I couldn't believe some of these bad reviews that I have read so I decided to pull over because I love me a good pastry. Here I go walking in on a beautiful Saturday morning 7:35am took a glimpse of all the pastries and this wonderful women comes out with a good morning no bad attitude felt her good energy the "beautiful Saturday morning continues " it hasn't been broken yet. Anyways order two chocolate rolls *don't know what they're called* she asked if I like chocolate I responded with a yes she smiles at me and tells me she'll get me fresh ones from the back but unfortunately they weren't ready so she asked if I liked cheese ? And I sure do ! She bagged me a warm fresh cheese pastry gave her a $5 tip that she wouldn't accept but idc . I'm a food critic! And some of the reviews might have scared some people away over bad customer service comments. Ok back to my review, I get in my car and took a bite of the warm cheese pastry and it tasted good! You can instantly tell when a pastry is fresh from the first bite ! So yes I will be returning for fresh chocolate rolls & I rate this bakery a 10/10 and maybe start supporting small family owned businesses and give them a break this economy is so bad everyone deserves chances! read more

Fried beef Piroshkis are delicious! We always go back for more! Always hot and ready at 8am!

Cashier doesn't know any flavors of the cakes and does not speak english. Oreo cake was so nasty and had a chemical taste. It was also very dry. The tiramisu was decent. Ambiance definitely doesn't give clean. read more

Ordered a cherry and beef pastry. Both were incredible - the fillings were flavorful and the breading/buns were super fresh. Not a lot of signage, but the woman behind the counter was very kind and helpful in explaining what everything was. Looking forward to coming back. read more

headed to this place for some cannoli. located in some outdoor food court. small booth. shared seating with other vendiors. parking validated by store. 1.5 hours. typical european type bakery with crossianrts, tarts, cookies etc. items look home made quallity not some fancy michelin pastry shop. ordered what i came for the cannoli with semi sweet choco chips. total damage $6. eveyrthing is premade and behind a gkass cabinet. so waited 1 minute and got the food. and the verdict. its ok. its like what you get at ralphs. not mind blowing but just solid bite. tastes like what your mom would make at home. nothing fancy but satisfying. filling was njcely sweet and outer shelll good crunch. at $6 will definietly repeat if around the area. read more

T & Y Bakery - cannoli with rocotra filling and semi sweet choco chips - Bakeries Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Walked in, was completely ignored by the person behind the counter. There was one other person in there so it wasn't busy at all. Looked around with zero help from staff. Shelves were mostly empty and not especially clean looking. Walked out after a couple minutes of waiting to be acknowledged. Very unpleasant. I had questions and money to spend but I guess if you don't look like you're from the country whose cuisine they serve, you're SOL for getting anything there. read more

I finally found a bakery that knows what a poppyseed roll is! Could never find this in California until I discovered T $ Y Bakery at the Farmer's Market. Just how my Slovak grandmother taught my mother and they used to make!! read more

Great service and people. It's a family owned small bakery that feels very local. The parking is horrendous soo parking across the street at Whole Foods. No seating, it's a deli and bakery in one. I had the baklava. It was dry and very mediocre...traditionally it is layered, wet, and soft. This is not a traditional version, it's a Mediterranean version. Food: C Ambience: C+ Price: B Location: C Service: A read more

I got some beef tongue and a pastry filled with lamb. The beef tongue was meh to me. After I heated it up, it carried a strong smell that kind of bothered me. Flavor wise it was good but a bit too oily for me taste. The pastry, on the contrary, was super good! I heated it up in the oven and finished it in 3mins. The outside was perfectly crisp and the lamb inside was flavorful and juicy. These combination of carbs, meat and a bit of fat was very hard to resist, especially when the flavors were on point. Will probably go back to try their other pastry read more

They are NOT letting customer know Upfront that they will Charge 75 c. " Service Fee" , each Time - when customer use Credit/ Debit Card.They should Write Sigh next to Cashier. Transparency is a key, no need ambush customers with your Silent Fees. read more

I used to come here all the time many years ago. Their pirozhki are so good! That's all I've ever tried but everything looks tasty. I need to go back soon! read more

The lady was very rude she gave my cake to someone else she didn't want to give me a refund for the other cake and then when I got a different cake the cake was stall I couldn't eat it there is cockroaches on the floor crawling. Flies. In the bake she ruined not just my experiences my daughter 5 birthday don't come here I no I am not coming back for-sure read more

Great stuff, friendly staff. Their peroshki are delicious. Very good selection of products. Very kind woman at the counter. read more

What a great bakery. Their fresh piroshkis are so good. They've got a lot of sweet and savory offerings too. They've got chicken Kiev's that look so amazing. I want to come back and try them. I think they could have better signage to explain to customers not familiar with these foods what why are but this is a real gem read more

