Their pastries never fail to satisfy my sweet tooth. I always get their assorted ponchik because I can't pick just a single flavor -- you can't go wrong with any of them because they're all pretty good! The texture is always right and they're generously filled. It's one of their popular items, but they have a lot of other good stuff on their menu too! Their perashkis are good if you're looking for something savory (I wish there was an "assorted" box for this too for when I can't pick a single flavor). Also recommend their Bread broat - Adjarakan and Georgian Khachapuri. And then there's the cake section. Don't get me started on this. I'm admittedly biased when it comes to honey cakes but their assorted sheet cakes are SO GOOOOOOD!!! Just the right sweetness and texture, and good portion sizing (bless them for this because I'd eat the whole sheet otherwise). So yeah, if you're looking for a new spot to try or just want a break from other known big or chain bakeries, try Papillon! read more

We've ordered from Papillon Bakery in Northridge several times now, and every single visit has been consistently great. The food is always fresh, tasty, and very reasonably priced, which keeps us coming back. Some of our absolute favorites are the potato pirashki, cabbage pirashki, nacho cheese empanadas, and of course the custard and Nutella ponchiks--everything is always warm, flavorful, and perfectly made. Today my husband, who is very picky, decided to try their lahmajun for the first time. He loved it! It was crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. That was another win for Papillon. Definitely worth trying a variety of their recipes--you really can't go wrong here. read more

Terrible operation at this location. I called 20 minutes ahead for pickup and was told to come in 15 minutes. When I arrived, they told me it would be another 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, there were many other unhappy customers waiting as well. The service was disorganized, and the wait time was much longer than promised. Definitely needs better communication and customer service. read more

Best pirozhki in LA! They make them fresh as you order. They deep-fry them and what you get is a culinary masterpiece. The dough and the filling are delicious and melt in your mouth. My favorite pirozhki are with cabbage and potatoes. Both kinds are very slightly spiced and salted. The dough and the filling are temperature hot, tender and delicious. The potato ones resemble the softness and texture of yummy mashed potatoes. The cabbage ones taste like the cabbage was slightly sautéed before being deep-fried in the dough. Both kinds are incredibly good. The spot itself is more of a to-go spot, with only 2 tables available for dining in. The service is friendly and very efficient. They take your order and the cooking process starts. Will definitely come back for more pirozhki! read more

Papillon Bakery is amazing! Everything is always fresh, delicious, and beautifully made. The quality is excellent and the service is always so friendly. Definitely one of my favorite bakeries read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Papelion Bakery. My wife and I came in, but the employee took too long to come and serve us because they were busy talking with another employee. We had to wait while no one was helping us. After finally being served, we ordered lahmajoun and perashki, but the food quality was extremely poor. Both items tasted old, were not fresh, and were honestly not acceptable for a bakery. The customer service was also very disappointing. Customers should not be left waiting while employees are having conversations, and food should always be fresh and high quality. I will not be coming back and I hope management takes this seriously and improves both the service and the food quality. read more

Feeling like a carb-y day so Armenian baked goods it is! Went with a box of 14 beef Perashkis. Think empanadas but much softer and fluffier. They were stuffed with a good amount of ground beef. They also included some seasoning salt on the side to sprinkle on. Other popular ones are potato and cheese. We also ordered some lahmajun (Armenian pizza). Thin layer of dough with ground meat, herbs, spices, and tomatoes. Squeeze a little lemon on top to jazz it up. We also ordered some mini ponchiks (think filled donut). We ordered filled with custard and they were yummy little bites. Do note that the ponchiks are best eaten right away when hot/warm, saving these for the next day just doesn't work. Texture of the dough changes. They have a lot of fillings for the ponchiks so take your pick! read more

Didn't know about this place. Basically wanted something sweet and it was literally around the corner from where I was. Popped in for a browse just to see what they had to offer. It's a cute little cafe bakery. Lots of seating with the lounges. Like a coffee shop and bakery. What they had in the glass counter all looked great. There's also pre packed pastries on hand. I picked up two different cheese rolls. One, your classic cheese roll with the glazed on top and the other was a cheese puff pastries. Both were really nice. Packaging is quite pretty. A pretty nice spot for international pastries in the valley. read more

My buddy came over with these Arminian Pastries for my house warming party. I don't think I had one cuz my guests ate them all. Found it in Northridge and absolutely loved it! They're so different than American Pastries. Love the change for once. I'll be going back. The service was amazing also! Btw every pastry is made fresh and fried on the spot. At least the day I went. Make sure you wait 5 minutes before you take a bite or you'll get burnt. read more

