Inside
Samantha C.

This is a cute and small pastry place. Even though it's small, there's still a few tables inside to eat your desserts! They are a bit pricey but they are delicious and look cute. They weigh the pastries and charge per weight I believe. The employees are very kind and the parking is easy to navigate as it is in a plaza. Would go back to get a handful more as a little treat.

A little bit of almost everything they sell as a sampler

We found this great little Lebanese pastry spot while waiting for some brunch reservations. It's pretty straight to the point, they have everything available on display and you pick what you want and take it to go. There's no real ambiance to the place outside of a cute little pastry shop (I didn't see any seating inside or outside). It's a little pricey ($16 per pound), but it's really fresh and not loaded with sugar, which is something we all loved! The baklava and the walnut dessert were our favorites, but we weren't huge fans of either of the cheese based desserts. The service was quick and we were in and out in less than 5 minutes. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Overall: 4/5

"Pistachio Mafroukeh" & Mafroukeh
Tina A.

I am delighted that someone beat me to it and posted a review about this fabulous Middle Eastern Patisserie. We visited this store 2 weeks ago and I have been trying to find the time to write a glowing review because they deserve it. We always stop by the Hallab Pastry stores in Lebanon & we were thrilled when friends told us they had opened a store in Anaheim! Their Lebanese sweets are top notch! The first thing I want to mention is that if you enter the store address in your navigator and you are having a hard time finding this store - please KEEP LOOKING! It is there, but it is hard to find! It is tucked in the RIGHT corner behind the Little Arabia Restaurant that has a big tent up and almost hides the Hallab store front. (Picture attached). Had a friend of ours not told us that it was definitely in that plaza I would have thought it did not exist. Once inside you will find a beautiful, elegant patisserie with decor that is so reminiscent of the Middle East, you may forget for a minute that you are in still in LA! The gentleman serving us was very polite & welcoming & with true Middle Eastern hospitality gave us some treats to taste. We of course bought much more than we should have, but no regrets here as everything was outstanding. The Pistachio Mafrouke is truly delicious, as is the "regular" "Mafrouke". Knafe is of course a Middle Eastern dessert that cannot be missed, so we tried both the "Knafe bi Asthma" (Knafe with Cream Filling) & the traditional "Knafe with the cheesy filling". With the rose water & orange blossom scented syrup drizzled on top of these treats, you will think you are in heaven. Make your way to Hallab - you will not regret it!!! It is by far the best Middle Eastern Patisserie we have found in the USA!

I had more items than pictured & they were the best I've had. I've tried many other middle eastern bakeries & this 1 is the best. I can't find the pistachio cream thing anywhere else in southern California. Too bad I live far from here. I'll buy more when I return.

$11 for all of these treats

My boyfriend and I had a random craving for some baklava and found this bakery via Yelp. Boy was it well worth it and satisfied every craving we had! I feel like we stumbled on a gem and despite not really having visited any other locations to find these delicious treats I guarantee we will be returning. The bakery is located in a fairly busy shopping center but the place itself is easy to find. Inside the attendant was nice and helpful explaining how everything was sold by weight and in specific container sizes. We ordered the second smallest container and the total came out to $11. The storefront was beautiful, clean, and very tidy. It was not very busy but we were also there on a Tuesday afternoon. I hope this review convinces you to stop by because everything was delicious and you can tell made with love as well as high quality products!

Wonderful pastries! Loved the Bakalava and other desserts. Their kitchen is right next door so I believe all their items are freshly made.

The location of…read morethis well-known Japanese/French bakery was unusual in that it's isolated in a corner of the El Camino Plaza. I had expected the business to be in a more high volume area, however a benefit of their corner spot was that the parking lot had plenty of spaces. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor tables were set up along the north and east perimeters of the building. I was by myself at this latest visit, and it was close to the end of the day so the inventory was quite depleted. There was no line at all which was not a surprise. The famous Strawberry Croissants and prepackaged items were on refrigerated display to the left when you walked in. As the service counter rounded a corner, there were more fresh baked goods on display before you reached a register. Across from the registers were shelves containing bags of fresh bread products. I bought a Strawberry Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Ham and Cheese Croissant, and an Apple Croissant. The quality of the pastry dough was very good, and I could see why the Strawberry Croissant was a favorite with the customers. The croissants were light and flakey, and the powdered sugar added a delicate topping to the strawberry version. If I were to rate on just the Strawberry Croissant, then it would be five stars. My overall rating was downgraded because of the customer traffic flow. The lines can be optimized so that if you wanted to buy a six-pack of the Strawberry Croissants and/or anything prepackaged, then a separate queue should be arranged for those customers. The cafeteria trays were of limited use if you were not getting a large number of items. As you advanced in the queue, other products had to be requested from a worker behind the counter and then those were not placed on the tray. Ultimately, I think they can configure the operation to more efficiently handle the higher volume periods of the day.

They sell by 75 cents each which is good. Parking a little tight but if you go on weekday it's not too bad. The lady who greeted me wasn't too friendly she literally started me down and looked like she just wanted to rush me out. Also guys they take cash only but if card use they charge $1 fee. So she took my order and went next door to charge my card but I didn't know next door was a coffee place guess they link together. Funny thing was she didn't smile and the man who came after me she greeted him with a smile because they are of the same ethnicity. Language wasn't an issue here but to stare at customer like that I'm not coming back there ever again. Even though the cream puffs were so good very soft and not too sweet. I always go by first experience and impression. I will be looking forward other bakery's in Garden Grove.