Since I was young, this would be the place my mom would go to for her Russian pastry and bread needs. Now, years and years later, this is where I'm taking my own kids. If you want that authentic taste, this is the place and my all time favorite is the medoviy (honey) cake. For the comments about customer service, get over it. It's not rude, it's just the Russian way. 'What do you need, your total, have a good day'... what else do u need? For them to kiss your @$$? read more

Tbilisi & Yerevan Bakery is just better! People are quick to cite Stolichnya Bakery as the premier Russian bakery in West Hollywood, but I think that is due more to their plum location next to Whole Foods than to the excellence of their goods. IMO, a better Russian bakery hides right across the street on Santa Monica Blvd. Tbilisi & Yerevan Bakery is, for my money, the better destination for dark, Russian pumpernickel, crusty Rye and fluffy Challa breads, as well as classic Russian-- especially Georgian-- sweets. From the simplicity of a Syrniki right out of the fryer, crispy mille feuille treats like torpedoes stuffed with tvorog and raisins, plus all your Pirogi and Pirozhki needs, both savory and sweet, Tbilisi & Yerevan is legit, fresh and good. Their no-pressure counter staff are courteous and helpful, but not pushy. For the best Russian baked goods, you've got to leave the Whole Foods parking lot and walk across the street to Tbilisi & Yerevan Bakery! read more

Bought pastries there today. Got Baklava with a dead insect, yes a dead bug. This is a serious health issue that I will be reporting to West Hollywood and County of Los Angeles authorities. I will be demanding my money back. In the mean time, don't even think of going here, unless you like eating dead bugs . Go across the street to the bakery near the Whole Foods They are nicer and cleaner. read more

Kierkegaard, the father of existentialism, said, "Once you label me, you negate me." The same is true of this "bakery." Sure, they've got delicious baked goods such as breads, cookies and other sweets. And it's not just plain bread, it's bread stuffed with cheese or swirls of sweet and savory seasonings. But they've also got great home-made foods, side dishes, and meats. You could literally buy an entire meal here. Maddy and I split two gigantic ground chicken stuffed bell peppers with bean and walnut salad and bread. Yum. All that came to $15 and we ate it all day. I also like that they named the "bakery" for the capitals of Georgia and Armenia, two Christian nations that are traditionally bound by their struggles of fighting off larger neighboring countries. They turned to Russia as a protector and now Russian is widely spoken by each country, in addition to their native languages. That has nothing to do with this review, but I just like history. read more

! . Being a true Russian I am certainly in love with Russian food! hearty dark rye bread, Russian sour cream, delicious salads and mmm cakes:) Unfortunately Russian people have no idea about customer service, so when I decide to go for Russian food, I already anticipate that annoying rude attitude of theirs(for example next door Arbat Deli, find more about that place in my review on it). On the opposite, Tbilisi n Yerevan Bakery(owned by Armenians, as far as I know) is a spot I LOVE to come to. A great variety of baked goods and cakes, freshly cooked salads and hot dishes, and a very important aspect: a NICE attitude. I wish I knew the names of two young girls who always help me there, they are very sweet, friendly and helpful, and make my visit to this store a pleasant stop, which puts a smile on my "tired after a long day" face:) read more

IMO the best bread in LA I have been able to find in 25 years. Cheap as dirt as they cater to poor Eastern Europeans, many Russian. The bread is always fresh as they take their day old bread and mark it down to about half price. Pastries look great yet have not tried them. The peroshkies, stuffed meat pastry, are delicious. I like the egg and mushroom although their meat ones are also tasty. I drive way out of my way to go here, combining the visit with Odessa Grocery. If you find better bread in LA, let me know. read more

Got the chocolate mousse....Wayyy below average taste and quality. Tastes like pastries you would buy from the overnight freezers at Ralph's! Opt for one of the French bakeries instead! read more

Got one of their "tiramisu's" at the Farmer's Market location. Won't be doing that again. $3.50 for zero flavor. read more

I've used this bakery a couple of times when my husband craved something sweet from home (Russia). I went there this evening to see about getting a couple choices for my husband's birthday cake. The Woman was very helpful. I ended up getting a slice of Napollion & Medovik cake. I explained that I was looking to purchase a larger version for a birthday and she said no problem! Their hours are great and I even got a little Russian language lesson as well! ! read more

T & Y Bakery - Yummy! - Bakeries Near Me - West Hollywood, California

The best! Mostly bakery items. Friendly help, not like the old mean Russian women across the street.

