I have been their long time customer, and throughout the years they have never disappointed me. Pastries and cakes are always super fresh and delicious. Their custom made cakes are the bomb. Any design, style, taste, color - they got it. Prices are affordable compared to many places. The staff is friendly and helpful. My friend, Marine is awesome, she is just so incredibly helpful, caring and always so nice. Today I had 3 o assigns and I got cakes for each one, 2 bdays and graduation congratulations. My niece loved her tres leches cake, my brother - his chocolate cake and my daughter loved her cheesecake with raspberry filling. My daughter just passed her medical licensing exam, I can't be more proud and the cake rose to the occasion Store is always clean and of course, smells amazing. Displays are well lit, and choices are just endless. If you are nearby, make sure to visit them, in my own opinion they are 10000 times better than the Paradise pastry next door. Highly highly recommend them . read more

They sold me the most disgusting Roulette type of dessert ever. They claimed it was Napoleon, but it tasted nothing like it. Extremely soggy and old. Was basically on the verge of getting moldy. Zero filling inside except for tiny bits and pieces of salty cream cheese here and there. It was so soggy I couldn't even cut the dessert, after one bite it all went in the trash. I'll never be returning here. Rather take my business to papaya bakery. read more

"Wow--absolutely delicious, fresh, and unbelievably tasty! This has quickly become one of my favorite spots for ponchiks. The ashta is amazing, and every flavor I've tried is full of sweet, fresh goodness. A must-visit for anyone who loves quality desserts!" read more

I want to share my appreciation for your bakery, especially for your employee Rebecca. I come here often, and the main reason is her. Even though I have other places closer to me, I still choose to come to your bakery during my break because of her. She is not only very good at her job, but also very friendly and customer-oriented. She makes people feel welcome and comfortable, and because of her, I always want to come back. I have also recommended your bakery to my friends and told them that if they visit, they should definitely ask for Rebecca. She truly makes a difference. Please pass a big thank you to her, she is amazing! read more

Oh boy. I have always known of Movses Pastry, having grown up in Glendale. Invariably, my mom or a family friend will have a nazouk or some other pastry from Movses on tap for coffee time or get-togethers. I always thought they were good. Last night, we popped in to pick up a couple cake slices for our date night, and was met with stone silence upon walking into the store. After a couple of glances in the employee's general direction, I said "well, hello to you too", to which she responded with a glum "hello". That was almost enough for me to walk out, but didn't. Both cake slices -- stale. The orange cake was tasty, but stale. The chocolate cake lacked both flavor and freshness. Bummer of an experience. Note: I only give 1-star if I've been food poisoned, hence the two stars. read more

This is my family's go-to spot for all of our pastries and cakes. They're always very helpful and quick with my orders. I recommend coming here if you ever need some sweets to take as a gift somewhere! read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience to help others in the community avoid wasting their time and money at this bakery. Stop buying from this bakery!! & report health department. 1. Poor Pastry Quality I purchased Baklava, Halva, and various puff pastries, all of which were extremely disappointing. The pastries were old, dry, and, shockingly, the puff pastry was moldy. I had specifically asked if everything was fresh, and the staff assured me that all items were baked fresh daily. However, upon bringing them home, we found them inedible due to their dryness and, worse, the presence of mold. It seems that the bakery targets a specific customer base, likely elderly who may not notice the poor quality of the products and the amount they spend to buy the pastries without realizing the quality. Very sad. Please start caring more for the people. 2. Unacceptable Customer Service I called the bakery to express my concerns and spoke with the manager, Ninet. Despite explaining our disappointment calmly, her response was dismissive and unprofessional. Extremely rude individual. You should be embarrassed to see your name on this review. She insisted that they do not lie and that everything is baked fresh. When asked what measures they would take to improve the quality in the future, she simply responded, "Nothing, we'll stop selling old pastries." The fact that she admits that they are selling old pastry. Throughout the conversation, she showed no empathy or acknowledgment of our experience and ended the call with laughter and a dismissive "okay, bye." This is a family-owned business, and it would be greatly appreciated if the owner of Movses Bakery could foster a work culture that values respect toward customers while also ensuring healthier and higher-quality pastries. Considering the prices charged, it's disappointing to end up with products that go straight to the trash. Care for others as you would care for yourself. Rude, disrespectful & unprofessional. Learn to be a little more classy & caring. Thanks. read more

Never Coming Back Customer service? Nonexistent. Atmosphere? Like entering a prison cafeteria. I've been here, the staff is rude and act like you're bothering them just by walking in. No smile, no hello -- just attitude. The food is even worse. The pastries are dry, old, and taste like they've been sitting there for days. Nothing is fresh. AND fyi I parked in front just for a minute, and they had my car TOWED without even saying a word. Yes you read that right. What kind of business treats people like that? I wasn't blocking anything. Just existing apparently was enough to be punished. My friends warned me not to come here. They said the place felt like jail, and now I understand why. Don't waste your time or money here. There are better bakeries out there that treat people like actual customers-not criminals. read more

By far one of the worst bakeries i've been to. First is the attitude, not sure if the front desk lady woke up on the wrong side or just couldn't understand what I was asking her. Second is the pastry, tell me why it tastes like its been sitting behind glass for couple of days. Save your money and go somewhere else! For the price and taste there are plenty of other good pastries in Glendale. read more

