"Old Sasoon Bakery in Pasadena is a family-owned bakery and restaurant that has been in operation for more than 70 years, feeding its community with classic Armenian breakfast, sweets, and snacks. Inside feels warm and welcoming, framed by a deli case full of pints of hummus, cheeses, tangy yogurt, and assorted savory pies. The dining room, remodeled in 2023, now has 32 seats - offering plenty of space for big groups."
"Khachapuri is a long-standing favorite, served piping hot and filled with a generous amount of salty, fresh cheese. Find crackly, crusty bread on the outside with a more plush texture inside; a single egg gets cracked into the center of this vessel. I like to include spinach and basturma, or cured Armenian beef, which makes the dish feel more like a meal."