That's too pity that they are closed the business (or only temporarily?) But I prefer go to the other store in farmers market. They are more energetic and friendly. But this place isn't my favorite. read more

Amazing selection and variety of tastes, excellent service explaining the ingredients and flavors in each selection, individual servings and whole products available, friendly and thoughtful service especially during COVID-19 time. Great they are available... We know where to shop in the future for a taste of excellence of the old world with new world availability. read more

Excellent customer service, and my churchkhela was tender and flavorful! If you're prepared to gain, like, six pounds in one sitting, this is definitely a good place to visir read more

Terrible experience. Rancid food, stuck-up, disrespectful owner/manager and they don't even speak English. Will NEVER go back and recommend you'd do the same! read more

I go out of my way to travel all the way here from Santa Monica for the rare selection of certain Eastern European foods here. My favorite thing here are the Cheburekki, reminds me of the ones I ate in Ukraine as a child. The stolichny rye bread is also very good, as well as the assortment of desserts. 99% of the people that frequent this store are of Eastern European decent, obvious by the cashiers first words, "slushau" - would recommend if you're looking for something similar to what is described above read more

The bread is amazing. Try any one of their many varieties and you will not be disappointed. They have a Grey Bread (Syerei), which is somewhat of a pumpernickel but lighter in color. It is fantastic and simply divine with Easter European dishes such as borscht or zharkoye (kind of like a paprigash). They also make a mean ciabata bread which doesn't taste like a cabana should, but is absolutely delicious regardless of the fact that it isn't CIABATA. So what who cares? Their pirizhkie-yummmmmm. Their napoleon cake is delicious as well. So what isn't great. The service is so so, but who cares? Anyways come in for a little bit of Soviet ambience (so it's an Oxymoron-who cares?) DELICIOUS DELICIOUS DELICIOUS! read more

It was right before closing and the family hopped into this bakery because everything looked delish. Mom got three different types of napoleons and they were different from the traditional French napoleons. I did not care for the strawberry kind but the chocolate and traditional was great. I did find a long silver hair in my Napoleon made me wanna barf. read more

Unbelievably good pastries! I stopped there on my way home from a cruise, and got a box of assorted goodies to go - should have just emptied my suitcase and then refilled it with their wares. Some favorites: the chocolate-dipped almond cookie (as light as an angel's kiss) and the poppyseed crescent. Thank goodness they put a label on the box with their name and number. Going to call them to see if they ship. If not, I'm moving to L.A. - Lissa in Oregon read more

My girlfriend and I have been coming here regularly since we moved down the street three years ago. Amazing and consistent, sweet staff, delicious goods and great prices. Not sure what else you could ask for, also not sure what's with some of the reviews here. I've had nothing less than excellent every time I come here. I almost don't want to mention it as I feel like it should be a guarded secret, but they have fresh savory baked goods every Sunday morning that are to die for. Don't sleep on the mushroom piroshkis. read more

It's not the best bakery and I wish they would decide what the hell they are . Bakery - vegetable store or deli . It's gone down in quality and it's not very clean . And they are very rude read more

I have loved this place for years! I discovered it when I used to work in the area. Parking is terrible but its worth it to park a block or two away and walk. I don't frequent as much because I live far away now, but I have no problem on occasion to take a long drive down there and buy a bunch of goodies to last me awhile. The first thing you see when you walk into the door are fabulous baked breads of all types that line the pantry. These are authentic and fresh breads. It's like traveling to Eastern Europe without the hassle from TSA or long airport layovers. lol The desserts are wonderfully good too. Not too sweet or over processed but not heavy like those fancy health food recipes where everything tastes like a granola bar. These people work hard, the place is clean and they are professional and take their baking seriously. Every visit is worth the trip. read more

Had one of their pastries on one Saturday 5 weeks back and have been going back every week since. Am hooked to the cakes and pastries they have especially the skaska cakes. Moist and delicious and yummy. Love em all. Would definitely recommend this bakery. I am knocking one star out because on one occasion, the pastry was little dry and did not taste so fresh as it usually did. Could have been that one bad day. read more

I have bought an apple turnover and it was fresh and delicious. I 'll never return because of the rude Russian owner who did not bother to acknowledge me when I entered the store. read more

One word: DRY!!! Like a cotton ball in my throat. And the female working at 5pm on Saturday June 7th was nasty also. I was hoping the 3 pieces of cake I bought would make up for it. NOPE! I'm sitting here drinking milk. Go somewhere else. read more

The meat filling of the chebureki reminded me of the turnovers/pastries I ate growing up, so A+ for that blast from the past, but it was so greasy that the pastry got soggy and limp and sad. Which is a collection of adjectives you don't want to see grouped together ever. read more

I lived in Russia for two years after college and few things get me as excited as authentic cabbage pirozhki. This place on Santa Monica serves up excellent pirozhki of all varieties, plus poppyseed buns that remind me of my favorites back in Russia. They speak Russian and English here, have a wide selection of loaf breads, sweets and pastries. Plus there's very little of the trademark Russian rudeness that you'd find in most bakeries in Russia. This place is a great find for anyone who knows about the amazing deliciousness of Russian baked goods! read more
