    This bakery has a wide variety of Middle Eastern pastries, cookies, and cakes available. Everything seems fresh, and the prices are reasonable. Parking is available right outside the store. The employee was very friendly and helpful. There are some seats available in this very casual setting.

    Great selection of pastries. We ordered a variety to try. Love the pistachio almond tart and the coconut cookie. The tart was soft in crust topped with healthy nuts with just a small light touch of caramel filling - which is great for those who are health conscious and trying to stay away from the typical rich and very sweet filling. Haven't have a chance to try out the rest yet.

    Just an amazing first experience at Haleh under the new ownership!! I really enjoyed the individualized attention, a warm welcome by the female owner, and the beautiful authentic Persian setting. The cookies and pastries are authentic and taste great. We also had the sausage sand inch as well as the Persian herb and feta platter. Wish the Persian platter was a bit larger like many other restaurants. Other than that, it is the perfect place to hang out, dine with friends and have a relaxing and enjoyable time. I can see their outdoor seating becoming packed during warmer spring/summer days!

    They don't follow through with what they say. A few examples: 1) Hours of operation: many, many, many randomly closed days without a day notice to costumers due to workers randomly not showing up for work. 2) Food on menus are not available weeks at a time. They keep saying food will be served on weekends. But the past 3 weekends kept saying "sorry not today, next weekend" and when next weekend comes, again the same thing "sorry not today, next weekend". This makes me wonder if they are OKAY with lying to costumers. For sure they are OKAY with not sticking to their word. They need to keep in mind that business here IS NOT like the middle east where you say something and not follow through! Especially with TIME. Every minute counts in the united states. They need to stop falsely promising to costumers. Only 1 thing that I found good here was that they always make sure to serve you fresh food, beverages, or pastries. That is why I think they do deserve a star out of 5

    Delicious! I definitely will be back! I came here for the first time as I needed some treats for a friend's gathering and I knew I wanted to bring Persian baked goods and found their business on Yelp. They're not too far from where I live so that's also a plus. When I walked in I was greeted by a young man who was very friendly. I bought an assortment of cookies and will definitely want to come back to try their other item plus breakfast. They have a small parking lot so it may be easier to park on the side street, just a note. I will definitely be back to buy more delicious baked goods!

    Stale pastries ! Paid $19.12 for two pieces of cake today 1/31/26 and both taste absolutely old, dry and stale ! Both chocolate cake and napoleon. This is just wrong ! What kind of self respecting pastry and cafe would sell something like this ??

    Very cute Persian cafe vibes, such a hidden gem. When you see a bunch of elderly Persian uncles and aunties having tea in the back of the cafe you know it's gonna be authentic. I've been here a couple times since the pandemic and it's always a delight

    Very peaceful outdoor space with plenty of shade and breeze! Tea is available by the pot for a reasonable price, and there's lots of seating. The saffron and rose tea was perfectly brewed.

    Keep your eyes open y'all!! Located offa Kennedy Ave + S. Winchester Blvd, this little cafe can easily get overlooked. TY to my coworker for throwing out the idea of Haleh Pastry and Cafe. We were all in need of a celebratory cake and wanted to do something different as opposed to the typical cakes you'd find just about anywhere. Be advised, if you're thinking this is just a little bakeshop offering sweets, you'd be just as surprised as I was to find out that the establishment offers an entire menu of brunch items, sandwiches, and coffee. This review is strictly related to the pasty and cakes department and man, do they have some amazing pastries!! Not only are they beautiful, they are delicious!! A coworker and I stopped by to see what Haleh had to offer and check out their cake assortments. We were immediately greeted by the lady whom I assume is the owner. She let us know that placing orders a few days in advance for a cake would be more than enough time. The lady continues to inform us that the cookies and bite sized pastries are sold by weight. We continue to chat about cake flavors, designs, and costs. Eventually, we decide on a rolette cake in a pistachio strawberry flavor [quote of cost provided]. The order of the cake was made via phone a few days later and the owner gave the okay to pay at the time of pick up. The day of pick up arrives but the cost of the purchase was more than quoted. Just a forewarning that cakes [or maybe just this kind] are also sold according to weight which increased the pricing. Definitely a miscommunication, nor was that listed on their cakes menu. Sweets: The cookies and pastries here are amazing from what I have tried. The Napoleon was light and sweetness was very balanced. The walnut pistachio tart was memorably delicious. The cake was beautiful when it came down to presentation. The baker went above with the use of fresh flowers that left our office in awe. The flavoring is where there was some disappointment- beyond the sprinkling of pistachios and the cake being decorated with slices of strawberries, there was no actual taste of these two ingredients in the cake itself. The filling was a whipped, light cream which wasn't overly sweet but would have been nice to have even the thinnest layer of strawberry or pistachio. 3 stars for the entire experience and and added star because the bite sized pastries are truly that good. The rolette cake tasted better when it gets to room temp- you're welcome in advanced! Rolette Cake

