery are known for their Custard Napoleon and different kinds of butter cookies from my understanding. We love their COCONUT MACAROONS - the best. Service is friendly so ask for recommendations, if it's your first time here. read more

I have been a patron here for DECADES! But over the last several years, their quality has significantly gone down with their prices skyrocketing. Look at how they sold me my Perok! Burnt to a crisp, dry and flavorless and charging $16 for the small size. It was so disappointing to get home and open my box to see this! This is just shameful and an example of greedy price gauging. With so many other great neighborhood options, I will be taking business elsewhere. read more

Huge bakery with tons of selection. They are famous for their napoleon's and for good reason. They have lots of cakes and other pastries that are delicious and good value. Plenty of other treats and candy too. The berry tart was very tasty and perfectly sweet. You get a 4% discount if you pay with cash. read more

I used to work next door to this lovely bakery so I got to know the staff well and had many of the desserts that were made at this place. The owner is always there greeting everyone with a smile. The staff of ladies are helpful, patient and friendly! The place is always super busy, but you never have to wait very long when ordering. They stay open until 9pm. The pastries, cookies, cakes are all made with high quality ingredients. You won't be disappointed with anything. I no longer work next door, and miss their treats very much! Try the Napoleon, and the cream filled donuts! The best!! read more

This place is amazing for their Napoleon, but they are extremely expensive and most of the time the pastries are old. The service is improved over time, recently I purchased what I ordered was potato pickets and I was given cheese. Maybe have a better system to separate cheese from potato read more

When I think of Lord & Villa, I think of the best napoleons... To me they are the standard. Just perfect. It's slightly crisp on the outside with its delicate puff pastry then filled with sweet pastry creme and topped with powdered sugar. That's it. Simple and great. Mille-feuille perfection. I worked at a nearby hospital for almost 15 years and every time a patient of ours went to Lord & Villa, chances are they were buying us a box of napoleons. We loved that and were so appreciative... I actually should say napoleon without the "s" because that now $24 box is one big napoleon that you cut to serve. It's genius. It's always been that way. I do think the current price is a little high but we still bought one a few weeks ago... You can buy a single serving size but trust you'll want the box. I cant even tell you how much the single serving is, because I've never ordered it. Another good item to get at Lord & Villa is the apricot pie ($12). Makes for a great snack along with your morning coffee or afternoon tea. They are a full service bakery so they have everything from cakes to smaller pastries by the weight. Located along Pacific Ave in Glendale just above Glenoaks Blvd. Parking is in a shared lot with the other businesses in the plaza such as Moto Sushi. read more

First of all I wanted to say the cake I ordered I was very happy until I cute the cake in front of my guests I was so embarrassed. The cake was so overcooked the actual cake was not eatable my guests didn't even eat it they were so disappointed themselves. Basically embarrassing. I called the bakery the employee said no manager or owner so I told her she had the nerve to tell me it happens sometimes like that and she will mention it. The nerve this is a bakery what do you mean it happens it's ok. She then said that is how cakes are supposed to be I bake myself not a professional baker but know when something is extremely overdone. There was no flavor in the cake the dough part just horrible. One of those u put in your mouth and unable to swallow so dry. They didn't offer nothing didn't really care other than it happens. I drive 20 min to get there and this is what I get. I asked for a call back from manager or owner they didn't bother. My mother then called next day they say are you calling about yesterdays cake we know about it and pretty much said we can't help you want come Monday to talk to the chef we are not getting involved. Will not recommend this bakery. Stay far away from it so you do not go through what I went through. read more

My sister's boyfriend brought Napoleon pastry for Mother's Day a few years ago and we all fall in love with it. Had never had like it. So it's now a Mother's Day cake tradition. All the cakes , cookies and any pastries are absolutely fresh and delicious. Customer service outstanding. Worth the drive read more

I have only had the Napaleon pastry from here, which is one of their specialty items (granted everything else also looks good). But the Napaleon is AMAZING . Crispy layers, the creme is not super sweet nor greasy, good portion size (usually I only have half of one piece in one sitting). Four pieces are ~$14. Can't recommend more highly. read more

