This place is located in a small shopping center next to Salsa & Beer, so parking can be tricky at certain times of the day. They open at 7 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m which was very convenient for me because I was able to pick up some pastries at 7:30 pm. Pastries are fresh and wont disappoint. Great to take as an office snack to or small get together. I picked out 7 pastries and it came out to about $11.00 not bad for what I got. read more

See all

Cheers . Great and fresh tasty bakery they also have a great Customer service many More successful years.

I don't like the lady who sells the cake. I felt uncomfortable to spend time selecting or to ask what kind of cake or pasty is that etc. The cake place should be more friendly vibe. read more

It was a custard cake with strawberries and frosting, very tasty. All my guests enjoyed the cake. and best of all, the price was right!!! a large cake to feed about 40 people was a total of $55. read more

The pastries are as ugly and stale as the owner's attitude, or at least I think she was the owner. She was so rude and unfriendly. Any question I asked her was responded with a smartass reply, which should have been my red flag to just leave and not buy anything. The pastries are inexpensive, but then again, you get what you pay for. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Maral's Pastry is my family's favorite place to shop from when we want to buy the cheese rolls with syrup. We have been buying from Maral's Pastry since forever and it is always so fresh and decent size. read more

Fresh as it can get...worth 3x more than what the charge. The baklava is crispy, flaky, buttery goodness and so many varieties to choose from. Their cakes and pastries are not too sweet- great balance. Looking forward to ordering our kids' birthday cakes from Maral's. They're a hidden gem of a bakery in the heart of Lake Balboa. read more

You can smell the cakes and cookies two stores before! Very friendly lady that helped me pick my selection. There are plenty of parking available so drive up to the store and park there. Their selection is fairly big and there are different types to choose from. I wasn't sure about their stuff so I just got 8 pieces of different cakes. I wish I would've gotten 18 instead! Very fresh and delicious. Their prices were also good. My 8 pieces came out to be $12. read more

Went in today after having a craving for "cake"... Ended up only getting cookies although their cakes and pastries Looked very good. I'll also have to agree with a previous reviewer regarding the service, very stale and plain. Not at all friendly. It was a woman that served my niece and I and I didn't get a friendly feeling from her at all. The place was probably the least busy (us being the Only customers in the place) in the entire little shopping center. I went in with the intention to buy cake, but could only get myself to try the cookies after the service we received. Cookies are priced at $8 per pound, so that's what I got. What I found interesting is that I asked her to pick her most popular cookies and make the pound assorted as it was our first time there and she did just that, but then when weighing the cookies to "mark" the price, she ended up having to take out THREE cookies. Why this is weird to me is because 1. Do you not sell enough pounds of cookies to know about how may it takes to make a pound? 2. Being that it was our first time there, could you not have said the three were "free" for it being the first time? I mean, she literally was taking a cookie out at a time to make the scale match one pound..... And then placing the cookies on top of the counter (so good luck to the next customer) My whole experience, although short, was very unpleasant. The stars are only there because the items Looked good and most of the cookies were decent in taste. I wasn't a big fan of the date cookies. Anyway, I'm almost upset that I took the time to drive to this place, I'll take the extra "$" on an establishment next time. read more

Best mamoul, it had extra walnuts, with a crumbly cookie crust. The cheese turnover was the best I've had because it had cheese all the way to the edge. The quality and the freshness of the ingredients was very obvious yummmm! read more

We have been coming to this bakery since I was a child! Everything I have ever had here is delicious and the quality has always been consistently excellent. The customer service is also great--efficient & welcoming! I highly recommend Maral's pastry, you will not be disappointed! read more

Really nice bakery, with great sweets. Owners are really nice people & made sure my experience was a pleasant one. Overall, I give them an A+ read more

Amazing baklava...probably some of the best I have tasted. But there is very little customer service, rare smiles. It's a no-nonsense place to get great pastries and that's it. I would still go back. read more

I love Maral's pastry, not only is she and her staff are super friendly, they always make me feel like family. They remember my usual order of their famous Sahlab, most delicious knefe jebne and their fresh-baked mouth watering cilantro/mushroom boregs. For my parties, Maral's is the place I count on for my cakes and pastries, for Thanksgiving, Maral's is the place I count on to make my Thanksgiving Turkey order, hands down the best turkey meal you will ever have. Let's not forget the convenience of not cooking a turkey for 8-10 hours. Thank you Maral's pastry and staff for all you do for me and my family. read more

Been coming here for over a decade. Always yummy dessert options to choose from. Delicious!

Tried this place today. Had a fruit tart and an eclair. Both were awesome & yummy. It was reasonably priced. In fact the price was great. I'll be back. read more

My family has been coming to Maral's Pastry for YEARS! All of our event cakes and pastries are from here! The owners are super nice and friendly. Recommend this place to everyone! read more

Love this place. Every time I am In the area I make sure to stop for some awesome deserts.

I've been coming here for the past 2 years and never had a bad experience at all their croissants are the best you even have to call a day before if you want a big quantity cause they only make a few for the day. If you come to this place after 5pm you probably won't see any croissants and if they do have some they're not gonna be the popular ones I personally think that they have a great customer service their prices are not bad at all they have reasonable prices, although I haven't try their fruit cakes so I don't know if the previous comments are true or not but if they are just let them know and I am pretty sure they're going to do something about it... read more

Without a doubt the best decision I made for my kid's birthday cake. Not only did were they open and receptive to my constant changes, but they exceeded all my expectations. They had only a single, blurry, photo that I provided, as an example of what I was looking for, and made artwork out of a birthday cake, using the most beautiful colors of blues, greens, and pinks I have ever seen on a custom cake. I am so beyond pleased, and beyond IMPRESSED, to say the least!!!!!!! They also have the best selection of sweets, one tasting better than the other.....the eclairs, the tarts, the paklavas, and the cheese boregs; are not even half of it. Lets not forget the friendly service, and the huge smile that greets you everytime.....and even remembers your name and previous orders. Its such a warm and friendly place to be, right out of a Hallmark Christmas Movie Bakery! Thank you Marals pastry for all the delicious treats! read more

Their pastries are to die for! They always taste fresh and I don't think I have ate anything at Maral's pastry that I haven't liked. My family has been a Maral's pastry customer for many, many years and we have never been let down by their taste! Only downside to them is sometimes they might be sold out of certain pastries at times but that's just because their stuff is so good everyone wants some! read more

Outstanding pastries, delicious eclairs & cakes !! Staff is super friendly . Not to mention their amazing pomegranate & pistachio ice-cream.. My favorite place, trust me you will not regret! read more

We got the Thanksgiving Turkey (dessert) made with puffy balls. Terrible quality, the balls are supposed to be stuck together with caramel, they used some clear sugary substance that was getting stuck to your teeth. Very disappointing. Don't buy from that place. read more
