Sianto’s Bakery Cafe

Great food, great atmosphere, awesome service. I have tried a couple of wraps from here and all of them have been delicious. The food is fresh and is ready in a reasonable amount of time. Give the haloumi cheese and the roasted eggplant wrap a try.
My only complaint would be the fact that the wraps are a little on the pricey side — but honestly, just half of the wrap can get you full and the other half is left for dinner or lunch the next day!

Great food, always go to Siantos after work-​but one major complaint I have:
I’ve noticed when I walk in on a hot day, it is BEYOND uncomfortable sitting inside! Does the A/​C not work?! I want to enjoy my fresh food inside the café, but I find myself more and more irritated the longer I stay in there! Management needs to fix this problem or else they’re going to lose my business and others as well!
Number one priority should be customer satisfaction meaning not a 100 degree lobby area! It is completely unacceptable for a business to operate if they don’t have adequate air conditioning in the facility, especially when you got people who are on breaks from work and want to sit in and eat, or even for the people who work there!
Update–
Owners messaged me regarding their AC problem assuring me that it was a work in progress.
Still a problem and with temperatures going up to 110 degrees and over I refuse to step foot in there. JUST CALL SOMEONE AND FIX IT. Isnt that worth your business and customers?
A facility during the SUMMER in Los Angeles shouldn’t be over 70 degrees. People are searching for good food and a nice and cool place to settle for a little break.

I had a great lunch here yesterday and had the pleasure of eating clearly and lovely cooked quality food. I had the Combo Platter dinner which was made with quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. The best part is this food cooked with love and there is nothing better! Thank you for a great experience and a wonderful meal.

We love this place. Great food, nice family environment, and a beautiful patio for a nice relaxing breakfast, lunch or dinner.

On my recent trip to LA, a friend of mine invited me to this nice and cozy restaurant that serves Mediterranean food. I must say I really enjoyed the variety of delicious flatbreads and the most juicy and flavorful wraps. I wish there was one around DC area, I would be hooked :)
Would love to order from their catering menu for our events and receptions! I will definitely come back next time I am around. Highly recommended!

This café is located in a modern plaza where not everyone may see it, but it’s definitely a must try! The plaza is big so there’s always parking even during busy hours. My absolute favorite place to go to! Always fresh food, always great service. I love their wraps and pastries. They have everything to satisfy your cravings. Aside from the food and service, I love their outdoor patio. I love having breakfast on their patio and enjoying the fresh air! They also have great music in the patio area. Although they’re located next to Starbucks, I love getting their Lavazza Italian coffee! If you know anything about coffee, you will definitely understand what I mean after trying it out.
When I have gatherings at home, I always get Siantos delicious food for my guests, and everyone always loves it and asks me where I got it from.
Love this place and always recommend it to everyone!!!

Great food and great location and most of all great service. This place is a hidden gem. I’ve been passing by the shopping center (with Starbucks on Foothill) and never knew about this nice cozy restaurant that serves the most flavorful and tasty food in the neighborhood. I got hooked right away. Their falafel wrap and the spinach and cheese flat pizza-​like items are my absolute favorites. So good…
This place deserves merit for its team as well. Such a positive environment. And they have food network on all the time. So for someone like me who likes to eat good and anything about good food, it is the place.
There is also plenty of parking. Even at busy times I have had no problem finding a spot. The shopping center is big enough.

Best bakery ever! Much recommended. Great food, always fresh and delicious, service is superb and prices are very decent.

the cheese used to be very good and reasonable price back in 2012, 2 dollars, now a piece of bread with some puffy cheese which is not so good is 5 dollars not worth it. That is the best thing to eat on their menu.

Crazy slow service even when they’re not busy. Would not come here again or recommend to others.

Chicken wrap is absolutely perfect… and this place is ran by people who care. Even if the wrap was only good, I’d still be back just to support their team. Great people, amazing food, and very very reasonable pricing! Thank you Sianto’s!

I’ve been coming here with my kids for years now. It isn’t on my way anymore but it’s worth the drive. I like their outdoor seating now too. Their bread is fresh which makes everything way more delicious. The use of Mediterranean ingredients is super yummy. They have kids plates too which works great. My favorite is zatar and lebni. I can’t get enough of it but over the years I’ve tried a lot of their items and haven’t had a miss. If you’re not used to flavors like zatar it’s worth a try but you can always try something like cheese and veggies. Overall delicious and let’s not forget their awesome service.

