Every occasion in our house is celebrated with Assal pastry, they are the best in town and none like in OC. Very light and tasty cakes.

They made me the best birthday cake with a last minute notice. Best bakery ever!! All their pastries taste great too. Can't recommend enough

Only came here to do a catering order of baklava. Our guests loved it! Order was ready on time for pick up and reasonably priced compared to other bakeries I explored.

Wow an overwhelming number of fresh desserts and pastries to choose from. The staff were helpful and offered suggestions. The napoleon cake is a must get - flaky pastry, not too sweet, and the perfect amount of pastry cream - and the baklava was *chefs kiss*.

This place has delicious desserts and cakes. My son loves their fresh fruit cake made with whipped cream instead of buttercream. It tastes very light and not too sweet. You can order ahead birthday cakes with your choice of fruit filling.

Ordered a cake from Assal Bakery. The cakes here are delecious. There will be no left overs. They are filled with tiny pieces of nuts. Amazing awesome and super delecious. The staff are very friendly and parking is plenty. Cost effective prices. Love these for the holidays.

I love discovering new bakeries in my area, and my sister had been raving about this place for a while. Totally see why. Their pastries hit!! They have such a wide array of Persian and French pastries and cakes. They aren't too overwhelmingly sweet and the textures are on point. I tried the Pistachio Baklava, Chocolate Roll Cake, Napolean, and the Cone pastry. They're all pretty light and airy, and I appreciated how flaky the Napolean and Baklava were. I will say -- the pastries and cakes here are on the more expensive side, especially compared to most Asian bakeries. But if you're looking for something a little different, this is a great option to stop by for some small little desserts.

I love this place! It's in the Marketplace in Irvine so there is plenty of parking. I usually can get a parking spot right up front. They have a variety of goodies to choose from. Our family faves are the cream puffs, eclairs and napoleons. Their prices are very competitive and their customer service is always awesome! The bakery is always clean and tidy and very organized. It can get crowded on busy days but waiting outside isn't a deal breaker.
