A family-owned Pasadena bakery
A sweet journey: the artistry and patience behind every tray we pull from the oven
Delight Pastry is a family-owned bakery with more than twenty years on Raymond Avenue making pastries, cakes, and desserts we still get excited to pull from the oven. Our focus is a wide range of European-style work in a shop that feels personal: warm, built for neighbors, and open to visitors passing through Old Pasadena.
We want every item on the counter to look as good as it tastes. When you visit, look for the care in the lamination, the color in the fruit, and a team that still respects small batches.
Who we are
What started as a simple love of baking has grown into a Pasadena institution our guests return to for croissants, custom cakes, and quiet cups of coffee. We keep expanding what we bake and how we serve you, from the daily case to catering and wholesale, so more people can share what comes out of our kitchen.
Lily Azar leads the kitchen with a Persian baker's eye for detail. Spiral croissants, layered cakes, and seasonal tarts earned early love from Eater LA and a loyal regular crowd. Planning something big? Ask about custom dessert tables. Need a quiet latte? We pour those too.
Made by hand, layer by layer
Cut one of our croissants open and you can see the work: thin sheets of butter and dough baked into an open honeycomb. The same patience goes into every cake and tart in the case.

Growing with you
Over the years we widened the menu and partnered with cafés and retailers who want the same quality on their shelves. None of that replaces the shop on Raymond Avenue; it helps us say yes to more birthdays, more offices, and neighbors who want a dependable treat.