The young man helping was knowledgeable and helpful explaining the different dishes, and the decoration is cozy, but those are the only pros. I tried the custard ponchik, cheese perashki, mushroom perashki, and spicy cheesy greens. It took about 30 minutes for our order to be ready and I wasn't really impressed with anything. It's my first time trying all three dishes, so I have nothing to compare them to to confirm whether I even received what I ordered. The mushroom perashki and spicy cheesy greens tasted exactly the same. The custard ponshik was primarily dough with about a teaspoon of custard in it. I did enjoy the perashki, though. read more

Caught them trying to charge double for an order and then when I picked up on it, they start scrambling for excuses. Absolutely disgusting to try to scam your customers like this. Especially those who have frequently your business on multiple occasions. read more

Always get ponchiks, specifically Nutella ones to take to someone's house as a little treat! Front cashier girl is super kind and patient especially as it gets so busy! Highly recommend for a sweet treat read more

Oh my god. When it comes to armenian bakeries. I just found the best one around. I've Never been to a bakery where they make you're perashki fresh to order. Literally the meat perashki went from fryer to my mouth in 30 seconds. The staff is wonderful.Do yourself in favor and try it out. read more

I have been wanting to try these for a while and finally got some yesterday. This bakery is known for fresh Armenian donuts called Ponchiks. If beignets and Beard Papa's had kids you get Ponchiks. These are so good! I love how they were not greasy or overly sweet. You cannot eat just one. I got the custard filled this time. Will get Nutella next. Definitely give them a try. read more

Went here a few months back because I love the Khachapuri. I placed an order online and arrived to the bakery much earlier than expected. I greeted the woman at the front counter just letting her know I was there but was aware I was a bit early. Without a response greeting & somewhat dismissive, "yea...it's 30 minutes". Let her know that wasn't a problem and I'll just wait around. Every customer she greeted after me was greeted, wayyyyy less attitude. The bakery started filling up with people and my order was ready. Once I get to the counter, she boxes my food dismissively then proceeds to shove it in my direction, purposely avoids eye contact while doing so & then when I smile & say 'thank you'. Response given... 'bye'. Although the food was delicious, the entire interaction was off putting & soured the experience. Sadly, I don't think I'll be returning to this location. I understand a bad day or a rude customer, but this didn't feel like that. The entire experience felt unwelcoming & unenjoyable. The bakery its self is cute, clean & would make a lovely place for a hangout... it just won't be a place I'd choose to frequent again. Hopefully someone else has better experience. I will recommend the food. Just not the service. read more

Wait, but how did it take me this long to try Papillon?! The Ponchik is divine and the variety is heavenly... I recommend: Nutella Nutella and Oreo Oreo Raspberry Dulce De Lèche Custard Each is about $4. Great for a half dozen bites. More than enough for 1-3 to share. I've also tried the Cheese Roll, but I wasn't the biggest fan. It's much thicker than the comparable from Porto's. I ordered for delivery so I can't speak to ambiance and seating. read more

First off I'd like to say the woman here who was working on Dec 20th has absolutely ZERO customer service skills. I placed an online order for pickup for an event we were having. I walked in about 10 minutes after my pickup time and the place wasn't busy WHATSOEVER, it was just me. I asked if my order was ready and she seemed confused for a second, after finding it behind her she says, "Well you were supposed to be here 10 minutes ago.." with an attitude !??!?! What's it to you when im there, am i disrupting your thousand customer work rush?!? Ridiculous. Customer service aside, this place has gone downhill in quality. Forget that ponchiks are now $3.10 EACH, we opened at least 5 or 6 of them up and couldn't even find custard inside.. like what am i paying for? Fried dough? So disappointing.. read more

Omgg you guys have to try this place out. The food is immaculate, especially the ponchiks that are filled with so many flavors and the perashkis. The customer service is amazing! Everyone is so friendly and respectful. Definitely going back here! read more

Love the place it's chill .. ambiance is good. Service is amazing food is really good. Highly recommend the beef and chicken empanada read more

I came to this bakery based on its overall good reviews. I needed a desert or some pastries to gift a friend that had recently lost her mother. I was looking for some delicious Baklava and other Armenian dishes I could gift my friend during her difficult time. The sales associate helped me with picking a couple of their top sellers. She wrapped the items up very neatly. My friend was so happy! She said everything was so delicious and plentiful. I'm so happy I purchased from this location. read more

