If you're looking for Persian sweets, then Laleh is the place to go. They have top quality and their service is impeccable. Very kind, efficient and quick. It can be a busy place from time to time but overall you will be in and out in a jiffy. They have everything from individual small desserts that you can combine into a box to bring to a gathering or even just choose small items for. They also make custom cakes, which is what I opted for. the cream was perfectly light and fragrant with rosewater. The cake was airy and fluffy at the same time. They can even make cakes extremely extravagant as long as you order well ahead of time. Great place for your sweet tooth. read more

The seller is very rude. She even doesn't know what they have in their store and answer the questions in a bad way. ‌. . . ( ). . ‌. read more

So happy they are open again next to Indian Fusion, across London Drugs! Almond cookies, walnut cookies are awesome!

come from Maple Ridge and before I moved, I used to shop here all the time, but today, because the box I chose and only Danish pastries weighed more than what I asked for, the seller treated me very badly and said that I was out of the box. I will not reduce it, and when I told him that this is far from customer-oriented and you treat me very nervously, so I stopped buying the rest, he said that Iranians think that the seller should kiss their feet too. I was very nervous and upset with his attitude and I will never buy from this bakery again. read more

Great baked treats! Good value too. Recommend people stop by when in town for anything from cakes and eclairs to honey treats and baklava

* Short and sweet * This little bakery tucked away on a side street in North Vancouver makes for a perfect milestone review (#900). They have a beautiful selection of both Persian and European sweets, as well as a selection of dried fruits and nuts. Apparently they also make wedding cakes. I got a small treasure box (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/bkmlD8TOtFtQCII82hLVWw?select=oaj7txABt-gI3D42A-NrKg) with a variety of unnamed Persian sweets. While they were all somewhat similar they each had a slightly distinct taste. Some had strong hints of coconut, while others had distinct rosewater flavour, some honey in another, and there was a pleasant pistachio overtone in most. I really enjoyed them!

They have a few tables to sit and enjoy your sweets as well, but my visit was short and sweet! read more

If you're meandering down Lonsdale with a little sweet tooth, mosy on down to 15th & Lonsdale to Laleh for a huge selection of mini baked goods. Each piece is about 35 cents! Catering to little Persia, the lady baker doesn't speak English, just Farsi. I asked for recommendations as nothing was labeled and she was confused. So I handed her $4 and said, "fill the little bag with anything!" She gave me 12-15 treats and I was on my way. The photo I labeled "Yummy" was my fav from my goodie bag :) read more

When 2 of your Persian clients recommend this, you know it's the spot ;) Actually, I didn't like the look of their baklava's, the ones in DT are a bigger square, laced with more honey and sprinkles of pistachios...their's are like bite-size. nonetheless, I went with a similar, with more layers of softness of flakes, and whipped cream inside. Incredible. the cherry coconut tart also good too, not as good. And I'll pass on their chocolate puff cookies, dry and not much taste to it. Very busy. Friendly service, one lady gave out free samples. read more

Laleh Bakery - incredible!!! - Bakeries Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

How I heard of this place: After a glorious lunch at Cazba, we walked around the corner to Laleh Bakery, where the smell of fresh-baked pastries wafted through the air. Type of cuisine: A Persian bakery which offers traditional cookies, cakes, pastries, nuts and seeds in bulk, including other Persian/Iranian goods. The Foodosophy website offers a perfect depiction of these Persian delicacies: "North Vancouver's Laleh Bakery specializes in Persian cookies that you serve to accompany traditional afternoon tea. These melt-in-your-mouth treats pair well with tea drinking. They come in a variety of textures that complement the ritual - often slightly dry, flakey, and grainy - with crunchy punctuation provided by walnuts, or pistachios. Some are sticky sweet, or are covered in powdered sugar. Butter and semolina lend their richness, and the subtle flavour of cardamon or rosewater permeate many of these confections. Date and fig jams are used as spreads sandwiched between cookie rounds or as fillings. Preserves such as apricot, or berry jam serve to fill thumbprint indentations." Ambiance: A simple bakery with wedding cakes in the storefront window, limited seating for those wishing to partake of afternoon tea and a sweet treat right there, but the space mostly caters to take-away boxes of goodies that delight the eyes upon entry. The bright red walls and limited kitsch ornamentation hardly attract the guffaw and attention Laleh may be intending; to their benefit, the trays upon trays in colorful rows making up the display that begins at the door and extends to the kitchen easily distract and attract each customer. What I ordered: We started with a small box and two each of my usual favorite: the Napoleon, Chocolate Dipped Cream Puffs and Chocolate Dipped Cream Filled Almond Cookies. Our hosts added the custard-filled fried dough Piroshki to our mix in order that we might enjoy it over tea back at their home. What I loved: Everything was perfectly sweet, without causing an influx in our sugar intake. Accompanied with a hot glass of (unsweetened) Persian tea, it was the perfect combination for our afternoon snack. I especially enjoyed the Cream Puffs airy consistency and dark chocolate covering, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the light, melt-in-your-mouth goodness of the almond cookie. Why I loved it: Unpretentious and warm bakery with sweets for every craving, every age and everybody. Cost: "These treats are surprisingly inexpensive - ranging from around $6 to $15 for a mix and match box. If this is your first time here, get the small box and fill it with a variety. You will quickly find your favourites." read more

