Great bakery! The prices are low, the items are fresh and the service is exceptional. New management is working hard to improve the bakery and the offerings. Bottom line, this is a really good value and shopping experience. In and out without the long wait times. Highly recommend it. read more

I always order pastries and small bites for all my kids birthdays. Give it a try you will like it

if you need a good sponge to clean your house, i have the perfect one for you. it's called the coffee roll at van bakery. yep, confused? so was i. i thought i bought a slice of cake, but instead, i must have bought a piece of sponge. it was so dry when i ate it that it sucked up all the moisture from my tongue as soon as it touched it. but you see, like a true foodie, i gave it many tries. one bite, two bites, three...almost gone and it STILL tasted like styrofoam with greasy frosting. i couldn't quite persist anymore and did the one thing chinese folks don't like to do...throw away food. i threw that shit away. was that the only craptastic baked good i had there? oh no, i also bought cheese and philly cream cheese rolls. both had super flaky shells made from phyllo dough i suspect. mmm, a good start. but unbeknownst to me, there must be a cheese AND philly cream cheese shortage in this world because the thinnest of thinnest layers of filling were in these rolls and 90% of what you ate was the crust. all three items came out to be $3. not bad at all right...until i realize that i threw most of it away. read more

Well, we ordered a "mad hatter" type of cake for our friend's birthday. The person just kind of said "sure, no problem" and pretty much blew us off. The bakery was recommended to us by a friend, so we trusted them. What we got was disgusting. Seriously. They took a butter cream cake and basically airbrushed a tie-dye type of pattern on it. We asked for a cake with fondant, and a specific cake design. We got a standard round buttercream cake with a drug-induced airbrush pattern. Do not trust them to do what you asked of them. read more

Yes they have delicious pastries and everything on their catering menu tastes amazing... But there is absolutely no costumer service at all! The lady behind the counter is rude and talks down to costumers as if it's our responsibility to buy from them and also from people they cooperate with! We also hired a waitress for the morning of our wedding, the lady was extremely rude, ordered everyone around and at the end made a big deal about wanting to get paid for her services when we already had paid for it all when we put in our order! She started yelling and slammed the door on her way out! Worst service ever! Horrible and Embarrassing! read more

This place is the best! I made an order for my nephews birthday and everything was so fresh and yummy! Also I ordered cake so delicious ! Thanks for everything ! Definitely will be back:) read more

Van Bakery - Star Wars cake ! It was so yummy! Thanks Van bakery! You are the best - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale, California

I can't say I've tried many things here, but I can't say enough about how AMAZING the "Mother-In-Law" cake tastes ("Zokanch" in Armenian). It's moist, has a 4-5 different layers with poppy seeds in one, walnuts in another and has delicious cream in between the layers. You will not be disappointed with this "sheet" cake. They also have a pretty extensive catering menu that I haven't tried. Looking forward to trying their "Honey Cake" next time. read more

I almost never take any of my time to write reviews on Yelp, but I couldn't resist giving a 5 star review to Van Bakery in Glendale. Since the first time I tried their cheese rolls and khachapouri I was absolutely stunned by how good it tasted. I have been visiting this Bakery at least once a week since then. Something else I wanted to mention is that their croissant sandwiches are like no other. The cheese melts so nicely with everything and the lightweight croissant is so soft and easy to bite that it creates a craving like you've never had!!! The place is absolutely clean you won't see piece of dust or trash anywhere around you and they have recently put some tables outside so you can have a nice desert with anyone you'd like. One last thing, the service is so good because every time I'm welcomed with a smile and patience as I decide on my order. Amazing customer service is what I'm trying to say... Great Bakery what more is there to say!! read more

Wonderful pastries, service and place!! Everything is so delicious, fresh and amazing. Anything bad said about this place has to be false. It is a wonderful bakery that has been around for awhile and they know exactly what they are doing. They sure know to bake scrumptious pastries that melt in your mouth! The armenian sugar cookies, jourabiah, are my favorite thing to get there!!! Absolutely amazing!! read more

Van bakery has the most exquisite pastries in Los Angeles! Their freshly prepared decadent cakes are by far my favorite. With each purchase my expectations are exceeded! My top two desserts are their cheese rolls and meringue cake! I'll usually stop by to pick up pastries for work events or other various occasions (parking in the back). You're more than welcome to call and place an order as well to guarantee fresh and timely preparation. Van is a local business that I full intend on supporting given their commitment to preparing high quality, delicious pastries! read more

Van Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale, California

Stopped in for dessert last night. Patient staff, tasty choices. They had one dish in a little cup that tasted like apple pie with cream, it was so good. Kids had a meringue cookie, a cream bar, a strawberry cream cup, and a chocolate cake round. They seem to have more cookies than anything else. My son was sad that they didn't have cheesecake lol. Lady was very friendly and patient with my bunch as they picked. read more

This bakery is a joke, numerous times I've bought Gata from the bakery but recently the pastry was undercooked. I addressed my concerns with the store manager but she was extremely rude and disregarded my concern. I'm not even sure how this bakery is still in business with the lack of health concern and rude manager. read more