Very fresh ingredients; never disappoints.
Their baklava is always /​very/​fresh as well.

What’s awesome about this place is that they make everything fresh. The wraps are always warm, the breads are always freshly baked, and it just smells heavenly when you walk in on an empty tummy. Sianto’s is a small café in a medium sized shopping center located next to Starbucks. Here you can get a pretty big meal for a decent price with in house ingredients and yummy combinations. I like to support local businesses, especially those that really put love into their food. I ordered in for pickup on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The menu consists of salads, Mediterranean bowls or plates, specialty flat breads, and oven baked pita wraps. There is an option to order pickup online for quick and easy processing.
I chose two items from the menu: the falafel pita wrap and the zatar and cheese flat bread. The falafel wrap is falafel mixed with garlic tahini sauce, vegetables, and fresh mint. The falafel is made in house and so flavorful. This is a classic sandwich but also very easy to mess up. Sianto’s does it right. The textures in the flat bread i just right. The crunchiness of the toasted pita with the creaminess of the tahini and crisp vinegary pickles is a great combo. The zatar and cheese flat bread was one of the best I’d ever had. For those that don’t know, zatar bread is a mix of herbs and fragrant olive oil baked on fresh bread. It is a Mediterranean classic. Sianto’s zatar and cheese bread was a blend of thyme, oregano, herbs, olive oil and a mix of Mediterranean cheeses. YUM. The herbs and cheese on that fresh, warm flat bread made my taste buds explode with flavor. I highly recommend this as an appetizer to share or even add some veggies and make it a wrap.
I love that this place is so near me and so delicious. They make simple food with complex flavors and classical Mediterranean style. I really give kudos to the fact that everything is homemade. The parking is pretty easy since the shopping center is a good size and there is typically street parking available. The customer service is also great; I was in and out in less than ten minutes after placing my order online. The wraps are pretty big, so the price is right. For less than ten dollars, you are getting about a foot long wrap. Highly recommend!

I discovered this place randomly while going to the Starbucks next door. I saw the words «bakery» and had to see what’s poppin’. The first thing I had was a side of falafel, and that alone was reason enough for me to return. This might be my favorite falafel in the city. Crispy but soft on the inside and perfectly salty. They come with a side of tahini, which isn’t even necessary as they are perfect alone.
I have also had the zataar flatbread with and without cheese, both are delicious. The taste of zataar is addicting, I find myself craving the taste after trying this place for the first time three weeks ago. The feta and zataar salad is my favorite salad of their’s. The cabbage salad is good, but heavy on lemon juice. My girlfriend had the beef and cheese zataar flatbread is also delicious! My new go to for middle eastern food!

My adult daughter and I were hungry about 3:30 since we didn’t have lunch but dinner woulnt be until 6:30. We decided something lite. I have been wanting to try this place. We stopped in and ordered a falafel wrap.(About $ 8) We asked them to cut it in half so we could share. Boy am I glad we did. It was huge and had a lot of flavor! It was SOOOOO yummy! The service was quick. Inside was very clean with a nice little patio dining in the parking lot. Not a very fancy place but quite nice.
Nuts, now I have a craving for another.
They have breakfast items as well. I’m going to have to try that! I can’t wait to try many of their menu items
They all look good.
Good for breakfast, lunch or a casual dinner or take out.
They are located in a shopping Plaza with good parking.

This place has excellent food! I am vegetarian, and they have plenty of good options for me. Best falafel I have had in LA so far.

So I went there recently and look around and noticed the menu kind of different. Kind of hard to understand. I noted that they a marinated, «sliced» steak and «sliced» chicken wraps. I know, sounds weird right? I went with the steak, ordered the dessert displayed prominently on the right and the wife went with the typical cheese and spinach flatbread. So they didn’t have the dessert and my sliced steak wrap sucked. First of all, the name implies slices of meat and instead you get tiny bits that are slightly bigger than ground beef. Secondly and sadly the meat quality is on par with Taco Bell. It had small pieces, and very tough. I think what makes it worse was that it gets cold quickly when you have yogurt in the wrap. I should have ordered the usual, ham and cheese flatbread which is a solid 4 stars. The sliced meat thing, not so much.
So the moral of the story is stick with the flatbread.

