Steve S.

Good cafe with a huge selection of pastries and baked goods. They also have a very delicious Hachapuri Adjarski, for the fans of savory. Today though, I took my dad and my kids out for some desserts and everything was very yummy. The spot itself is spacious, with 15 some tables and a small outside seating area. The customer service is always very friendly. Will come back again!

The food is always delicious and fresh, and the service is good. What I like most about this restaurant is that everything is very clean--it's a great place to visit with the family.

Baklava

Popped in for a little dessert and they did not disappoint! The chocolate cake was really rich and a chocolate lovers dream. The strawberry tres leches was very moist. It did take a little bit to get served because the line wasn't very structured but otherwise service was great.

I almost left because I was confused where to order and couldn't get an employee to acknowledge me. That is why there are 4 stars instead of 5. I asked some other people that were waiting since they looked like locals and I'm glad I did because I was waiting in the wrong area to order. I ordered a Caprese sandwich and it was DELICIOUS. It came with a side salad that was also very good. As a bakery they have a TON of options but I was too full to even think of more food but I think I will go back when I find myself in the area.

Customer service needs improvement. I'm not sure if I'll try again or just be a sore thumb and hold a grudge

Cutest cake ever
Emily A.

I have to update my review because I keep coming back for the chicken panini, however I recently tried the bread pudding and omg it is so delicious. They have so many pastries to try here but if you like bread pudding you have got to try the Lilit cafe bread pudding. I get a sweet cheesecake hint at the end of my bite, it's so amazing. Yummmmmmmmmm.

A look at all the different types of baklava they have and some linzer tarts

I have been wanting to try this place for quite a while now and finally came today with my son for a late lunch. I guess my experience initially started over the phone when I spoke with Suzie to confirm their hours. She also mentioned to me that the bakery was open until 8pm today but the kitchen closes at 5. That was helpful information that wasn't listed online. We got there around 4pm and easily found parking in their lot behind the building. There are plenty of spaces and also street/residential parking. Upon entering, there was an immediate vibe shift from the outside world. It was almost dead silent inside, with no music playing and no regular restaurant chatter/noises, either. The place is fairly big/spacious but had an extremely cold atmosphere. Their Christmas tree was still up along with some other decorations, but the lights of the tree weren't even turned on! I feel like the ambience here could've been a lot more festive and welcoming with the lights and some music. The place itself was pretty clean and the bathroom (one gender-neutral unit) was spotless!! Oh, there is also a patio if you choose to sit outside. We were greeted by Alma behind the counter and she was genuinely such a sweet, kind, and helpful person. She knew her job very well and was able to answer any of our questions about their menu. To share, we ordered their famous Ajarski (plain), along with a large vegetarian pizza. My son got himself the Grilled Chicken and Garlic Wrap, however he subbed the tortilla for sliced sourdough and got salad instead of fries. I got the Grilled Chicken Panini that came with Mozzarella Cheese and Pesto, also with salad. The Ajarski and Pizza are baked fresh per order in the pizza oven, so they require a few extra minutes. I believe it took about 15 minutes total. The sandwiches came out sooner than that. Honestly, the food here was just...mediocre. It certainly wasn't awful but it just wasn't amazing by any means. It was kind of BLAND and everything just felt like it was missing something. Both of the grilled chicken sandwiches were pretty dry and the chicken was overcooked. The side salads were decent. The pizza felt noticeably underdone, like it was heated just enough to melt the cheese, but not fully baked. The dough was flimsy and not sturdy nor crispy. For me, the Ajarski was the highlight! Delicious cheese filling baked into a soft, tender dough with two runny eggs baked into it in the center. When you cut into it, the yolks start oozing out and you can use the bread to soak it all up. It was DELICIOUS! I would say the portion sizes were appropriate for everything, however the prices are a bit steep! Our total for these 4 items came out to $71! For dessert, my son and I decided on 7 different pastries to sample. I also wanted to have a latte, but Alma told me they don't serve any decaf coffee whatsoever, so I just stuck with my water. I don't know what this is about - I've been noticing more and more places that are eliminating decaf coffee from their menus. Why? Not all of us do well with caffeine, so it is important to keep it on the menu in order to please everyone. As far as the actual pastries, we got the Cream Puff (incorrectly labeled as Chocolate Eclair), 2 round Peach pastries (filled with buttercream), and one slice each of the following: Tiramisu, Mikado, Honey Cake, and Bird's Milk. They have an EXTENSIVE pastry case full of traditional pastries that we all know and love, and some lesser-known desserts from Armenia, Russia, etc...I grew up on a lot of these sweet treats so it was nice to revisit them after many years. We tried a bite or two of each one and they were all yummy but also a bit overpriced in OUR opinion!! 7 pastries came out to $31. Altogether, already a $102 bill for two people and some leftovers for tomorrow. Hey, we did also get a free Armenian calendar out of it! I'd also like to thank Katherine who was helpful and pleasant, just like Alma. We accidentally misplaced the receipt for the food and she was able to reprint it for me. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but it was missing that WOW factor for me!! It was slightly underwhelming but I might give it another try sometime in the future.

