I am making this review as I stuff my face... I literally took one bite and immediately just knew I needed to let everyone know how good this spot is. My family and I are not from here and I have been looking for a good middle eastern bakery. When I looked on yelp, I was overwhelmed with all the options. We decided to just go with whoever was closest. We ordered a few cheese manakeesh and some lahmajun or lahmab3jeen....Everything was made fresh to order and sooooo tasty. The lahma one was so perfectly spiced and crispy, my favorite. I will definitely be back 10/10

I can say that if I walk into a breakfast café/restaurant and there's obviously some locals/regulars chatting it up with the owner and hanging out, then it's going to be a good dining experience. Going into Sipan Bakery was just that. A group of locals enjoying their breakfast/brunch, and a local chatting up the owner as well as asking for mechanic recommendations. You can tell it's a community staple. The owner was very friendly to us too and made sure that everything was to our liking. You can see the pizza oven from over the counter and that everything is made/baked in house. We got the: 1) Glendale Mashrooha Sandwich: -This is a cheese mashrooha with soujouk meat, scrambled eggs, topped with tomatoes, fresh mint leaves, and olives. -I believe a mashrooha sandwich is an open flat bread sandwich based on what I've seen during a Google search. If not a lot of results are showing up and the bakery itself is a result, you know that it's a unique menu offering. -Soujouk meat is ground meat seasoned with dry spices. -Nice hearty breakfast sandwich and you don't feel as guilty eating it with the "veggies" included on top. 2) Ajarski Kchachapouri - 2 eggs: -This pastry resembles the eye of Sauron with 2 sunny side up eggs in the middle with cheese. -Simple and delicious pastry, you can't go wrong with this. -Once again nicely seasoned, not too oily, gooey cheese and yummy runny eggs. -First time having one of these and I feel like it's going to be one of those dishes I'd immediately order again if I see it on a menu. 3) Lahmajune: -This is an Armenian pizza made with flatbread and a flavorful ground beef and tomato topping mix. -Nicely crispy flat bread and I love tomato mixed with meat. It's very flavorful without being too salty or overbearing. -Delicious type of pizza that I've never had until now. Would stop by again if I'm in the area.

Found Sipan on Yelp and came here to try the lahmahjun. I was greeted nicely and ordered a couple things to go, I asked for one of the lahmahjun to be warmed and the guy asked if I wanted lemon - I was so confused and told him I've only had it plain. In all my years eating lahmahjun I've only had it as it comes and was never once served lemon with it or even asked if I wanted lemon. I didn't know it was a thing. He recommended that I try it and he was right - holy cow it was a different experience. I first tried it without and it was really good, but the lemon elevated the spices, it was SO good. They are on the smaller size but the topping was generous and flavorful, and the crust was perfect. Appreciate the warm hospitality, gift of knowledge, and delicious treat - will definitely come back! Private parking lot that is a bit narrow but doable.

Upon entry, we were greeted by a very warm and welcoming gentleman. He asked us a few questions and then offered suggestions. This was my first time at an Armenian bakery, so I greatly appreciated it. His suggestions were helpful and I felt no pressure to order one way or another. Everything was delicious. The bread was soft and warm and ever so slightly toasted on the underside of the beorek. The fresh veggies and herbs in the glendale special mashrooha were a refreshing touch and added a crispness to the texture. Very tasty. Definitely try this place, even if youre not familiar with the food. They will help you out and make you feel welcome.

The absolute best ajarski I've had. So fresh and quality ingredients. Highly recommend for breakfast

I was in the mood for middle eastern food. Originally, in search of the typical salad, lule kabob, shawarma, something of that nature. I rely on highly positive reviews and came across Sipan Bakery goodness, they did not disappoint! I was so happy to have found this place as this will be my new go to spot! Arrived on a Thursday afternoon and they were quite busy with what seemed to be a group of ladies enjoying themselves. Nonetheless, the owner was sweet and quick with our order. Got the Chicken Shawarma pizza, Lamahjoon and Kibbee (Kofta). The pizza was bomb flavorful and delicious, lamahjoon typical and Kibbee delightful! I thought the Kibbee would be a side of Kofta like the meatball but I was a bit surprised at what I received but it was sooooo good! IG Palate_Journey DOG FRIENDLY - Outdoor seating

Ajarski
Naira S.

Sipan Bakery in Glendale has quickly become my new favorite spot for ajarski! As a big lover of this dish, I was thrilled to find that they offer three sizes--perfect for any appetite. I always go for the small with one egg, but they also have options with sujukh and basturma, which I'll definitely try next time. Another must-try is their zatar with veggies--it's soooo delicious! The flavors are amazing, and I can't wait to go back again soon. Highly recommend! And the owner was so nice!

Yummmmm smell the fresh jalapeños
Kathryn K.

Food was amazing & service was very warm and welcoming. The second you walk in, you can SMELL the quality of the bread and ingredients they use. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they not only make Mediterranean goodies like lahmajune, maneish, shawarma, and ajarski, but they also offer very tasty pizzas, paninis, flatbreads, and sandwiches. My son loved their pizza and I was especially fond of their chicken shawarma. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu!