This turned out to be a spur of the moment, less than inspired decision to stop in. We'd been in Pasadena / Glendale area, visiting historic sites. An early lunch had worn off, and it was several hours till dinner time. With a June Gloom day sapping my energy, I was thinking of a cookie or pastry for a quick fix. Not the healthiest choice, but. . . The parking lot wasn't very full at 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon. The interior of the bakery was larger than the outside appearance of the space. Many cases of cakes, tarts, pastries, and cookies lined three sides. A cold case with beverages bridged the space between the two entrance doors. The decor looked light and airy, if a bit dated. Several cash register stations were handled by two employees. We weren't really greeted when we came in, nor offered help. Staff members were moving around behind the scenes, and I felt like other patrons knew the routine of how to get help in the shop, while we were left in the dark. We walked around ourselves, looking at the goodies on display. They didn't have pastries like Danish, or bear claws. Once we caught the attention of one of the associates, we got helped. We ended picking a selection of six cookies. Advertised at $10.00 a pound, a wide variety of different styles were available. Our six cookies came to $5, which seemed extravagant. Once we busted open the box in the car, taste buds dancing in happy anticipation, the joy quickly left the automobile. Ugh! Crumbly, dry, lacking in distinctive flavor. Where's the coffee? Tea? Something to wash down these dense baked goods with too much flour, and not enough moisture! Even the chocolate cookie with chocolate-raspberry filling barely tasted of anything resembling chocolate. I was so disappointed. Dear Hubby and I looked at each other and started laughing. My big treat of a sugar fix was pretty much a bust. Their style of baking is not our style of eating sweets. Possibly the cakes or tarts are better. Presumably so, since they've probably been in business for years. But based on the total disappointment of the cookie selection, we likely won't give them a second chance. read more

I just purchased a walnut cake and paid a good price for it. When I brought it home and cut it there was no walnut in the cake. They had just sprinkled a very little walnut on top of the cake. That is terrible. I will not buy from there again and will let all my friends and relatives who regularly buy from there know about the scam. read more

I bought one box of napoleon and mikado. Total came to 55$, when I used my debit card, total came out $57.19, employees are saying that it's the machine fee, and they don't know why. This is an illegal practice. I asked to talk to manager/owner, they refused to come forward. I am going to call my bank, VISA and better services Beaureu. read more

I picked up a Napoleon and Chocolate Mousse dessert to go. Paid $3.90 for both. The Napoleon tasted fresh but the mousse wasn't that good. Looks like, from other reviews, that Napoleon is the way to go here. They charge by pound for most items. A little high priced for the quality. They are open late though so maybe I'd be back with a post-dinner craving but that's about it. The lady working there did not seem that happy (which I read in other reviews) but she was nice and did help me efficiently so no complaints on the service! Looks like the make most items here so maybe this is a good place to pick up bread, etc.. read more

Worst customer service. Bought a chocolate cake. I was confused & disgusted eating it. It was chocolate & vanilla cake but tasted like orange cake. The ingredients didn't list orange, I didn't taste any vanilla in it Or chocolate. I called they said bring it back. I take it back the worker said the owner said we can't take it back or do anything about it, since it was cut. How else am I suppose to taste the cake? I need to cut a piece! The worker tried it & agreed it tasted like orange. Basically they did nothing to fix it or give me something else in return. I spent $18 on a cake that tasted horrible & wrong, I took it back & left it on the counter walked out. The owner did nothing to fix the problem. read more

I came in to pick up a cake my mom had ordered and wanted to get the green brûlée. So I got it thinking it'll be this crunchy soft creamy dessert I was having a sweet tooth. I came home to try it oh wow the dessert not only wreaked like a scent of garlic but the sweet crunchy part was all soggy and inside was milky thick it seemed like it had been out for days and they were just getting rid of the old orders. I was soo disgusted I immediately threw it out and I will be calling to let them know. I've had crème brûlées fresh and this Armenian owned bakery just resells it's old when that is nasty. I will be calling and advising the manager and if you want fresh pastry stay away from this place. And check the picture and tell me if that seems normal. I was really looking forward to this it's so horrible I feel disgusted. read more

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2015 Lord and Villa Bakery came highly recommended to me by my Khaleh Joons L&S. Post Disneyland trip my husband, son and I trekked out to Glendale to find this highly recommended bakery. It's located in a small shopping center with a tiny parking lot but we were able to find parking ((luckily)). Once we stepped inside we were greeted by the friendly employees behind the large glass bakery displays. The entire shop smells of butter, sugar and sweet spices. In the middle of the bakery they have what seems to be an endless supply of European chocolates which are hard to find. This bakery is so amazing they have the most beautifully made desserts - cakes (sheet, slices, small), napoleons, cookies, Nazook, Gata, the list could literally go on and on. We purchased: four dozen raisin butter cookies four Gata (two regular and two cardamom) There are supposed to be two locations of Lord and Villa- the one in Glendale and one Tehran (according to my Klaheh Joon). Friendly customer service, delicious pastries make this a must visit when in the 818. The raisin butter cookies are my favorite :) Wish they had a location in Northern California. If you're needing something for your sweet tooth, a dessert for a party or want to treat your family to a delicious baked item be sure to stop at Lord and Villa Bakery! Noelle's Notes They take cash, debit. Friendly customer service Raisin butter cookies are my fave! Gata comes now in cardamom. Apple Pay / NFC isn't working but they have the machine. read more
