Sultan Bakery is Silicon Valley’s destination for Middle Eastern sweets and breads, offering an extensive menu of pillowy soft pita bread, desserts, and appetizers. The motto is “Make it now, Eat it now” – which means everything is baked fresh daily with no preservatives.

For something savory, try the Cheese Manakeesh, which is a Middle-Eastern style pizza topped with a cheesy layer of melted mozzarella and feta cheese. Other favorites include their house-made falafel, baba ghanoush dip, and hummus. For dessert, a must-try is the Pistachio Baklava baked with pure butter and filled with local harvest nuts topped with house syrup.

Locals love Sultan Bakery not only for their authentic baked goods, but also for their friendly and helpful staff. If you’re feeling indecisive, they are happy to make recommendations and give out free samples. The bakery offers a few tables inside for dining, but is better suited for take out. Visit Sultan Bakery every morning starting at 8 a.m.
