Le Mirage Pastry, Anaheim CA

Every kind of dessert and cake and baklava and beautifully laminated, buttery pastry. I don't understand how such an unassuming, mid-range-priced mom and pop shop is able to have such a wide variety, and with each individual item seeming like it's gotta be the one famous item everyone flocks to the bakery for. With its Arabic and French pastry fusion, my headcannon is that an Arabic family graduated France's most prestigious pastry school and then opened shop here.

We got one of every kind of baklava. They're all somewhat similar in flavor, but a completely different textural experience. Crunchy/tender, flaky/moist, pillowy/dense. A lot of them start out with a satisfying crunch and then just turn to butter in your mouth. A freakin festival of culinary textures. They were sweet, but not too sweet, nutty, caramely, brown sugar-y and perfect.

The thing we actually went for was the dark chocolate cake which, unsurprisingly, was phenomenal. Deep chocolate flavor, moist, not too sweet, and some sort of aromatic or subtle flavor that I couldn't place but that I really liked. Rose water? Bergamot? I don't know but I would love another slice.

A lovely gentleman with the jawline of Henry Cavil helped us, was super kind, and just seemed like he genuinely enjoyed his job. Be warned ladies, you might show up for the sweets but stay for the eye candy.

The best pastries and cookies ever, this cookie place has been here for a long while. The customer service is great and the sweets are amazing. Baklava is what I usually love.

The cream filled Baklava was not crispy and not fresh. And the kunafa was not at all good.

Sub par tasting kunafe
Cream filled bakhlava were good in quantity but the taste was poor. I was expecting better

The guy weighed the box after covering it and stapling it and putting it in a bag.
The sweets should be weighed before not after all the packaging is done.

Came here for the Syrian ice cream and bought way more! Firstly, this was my first time trying Syrian ice cream and it was so delicious! I will definitely crave this frequently! If you come here, do NOT leave without buying the Syrian ice cream. Other goodies I purchased include cakes and cannoli, all very good! The owner is super nice which always makes the experience better.

My husband and I love coming into this pastry shop, very pleasant service and my favorite pastries. Thank you Le Mirage Pastry!

Great pastries however i could not get anyone to come from the back to take my order. And i yelled very loud.

I can appreciate your response it does not explain why someone was walking back and forth with trays. They looked at me but would not come out.

Maybe you can post prayer times so we know when you are closed. I drove a few miles to come to the shop. Thanks.

Tried the booza ice cream in a small tub a few weeks ago and it was good so I paid almost $100 for the rolled version today and it was super disappointing. It had a weird texture so I don't know if they tried to cut corners and tried adding too much corn starch or what. I really wanted this place to be good but it disappointed: (

Horrible horrible! I payed 125$ for a cake and soon as I make it home it’s in complete shambles! This has never happened to me before and he will not give me any of my money back. I have to present this trash looking cake to my 11 year old and her friends. He made me take a picture with the cake before I left knowing he just finished the cake and it was going to fall apart! Horrible

Amazing, Amazing! We bought the knafe and kasitaa its really tasty we love it
Great service
Thank you very much
We really enjoyed it

Good and tasty desserts. Strongly sweet flavors. The cakes were soft and fluffy. The fillings were sweeter than what my pallet is accustomed to. Their cakes and small bites taste like small candy bars so I can finish a meal with just a few bites and save the rest for later. Worth the trip.

Wonderfully friendly staff.

The ice cream is very Delicious.the owner need to smile more often and turn the AC is on and clean the sink behind the counter.

Came to this place all the way from San Diego and it was worth the driving. Everything I got was delicious. The girl at the front was great just need to be nicer and smile more to attract more customers. This place got great potentials to be a known brand. Le Mirage let me know if you are trying to expand I will be more than happy to collaborate with you.

I love Arabic coffee and baklava. Their pasties are excellent very tasty and so is their Arabic ice cream. The service is excellent very kind and courteous young girl who helps with the order and the owners are the best. This is a classy very nice place to go enjoy a cup of good coffee and buy or eat a few deserts. They are all very fresh and tasty
Thank you LA mirage for the best bakery one can go and truly enjoy time and have the best cakes pastries and baklava

Went there for the first time after being curious forever. Everything looked delicious and actually was delicious. We tried the lime gelato which was amazing. We tried the eclairs and cannolis - THE YUMMIEST! Thank you:)

This place sells the worst Knafeh I've ever tried. It was horrible and cold. Couldn't even warm it up properly because they only had cheese on the bottom and it melted. I will never come here for Knafeh. Horrible

Days and days of baklava and other amazing pasties. The Syrian ice cream is out of this world.
