Family Bakery

Came here after dinner, came to try some pastry. The servers were very nice. My son has serious tree nut allergies and I am glad they knew right away what we should not ordered. The deserts are light and flaky, sweet but not overly sweet. Would come back and try some entrees next time

We ordered shawarma for lunch, and it was the best decision! The chicken was perfectly seasoned and packed with incredible flavor. Every bite was loaded with fresh, delicious ingredients, and the balance of flavors was amazing. Everything tasted so authentic and satisfying — truly one of the best shawarmas we’ve had in a long time! Highly recommend.

Absolutely love this place! Every single product we’ve tried from Family Bakery in Palm Desert has been incredible—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can taste the quality in every bite. It’s obvious they use top-tier ingredients from around the world and stick to original, time-tested recipes. One of the coolest parts is the open layout—you can actually see the team making pastries, bread, and other items right in front of you. It gives the whole experience an authentic, artisanal feel. What really stands out though is the energy. The entire family is involved, and you can feel how much love and passion they pour into this place. It’s more than a bakery—it’s their dream in motion. Can’t recommend it enough.

We had heard great things about Family Bakery since we moved to Palm Desert. Having lived in Los Angeles and having been tremendous fans of Armenian food, we longed for a source of great delicacies. Anyone stopping by this morning shortly after opening time would have seen us going from display case to display case, feeling so happy to find hand made honey cakes, dolma grape leaves with rice, bakhlava, lahmajoun Armenian pizza, beef pelmeni, napoleons, carrot cake, pomegranate juice, fruit preserves, young walnut conserve, and pepper sauces. The hand made pita and smoked cheeses are so delicious! I even zoomed in on a beautiful rye bread from Lithuania. I found containers of sesame seeds for my own breadmaking. We had to step away from all these wonderful creations and we finally left with