Fresh made-​to-​order Mediterranean — style (Lebanese) food at a reasonable price. If you’re in the mood for something different, my wife and I recommend you try Siantos in LA CRESCENTA on Foothill. Fast, friendly service.

What a great find. Tucked in the corner a strip mall next to Starbucks on Foothill, this place would be easy to pass over, if not for the power of Unilocal.It was quiet on a Sunday night, so I had no trouble getting a table. The cashier was very helpful in offering suggestions of what to get.
I had the #23 ground beef Soujouk with onions and spices. I also added cheese for an extra $ 1.25 because most everything tastes a bit better with cheese. The freshly oven baked pita bread was nice and crispy. The beef was perfectly seasoned and very tasty. There were also pickles and tomatoes which meshed well with the rest of the wrap. One of the better pita sandwiches I’ve ever had.
For dessert I had the nutella pastry. Nice and flaky with a nice amount of nutella inside, it was also very tasty. If I ever happen to be hiking in this area again, I will definitely stop by and try some of their other offerings.

Amazing amazing Mediterranean food for vegetarians! I’ve been here several times to pick up food and it’s consistently good. The young guy named Eric that works there is super nice and chatty! Wonderful service.
My favorite is the falafel wrap which can EASILY be shared by two people. What I love about the wrap is that they use the falafel mix as a spread and bake it instead of putting deep fried falafel balls inside of it. I always ask for extra falafel mix and they never charge me extra for it. Very generous of them. The wrap is also very saucy, which I love! We have tried several of their flatbreads too and they are great. The cabbage salad is sour so keep that in mind!
They have discount if you check-​in on Unilocal

Oh my! I just had the most tasty lunch ever! I ordered the marinated chicken slices wrapped in pita bread – what a delight! It has a delicious sauce, tomato, pickle and onions and it’s bursting with flavor. Best of all it was only $ 7.95 – so I had to order a second for later. Wish I lived closer. This would be my 3x a week must go to place!

This place is awesome! It’s a small bakery that has Lebanese and Armenian food. It’s an «order-​at-​the-​counter» kind of place. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu included a lot of flatbreads and wraps. Most of the wraps have chicken or beef inside, but I saw a couple with just vegetables and one with nutella.
I came here a few weeks ago for lunch and ordered the marinated chicken wrap. It was delicious and service was fast. I definitely will be back at this place when I’m in this area of Glendale again!

Excellent food, horrible phone service. I called to check if they were open and they just flatly said «no», and hung up. Not coming here anymore. I’ll probably only come if I can’t think of anything better to eat. Horrible service.

This place is amazingly delicious !!! All their items are made FRESH!
I’ve seen this place several times while stopping at the Starbucks next door. I always said I need to give it a try. One night I called my usual bakery to ask if they have lahmajun (Armenian pizza) and they said they ran out. So I called Siantos and they said yes we have it but we make it fresh give us 10 minutes. How awesome !! Fresh lahmajun! So I ordered 10 and picked it up in 10 minutes.
These were a hit! My guests loved them and they are about 2 – 3 times the size of regular lahmajuns I’m used to getting. They tasted so delicious and fresh!
I tried them out again today for breakfast (egg white cheese spinach). Their portions are big and omg so very delicious !!
Can’t wait to be back! Oh and most importantly both times I went in the workers or maybe even owner the second time, was so very pleasant and nice! Smile on their faces and you can tell they have a passion for their food. Each item they described made you want it because you could see the excitement and their confidence that it would be the best tasting one you’ve had yet!
Most of the middle eastern bakeries you come across people with NO smile! It was nice to see these people with smiles and a great attitude.
I will be back soon!

Ordered the mini zaatar and lahmajoon. Was ready is 15mins as they promised. They were delicious!!!
Highly recommend this place. Thumbs up

I ordered the #15, 3 and 41 with my husband the food was extra delish. They bake the bread right here on the restaurante. The taste is very traditional I loved it.
We enjoyed having the lunch here. Great price and great attention. Definitely I’m coming back to try other plates.
Great food, Great ambience and great prices.
Solid 5 stars.

