This place has good pastries ! There are several different bakeries right by here and id have to say this one by far is the best one! The ladies that work here were super helpful and nice! the place was very clean. There are places you can sit at as well. The only thing for me is theres no names on anything so i had to point at everything, which made me give it a 4 star. Other than that this place is really good! read more

Parking was easy, cookies were good and prices were affordable. Passed by Sarkis on my way home and decided to try it. Passed by around 7 pm and parking was easy. It was my first time and I told the staff. I wished they walked me through a few of their items or were willing to answer questions. None of the items were labeled in the display cases so I had no idea what they were. I just pointed to some cookies in the display case and paid for them. Some cookies had pistachios in them. They were good and I may come back if I crave them. read more

We had a grand opening at a nearby location and decided to order from Sarkis Pastry. Everyone loved all of the different pastries and cookies. I think the real winner was the feta and potato turnover pastries. They were warm with flaky dough. Absolutely delicious. We had trays of cookies, baklava and Karabeej with Pistachio & Natiff Marshmallow to dip in. All of our tenants seemed to really love all of the pastries and cookies. We served these with fresh fruit and warm coffee. Thank you Sarkis Pastry for making out event turn out so well. read more

A friend and I stopped by for dinner and were beyond impressed by the flavor and quality of our meal! We ordered the jarko (potatoes and meat), mutabal (eggplant dip), and the beet salad. Everything was incredible. The potatoes were perfectly roasted and seasoned, and the meat was tender. We don't even like eggplant and the mutabal was so good I wanted to bring a jar of it home. The beet salad was loaded with beets and flavored nicely with acid. The folks working were kind as well. Overall an absolutely amazing meal and we will be back next time we're in town!! read more

This bakery is a little hidden gem! I had written a 5-star review last year and today I happened to be in the area again, so I figured I would revisit Sarkis Pastry. They served me an excellent latte with a touch of cinnamon paired with the most delicious chocolate pastry. I had some work to do on my laptop and the wireless was fast and reliable. Just nice, kind people in an immaculately clean and comfortable environment. I always prefer exploring small family-owned businesses over big chains. It can be a little hit and miss, but occasionally you stumble upon an exceptional business. Sarkis Pastry is definitely a top choice if you're looking for tasty pastries or just a little spot to sip a nice coffee, get some work done, and enjoy a sweet treat! read more

Sarkis is where I go if I'm looking for quality pastry or looking for a great dessert contribution for a potluck. I've been a fan for years, and I think their baklava and cookies were my first introduction to their greatness. I soon started enjoying their savory items too (like their za'atar-covered breakfast items), and whenever I'm in Glendale or nearby, I'm sorely tempted to stop by and pick up a snack. I never had an issue with parking (there's a lot on site), and the service is consistently efficient and friendly. I usually pick up my items to take away, but there is seating inside if you want to eat on site. read more

We were in Glendale for a wedding and so didn't have a ton of time to explore (family wedding so there were lots of family obligations), but I really wanted to do a bakery crawl in Glendale Sunday morning before we headed to West LA and then north up the coast. Sarkis was one of our stops, and we tried three different pastries (two versions of baklava and a savory potato pastry). They were all okay, but it wasn't my favorite bakery of the crawl. Probably just because I'm more of a savory/salty girl! Still, if you want a large variety of pastries, Sarkis was one of the biggest and best stocked bakeries we visited on our crawl - lots of choices! read more

I was very disappointed by this bakery. I had read high reviews about this bakery having the best baklava in Glendale. I love baklava and was extremely excited to taste it. The service was fast and the workers were attentive. It is a small shop with seating if you would like to enjoy any of the goods you grab in store. Otherwise, their packaging is also cute. Unfortunately, the baklava here was just barely adequate. It uses a sugar-based syrup rather than honey, which gave it a sugary flavor rather than featuring the warmth and depth of honey syrup. The syrup also penetrated through the entirety of the phyllo dough. I almost walked out without purchasing anything because they didn't look fresh enough to purchase and properly review but I figured that this is an accurate reflection of their product. Definitely come by for other baked goods, but if you are picky about your baklava, or are just looking for good baklava in general, do not get your hopes up. If you are just looking for baklava in general, this will do the job. read more

Another great bakery in Glendale!! Once you come in, there's a ton of pastries and cookies. What's good: - Pistachio Cake: Light, nutty pistachio flavor, creamy. - Chocolate ganache cake: tasty chocolate cake with ganache on top. - Pistachio cookie: It's hard to find pistachio pastries that have a lot of pistachio flavor in it. Wonderful. Everyone wore a mask, not chaotic inside. Has a parking lot. The packaging is quite nice too. What stood out from here and other local bakeries was the exceptional kind service. She gave us free extra cookies to "fill the box"! Awww! Bless her. read more

