Glendale settles into its evening rhythm. The lights along Chevy Chase feel warm. The grill at Arts Bakery & Café sends up a clean thread of smoke. Skewers hiss, tomatoes blister, and the room fills with that slow, savory aroma of charcoal.

The bakery’s roots run deep in this city. Simon and Angela Grigoryan opened Art’s in the late nineties, and the shop grew into a hub for breads, pastries, and the kind of café plates that bring people back again and again. 

Lights glow in the glass like a promise. Arts Bakery Glendale settles into its evening rhythm, steady and calm, with ovens humming for anyone who craves something real.

The first thing you notice is how everything tastes freshly made, how each bite suggests care.  

A good drink changes the mood of a meal. Arts Bakery Glendale treats that small grace with care. The cooler glints with yogurt drinks, sparkling waters, and coffee that wakes the palate. The range feels thoughtful and complete. It fits kabobs from the grill, pizzas from the oven, and the sweets that line the counter.

Halloween shines brighter when a cake leads the party. Arts Bakery Glendale leans into the season with wit, color, and careful craft. The shop’s Armenian roots show in the pride of technique and the love for celebration. Local lists keep mentioning the bakery when they speak about standout Armenian spots in Los Angeles, and the reputation travels by word of mouth too.

Arts Bakery draws from Armenian grill culture. Charcoal meets skewers, along with plates built for sharing. Recipes follow family habits, besides Glendale tastes and pace. You choose kabobs next to pilaf and pickles. You get smoke, spice, and a table vibe that feels familiar.

Ponchiks arrive warm at Art’s Bakery, fried golden, filled to order, and dusted with just enough sugar. The dough stays light and tender. The first bite gives way to custard, chocolate cream, or jam that spreads evenly across the soft interior. Each flavor settles differently. Some rich, some bright, and some deeply familiar. The vanilla custard finishes smooth, while the hazelnut spread adds weight and warmth. Fruit versions like blueberry or raspberry come tangy, with just enough pulp to cut the sweetness. Nothing sits in a display case.

Art’s Bakery in Glendale handles khachapuri with structure in mind. Each version begins with the same dough. It rests long, proofs slow, and bakes at high heat. The texture lands between pillowy and pliant. It doesn’t flake. It doesn’t snap. It holds weight without stiffening. The base dough carries mild tang. It balances the salinity in the cheese. The outer rim sets first. It rises just enough to build a border.

The crumb stays hydrated while the surface takes colour without turning brittle. The bakery uses high-moisture mozzarella and a crumbly white feta. Together, they melt clean. They coat the base without pooling grease.

Lunch comes fast at Art’s Bakery. You walk in, place the order, and wait just long enough. What you get is filling, warm, and ready to go. There’s no buildup. No distractions.

Art’s Bakery in Glendale prepares pizzas with hand-stretched dough and carefully selected toppings. Each pizza bakes until the base turns golden and crisp.