The concept of an international bakery is a luring proposition. While this brand has other locations, I visited the one on Roscoe in Northridge. The inside has a small but comfortable seating with couches. There are sample goods in the showcases but no tags for names or origins. Therefore, one has to ask. When I did so, the man behind the counter seemed agitated and was unfriendly to answer so many questions. I ordered at the counter and waited 15 minutes till my carry out order was ready. I took home 3 items. Beef empanadas ($4.50 each) were fried and had a crispy chewy covering. The ground beef inside was bland. I also got a potato Perashki ($2.85). This by far, was the best. The potato filling had taste and the baked outer dough had the right amount of chew. The last item was a mini beef Georgian Khachapuri ($8.99). Think of the outer covering of a pupusa but disk shaped. The beef filling here was identical to the one in the empanada and therefore, uneventful. Take out box came with red chili (or Cayenne) powder and salt mix. Hardly tasted the red powder. read more

Guys I absolutely Love Odrin! She was incredibly kind and patient with me while I indecisively chose what I wanted. All of the desserts and food looked incredible so it took me a while to decide and she explained what it all was with a kind attitude. The food was so delicious and I will absolutely be back for more! It came out hot and freshly baked. Thanks guys! read more

Ponchik are delicious! empanadas were okay we did chicken, beef and spicy pork! But customer service is not great! The lady helping was rude and unhelpful as it was the first time going in and ordering. Asked if she had a sample of the Halva and with a great amount of attitude she said no and seemed bothered. Will have to check out and maybe order from the other locations. read more

Terrible customer service, even if you order and put time, they make you wait 20 min. And prices are way too expensive

Made with much care, Always made fresh, very affordable, filling and I always crave this at least once a week! my favorite bakery in LA

I used to love this place but lately they've been going cheap, the ponchiks used to ooze filling of Nutella or cream but ever since they added the Dubai ponchik, the product has become worse. It's basically a big doughnut with a TEA spoon of Dubai chocolate filling . The filling tastes great no complaints there , but when it's double the price of a regular ponchik and half the filling and double the dough ... it's not worth it. I bought it a few times and thought maybe it was just a bad batch here and there but it's consistently been disappointing. You basically have to just bite the middle filling and throw the rest of the heavy dough away . read more

Absolutely terrible experience. I ordered from Papillon Bakery and ended up with food poisoning. The food was undercooked and tasted like it was made with old oil. Nothing about it was fresh. This place clearly doesn't care about quality or safety. Never ordering from here again! read more

Been ordering from here for a while now....always fresh and consistent taste! The ponchiks are the best, the dough to custard ratio is on point unlike some other places where its all dough and not enough custard. 10/10 read more

One of the worst services ever. They keep making mistakes on delivery at all times. I had put in an order and of course they didn't send my cake pops. And a girl called saying oh I forgot to send your cake pops. You can come and get them tomorrow. Never ever again. They suck! read more

Although they are on Uber eats they have no idea how it works or to manage orders. I called to inquire help about why my order wasn't going through and language was a major barrier. After an extremely long delay, they finally sent the order. It was stale , disgusting and old. I recommend not using this location. read more

STAY AWAY! Wow what a shltty customer service. Ordered online and came in to pick up 45 minutes later. Nothing was ready, order was never put in... Guy at counter gave me an attitude - like wait another 30 minutes or leave, we don't care. I asked for refund and he said they can't , have to wait for two days to refund, on cc....what??? Yea if it doesn't go thru just call us... He kept saying "what you wanna do?" Like I had a choice... So I waited another 30 minutes Was it worth the wait? Not really. Mood was ruined. Food was just ok... Upd. As I write the review another person comes in to pick up online order just to be told to wait... Disrespect for peoples time is a common practice here AVOID! read more

Papillon International Bakery - Cute excuse to make you wait bc they messed up or forgot your order - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I randomly saw this on my friend's snapchat story and I immediately had to know where! With many locations around the Valley, Papillon is a hit. This specific location has an interesting interior that definitely catches your eye! Located on the corner, you may have to go around the building to initially find it. My personal favorite sweet are the ponchiks! They're cute and miniature. The flavors we got were raspberry, Nutella and custard. My favorite one has to be the Nutella! Also, we got the Pizza Perashki which is basically a meat pizza! Thin yet crispy crust, I recommend this to anyone that wants more of a savory taste. Overall, nice staff and interior so I would definitely recommend to come again and try the rest of their yummy delicacies! read more
