Assal Pastry

For decades, Assal Pastry has been one of Irvine’s best bakeries – a small and sometimes cramped source of Persian pastries, including baklava, zoolbia and bamieh, as well as French classics such as Napoleons, cream cones and fruit tarts. Expect Middle Eastern flavors such as honey, pistachio, saffron, and rosewater to distinguish the light, delicate, and delicious pastries from American and Asian bakeries. Traditional American cakes, various types of cookies, and nuts are also sold here.