Also, she was so accommodating by making this cake on a Thursday when her availability is strictly weekends. However, if I knew that asking for an accommodation would mean my needs wouldn't have been met I would have looked elsewhere. I ordered a 7 inch buttercream cake but instead received fondant which went uneaten. I went back to review the invoice she sent and I realized there was a portion that said fondant but it also said buttercream so I just ignored it because I had no problems with the previous cakes I had received. This cake was for my friends son so I was so sad when they complained about the toughness of the fondant. I should have contacted her prior to make sure it would be buttercream but I believe she also could have let me know she would have been diverging from what I requested. Especially because $220 isnt cheap :(. The inside of the cake was great!

The sizing descriptions on the order form didn't reflect what was delivered, and it didn't match the scale shown in the reference image I shared, nor did she let me know that it wouldn't look the same. The cake itself lacked many details of the reference cake and it was also delivered late, making me believe that she spent extra time on final touches. To my surprise, the cake was very far off from what I had asked for. I tried reaching out to provide feedback but I didn't receive a response.

    Update Review: First things first, I'd like to clarify that…read morethe cake and filling was indeed what I ordered. Secondly, I have to give credit where it's due- Sweets By Design totally came through when it came to taste and wow factor (minus the drip design)!! Cake was fantastic [MOIST & DELICIOUS] and I was surprised by my in-laws approval as well. No joke, they are harsh critics when it comes to desserts and to see them enjoy every bite was definitely a SLAM DUNK. I legit couldn't cut the cake fast enough!! On a side note, thank you Nicole for immediately reaching out to me regarding my disappointment. She handled the situation in a prompt and professional manner. I appreciated her genuineness and heartfelt concern about my issues. 3 stars overall but one additional star for Nicole's customer service. She truly cares about her clients. Business is booming for SBD for obvious reasons and my only warning would be the glitch in communication. Be aware that you may need to reach out and send a few reminder pokes. ---------------------------------------------------- I really wanted to like this small business, I really had high hopes. Unfortunately Sweets By Design is an absolute bust!! After a not so good first impression with SBD during my baby shower planning, I still wanted to give Nicole and her business a try. Since we were never really able to celebrate the birth of my daughter the way we wanted, my husband and I wanted to make her 6 month [[half]] bday a little bit sweeter. I decided to reach out and see if Nicole could help me with our cake. To start off, the issues with communication was just as bad as the 1st time around. I reached out to the business via Instagram on 9/26 and got a response back quickly. I informed the cake's pick up date and sent over 3 designs that I was potentially looking at. I ended up settling with the pastel, drip, macaron, & sprinkles design [see attached photo]. A quote was promised the following day [9/27] and NOTHING WAS RECEIVED. Nicole did reach out 2 days later with the pricing and I was ready to place my order and get the ball rolling. NO RESPONSE. I dm again asking for a cake flavor listing so I can finalize the order and process whatever cost that is needed. AGAIN, CRICKETS! I am forced to reach out yet again on 9/30 asking if she was going to be able to make the cake adding that important details and payment had not yet been able to be finalized. At that point I finally get a response. The entire process of working with this baker is just more stressful than it should. An email was sent to confirm cake info and the filling listed was incorrect. Then 2 days prior to pick up, I have to message Nicole again about an address as to where I need to pick up my order. She then sends another revised email. Cake- My husband was left with the job of picking up the cake since I have an infant to attend to. He comes home with a cake that is nice BUT NOT WHAT I ORDERED. The drip design was nowhere to be found. At this point, I question whether or not the cake & the filling is even correct. I am super let down by what was delivered, even after all the detailed discussion with Nicole. I have dm'd her through IG & sent her texts regarding my disappointment so we'll see how that goes. I'll update my review if/when I hear back from someone regarding this matter.

My virtual baby shower was boba themed so my friend sent a picture of one of the graphics my sister made for me for the baby shower as inspiration for the boba cake. The cake (picture attached) looked just like the graphic and was perfect! I liked that she used an actual boba straw for the top and that it was very detailed and cute. Everyone who was able to see it online thought it was a perfect boba cake. For flavorings, my friend and husband chose the lemon with raspberry (I think) filling. It was one of the hottest days in the Silicon Valley (over 100 degrees) but the cake kept fine in the car and sitting out. The cake itself was moist, not too sweet and had the right amount of lemon flavoring. The raspberry part was also very good. Overall, no complaints about the texture or flavor of the cake. I'm not the hugest fan of fondant so I'm not the best judge but the overall icing was fine as well. Overall, very impressed with the style, design and execution of the cake. The flavor was also good!
