Borekas Sephardic Pastries — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Borekas Sephardic Pastries is a hidden gem that captivates your taste buds with its exquisite selection of pastries. My recent visit to this charming establishment left me thoroughly impressed and craving for more. From the moment I had my first bite until the last, it was a truly delightful culinary experience.

I had the pleasure of trying the Cultured Cheese & Zaatar and the fungi onion and truffle pastries, and I must say, they were both extraordinary. The delicate balance of flavors in each bite was nothing short of perfection. The Cultured Cheese & Zaatar boreka showcased the finest quality cheese paired harmoniously with the aromatic notes of zaatar, creating a combination that was simply divine. As for the fungi onion and truffle pastry, its earthy richness and delectable truffle essence left me in awe. The pastries were freshly baked, maintaining their flaky exterior while being filled with a heavenly filling.

To accompany my pastries, I ordered an iced tea which was refreshing and provided a cool respite to complement the warm and savory delights. For dessert, I indulged in a chocolate pastry, and it was the proverbial icing on the cake. The rich, velvety chocolate oozed out from the pastry, and each bite was pure bliss.

The ambiance at Borekas Sephardic Pastries was cozy and inviting, with a touch of authentic charm. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and eager to provide recommendations. Their passion for their craft was evident, and they went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.

Overall, Borekas Sephardic Pastries deserves every bit of praise it receives. The flavors, the quality, and the overall experience were exceptional. I am already planning my return visit, eager to explore more of their tantalizing offerings.

I’ve been here many times and this is the first time I experienced terrible service. The inability of the new girls working here to say thank you, is a little bit bonkers. I witnessed 4 patrons that thanked the girls profusely (some even wished them a good day and received a grunt for their well wishes) for their food and taking orders and not a single “thank you” was spoken by the employees. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️I ordered from their specials menu, and after the 3rd person who ordered after me got their food I went to the window and asked about my order. The young woman explained that the specials take longer, to wit I asked how much longer it might be and if she could in the future let someone know when that is the case. She replied, sarcastically that she would let me know in the future that it will take longer and I explained again, that it would be nice for someone to know if their order was going to take longer. There was no apology, no acknowledgement, and then later she handed me my food silently. I will not be back to this location again. One of the women had a huge stain on her sweatshirt, and both of them were grumpy. They’ve only been open for 2 hours! Call me crazy, but when I’m in LA, I don’t want to deal with NYC attitudes. it just feels like this place went from a slice of heaven and become like the majority of establishments in Los Angeles, where they do some things great and other things terribly. So sad… I really loved this place. I love Psy, too. I hope the owner or mgr reads these comments and...

I heard about this spot from Infatuation and it def did not disappoint! WOW! Never had Israeli pastries before so wasn't sure what to expect - the girl at the counter (it's only window service & they have a few small crates/tables (3) that you can sit at to enjoy your toasty and hot borekas) was very helpful in guiding me through the options (their menu has appx. 6 choices). I ended up going with the most popular: cultured cheese & za-taar along w their funghi/onion/truffle oil. If for one person, 1 boreka is enough but it smelled so good, I def wanted some to take home. It comes w a side of jammy eggs and pickles, tomato pulp (fresh!) and a spicy sauce - you can definitely eat this for a lighter/medium lunch and be very satisfied. I took one bite and could already tell how good the borekas were! Flaky, light, airy...good ratio of filling...delish spicy sauce. I didn't know how to eat this but the girl at the counter says you take a bite of the egg/pickle/drizzle the sauces on the boreka and go to town! I'll def be back to try the other flavors!

Also great - you can pre-order to reserve the boreka to ensure you get the flavors you want but they close when they sell out...sometimes earlier/after 2pm. So glad I swung by to try this spot and def will...