I would never give 2 star even if food is not good enough but the way we got treated made me to have this review hopefully the owners can pay attention .I was taken here by my friend. She said they have amazing food. Decided to give a try'. We ordered ajarakan which was the best that I've tried out of the all other restaurants I've tried . After eating we wanted to order some coffee and cake . I waited 15 more minutes in front of the counter and worker was in front of me going back and forth and answering multiple phone calls , getting several orders. I was patiently waiting untill she would say a word but no. She was still answering a new phone orders ? I had to call a manager. Now there is a great customer service . She blamed on me and said "YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT " really ? Do I have to ? I said I was patiently waiting but she could at least say that she will be back on me soon. But the manager again." You see she is not standing and doing nothing , she is getting orders, you have to be patient." Really? I would say train your manager first so she can train the workers . I would understand if she was in the line . But put the phone away , going back to the kitchen , coming back and answer another 3 calls in front of customer and say we have to? No really?

Chocolate crossiant
Claire M.

I honestly don't even know how this place can exist and be SO delicious and also SO affordable?! We are from the Sacramento area and each of the pastries we had this morning would have been TRIPLE the price of what we paid at Lilit! Our whole family had multiple pastries and coffee for my husband and I for $25?! Everything is beautiful and we will most likely come back tomorrow because there's such a variety of items that we want to try!

"Tres Leches" cake
Katherine M.

I've heard so many good things about lilit so I decided it was about time to try it. My review is solely based on their cake. It was recently my dad's birthday and we wanted to try a new bakery. I stopped by to pick up and chose the tres leches cake. It looked so yummy topped with fresh berries on top. The cake came out to roughly $46. Now if you know anything about tres leches you know it's moist and sweet. Unfortunately this wasn't either! The cake was patchy, some layers were moist others were so DRY! We were very disappointed when we realized it wasn't actually a tres leches cake. It was a let down considering the price, next time I'll stick to my regular bakery for cake. They do have other pastries and a full menu, I may have not liked the cake but there might be yummy items on their menu.

Worm in my Caesar Salad.
Joan G.

I'm completely disgusted. Lilit Bakery obviously does not wash the lettuce before making salads. There were worms crawling in my food. I want my money back. I won't eat here again!

Breakfast boat with egg and cheese
Milton T.

Best bakery in the area amazing egg boats. We ordered the pizza to go. They have an artisan oven they cook all there delicious breads. Great pastries chilled in the fridge. The tres Leches was divine thanks again definetly a must to come here.

Are you open on thanksgiving?

Yes, we are open until 5.

I was wondering how much it costs for a custom cake for about 15-20 people?

How much is the Napoleon cake?

2.95 for the slice

Hi! I love coming to you all, as often as I can. Question though, do you have electrical outlets, for someone wanting to come in, eat, and then get some work done on a laptop?

Hello Katie! Yes we do have outlets all along the wall at our Victory location. You would be able to enjoy your food and pastries along with doing work and have infinite charge!

Are there vegan options?

I have never seen any and I've been here at least 10-12 times.

How big are the pizzas? How many inches?

I always get the personal pizza which is 12". I can eat an entire pizza when I'm starving, but I can be quite happy with eating half a pizza. It depends on how many toppings I smother it with. I'm 6' & is 200lbs

Walked in yesterday mid-evening at 5:30 pm and was greeted by Anna with a pleasant, pretty smile. She was kind, helpful and very nice. This is an Armenian bakery run by a lot of nice, helpful employees. They sell a variety of baked goods and a few savory items. Ponchik, (the closest way to explain this food is a donut). Filled with custard, nutella, and I believe other flavors too. They have Lahmajune, (Armenian pizza), Perashki, (a long dough filled with Spinach, Potato, Mushrooms, Cheese). They also sell other types of pastries, beverages, candy, cake, chocolates, boreks, with different fillings. My favorite is the Cheese borek. Rolls too. With different fillings.. and so much more.. All I needed and was craving for was 4 of their fresh, delicious Ponchiks. They were nice enough to give me an extra one--free of charge. The smell of those Ponchiks transported me back to Armenia. It was fresh and very hot. Came straight from the fryer. Since I was going to have dinner next door, I didn't want to get full on sweets. For 4 Ponchiks I paid ($13.60). Their prices are very affordable according to the sizes of their delicious savory and sweet baked goods. If you pay with card, there is an extra $1.00 fee for processing. I paid cash. Thank you all very much. Parking is shared with other businesses, and no public restroom. Inside and outside seating.They have multiple other locations.,

