It was my first time to visit Sarkis Pastry in Pasadena. I am glad I stopped by. My daughter tried their baklava with her friends and she recommended Sarkis to me. Sarkis pastries is spacious and very organized. They have a few indoor seating. The patisserie has a very wide and tempting selection of cakes, cookies, Middle Eastern desserts, kenafeh and baklava. They also have boregs, wraps, and coffee. They have different assortment of Baklava. For example finger baklava cashew, mini baklava, bird nest baklava, Burma baklava, baklava filled with walnuts, or cashew with chocolate drizzle on the top and more. They also have wide selection of slices of cakes. For example; pistachio, chocolate ganache and Napoleon (Mille feuille) to mention a few. Assorted Cookies like vanilla and apricot sablet, chocolate sablet, chocolate shell, chocolate blueberry and chocolate almonds cookies. I went twice already, just because I wanted to try more of their indulgent desserts. I tried different assortment of Baklava, date cookies, sliced cakes, chocolate shell cookies, apricot sablet, chocolate sablet, butter cookies and more. Honestly Everything was fresh,rich, luxurious and perfectly sweet. Shoutout to Sauna! She went above and beyond in my visits. She was very nice, friendly and genuinely warm.She also gave me samples to try. I had such an excellent experience at Sarkis. The service was excellent too. I totally recommend Sarkis Pastries. read more

I stopped by randomly to try a new bakery. The lady behind the counter was kind and answered my questions. I tried the cashew baklava, and it was so delicious! I like the portion size - any bigger and it would be way too sweet, any smaller and it wouldn't be enough! I think you pay by weight. I will come back next time I need something for a potluck! Credit card/tap accepted Bathroom is behind the counter. (Not sure they allow everyone to go back there) Indoor seating only, only 3-4 tables read more

Knowing that the buzz is Sakis Pastry in Glendale offers delicious pastry I went in and ordered kinafe to eat there. When it was presented to me it was nothing that looks like kinafeh it was white in color with cheese in the middle. Rather than refusing the order I sat down to eat it. It was so crusted with sugar and tasted horrible. I walked out very disappointed. I will never buy kinafeh from Sakis again and do not recommend it at all. read more

Stopped in here during a Pasadena Walk event and I wouldn't have known about this spot without it. It's an Armenian bakery serving pastries and sweets. I learned on the walk that a lot of Armenians set roots in Pasadena, hence a few Armenian pastry shops in the area. Ordered some sweets to try while there. My favorite being the baklava varieties. They were pretty flaky but also pretty sweet so just know your preference there. Overall a good spot to grad and go! read more

This was my first time trying out Armenian pastries, and I absolutely loved it! I loved browsing the amount of pastries they have- there are so many, I had trouble choosing! Staff noticed and offered me to try samples, which was so sweet and definitely helped solidify what to order! They swiftly took my order and packaged everything so well- and prices are great! I ordered various baklava, their potato puff, and their famous spinach pastry! Will come again to try more of their products! read more

We love the baklava here! Choose from pistachios, cashews, or walnuts in different shapes and textures. The baklava at Sarkis Pastry has a nice balance between sweet, buttery, flaky; it's not as cloyingly sweet. It's perfect! Besides baklava, Sarkis Pastry has beautiful looking cakes/fruit tarts and a variety of Armenian/Middle Eastern savory and sweet treats. The ladies that work here are nice and welcoming. Sarkis Pastry has three locations (Pasadena,Glendale, Anaheim). read more

Sarkis Pastry is easily the gold standard for Middle Eastern bakeries in LA. I'm a regular here, and my go-to is always the Walnut Atayef (pictured). The craftsmanship is incredible--every single one is the exact same size and texture, showing a level of detail most shops just skip. Beyond the walnut, their cheese Atayef is a must-try. They make their cheese fresh in-house, and you can absolutely taste the difference; it's creamy, authentic, and easily the best I've ever had. Consistent, high-quality, and great service every single time. They truly knock it out of the park. read more

