Papillon International Bakery

Saw this featured in LA Eats so decided to try it. Pretty unique pastry and other salty Armenian bakery. A bit more authentic than Porto’s. Lots of stuff that I wanted to try.

They're selling Georgian food calling it Armenian That's a georgian dish from adjaruli khachapuri Of course Armenians have no culture they always have to steal from somebody else

I absolutely love the ponchikens and perashkis; they're so delicious! I was wondering if you could consider adding pumpkin ponchiks to the menu. The ladies here are very friendly as well! View menu

Such rude rude employees at both locations! It seems if you're aren't Armenian the customer service is nonexistent. Tried both locations and I definitely give up. Also, taste has gone downhill. It isn't what it used to be.

The ponchiks are absolutely amazing! They remind me of Italian zeppole. These are soft, fried dough balls filled with a delicious filling in the center. I especially love the mini ore ponchiks and often grab a box of 15 on almost any weekend. They are both delicious and affordable!

I had the chance to explore this restaurant to find something special for my customers and to try out some of their vegan options. I started with the mushroom perashki, which are mushrooms and vegetables wrapped in dough and then deep-fried. Next, I had the apricot ponchik, which is similar to a jelly donut. Unfortunately, both dishes were deep-fried, and my heart sank a little from the heaviness. When I shared the box with my friend, her comment was that everything was overwhelmingly deep-fried and tasted the same. I don’t think I’ll be returning. View menu

I visited the Glendale location and inquired about the freshness of the Napoleon dessert. The staff assured me that it was made today, so I decided to purchase 12 pieces. However, when I took them to a friend's house and opened the box, I discovered that the Napoleons had been frozen and then refrozen. There were still ice crystals in the cream, and while the dough was very soft, it should have been crispy and flaky if it were indeed fresh. This was clearly not the case, and it was disappointing that they misrepresented the quality of their product to customers.

The Ponchiks were really impressive! I was surprised since I'm not typically a fan of sweets, especially fried ones. My favorite was the Ferrero Rocher Ponchik. The Oreo Nutella Ponchiks were tasty too. However, I found the Perashkis to be a bit oily and heavy. I tried the potato, beef, pizza, and mushroom varieties. The potato one stood out to me the most, while the beef was enjoyable. The pizza flavor featured a mozzarella stick wrapped inside with slices of pepperoni, which was delightful. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the mushroom flavor as it had an unexpected acidic taste.

Went here to try some pastries. Wows, they have the normal Mediterranean stuff also some Armenian pastries. The Ponchik is absolutely Devine. You have a choice of 6 or 7 fillings. We got the Nutella and it was really good. We also got the beef Perashi, again, many options of fillings. This is really, really good. The beef fillings were so tasty and the bread on the outside was nice and crunchy. The churros are not as good as it should be. It's freshly made but by the time we got them, it was cold. Not worth the money. $9.99 for a pack of 3. You can mix the flavors, Oreo cookies, strawberry and the regular. You can get all types of coffeein the same store but runs by a different business.
