Can't tell you how often I've driven past this plaza without giving it a second glance. Recently went to Shish Kabob House next door and saw the interior of the bakery through the glass. Curiously decided to step in and see what is inside, I was pleasantly surprised. This is a family operated Armenian bakery with delicious pastries, cakes, macarons, and BAKLAVA! Jackpot!!! Goodies that I love in one place.
Going to a good bakery usually makes me feel like a kid inside a candy shop and this is exactly what happened. There was so much I wanted to try and not enough stomach space even when sharing with others. This is the best kind of dilemma to have. My mouth is greedy but I ain't ashamed to admit!
There were many types of baklava and I tried the square pistachio baklava and the triangle baklava. I personally liked the square one more as it is more of a flaky pastry dough filled with chopped nuts like walnuts, almonds or pistachios. It is just the right amount of sweetness. The triangle baklava is a bit too sweet for my taste. It is delicious but not the best I've had. I would still eat it nonetheless. The Russian cake is great and not so sweet as well. I saved the slice of chocolate fudge cake for another day as I couldn't eat anymore, even when sharing. It is still moist and delicious even when it is a day old. Not overwhelmingly sweet or chocolatey, which I like, but given all the other yummy options I would skip this one next time.
I would recommend coming here for a try. I look forward to more baklava and trying out the other goodies in this bakery. I save quoting great words of the terminator for the rare few, "I'll be back."
