Price was OK and it looked like the pastries/bread was fresh and tasty. But, for a lunch spot? Nah. Had the turkey panini they are promoting and at the recommendation of the older man behind the counter. The turkey itself was small portion and tasted pretty cheap. The panini wasn’t crisp and the cheese hadn’t even melted from the heat. Then, he refused to fill up a cup of water for me, forcing me to buy a bottle of water. He claimed he didn’t have any running water — which would be illegal if it wasn’t impossible(since they brew coffee and bake bread on-site, which both require water). Service was fine and it wasn’t a terrible sandwich, but I was far from impressed for a 4.5 star sandwich.

Just left this location and wanted to review it right away. My husband and I really enjoyed eating here. Very profession and food was incredible. We both were in the mood for sandwiches and found this bakery. I am glad we tried it out. I got the Italian panini and hubby got the hot panini pastrami. Both our sandwiches came on toasted Armenian bread(matnakash). My sandwich was very light and refreshing. Defiantly will be trying their other sandwiches.

My dad is hooked! We were craving the same panini sandwiches we had previously ordered. And by craving, I mean literally fiending! My dad loves this place. We came here in the morning, we had some delicious coffee and a yummy cheese borek. Wait, it didn’t stop there. We ordered those heavenly paninis again. Vegetarian for me and the Italian for him. My dad and I never crave the same food. This is the only place we both leave happy. By the way, their bread is the ONLY bread that doesn’t make me uncomfortably bloated. Extra plus!

The most awful experience that I’ve ever had with anyone. We ordered our food with a delivery app and the food arrives two hours late, missing my boyfriends sandwich, the food is cold, and anytime that we called them for an update they would set the phone down and hope we would just hang up. After we saw that we got a refund, we got a ring that someone was outside our door and it was the delivery guy. He had come back and demanded that we return all of the food. As my boyfriend gave him the bag with all of the food he was about to close the door but then the delivery guy pushed the door open again with a giant burly hand and wouldn’t let my guy close the door. We forgot to pack an apple juice it seems and he said he wouldn’t leave until we gave it back to him. I was in the next room and I got so scared that he would just barge in. I was getting ready and was not in a position to be seen. My boyfriend did give it to him and he did leave. One star is too generous to give to these jerks.

I love Golden State Bakery. Boureks and paninis are delicious and crispy. The Pirozhki is sinful. When I placed my first order, they called me to let me know they may take a little more time because the raisin bread was still in the oven. When it came it was warm and absolutely perfect. The man that delivered to my office was sweet and smiling, and apologized for taking a little longer and told me that the raisin bread was fresh. It certainly was! — And worth the wait. They weren’t even too late to begin with. Great customer service. Great food.

I went in and asked for a ponchik. They were still making them so I got a potato Pirozhki and a small cookie instead. The pirozhki was warm and delicious. The cookie was not too sweet and had the perfect crunch. It is inexpensive and worth a visit. I walk by the store every other day so I do plan to go back for a ponchik.

Some of the best food in Hollywood and the bakery has some fresh sweets. The customer service is unbelievable they know how to treat a customer.

Golden state is my #1 choice for coffee and a snack! Want an amazing fresh baked pastry? Follow your nose in the morning as you walk down Hllwd. Blvd. in Little Armenia/Thai Town, you smell fresh bread wafting in delightful ribbons right out of their front door. This is a small, old-world charm bakery and deli that cranks out a surprising variety of dishes. Their sandwiches are scrumptious and gigantic(one is good for two people). I suggest getting your sandwich panino style, pressed in a grill so the outside is crispy and the inside steamy goodness. Prices are very reasonable. The owner, Arsen, and his family are so genuine and accommodating, you will feel right at home. I support establishments like this, family owned and operated, because the quality and value is so over the top of McStarbuks and clones. I could keep going on with the review, but my belly is grumbling for something toothsome at Golden State and its just down the street…

Come by to get their yummy PANINIS! These crispy, delicious paninis are to die for! They can special make your order any way you like! And the employees are so so so nice! If you aren’t feeling like having a panini then grab some of their pasta salad! Pesto pasta salad is so so bomb! And their chicken salad and sun dried tomato salad! My mouth is watering as I write this! They have so many different pastries and treats! Definitely come by and enjoy all the yumminess! So glad I found this hidden gem!