They have the best decaf coffee!! I'm sure they will know who am I from my decaf coffee impression :-D I'm not from Cali, but every time I'm visiting I always get a chance to treat myself since we don't have many armenian desserts and pastry shops in Vegas. The only thing I noticed was the difference in the cookies' flavors. They tasted different than the ones I've alwayshad. They absolutely don't taste bad, not at all.. but just different. Other than that, everything is great. The service and everyone who is working at Sarkis Pastry are amazing people. I will always treat myself from Sarkis Pastry on my every visit to Cali. read more

Very rude older lady. The young lady that helped is was kind and patient. We got our pastries and went up to pay. She rang up my total and I was waiting to pay cash in hand while she finished boxing up the pastries. Another customer was behind me and being helped by the old rude lady. Old rude lady wipes my order from the register while speaking in Armenian to the man behind me. She then proceeds to ring him up while not saying a word to me as i stood there with my cash in hand. I just moved out of the way and the young lady ended up ringing me up at another register. Very rude. Have been coming here for years but there are plenty of other places that deserve business over this one. read more

First time customer! I have driven in front of the bakery scores of times and have always wondered what it's like. Today, due to a walking field trip with my students, I was able to visit the bakery. I was impressed with the amount of baklava, but what caught my eye were some savory turnovers and cookies covered in powered sugar. I ordered the potato turnover. it was flaky and delicious. The cookies were amazing. I found the ladies behind the counter friendly. Thank you for a good experience. I'll be back! read more

I love the way they made this cake just as my daughter requests in design and style. I asked for it a day before, unfortunately I had last minute choices made. please give them more time they were nice to accommodate within less time I appreciate all their hard work to make this cake, the staff was amazing they actually let me taste the cake flavor as a sample for the cake that would be made. The price was reasonable and affordable we did not added no fruit just chocolate ganache inside with off white topping outside I highly recommend this pastry they have macaroons and other pastries thanks again read more

Decided to swing by after a workout next door & it did not disappoint. I went in not knowing much about the pastries or even having it before & just asked for the favorites. The lady recommended baklavas & boreg. The baklavas are delicious, I had to restrain myself from eating all if it the same day so i could have more another day. The boreg wasnt to my liking but my wife did say it was really good. I did see a string of reviews that said the food was spoiled but it wasnt for me. Maybe they just had a bad day with the same group :( but overall i like it! Service was very friendly! read more

Yikes!! I had high hopes. The pastries here taste several days old. The lady that boxed our choices gave attitude. I'm not sure why. I asked if they had any kahk cookies without filling and she acted like I asked a criminal question. News flash you can make kahk without filling. Anyway, I drive from pretty far away hoping this spot would have tasty Middle Eastern dessert both arrive and taste were not more than 1 star. Disappointed. Will keep searching. read more

The lady serving us was very nice. Loved the baklava, it was so crisp and delicious. Happy we didn't have to go to Glendale for good baklava. Nice that they offer free coffee if you check in on yelp too. Perfect place to stop by after visiting Tail Town, the cat cafe next door. The displays of goodies were beautiful. Nothing like seeing rows of cookies and baklava. read more

Nothing better than drooling all day over a box of Baklava that was purchased today and gifted to my husband, I, and my 99 yr old grandma... Opening the box, taking out my beautiful pastry of choice. Taking a big ole bite, and getting a mouthful of gross moldy pastry taste to chew on. Not just 1 Baklava, the whole box of them actually!! Disgusting!!! This business feels it's appropriate to serve customers spoiled, moldy, pastries and food??!!! And they are not a cheap place!! Unacceptable!! Get it together!! They need to have their operating licenses taken away, health services/ OCIA notified for serving spoiled, and moldy toxic food to the public. read more

we used to stop there every Saturday mid morning after having breakfast in old town pasadena always getting their wonderful pastries their mango pastries are phenomenal. They're always so kind so gentle they're wonderful people to do business with and their product is superb. I highly recommend them. read more