I am positive that these reviews are false and come from relatives and friends or are paid. Either that ir they come from people that are unfamiliar with Arabic sweets. I have really never tasted worst sweets, and I have ordered from many places. The baklava has a tiny amount of nuts, not just a little - but like less than 1/4 of the needed amount and are dry and so not taste fresh at all. The syrup has a strange taste. What they call "macaroons" are dry and almost syrup-less. In addition, the website states that they ship within 24 hours. I placed the order on Tuesday night and it was shipped on Friday and arrived on Saturday. I paid extra for one day shipping. I am going out of town on Monday and if the order didn't arrive today, it would have been a waste. The mamoul is not bad, but I've tasted much better . I paid over a hundred dollars for this order and I feel that it was a waste. I don't know if I am allowed to recommend places - but places on the East Coast especially in Michigan are by far much better. I just did not have time and did t want to pay $50 for two-day shipping- big mistake read more

Wonderful baklava! They are a "must stop by" whenever I'm in Glendale. They have some of the best baklava I've ever tasted! They make their own phyllo dough with butter instead of buying commercially made phyllo dough. You can taste the difference. You can taste the butter and the crispy, fresh texture. They have cashew, walnut, almond baklavas and many more. They also ship their pastries too. Highly recommended! read more

From the Business

Specialties

With locations in Glendale, Anaheim and Pasadena, Sarkis Pastry stores are the pride of their communities. Traditional and authentic Middle Eastern and European pastries are the results of a family history in the baking industry for over 40 years. Though the baklava is one of many Sarkis Pastry favorites, we also feature many other varieties of original Middle Eastern sweets as well as French style birthday and wedding cakes; each with endless variety of styles and decorations. Cakes can be ordered by phone and picked up at any of our three locations. "The daintily shaped baklava and kunafa pastries are the loyalty of the Near Eastern sweets, indeed." writes Linda Burum, in her Los Angeles Times article, referring to Sarkis' famous hand rolled baklava.

History

Established in 1983.

Sarkis Pastry was introduced in the United States by being the first Middle Eastern/Armenian bakery in Glendale. Expanding into new locations, Sarkis Pastry next opened a shop in Anaheim in 1995. Soon after in 1999, the newest of 3 locations was opened in Pasadena. Presently, all 3 locations are moving forward serving their respective communities.

Let's start with the drink....I'm not a fan of anything rose flavored or scented so I wanted to make sure the rose flavor wasn't too strong in the Jallab. Since I was told the rose flavor is pretty prominent, it was suggested I do the Jallab with lemonade. What a perfect selection! I didn't pick up any rose flavor and the drink was so pretty. This is a refreshing alternative if you don't want to go with a soda. I already had my heart set on the appetizers and fortunately the other person was on board with the same choices. For dippers, I always go with a yogurt and cucumber appetizer and the Babaghanouj did not disappoint. These sides came with three pieces of pita bread. Neither side was overly garlicky and paired well with my entree. If you love cheese borek like I do, get you some cheese rolls. My only regret is only getting one. The cheese rolls were perfectly flavored and not overly salty. Now for the entree...I already had my eye on three meats so the waitress said to go with The Your Way Plate, which came with a kafta and tenderloin skewer. I also added a lamb skewer on the side. Both my lamb and tenderloin skewer were cooked medium and they were perfect. Lamb is one of those dishes that can be a hit or miss because if it's not cooked right, it will be chewy - mine was perfect! And, the spices they use to cook the lamb in will have you trying to pick up every last drop of juice with your pieces of meat. No complaints with the kafta either. I chose rice as my side because I love me the carbs. We went on a weekday for lunch and parking was easy enough to find on a side street.

I've tried both the regular and classic versions of the chicken shawarma wraps and liked them both. The classic style comes with fries on the inside of the wrap, and I thought the chicken was flavorful and not dry. The service was friendly, but during my second visit the staff seemed overextended given the number of tables they had to cover; this may have led to the error in getting the wrong side with my meal but they were quick to correct it once I brought it to their attention. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and overall I thought it was a great spot to have a casual meal.

Perfectly cooked fish served in a rich, savory cherry tomato sauce. Beef Shish Kabob: Incredibly tender, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. Grilled Octopus: Flavors and presentation were nice, though the texture was a bit tough and over-charred/grilled on our visit.

Great food, great company, and we'll definitely be back for the fish and pita bread!

Ordered two of the standard dinner and two of the vegan dinner and it was a lots of food--we ended up taking about 4 boxes to go at the end of the meal, definitely come hungry if you decide to do the set menu. My personal favorite was the falafel and the baba ghanoush, especially with the pomegranate seeds which provided a nice brightness. I appreciated the variety of flavors across the different appetizers and plates. Had the choice of coffee, hot mint tea, or hot black tea to close out the meal which helped with digestion. The space is lavishly decorated and it was busy throughout, while likely also was the cause for slower service. Street parking wasn't too hard to find as it was still early for dinner time on Sunday.