FIRST TIME HERE: FAMILY RUN VEGETARIAN SPOT FAST FRIENDLY SERVICE CLEAN TASTY I don't have a control group to measure against, but this was an AWESOME EGG PIZZA THING. (Ajarski) see below. But first - THE BREAKDOWN: PARKING There's a very small lot in front that is relatively easy to get to heading East on Glenoaks. There's street parking around the corner (either side) as well. BATHROOM Didn't ask. SERVICE I arrived a little late (1pm) for lunch. Still plenty of people sitting and others coming in for pick up orders. Yet service was fast and SUPER FRIENDLY. First time: so I didn't know what I wanted and was slow. The young guy helping me didn't rush me and let me know what was available. FOOD late: some of the popular borek options were out of stock at 1pm. Still there were other vegetarian options available. Feta borek: Nice salty spicy flakey. A few minutes in the oven for a heat up. Spinach and cheese borek: Also nicely seasoned. And the spinach and cheese went from END TO END. you may have had borek that had "a little" stuffing inside at some other places. Here: This spinach was in the first bite all the way to the last bite! EGG PIZZA THING. Akarski Maybe you've seen it and wanted to try it. THIS IS THE PLACE. I had no idea what to expect (i'm from New York pizza). I didn't even know HOW TO EVEN EAT THE THING. I mean-it's got an egg on it. Wtf. Fortunately, I saw another customer working a 2-egg version. WAS HE WRONG? am I wrong too? See photos - Let me know. I kinda want garlic and onions on this thing, but it was awesome. DOUGH WAS RIGHT COOKING WAS RIGHT EGG WAS RIGHT who cares if I was wrong eating it. Yum. But seriously - am I eating this the right way?? How do you eat it? (Oh yeah, they offered tapatio with it, but I went without, adding only black pepper)

Soujouk Gondola Pizza (AJARSKi)

Was looking for a good Armenian breakfast that had eggs. Discovered this place on a random google search and I'm so glad we decided to try it. Ordered the Lahmajune Omelette, the Glendale special, and the Kachapouri with sojouk. Delicious and we will be back!

Spinach cheese beorek.
Kelly L.

Wonderful place. Delicious food. Kindest people. The service is incredibly kind, helpful and friendly. One of the things I noticed while there is how they know so many of their customers by name, that told me a lot of good about this place right from the start. The food was fantastic we had the breakfast pizza, spinach and cheese beorek and the khachapuri with bacon. I had to stop myself from over ordering, I love beorek and wanted to try them all. We will be back to do just that!

Reasonable prices for the baked goods.

Still halal under new owner ship?

Years ago they mentioned it was halal. It could be default halal, since no pork is served. Not sure if it's specifically zabihah.

Been asked a lot since the sign was removed . Still serving halal meats?

Yes

I don't know how I've missed this pastry shop all of these years. I've lived in the area for about…read more8 years and the shop is about 8 minutes from my home. I happened to be at the tire shop across the street getting the tires changed on my car and needed to pick up some pastries for guests that were coming over that same day. One of those guests happens to be a baker so I really needed to find some fresh delicious pastries. I checked Yelp for nearby bakeries and La Jaconde popped up with really great reviews so I drove right across the street and picked up some baked goods. I picked up this big pastry that was stuffed with cream cheese and sour cherries (TRUST ME you want this), a box of mixed cookies and bite sized goodies, and a box of stuffed dates (don't knock it until you try it). EVERYTHING was fresh. Everything was tasty. And it got the stamp of approval from the baker friend. The cream cheese and sour cherry stuffed bakery literally disappeared in 10 minutes, and that thing was not small by any means. I returned to this same place the following week to pick up some savory baked goods for some friends, and the owner was at the shop and was so kind and so proud of his products (as he should be). Needless to say this is going to be my bakery of choice. I'd drive past 5 shops to get to this one any day.

Wow the cakes are beautiful, fresh and all my guests LOVED every bite. The cupcakes are so soft and…read morefluffy...the kids loved them. This place deserves to stand out for their top quality.

Artelice Pâtisserie is honestly one of the prettiest pastry shops I've been to. The desserts look…read morelike edible artwork with velvet finishes, mirror glazes, and incredibly detailed presentation. I tried the Tropical Mango entremet and absolutely loved it. Light, silky, refreshing, and packed with tropical flavor without feeling too sweet. I also tried the raspberry chocolate pastry which was beautifully executed with raspberry compote and chocolate mousse, but I'm just very particular about chocolate-forward desserts. The iced vanilla latte was the perfect balance alongside the pastries, and I ended up leaving with a handful of macarons that were honestly addictive. Every flavor was delicious. Love the outdoor seating too. Perfect spot to slow down for a minute, enjoy a coffee, and have a really elevated pastry experience.

Artelice used to be okay when they first opened years ago. The pastries were refined, buttery,…read moreelegant, and actually reminded me of real French pâtisseries. Their New York rolls were full, rich, flaky, and flavorful. Unfortunately, over the past year, the quality has gone completely downhill. The croissants are now dry, overcooked, and tasteless , even early in the morning. It honestly feels like they changed the butter because the flavor is gone. The pastries look beautiful for Instagram, but the taste no longer matches the image. People probably come for the terrace and the "Paris" aesthetic, but nothing about these pastries feels authentically French anymore. The owner is Iranian and honestly should stick to Iranian pastries instead of trying to market this place as a French pâtisserie, because it is nowhere close to the quality or refinement of a real French pastry shop. On top of that, customer service is terrible. The employees are rude, impatient, and act bothered when you ask simple questions like the price of a croissants ; especially since prices are not clearly displayed. Paying almost $7 for a croissant or New York roll, and $10+ for many pastries, would maybe be acceptable with excellent quality and service... but definitely not with dry pastries and rude staff. Parking is another nightmare. There's no dedicated parking lot, so you have to park on San Fernando, pay for parking, and parking enforcement is constantly circling waiting to ticket people the second your time expires. This was my last visit. Save your money and go elsewhere for pastries -- honestly, even Whole Foods does better at this point.