Delivery order. Great variety, mid execution…read more The Mr pissed me off and offered me sweet treats to smooth things over -- he knows me so well. Anyway, I had my pick of the menu and selected the Boston cream pie cake, Italian lemon cake and lemon blueberry crumb cheesecake. I am a lover of all things food. One bite can make my eyes close and my shoulders shimmy to music no one else can hear. And yet .. i have never been more disappointed in three things simultaneously. The lemon blueberry cheesecake was the smallest thing I've ever seen. For the price i think ut would at least be a little taller. Its crumb topping added great texture to an otherwise lackluster cheesecake. There was simply not enough lemon and I felt it was missing some lemon curd or fresh lemon zest. The Boston cream pie -- although attractive -- missed the flavor profile for me completely. The custard wasn't that trademark vanilla cream and the chocolate coating reminded me of the time I tasted dark cocoa powder straight. The cake in it had a nice texture but was spongier than expected without the spongy moisture. The best of the three if I had to pick one was the Italian lemon cake, which for me, still needed more of that zesty kick of lemon. They were all very one note and we didn't bothering finishing them. I was disappointed and will likely not return. Oh well, worth a shot ..

I really wanted to love this place, but a few details affected my experience…read more I really love pies, so I was thrilled to hear of a pie shop in the SFV. The parking experience was good and the store looked nice! However, walking in to the store, I didn't feel the most welcome. There was no one else in the shop, but I felt like I was interrupting something walking in. Didn't feel any negative energy, but didn't feel much positivity either. Just not the vibe where I would want to sit and eat, so I sat outside. The staff was nice taking my order and we received a nice slice of apple pie. We did have to pay $3.50 for a scoop of ice cream, which is a bit much, but it was expected because of its location. Once we got the pie, we realized it was kind of cold and lacked something. I would've loved if it came warmed up. Maybe I had to ask for it warmed, but I didn't ask. Overall, I'd give the shop maybe one more try, but I've had better experiences at other shops.

The pie itself was pretty…read moreaverage--I paid about $10 for a slice of key lime pie, and it barely had any noticeable lime flavor. We also tried a couple of the pie bites (cherry and blueberry), and both were disappointing. The fillings tasted dried out, and the crust was the only thing that stood out. For a place that positions itself as a premium pie shop, it just didn't deliver. You can honestly find better pie at a typical restaurant or diner for less.

Finally tried SusieCakes after hearing so much about it, and I can see why it has such a following…read more The frosting is definitely the star of the show here. Their buttermilk frosting is so rich, creamy, and smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. The cake itself is pretty good, but honestly feels more like a vessel for all that delicious frosting rather than the main attraction. I tried the chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing, the coconut cupcake, and the chocolate cupcake with coffee icing. The chocolate with vanilla icing was my favorite by far. The chocolate cake had a nice flavor and paired really well with the thick, creamy vanilla frosting. The coconut cupcake was also good, especially if you like coconut, although the cake itself was a little stodgy and dense compared to what I was expecting. The chocolate with coffee icing was good as well, and I liked the slightly richer coffee flavor with the chocolate cake. Overall, I thought SusieCakes lived up to the hype, especially if you're someone who loves frosting. I think the frosting is what really makes these cupcakes stand out, while the cake portions are good but not necessarily amazing on their own. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other flavors, but I'd especially want to try more of the cupcakes with their buttermilk frosting.

I have heard so much about this place and wanted to try it myself to make my own determination based on my own experience. Loved it from the minute I entered, until the minute I exited. Got there at 5pm and was helped by Kayla with a pretty smile. She wanted to see how she could help and what was it that I wanted. I got 2 nice sized cupcakes. One Coconut flavor, with delicious frosting, and the other one Red Velvet. Two of my favorite cupcakes. They make everything from scratch at their bakery. They have vegan, gluten free options and also regular options. They have a great selection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, candles, and you can customize your cake or any other types of dessert in your own way. Place was very beautiful, clean, including all the windows. It doesn't have indoor seating. Got my cupcakes and left. Both flavors were so fresh and delicious. I took a bite of each. It was just a tad bit too sweet for me, but still delicious. Next time I'm willing to try the vegan or gluten free varieties. Other bakeries usually put way too much frosting on the cupcakes and it overpowers the taste of the cake for me. This was just perfect. Next time when there is a special occasion, I will NOT hesitate to order from this lovely, cute, quaint bakery. Thank you all..:-)
