Walking into this establishment is a baklava lover's dream! The smell transports you to sweet filo dough heaven. We ordered the Assorted Baklava Large Tray 3 and everything was absolutely delicious. Nora, who helped me with my order was as sweet as the pastries they sell. highly recommended read more

The Baklava Factory is a place that someone has recommended to me a long time ago now, but I don't get to Glendale to often. Finally a reason came up that we had to pick something up in Glendale near the galleria and everything in Glendale is usually within five minutes from each other, so finally Baklava Factory, here I come. Did I mention that baklava is one of my all time favorite dessert pastry. Upon entering through the doors and I saw sheet pans of a variety of freshly made baklavas, my mouth was literally watering. 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. read more

Large quantities of sweets are dangerous in my house, so I opted for 2 very small pieces of baklava with pistachio and a baggie with 2 cheese boreka in it. Both were delicious, and I'm inclined to say the borek was even better than the baklava! Service was nice; be aware that there is a a debit card surcharge. No biggie, and I had cash for once, so it wasn't an issue either way. It's right next to Zankou, so it makes for a great little dessert. The baklava they sell in Zankou might be from here, too. read more

Stopped by during a visit to Glendale. We bought a sampler of our choosing: pistachio fingers, cashew fingers, baklava, etc. Everything was fresh, delicious and not too sweet. Will have to try Ashta ice cream next time! Friendly service from the woman behind the counter. Free parking on the lot. read more

If you like baklava, you will love the Baklava Factory. Very fresh baklava, lots of choices - all are delicious. A must-visit every time I'm in LA. Nice people at the counter and you can have a coffee and treat right there if you can't wait to try some baklava. I wish it was in SF because it's a long drive down here! read more

My friend and I stopped here by accident while in Glendale. This place was hands-down the best baklava I've ever had in my entire life. I definitely recommend ordering a sample platter with different varieties. Everything is made fresh and the owner is a super sweet lady. read more

Simply amazing.. Fix my cravings for pistachio baklava. So many options to choose from and are made fresh. Quick service and clean place. Would surely visit often! read more

They have so many different styles and flavors. Best Baklavas west of the Mississippi. The only problem is that I can't stop eating them.

Had a lot of options but they looked like they were mass produced. Most of the items were packaged already. Brought a few pieces home and the hubby said it was average. I wouldn't go back.. read more

Typical mom and pop shop, that luckily wasn't crowded when I got there. It was a lot to take in. I created my own box of baklava and the owner was very patient with me as I explained it was my first time and asked her questions about each item. There were dozens of them! They charge by weight so make sure you get what you like or think you'd like. No samplings given, which would help at some point down the road. However; there wasn't one I totally hated. read more

Great product, friendly people and great customer service. Our go to Baklava place. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Baklava, like a lot of baked goods can have very different flavors. In the Arminian communities some prefer a stronger sent of flowers than others. Rose water is one of the most common but the strength of the sent can very greatly. I think this bakery has a very good balance and lists of choices as to styles and shapes. Also, different nuts choices as well. I was very pleased each time I purchased from this bakery. read more

They have more than baklava here. There were some locum/ Turkish delights, and pastries/baked goods. The lady behind the counter was nice and friendly. They have some tables inside and outside but it's more of a grab and go kind of place. read more

I've been going here for a very long time and the baklava is now $18 a pound. It is still my favorite place to get baklava. This is also a great location because there's a Zankou Chicken in the same complex. read more

All so delicious!! So very helpful and very patient. Super friendly and great prices. They can make you gift boxes or sale individually. We wanted to try anything that was recommended. We loved it all and shared with our family. Now we know where to go for Baklava!! Recommend I was too exited, that forgot to take pics of menu! Next time! read more

This place is both a wonderful and dangerous surprise all at once. They have the best baklava ever! And they have so many many kind to choose from. The staff there are very sweet, kind, and attentive. I am glad this place is not closer to my house because I would be going there all the time. If you're looking to get some baklava for dessert or a for dinner you are going to at someone's home, this place rocks! read more

Went in with my friend, then a guy came in and then a lady. The guy and the lady got helped and not us. The lady that worked there was an older woman, that didn't look at us or acknowledge us. We've never been discriminate like this before and it doesn't feel nice. We went in at 8:45pm on 2/22/26. Please don't treat anyone else like that again. I think it was that we were not Armenian and maybe the lady didn't know English, but even though no one should be treated like that period. We will never return again! read more

Very sweet place, literally. My fave and go to is the chocolate baklava, it's perfectly sweet and nutty. Highly recommend if you like baklava. Service is always friendly. read more

Way overpriced for low quality sweet . I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone . They use a lot of sugar to make the sweet heavy on the scale read more

Baklava Factory is like Heaven or Paradise if you're a big Baklava fan like me. Many different types and flavors where you can buy pre-packed or pick and choose your own and buy by the pound. I'm more of a fan to the traditional Baklava of pistachios, honey, and layers of flaky filo pastry. For you adventurous types, they have chocolate, walnuts, rose hip, etc.... Tight spaces in the parking lot while the factory, more like a bakery, will get busy near Easter and Christmas. read more