I will start off with saying I am a long time customer of Movses Pastry and have never returned anything before in all these years. I am sad I have to leave this negative review however, people should be aware before buying from here. This past Saturday I purchased sliced up Turkish Delights in what looked to be a pre packaged box and had some guests over that night. We all ate the same dinner however, a couple of people who ate the Turkish Delights I had purchased that day became sick from it. I know it was the Turkish Delights because only those couple of people who ate it got sick and they told me they tasted very stale and only ate one piece each. I called and spoke with the manager Ninet today and told her the situation and she was very short and kept saying she has customers in the store she needed to attend to and said she would not do anything and I can do whatever I want with them (throw them away or eat them) and that they receive them weekly and slice them fresh everyday. I was hoping she would be more accommodating and at least offer to exchange the item for something else in the store under the circumstances. I paid $37 and now have to throw away 99% of it, it is not just about the money, it's the principle. Needless to say the customer service is really bad and I am very disappointed, I will let my friends and family know and I will not be returning. Customers beware of purchasing from Movses Pastry, customer service is not a priority at this place. read more

The best customer service fresh pastry everything is the best quality store is so clean

fix your schedule on maps. it says you guys are open until 8:30pm monday through thursday. i just showed up to an employee gesturing that you're closed behind locked doors at 8:09pm on monday. everyone at home was excited for pastries and no other bakery around is open either :/ read more

I've been a loyal customer of Movses for over 27 years, and so has my entire family. There's a reason this place is always busy -- the quality is consistent and truly exceptional. Just last week, my mom brought me some cookies before my vacation, and they stayed fresh and delicious for over a week. I highly recommend stopping by Movses. You won't be disappointed read more

Very Bad i always went to pastry and i would never expect them to do such a thing to their almost everyday customer i went to the store and told them what cake i want and we talked they said okey we will make it. And i go home and just ti be sure i called them and asked if they put that order in and they said no just because I didn't pay but they didn't let me pay in the store they said to me we cant tell you how much will it cost we have to talk to our maneger and we will call you tomorrow.and the next day they told how much will it cost and i put the order in 100%.and the next day one of my family members told me that they not responsible so i call them to mKe sure that they put my order in and they said no that we didn't put the order in and you cant order it read more

They are very irresponsible and a liar we orderd a cake and we call them to ask if they are making it and they say that we never called and made a order and they're trying to prove us wrong that we didn't they were yelling at us and wouldn't let us speak.they said that we hang up and never called again but that never happened. so they can cancel a birthday cake or anything in the last minute or they can pretend they don't understand and stuff like that.VERY BAD read more

I personally went to order a Birthday cake... the lady would not listen to what I wanted on the cake and kept insisting I had to have the cake the way they do things .. ...Long story we after for extra berries we got hardly any berries inside or on top.. we paid top $$ .. we did not question the price because we wanted quality .. .. sorry to say we will never order from them again.. they do not listen to the needs if their customers and charge top $$$.. Movses you failed to get future business read more

I only got the baklava. The place is very clean and the service was especially good. Diana was the lady who helped me out and she was very sweet and informative. The bucklava was honestly maybe 3 stars out of 5, hence this review. It was not very crunchy, though it was fresh. It just didn't have the wow factor that a baklava normally would. I would, however, return to try other things, especially since the service was so wonderful. read more

We bought a birthday cake for my fathers birthday and when we ate it the taste was so bad and distinctive like wet dirt. When we cut it deeper there was mold all over and inside. Why they should sell a cake that went bad with mold and fungus on it!!! When we check the date it was expired 2 weeks ago. We threw it away. The next day we went to The bakery letting them know what happened she was so rude and not respectful! What a customer service! She said you're wrong! She said it's ok to sell a 3 weeks old cake and if you want your money back you have to bring the cake back! Why should I keep smelly moldy cake??!! The manager refused to show up and talk to me but I waited until he showed up and he yelled at me! This is unbelievable! This is intolerable and I'm very very upset. We trusted this bakery to buy BD cakes for our loved ones, if not. then at least cake that wont hurt us and our family. read more

Hands down the best bakery in Glendale and top 5 in all of LA, in my opinion. Always fresh, extremely flavorful and friendly & quick service...what more can you ask for?!! I'v been going to Movses Pastry since I was a kid and although I don't get to go often (as I live pretty far away), I always look forward to being in the area for work, so I have a good excuse to pop in and get some goodies! I've also gotten countless birthday/anniversary/special occasion cakes from them over the years and not only have I always been very happy with the outcome, but have had many of my friends & family eagerly ask me where I got it from?! Mmmm...sooo craving Movses Pastry now...! read more

DONT TRY TAKING PICTURES OR VIDEO THEY WILL MAKE YOU STOP THEN BE RUDE THE REST OF THE TIME. We were just sending it to family to see what they wanted. The pastries tasted as if they had been sitting there for a while. The creams were good the sponge of the cake dry or just not the best. Customer services not the greatest. Some of the pastries have that refrigerator taste if you know that taste then you know. read more
