I used to buy pastries frequently here and their quality was good. I even recommended it on Reddit when someone asked for a good pastry place.
Recently we bought pistachio roll and other stuff. And the pistachio roll was clearly not fresh. When my wife pointed it out to them later (in 2 hours), they started to 1) deny it and say the roll is good, and then 2) blame us not store pastries properly and then 3)offer us a low-ball compensation.
It is already a red flag for their pastry being not fresh. Their bad customer service made the service even worse.
We all want to support small businesses in local communities. But this place doesn't deserve our support anymore.

Really love the pastries here. It is a sort of cultural awakening because it takes me back in time enjoying to the same goodies we used to get in Bombay and Pune in India. Love it!!

Unfortunately Assal Pastry is not what it used to be. It was high-quality Iranian pastry and very consistent. However, that has changed. Today I picked up a cake that was watery and falling apart upon cutting. This is generally a sign for a stale cake. I’m disappointed and probably won’t return.
I had a very disappointing experience at Assal Pastry. Upon walking in, I was abruptly told to “move your dog out” before even being greeted. There was no “hello” or any courtesy,just a harsh tone that felt incredibly disrespectful. As a customer, I expect basic manners, especially from a business owner. Also, in California, service dogs are legally allowed in businesses, so a more respectful approach would be to kindly ask or clarify if the dog is a service animal. Based on this unprofessional and rude treatment, I will not be returning.

Been here multiple times and always loved it. I often get the zoolmia for large friends and family gatherings and they taste great - very sweet but also very similar to Indian jalebi. The folks who run the shop have always been very friendly. The items are all reasonably priced. Went most recently to get something for Mother's Day and they had a bunch of nice looking gift boxes. They're happy to tell you what's in each product and help you pick something for your taste, like if you want more snacky, less sweet. Parking lot gets crowded on weekends and I also find that the parking spaces are very tight there.

They should train their employees on how to properly speak and behave with customers. The lady was very rude — I just asked a simple question about cakes, and she made me feel like I had done something wrong. Very disappointing experience.

Best Persian Pastry in city??? 100%

Cakes: 3 stars. If you like heavy cream and thin layers of cakes this might work for you. Not sweet at all.
Cookies: 10 stars !! I tried the chickpea cookies and they are simply delicious. They literally melt in your mouth!! Soooo good.