My family and I are big fans of Baklava and this bakery was conveniently across the street from where we were getting gas ! So many different types of Baklava to choose from ! They price you by weight, so we were able to get 7 huge pieces all for $9.00. They have espresso and array of unique types of cookies / treats as well. Really neat spot ! read more

Baklava Factory is my favorite place to go for fresh Baklava! My family has been coming here for years and it's safe to say we haven't outgrown them yet! When we shop for our family we get a few lbs of assorted baklava but sometimes when I'm in the area I come in for a few pieces. My go to is the square pistachio baklava! It's so delicious and full of honey! I love it. The shop itself is spacious enough to accommodate all of their loyal customers. The workers are very attentive and kind! If you ask nicely they're usually okay with sampling. This place is a must try! You won't be disappointed. read more

Baklava Factory - Pistachio - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale, California

I'm not a big fan of baklava but I was in the area after lunch and was ready for a sweet treat. There's quite a variety of baklava (as the name suggests). It was a lot of fun perusing through each variety. Most had basic ingredients listed on the name card but there were some without descriptions or what they contained. When asking one of the women about one without a description, she basically said they're all the same with different shapes! Haha, well fair enough. Just picked a handful in a box and was on my way. Yes, they are still sweet. But their baklava was a bit less sweet and had a subtle aroma of rose, cinnamon and other spices that came through well. I have to say it's probably my first time enjoying baklava! The store also had other items like ice cream and a variety of Turkish delights. They all looked so pretty and the Turkish delights (displayed separately) in gift box sets resembled modern Korean artisan rice cakes sets that were aesthetically presented and packaged. read more

This is a place you go out of your way for. It's a place you plan your life around. It's sooo authentic and NOT mass produced. The review below referencing to the products being prepackaged-- doesn't know the difference between a merchants product and a cross market product. The merchants products are FRESH and made throughout the day to maintain overall freshness. Made with love like your Grandma's cookies. Each dish contains very distinct, potent, and bold flavors/ingredients/textures that will leave you drooling. If it weren't for health, I would only survive on this food. Hell I had a year where I came here almost everyday. If this place ever goes out of business, I don't know what I would do with my cravings....I'll probably hop on the next flight to Armenia and get baklava out there. read more

I found this spot just in time to bring dessert to a New Year's Eve party. I'm so happy to have found a place that has so many baklava options! Lena helped us and was so sweet, great customer service!! read more

Best baklava around! My husband and I often go to Glendale to visit the Americana. One day I was craving baklava and found this place on Yelp. There are so MANY options, all made fresh daily. From cashews, to pistachio, to pecans, there's surely something for everyone. I couldn't choose so went for the variety box. The right amount of sweet and flavor. Highly recommend! read more

I've had this bakery saved on my places to go for awhile now and finally got the chance to get some yummy treats here! I went on a Wednesday afternoon and it was not busy at all. Parking area is limited so be mindful of that. The staff here were so helpful. I asked for their recommendations and everything I got was delicious. You can purchase by weight and my treats cost about $20. They also offer some prepackaged treats already if you want that option. They also sell ice cream which I'll need to try the next time I visit. Here's what I got - Walnut baklava Fingers baklava with cashew Kataifi pistachio Marble baklava pistachio Mini rose baklava Sare burma walnut These were all sweet and sugary! Highly recommended. read more

The most delicious Baklavah I've had in a really long time. It is my go to when I asked to bring dessert for any gathering.

I was visiting some friends in LA and my SIL told me that if I didn't stop by the Baklava Factory to get her some treats, she wouldn't allow me to come home. That's hilarious to me because she's Azerbijani and whenever she comes here, the Armenians treat her like garbage, but even she has to admit the baklava here is legit. My favorite is the nut-free one, the regular one, and the chocolate one and I always fill a small tray. The parking here is touch and go, but you can usually find one spot, so grab it when you see it. There are no tables here, so everything is to go, which is just fine since these people aren't here to entertain you. Just take your baklava and go, lol. read more

We arrived one Saturday evening to grab a dessert. The Baklava choices were vast and the nice knowledgeable lady behind the counter so pleasant. We bought a variety of different baklava for a dinner and then a few for tonight. The ones we bought were so fresh. We bought one filed with pistachios and another filled with cashews. Both were light, crispy, earthy and delicious. If you are craving baklava this is a good place to go! read more

Not the best dubai chocolate, but the prices were decent. $12 for the larger bar and $6 for the smaller bar. The filling was not creamy and the knafeh was not crunchy at all like others I've tried. It does have the pistachio taste though. Glad I tried it, but wouldn't buy it again. I'd rather save my money and pay the $30+ at other places. read more

