Assal Pastry

Are you looking for the coveted "not too sweet" from your Asian grandma? look no further because this place satisfies her "not too" sweet tooth!Most of their pastries are very good. Definitely try their fruit tarts! The only down side is they no longer make the fruit tarts in the large round cake option with the same material. We opted for the rectangle sheet cake with peach inside and it was delicious. Fluffy and light cake. Light semi sweet frosting. The peach inside and the fruit on top added the right amount of texture and sweetness. They also wrote on the cake. Overall very aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommend and they are still open during this construction. The person was also very nice and informative answering all of my questions.

Great food. Perfect padtry but awful service.Been coming here for years for consistently great cookies but I never met a nice, humble employee here. They seem to have too much on their mind and as if they were yelled at all their lives. The service is always consistently horrible. 1 star for service. 5 for cookies. 4.5 for price

Horrible customer service.These people need to train their employees, the lady who gave us the service was absolutely low class and horrible to communicate with. Do not come to this place.Horrible people, horrible pastry .NOT Recommended

Love the pastry's and cookies here. We make it a must stop when traveling in the area, coming from 7 hours away. The staff are friendly and always answer our questions. The process also decent for the amount of cookies you get.

Special Middle East bakery, which are not found elsewhere. A lot of different choice. Cream dessert is special.

Nice little Middle Eastern bakery with many items to choose from. Came here on a Saturday night. I didn't know what to get so I asked for four pieces of chocolate dipped cookies. The lady at the counter was so kind and didn't even charge me for them and gave it to me as a sample!! I will be coming back next time I visit Irving, California!

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.

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.

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.