Sianto is a Lebanese Armenian Mana’ish/flat bread intensive eatery in a strip mall that also includes a Starbucks & Korean restaurant. It’s a come up to the counter & order kind of place/​Nothing fancy & utilitarian. The counterpeople are efficient. Inside has enough tables & chairs, and there is a tented space outdoors to the side with a bit of greenery if eating al fresco is your thing.
Sianto’s main culinary thrust seems to be in its Mana’ish/flatbreads. This flat bread seems similar to the Naan e Lavash, which is probably one of the oldest breads dating at least back to early Mesopotamian times, pre 3000 BCE. Sianto’s flatbread is thin & initially has a warm, crispy texture at the edges. To get the best benefit from eating the Mana’ish, I believe it must be eaten as soon as it comes out of the oven for the optimum texture, flavor, bouquet, integrity of construction.
1) Lama B Ajine: «Ground beef, tomatoes, garlic, onions, parsley & traditional Lebanese spice mix» The traditional Lebanese spice mix may be equivalent to the Lebanese 7 Spice Mix which can be:
«Lebanese 7-​spice mixture
1 tablespoon finely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground Ginger»
When I was handed the bag, I unfolded the wrapping paper around the half folded Lama B Ajine. The aroma was a nice mixture of a munificent amount of garlic, tomato, dried spices, beefiness although the ground beef is more of a presence. The edges of the Mana’ish is crisped while the rest is softer.
2) Lama & Cheese is exactly the same as the Lama B Ajine but with the addition of Mozzarella cheese, which is not exactly Lebanese but went well by melting onto the entire Mana’ish & adding a mellow, sweet, dairy flavor to the more acidic tomatoes, strong garlic & spice flavours. It was folded in half for easier transport to take out so that when I unfolded the Lama & Cheese, parts of the topping came off the Mana’ish flatbread so that some parts became coated with twice the thickness of the topping & other parts had the coating totally stripped off. Hopefully, if eating at Sianto, the Lama & Cheese is served unfolded looking like a pizza.
For a more «authentic» dining experience, there is Doogh which is a yogurt drink now found throughout the Middle East but noted as far back as the Persian Empire 600 BCE & traditionally drunk with a bit of salt & mint leaves. The doogh at Sianto is in a bottle and comes in carbonated or flat. For dessert there is Bakava pastry from the Ottoman Empire Days of Turkey, & Date, Walnut, or Pistacchio Maamoul cookies, & Gourabia cookies,
I made the mistake of taking the Lama to a party that was 30 miles from the point of origin so that the Lama B Ajine and Lama & Cheese were served cold. The cooling off of both caused a loss of alluring aroma of the garlic, tomato, & spices. The flatbread lost its crispy edges. The rest of the flatbread became soggy & heavy. It was still good to eat, but not as good as when it comes straight out of the oven. So I will not rate the cold version of the Lama, but rate it when it was still hot just out of the oven. 3+ Unilocal stars for good tasting, affordable eats. Carboholics will, I’m sure, rate it higher.
PS As of 18^th June 2015: Open 7 days 8: am — 8 pm

Under new management and they changed the name as well.
That’s not the only thing they changed. Service and food has gone down considerably.
Sorry but probably won’t be visiting this place again.

Stopped by after wanting to try it for months and I can say I’m surprised. It was better than I expected. The owner was friendly and helpful.
Got the chicken and cheese wrap and my friend got another wrap with chicken and both were delicious! Definitely coming back.

I see why Unilocalers have fallen in love with this place. I’d passed by it a dozen times and always said, next time. Finally, the time was right and Mediterranean eatery did not disappoint. Good food at a good price is something I do not forget and celebrate whenever possible.
We went light on the lunch. We got a wrap and a cheese turnover. Baked falafel with tomato and tahini sauce, 8 bucks. Wish we had ordered 4. To be honest, I wish that we had tried 4 other warps on the menu because if they’re half as good as the one we had, I’d be happy. They also have tons of flat breads on the menu which I am equally excited to try. The cheese turnover was golden brown delicious. There is minimal cheese inside but at 2 bucks, I’m OK with that.
People inside are helpful and full of smiles. It rained the day we went but they have a cool, little patio area to sit an relax. Looking forward to many more lunches, hopefully sitting on that patio on a sunny day.