I work at a nearby school so i was looking for cupcakes or a cake for our valentines day party. The person was sooooo rude and disgusting with her attitude that i couldnt wait to write this yelp. Because i am an adminstrator, i definitely told my staff not to come here. I will never know if the pastries are good because I just got hit with nastiest attitude in glendale. Its like she literally did not want money....i now understand why its always empty when i drive by and i hope they know whoever was working at 12 today is hurting their business. read more

One of my co-workers brought pastries from this bakery into the office and I was in love!!!! I had to go get some for my family. I looked it up and found the address. I finally had the chance to go today and I was greeted by the rudest customer service individual ever. She looked angry that she had customers. She was not helpful, huff and puffed as I looked for the pastries, she didn't have any social skills at all. I actually felt a bit bad for her because only a hard life can make a person as pretty as her so angry and bitter. It wasn't until I left when I realized that the reason this bakery had such a low rating was because of her. The pastry was delicious but that woman left a really bad taste in my mouth. A company is only as good as its people. I probably won't return but I do hope she finds something that brings her happiness. read more

It is unfortunate to read any negative comments about this place, almost sounds they had some personal issues to resolve...it is one of my absolute favorite bakeries in the Glendale ,that was called number one place in the USA for number of bakeries ! More than 50 of them in the small town of Glendale! Every bakery in town is known for their own best pastry and owners take pride in what they do and make sure they do it well since they face tremendous amount of competition. Van bakeries specialty is their " ghourabia" cookies , that are great with coffee or tea. They make the very best ones in town! And those are a must try! But my new favorite is Hasmiks ( the owners) new invention -which she calls non-fryed " ponchik" ( Armenian donuts) and those are to dye for! She baked them instead of frying and they are filled with custard or Nutella and are Unbelivable! I love them as a breakfast pasty , since they are so good to eat them warm, and needless to mention that are more figure friendly than the fried ones! For my cousins wedding they have ordered catering for brides home ( before the wedding ceremony) from Van bakery and to they were all very delicious and made and played with outmost care . Great selection of finger foods, light appetizers, dips , salads, mini Armenian pizzas...and don't want to forget about their tasty cupcakes! ...Van is great, and you just need to try to find it out for yourself ! read more

Ordered a cake from them, came home cut it found hair in it. We took it back the lady without apologizing or anything takes the cake in the back (i took the cake with the hair in it) and says oh we just figured it was not hair it was a piece of thread. I am like where is the hair why did you take it in the back and remove it? she says oh it was not hair it was a thread. Can you believe this? I cant!!!! Horrible, horrible service!!! read more

Great sweet cheese pastry! OMG it was delicious. Stumbled in here when killing time in Glendale today and looking for coffee and was pleasantly surprised. I believe it's Armenian owned and thus Armenian style pastries which I'm unfamiliar with and everything looked delicious. The shop smelled of pastries freshly baking which was just lovely and the service was so kind and friendly. Would definitely come back when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

I have to say when I read the reviews it didn't sound like this place can handle my wedding. But it worked out better than I expected. Thank you so much Jasmen for being such a wonderful designer and making my wedding day so special. They did catering for my house in the morning. It was beautiful, artful and tasted really good. They did my cupcakes for the wedding, such a creative design. Everyone was asking where did I get such an idea and who did it? Plus the cupcakes tasted so good! Thank you again! read more

Owner is very nice, she also runs the Glam nail salon next door..The pastries look delcious and I wanted to know more about the dessert... But the lady at the counter is not friendly and has no costumer service at all! As result poor customer service =lost a new customer. read more

Just want to say Van Bakery there are 3 that I know of, North Hollywood, Los Angeles and the best of them all GLENDALE!!!! I am from Europe and I love ECLAIR but searched for years something to at least get close to the taste back home... without success! In Glendale this lady Jasmin is her name and her other workers (by the way as sweet as their sweets)... well... there I am back home for a minute!!! It smells the same like in a bakery back home and the sweets... Amazing! but the Eclairs... the Eclairs, I am just the kid I used to be 20 years ago and I go and buy at least 20 some at the time, and by the time I leave the bakery I have already eaten 4 or 5 of them!!!! The best eclairs I have eaten in California yet!!!! You need to go trust me! They are super fresh and again no possible way to describe them just, you'll feel like home again!!! Thank you miss Jasmin for always give me that feeling, for all your hugs and the best eclair made yet in California! Love yours R. read more

Great bakery! Perfect place for pastries and everything to satisfy your sweet tooth. Delicious!

Just left the bakery and couldn't wait to try the different assortments of pastries. This place is 10 stars. Not only were the pastries melting in your mouth, the owner Jasmine was personable and took time to explain each of the pastries. The one she recommended were simply the best I ever had. If It wasn't for my appointment at Glam for my Mani/Pedi I would never know about this place. Jasmine also owns Glam next door. She puts in a lot of time and takes pride in her businesses and customer satisfaction. I'll be back for sure. read more

I stumbled upon this cute place in Glendale when I had some time to kill last week. I was pleasantly surprised!! So many unique and delicious pastries. I had the butter/sugar cookies and they were amazing! Then yesterday I returned and grabbed a bunch of things for the office--mini pizzas, a couple wraps and some french macaroons! Everyone was so impressed with the food! I'm so glad I found this yummy and convenient place. So great!! read more