I love baklava but it's hard to find really good ones in the South Bay unless you go to a restaurant and pay $5+ for a dinky little piece that leaves your craving unfulfilled. This is when it's time to make that lengthy excursion to Glendale and stop by the glorious Baklava Factory. It's like the Willy Wonka factory for baklava lovers. The medium tray that I used to purchase has unfortunately gone up in price to $42 so I had to rein in my overwhelming desire and settle for a smaller tray, much to my dismay. I ordered 1/2 a pound of the baklava squares drizzled with chocolate and another 1/2 pound of the traditional smaller squares. Even this quantity cost $19. Who'd have thought the most effective weight loss program would be the result of inflation? At least I had acquired my stash even though soon, it would dwindle even more as my hungry spawn would attack my newly purchased treasure. Alas, this is one of the drawbacks of having children. Hungry children. I will savor what I am able to salvage from their relentless attacks. Oh, by the way. The baklava was good. Really, really good. read more

Great baklavas. Over a dozen variety of baklavas to choose from to include "sugarfree" options. Customers can purchase an individual piece of baklava or by the pound. About $13 per pound or so. Baklava Factory has three locations: Glendale, North Hollywood, and Encino. The Encino store is where everything is made daily then delivered to their two other locations. Service at this Glendale store is friendly. Parking can be a challenge. read more

I have been craving some baklava lately... not really sure why because I've never been too fond of baklava due to its extreme sweetness. However, I recently tasted some really good ones that are not too sweet. With that said, I was on my way to seek out a place that primarily makes baklava LOL. Baklava Factory was found! It has 3 locations; Glendale, Encino, and North Hollywood. Glendale is closest to me so here I am. Very cute shop with a good variety of baklava to choose from. It also has other pastries, cakes, cookies, ice cream, etc. Staff was friendly and kind to answer my questions. Thank you staff! I knew exactly the 3 types of baklava I wanted to buy... birdsnest walnut, birdsnest pistachio, and kataifi rolls with almonds (these 3 are delicious and not heavily sweet!). I got 12 of each. For the rest of the tray, per recommendation from the staff (thank you!), I also got 10 fingers with cashew and 10 sari-burma walnut (these are tasty, too! thanks staff for the sample!). All the baklava filled the tray nicely... it was a perfect fit. They charge $16 per lb of baklava or you may buy them by the pieces. If you're going to get more than a handful, I would recommend you buy by the lb for better value. It was about 5+ lbs which came out to be $87. I ended up paying a few more dollars because I didn't have cash on me so I had to fork out 3.99% more for the credit/debit card service charge. Yes, you read right, 3.99% more! It's all good... I wanted to leave the shop with my baklava LOL. Now if you don't want to pay extra for credit/debit card service charge, do bring CASH! The tray was packaged beautifully. I was very pleased. You don't necessarily need to call ahead to pre-order... just show up and choose your baklava. However, if you have a huge order, then I would recommend you call ahead to pre-order. They also have baklava that are already pre-packed for purchase. I prefer to choose my own since I know what I like. I haven't opened the tray of baklava yet. I intend to bring it to work and share with my team members. Oh, by the way, leave the baklava out in room temperature and it should be good for about 10 days or so, but no more than 2 weeks though (that's what I was informed). DO NOT refrigerate it! You want the crispy flakes to remain fresh and crispy. Otherwise, it may get soft and soggy. Happy Baklava'ing! read more

Finally finally finally I find a place that makes baklava correctly! I have been looking for this place all my life. The only person who has ever made good baklava is my own mum. Now, I have a place to go to. Really reasonable prices. My favourite is the pistachio baklava. BUT! Chew carefully as there was a bit of pistachio shell in mine. I'll be extra careful from now on. Parking is a bit limited, especially because it's next to a very busy Zankou Chicken. read more

I absolutely love Baklava and during the holidays I wasn't sure what I would get as gifts, so my husband and I decided we wanted to grab some goodies from here. I have never had the baklavas from Baklava Factory, so I had to decide by trusting YELP reviews. I had called in a few times before I decided if I should order and have it mailed or just drive out. The lady that helped me was super friendly and very informative which is what made me make an easy decision to go ahead and buy sweets here. My husband and I decided to just drive down there and it was about a 2hr drive. When we got there they were just opening. There was only 1 person at the shop. I don't know the different names of each one of the sweets, but I do know they are made similar with different types of nuts. I was not sure what to choose from so I did a variety and she put them together for me. There are different gift box sizes and different prices if you decide to have it gift wrapped. I ended up getting it the way it is without the gift wrap and the prices were very decent and affordable. They actually give a good amount of goodies for the price. I would definitely do it again. Just be aware that it is very addicting and you may want to share so you don't overindulge. Parking was a bit confusing for us. We aren't from here, so we drove into the apartment/hotel/motel next door by mistake and we had to go back around. I really want to try other things here, but it's overwhelming because you see all the goodies and you really don't know where to start or what to choose. This is a great gift idea for any occasion. It's simple and delicious. read more
