I hope this business will care about not disappointing their long time customers. I had a couple of "incidents " already, but their response was genuinely concerned. So I continued to be a loyal patron. As we are aware they raised prices greatly, OK? Then I noticed my favorite pastry (napoleon) got way smaller! Lol

Best pastry bakery in Pasadena. They use low sugar and their pastries are to die for.

Love their plain Croissants... not overly buttery so they don't ooze butter, but quite light and good for sandwiches or with jam or avocado toast style. Also good for Baklava and related middle eastern desserts. Service generally friendly.
Vrej is fantastic! Ami, family, and staff make you feel like a visiting old friend. The selection and quality of their pastries are exceptional! Must visit.

Dirty flies everywhere including the display case with food. This place has been going down the drain. The quality of pastries are not as fresh , and last time I went by to pick up some stuff the old man who is the owner was yelling out loud at one of his workers. I felt so uncomfortable I wanted to leave right away, I couldn't believe how he was treating her in front of customers. Maybe the owner needs to be seen by a doctor for dementia because if that's how he really treats his employees they should sue him. He is a abusive person and I will never go there again. Their are plenty bakeries in the area besides this one. Maybe it's time to retire you grumpy rude abusive baker! And your pastries taste VERY OLD!
purchased Halewa Jbné, it was spoiled. We got embarrassed before our guests. Will never buy any pastries from this store again! Not reliable, not safe!

I absolutely love this place for special occasion cakes. Beautifully decorated, delicious flavors and the price is amazing for what you get. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Pro tip...get some butter cookies for the car ride home.

I'm Huge baklava fan, and I only came here because a friend recommended it. Baklava wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't great or worthy to be recommended. The baklava fingers were actually dry in the inside, like the butter and syrup never made it through so it was just dry phyllo bread. Gross. If your looking for the best baklava go to Hayats Kitchen in North Hollywood

Employees were very rude. I was so excited to try their cakes. I bought a few to sample and I tried to make conversation however she was just mean. I went out to try the cake and it was FROZEN and stale. I suspect they're freezing their cakes and selling them to avoid throwing it away. Don't go here.