I ordered 2 cakes for a birthday party prior to the party, and they were flavorless. Aside from no flavor, the cakes were requested to be picked up before the party. The cakes were late, since they were going to be delivered from another store. Don't bother with the expensive prices!!! We end up throwing them away and buying new cakes. Waste of $200 dollars!!!! read more

Stopping by unexpectedly while we were in the neighborhood and tried their pistachio baklava. They had so many varieties it was so hard to choose, but the ones we got were absolutely delicious. We will definitely will be back. read more

You guys need to step up your game! We've been your customers for decades and your shipped baklava quality has progressive gone down hill! The tray is never full, the baklava is extremely dry and it's mostly dough and no nuts, and it's stale. Last few shipments that I've ordered have arrived with a row of baklava missing with no cover! How can I take that to someone's house as a gift? It looks like someone ate a row! If you can't bake uniform shapes to fill up your own trays, then charge extra but fill up the tray! I wouldn't mind! I sent a message to you after my last two shipments and never got a response. In the world of e-commerce, you will eventually lose your business which was built by hard working people and those in the community who supported you. I hope you take a note! read more

I know there are multiple location for "Sarkis Pastry"... This location has a few rude employees that really need training on customer service skills. At times I have to acknowledge them, they don't wanna smile, or say hello. My last experience the cashier was talking sh*t about me with another customer in Armenian. I was right there and she had no idea I'm Armenian too and understood what she said. So, I walked in (with a mask) looking around. Was not sure what I wanted. I asked a few question to the cashier. Then I made a call to ask my sister (since I was buying the pastry for her) to see if she preferred one pastry over another. Then a customer walked in, I made eye contact and told him he can go ahead since I was not sure. The cashier made a smirk comment in Armenian and said "this girl has been here over 2 hours and still hasn't decided what she wants to order" to the other customer. Talk about exaggerate. From the moment I walked in to finally deciding, the whole thing took no more than 15 maybe 20 minutes tops. After that customer left, I told her exactly what I wanted in Armenian and she had the look of horror shock on her face. It was priceless! Additionally, they have increased their prices tremendously! read more

I bought some pastries especially cookies this kind of cookies they should be very soft they were horrible horrible back then it was the best pastry place the cookies should be very soft melting in the mouth definitely I would never go back again read more

Grandmas Birthday's tomorrow and I need a fruit tart locally! This is the first place that popped up on my google search near me. It actually worked out quite perfectly because I have been passing this place since I was a kid being driven to school and never tried it. Parking: Street or residential. Usually it's not too busy and you can park right in front of the business. Customer Service: I called in and placed my order for the large fruit tart. She was very polite and said she'd make one fresh for when I arrived. Upon arrival, I was greeted and helped out immediately. I noticed they had some regular customers who they greet. Nice hospitable feel. Pricing: Pricing is reasonable $45 for a larger fruit tart (serves 30 ppl tiny slice or 15 regular sized lol), individual tart, and two macaroons. Taste: I am not a big fruit tart person, but this tart was delectable. The crust was perfect amount of crunch &crumble, whip topping was perfect whipped texture&not too sweet, and fruit was perfect ripeness. There were so many beautiful desserts displayed, I cannot wait to come back and try more! read more

I was able to easily find street parking directly in front of the shop. Easily my favorite baklava I sampled during my time in LA area. Buttery, not too sweet and perfectly fresh. I selected a large pre-assembled tray from the tidy case. The woman behind the the counter was kind and efficient. The absolute standout here are the walnut nests and the folded versions. I counted 25 individual sheets for each. Making them 25 times more flaky, crispy and chomp worthy than their competition. The mini rose or half moon's were flat and a little sad looking. Minimal detractor Traditional and true. I didn't detect any rose, honey or cinnamon essence. Priced at $45 for a large fillo tray. Premium trays with Burma are around $58. This is a must stop! read more