Eh… Sarkis has ruined me for wraps. Their elusive «only during the day sandwich made by 1 person who is sick today» forced me to seek an alternative.
Siantos is alright. It’s a little sloppy and not filled to the brim with fillings like the pictures on Unilocal.They don’t use homemade lavash like Sarkis. They use your regular packaged pita wrap, like that ones you get by the dozen from Zankou. It’s heavy and overwhelms the balance of the spice to veg filling. It’s like if you ordered a burrito and 70% of it was a thick tortilla shell. I didn’t get the beautiful char that some of the customers got. My wraps were pale and sad. Unraveled the wraps to see what exactly was inside. Vegs were meager, za’atar spread was paper thin.
Eggplant wrap 7.99 — I thought this might be a gluten free option; roasted eggplant slices spread with a garlic tahini rolled with fresh vegs? Sign me up!!! I will pay twice the amount of everything on the menu for this wrap! Turns out it’s 5 slices of eggplant with 4 pieces of mint and a couple slices of cucumbers in a pita bread. I should’ve asked exactly what was in it. It was ok. The tahini sauce pulled it together. Not what I thought it would be.
Plain za’atar 2.79 +.99 additonal veg — fat pita with a thin spread. too much bread. i couldn’t tell they had wood fired ovens. couldn’t taste it. didn’t see the char. This was very bland, even with the olives that I added to it. Disappointment all over my face.
Would not come back with Glendale right next door to me. Overrated. Not a 4.5 star restaurant, maybe 3 at best. Nice service tho.

We love this place. I never knew what a Lebanese bakery would offer, and boy am I glad I took the chance on this place.
Let’s start with the service.
The people here are some of the kindest individuals you could ever want serving you delicious food. Also, the owner who is here quite regularly is also extremely nice.
The food:
They offer primarily Lebanese pizzas and wraps. Let me tell you, I wasn’t too familiar with some of the ingredients they put in their food, but I’ve been here several times, and have had numerous items from their menu, and I must say IT’S ALL GOOD! From the Lebni, Lahmajoun, Halumi, Zaatar with Feta and the classic Nutella with banana wrap. The baked falafel wrap is bomb! Yum!
The ambiance:
Parking can be a pain because this place is located in a strip mall. In all, it’s a nice small store. I wish it was a little bigger, but overall it has seating outside if the weather is good.
The prices:
Very reasonable! I can feed my 2 kids and wife for under $ 20. Great bargain for the quality food you receive.
Cheers!

First Lebanese restaurant I’ve ever tried… to my knowledge, that is.
Gotta say, it’s not bad! Their oven-​fresh flat breads come out super fresh and hot; you can tell the breads are made fresh daily. Service is also good; the lady cashier is a lot more attentive and friendly than the male cashier I’ve met in the two times I’ve visited.
Food I’ve tried in order of preference:
— #4 Lahma-​B-​Ajine @ $ 2.79 (⁴⁄₅ stars): Lean ground beef mixed with tomatoes, garlic, onions, parsely and traditional Lebanese spices. This was my favorite one as it has all my favorite ingredients in it. To be honest, tastes just slightly like American pizza… haha. Best price as well; if I came back I would definitely get this one again.
— #8 Beef Esfiha @ $ 4.25 (³⁄₅ stars): Lean ground beef mixed with pomegranate sauce, onions & traditional Lebanese spices. The sour taste of the pomegranate was prominent in this particular oven-​fresh flat bread. I normally really enjoy sour tastes, but it was just a tad overwhelming — overpowering the beef flavor. Still decently good!
— #30 Zaatar Extra Wrap @ $ 3.99 (³⁄₅ stars): It had a strong taste of black sesame (if I’m not mistaken). But I enjoyed how healthy it tasted, with plenty of veggies including cucumbers & tomatoes.
Verdict:
I want to come back and try their other options! Since the prices are pretty reasonable, it definitely won’t hurt. Plus, that banana & nutella wrap looks so tempting!!!
