Horribly low quality baked goods. We live in Kelowna where there is no Persian Bakery. I normally buy from Rex bakery in North Vancouver but we were not going all the way into Vancouver so I googled and found this place....the good reviews must be one-offs or old. The store is extremely crowded and difficult to shop in. I was in there with my partner and two other women walked in and we were all tripping over each other and the untidy shelves trying to shop around. The pasteries are extremely stale. My partner went to order a pistachio cream roll and was told he can't have it because it has gone bad and they can't sell them. The question is why is the tray still on display. The woman left the tray in the display after informing us we couldn't have any because they had gone bad. I purchased two large boxes of other baked goods ..my own fault, the clerk's admission to having old/expired goods on display should have been enough to stop me from buying more but we live in a town with no Persian stores and I really wanted to come back with some for myself and for family. Well...the pasteries are completely dried up and stale. Some were difficult to bite into. I paid almost $70 for two boxes. They will be going into the trash. There were two large fridges at the very end of the store, one had cakes in it that looked like had been sitting in there for a few weeks, now the other cake comments make sense. The fridges were dirty inside and looked like had not been cleaned in months.
Overall, extremely poor shopping experience and quality. Save your money. I understand North Vancouver is far from Coquitlam but honestly worth the drive to Rex on 16th Avenue in North Vancouver for the quality and freshness of their baked goods and lots.of other options for general Persian groceries in North...
Read moreRandomly stumbled upon this cute little bakery as I was running errands in the area and initially wanted to pick up a small item or two for family and was helped by a member of the family that owns the business, Ash who explained they’ve got a bunch of great sweets and treats. He arranged a mixed box of his choosing and they didn’t not disappoint! the cute bakery has lots of imported items and the whole shop is filled with the aroma of butter and sugar in a great way. Next visit will be difficult to choose which items as there are so many! Great treats, very affordable and amazing hospitality. I would recommend everyone in the area to support this family owned business and I look forward to see them continue to serve the community...
Read moreShopped twice at this place. First time the young girl sold me a pastry with cream filling, by the way just the crust, filling was missing. Zaban cookie was hard as a rock. Yesterday was my 2nd visit. Gram flour was bitter and stale. Pistachio jam cookies had worst taste in the jam. Bought this Saturday morning, by the end of evening got sick and was sick all night. Will be reporting this place to food safety board tomorrow. They should shut down this place. Yes read other reviews and they are correct cookies have...