Try their mille feuille - layers of puff pastry layered with fresh cream. I would eat one every day if I could. All of the pastries here are really well done. It's my favourite Persian bakery. read more

It's sooooooooooo gooooood you have to try it. it's exactly like how it tastes in iran i really love this place ive just been there for the first time and it is definutely a great place to go back to. ignore all the bad reviews. This place sells the best Persian pastries. They are really experienced and professional. read more

The quality of sweets was meh maybe because they were not fresh and the tea was brewed long time back.

Aweful customer service! A small request of changing the box resulted in the lady acting extremely rude as if I was wasting their time with my business. Also, greeting customers doesn't mean anything to them. read more

Hands down the best bakery on the north shore!!!! Take it from a Persian who has high standards for sweets. Laleh has been my family's go to for 15+ years and the quality is always consistently amazing. Their Rollet cakes are what we bring to every Persian get-together, and I've even brought some for my team at work, who all beg me to bring more into the office! The rest of the sweets are so yummy, I particularly love the Napoleans & the little muffins. Service is great for when you want to go in and out of a bakery/just get your food. The staff is not even close to rude, they're just non-challent. Keep in mind it's a bakery not a sit-in restaurant so I don't understand everyone's super high expectations. Also, I read a comment that another lady apparently "bugged" in front of someone else....they have phone orders, so yes the person behind you might actually have placed their order first! If you want to order their cakes, I highly recommend placing a phone order since this ensures it will be fresh & ready for when you pick it up :) read more

I love this place. They make delicious baked goods that are simple, full of flavour and not too sweet. I've been there twice and everything so far has been really good. My favourite is the small honey bites.. they explode with pure honey goodness :) read more

Very poor customer service. 2 ladies who work there do not know anything about customer service. no greeting, no smiling, nothing. Their pastries are too sweet to be enjoyed. read more

A definite visit every time we're up from Seattle. Hands down, best Persian pastry north of SF. If you're expecting to become bffs with the counter ladies don't go there, but that's not the reason to go to a pastry shop anyways. read more

I have tried many different kinds of goodies from this place and never been disappointed. This is my to-go place when I need a cake, some Persian/French pastries or a roulette for my party. My absolute favourite is their mocha cake which is layers of yellow sponge cake with heavenly light coffee/cocoa flavoured whipped cream. read more

Their baked goods are amazing, every time we are in North Van we make a special visit to go. The bakery isn't much to look at but the sweets are fantastic! read more

Awful service I don't like. Although the Snapple drink they sold in the cooler was delightful

I researched bakery's on line as I am based in England and wanted to find a special Easter cake for my great Aunty who is 93 years old and based in North Vancouver without any friends or family to care for her locally. I came across Laleh's Bakery and decided to order from them as a result of their great reviews. And I wasn't not disappointed! My aunty sent me the photos with a beautiful description of the cake, quoting 'The cake was just super and the chocolate creamy just perfect'. I would personally like to thank Mr Sayed (hopefully I have the spelling correct) for all his help and assistance, he couldn't have been more accommodating. I would recommend this bakery to anyone and everyone! What a find - Thank-you!! read more

Went into the bakery this evening and had the worst customer service. I walked in and saw a couple ahead of me ordering pastries so I patiently wait, was also on the phone so kinda hard not to notice me, and there was no one behind me. As the couple finishes their payment, a lady walks in and stands behind me. I'm next in line, in front of the til, she starts talking to the lady behind me, trying to take her order. I said I was next, and she proceeds to tell me no, I was not. She then asks the lady behind me who came in first, and she said me. I get 3 pastries, she weighs it, tells me I need to buy more because its not $5 worth. I did NOT see a sign that states that, not even a handwritten note taped to the debit machine. Whatever, I put in another cookie, still only $4.84, but then she said it was okay, it was near enough. Whatever, I use my debit card, as soon as I see APPROVED, I take my card and turn to the door. She then calls to me over the counter and other lady, "Can you not leave the machine until it says approved?" As I'm saying this, the receipt is printing, and it still says APPROVED on the screen. All I wanted were some cookies and I got a mouthful. read more

Unfortunately, they have very poor customer service. I found the female clerk's behavior rude. There are other places for Sangak bread with much better quality and nicer attitudes. read more

The women working there are on the rude side and seem to not want to be there. The quality of the sweets and desserts is good but the price is out of the world and you have no idea how much you will be paying because they don't show the prices anywhere. read more