Also, I think that was the best pita bread I've ever had, period. We also tried the borekas, and they were perfect little bites to begin. We were celebrating my co-worker/mentee's birthday, and they brought her a yummy birthday dessert as well. And we split a great bottle of wine. Mazal is an unsuspecting beautiful experience. We found street parking but we couldn't find the actual restaurant because I just assumed the building was an apartment building. Once we finally walked through the door, inside is so lovely. I LOVE their bar countertop. We sat outside which has great vibes for summer. Cute lighting, all the works. I want to sincerely thank them for a wonderful birthday dinner for my friend.

I've been coming to Sarkis Pastry for decades--ever since they made my wedding cake over 30 years ago. And let me tell you, they've never once disappointed. Their baklava is nothing short of divine--each layer of golden, flaky phyllo soaked in just the right amount of aromatic syrup, generously filled with perfectly toasted nuts. It's rich, crisp, and melts in your mouth with an authenticity that transports you straight to the heart of the Middle East. Every pastry and cookie is crafted with care and tradition. The ma'amoul, barazek, and ghraybeh are simply exquisite--delicate textures, bold flavors, and just sweet enough to keep you reaching for more. And the selection of Middle Eastern desserts? Absolutely phenomenal. These are not your average sweets; they're the kind of treats that leave a lasting impression. When anyone asks me where to find the best pastry shop, my answer is always the same: Sarkis Pastry. They're not trying to be trendy or follow fleeting fads--they're rooted in tradition, consistency, and flavor. They're here to stay, and they are delicious beyond words. read more

We recently custom ordered a cake from Sarkis Pastry for a special celebration, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! The bakery was exceptionally clean and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and easy to work with from start to finish. They listened carefully to our ideas and created a beautiful cake that matched exactly what we envisioned. Most importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and enjoyed by all of our guests. It's not always easy to find a bakery that delivers both stunning design and amazing taste, but Sarkis Pastry truly exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be ordering from them again and highly recommend them for any special occasion! read more

I thought baklava would be the best gift to my aunt when I went visit her in LA. And I was right! I placed an order online and they shipped it to her using UPS. This was much easier than going there to pick it up myself especially that I do not know the city well. The order was delivered the next day in a perfect condition. Very good packaging and the baklava was delicious. I paid a lot for this (baklava tray + shipping were over $30) but I do not regret it at all. My aunt loved it and I think this is a much nicer gift than chocolate. Thanks guys! read more

Best damn pastry in the city! Starting from their fresh baked baklava, and ending in their amazingly tasty spinach boregs. One might wonder, what's in between? Well the answer is a variety of always fresh cookies, beautifully designed cakes, and their own craving starter chocolates. This place is just amazing. If you are in Glendale, Pasadena, or Anaheim and you have a sweet tooth, you can not miss the opportunity of visiting sarkis pastry, and all of it's wonders. read more

Because this place is no where near my house, I had to get a one pound variety of different styles. The kind lady was so sweet and helpful and explained the different kinds of baklava. I had to take it home and the minute I had a chance to try some, man how I wish they were a lot closer to me. Only sampling a couple and they were exactly what I was hoping for, I have a lot more varieties to try. All I know is anytime I am in the Glendale area, I have to stop by and grab a sampler.

The air was filled with freshly baked goods, so I followed my nose into the bakery. I grabbed myself a matcha latte and also asked about any recommendations for sweets. They luckily just had some fresh gata that just came out of the oven so I opted to grab one of those to enjoy. Curbside, they have two tables where you can sit and chill out with your bakery goods. The matcha latte was pretty good, but the standout was the gata. It was my first time trying it and it was DELICIOUS! I would even say that it's ten times better than the cheese rolls at Porto's! Chewy, flaky, buttery, and just the right amount of sweetness. I had to restrain myself from ordering a dozen on the spot. Definitely will be back if I'm in the area again or getting my car serviced.

I was busy and didn't have time to choose the bread myself, so I trusted them to give me a good one. They gave me two pieces, and when I got home, I realized they were completely burned. When you eat them, it literally tastes like you're eating charcoal. If a customer is busy and doesn't choose the bread themselves, does that mean they should be given the burned ones? This is not okay. Food this badly burned should not be sold to customers, especially when heavily burned food can be a health concern. I expected much better from them. Very disappointed and definitely never coming back.

The price wasn't too bad and the taste was Ok ( 7 out of 10). But some food/ pastries can be pricey. I'm not complaining too much on the taste of the food, but I hoped, next time, have someone in the front that speaks English, puts a big smile on her face and make you feel welcome; makes sure you wear gloves; close the pastry door so flies won't come in & a parchment paper on the counter top. Please be more cautious about cleanliness.
