Alida's Bakery

Wow. Best Baklava Ever. I originally came here just to try their croissants, which I saw on Instagram Reels — and they did not disappoint! Every croissant I tried was incredibly buttery and perfectly crisp with beautiful layers. But the highlight of my first visit was definitely the baklava. It was absolutely fantastic — the best I’ve ever had. I’ll be coming back just for that. Also, the person at the front who helped with packing and payment was very kind and friendly. Great experience overall!

Finally had a chance to stop by Alida’s and glad I did. The staff was very friendly and they had so many croissants to choose from. The cherry croissant was delicious. Very flakey light. And their baklava is the best I’ve ever had. I must have arrived at the perfect time because it was nice and warm with plenty of honey. Will definitely be back!

Best croissants that we have eaten in Seattle area, the fillings are not too sweet, very creamy and tender. Baklava is very authentic, reminds of the Turkish ones!

To say this place is incredible is an understatement. I have never had the privilege of having a croissant straight out of an oven before, until today that is. I was lucky enough to have a WARM blueberry croissant and it is now in the "top 10 things I have ever eaten." Absolutely wonderful. And the breads and baklava also hit the nail on the head. Can't wait to visit the bakery again.

Found this bakery through instagram and we’ve been back multiple times in the last 2 weeks. The croissants are always fresh and you definitely have to try the Dubai chocolate!

It is a small store, but the owner/worker was really friendly, and the desert was so yummy. We tried Baklava and cream filled croissants, and it was so delicious.

So delicious! I enjoyed the cherry croissant. I will definitely be back to try other flavors. Friendly service and conveniently located

We stopped to charge our car and noticed the sign for this bakery on the adjacent property. The Google reviews were positive so we wandered over(towards the back corner of the strip mall) and purchased some of their made in house Dubai chocolate and a variety of croissants. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. The products are delicious! The butter croissants are light, flakey, buttery and the pistachio and blueberry fillings are flavorful, slightly creamy, and light. We felt the strawberry croissant which did not have any filling was good but the strawberry in the batter did not really come through. The Dubai chocolate was really good and I liked it better than the original bar as the pistachio layer is creamier. You do need to keep this item refrigerated due to the creamy filling. We will return again to try their pita. Definitely a hidden gem!!!

Disappointed during my first visit on Monday, June 16, at 12:30, I found they had hardly any items. No white pita bread. No deli items. They said it was a slow day and that they were not baking much. Go figure. They told me to come back on Thursday when they would have more.

This place is an Everett GEM. All the pastries are incredibly delish, you can taste the high quality ingredients and passion the owner puts into his products. One of my favorite things from here is the pistachio cream they make from scratch for everything, it's to die for. I've had it in a croissant and in their Dubai chocolate bark which is also amazing. It's not too sweet, but the right amount! The fresher baked pita here is also amazing, we love to eat it with fresh Italian sausage or with hummus. Their za'tar bread is also great! I highly recommend stopping in to try this place, or making the journey just to try it!

Absolutely delicious and well priced :) There were a few men in there making everything fresh and they were so sweet to my son. I'll be sure to bring back my family and friends to try everything else, I came in right when they opened so I assumed they were still stocking up.

Thick & perfect dark crunchy chocolate blankets a well balanced sweetened cheesecake topped with pistachios! Your eyes feast on a treat that looks like Christmas & tastes like heaven! Don't walk, run and buy one, you'll need the exercise because you might grab a second one for the way home! As my husband & son said...****AMAZING Alida's you did it deliciously superior ! One of a kind!

10/10 pistachio croissants, baklava and Knafa! Go early though because the baklava is sold out if you don't get there in time. Knafa is baked fresh after you place an order. They also have Dubai chocolate that they make in house-- it's mid, a little kinda lacking in the kataifi filling. I've made it at home before and prefer a thicker bar with less chocolate and the pistachio cream and kataifi texture being the "main event". Overall, good place to try yummy baked goods! I met Mo and he shared they wholesale their goods around the state of WA. Great way to support small businesses! I'm a big supporter local businesses

A little late to the game, but Alida's Bakery ( @alidasbakery ) came in clutch, with the world famous #DubaiChocolates !!! As far as I know, they're the only ones selling it, in my area! I had to drive to Everett, WA, but it was worth the drive, to taste those subtly sweet and nutty morsels! I even shared, with my close friend and he enjoyed them too! Their products are #halal , so it's a great gathering place, for many in the community! The kindest lady even bought me a packet of pitas, because I told her I had never been there before and she felt that I "needed to try the best, in town!" Don't forget to also purchase some of their crispy buttery #Croissants (different flavors, each week), #Manakish , #Naan , #PitaBreads , #Kanafeh and #Baklavas !!! Everything is made fresh daily and, they seem to sell out regularly - the regulars buy their breads handfuls at a time! It was crazy! Their hours are 10am - 6pm!

Having moved to Seattle recently from near the center of Arab America in Dearborn, Michigan, I was certainly not expecting to find a Kurdish bakery nearby. I decided to drop by, hoping to find some Iraqi-style khubz and samoon, which were the flatbreads I ate most in Michigan. I found that Alida's does bake samoon, but not khubz. Instead, they have a wide variety of other flatbreads, including pita, something that looks similar to sangak, Persian pebble bread, and naan, along with other baked treats. Unfortunately, all of the bread is packaged in plastic bags, with the heat causing condensation inside. I wish it were more like a traditional bakery where the bread is continuously pumped out and placed directly onto tables for the customers to choose from, but beggars can't be choosers. Large Naan ($4.50 for 4) - Thinner, slightly sweet with a good chew. Taste is nice, maybe a bit undeveloped and floury but nice. For some reason they dock the naan to prevent it from rising. (4/5) Samoon, White ($4 for 4) - Thick, pillowy with a very nicely developed chew, very bouncy. The pocket is well developed and easily separates out (I've had plenty of samoon in the past where I actually had to use a knife to widen the pocket). Very, very solid samoon. This place can compete against all of the Chaldean bakeries in Sterling Heights, MI and the Iraqi bakeries in Dearborn. (5/5) They also have knafeh, cooked to order, baklava, yogurt, gaymar, etc. Lots of stuff for me to try the next time I go! It's a bit of a trek for me to get up to Alida's Bakery, but I'm just happy there's somewhere around to get some high quality Middle-Eastern bread. Now if I could only find a place that has decent freshly made hummus...

Love love this bakery! Great service and you can see their open kitchen freshly baking goods. The croissants were so fluffy. Dubai chocolate was divineeee. Will definitely be coming back!!

Love this hidden gem! Their croissants are worth devouring. Their Lahmajoun and Zatar breads are very flavorful and their Kunafa and Baklavas can be an amazing dessert! We also always pick up Pita Pockets from there for our week lunches - really good quality and reasonably priced.

Unbelievable! What an amazing spot. Everything we had was very fresh and delicious. Service was great and very helpful explaining all options.

Alida's Bakery is Everett's hidden gem. They have some of the best baked goods Everett has to offer. From the fresh baked pita, to their amazing sweets, such as the pistachio croissant and chocolate covered cheesecake, they are a place you don't want to miss. Though their location is not front and center, they truly deserve to be. Not only is the food great, they are incredibly helpful and nice. When asking which bread to choose for making lamb arayas, they immediately pointed me to the perfect pita. These guys rock. Treat yourself and give them a try plus a follow on their instagram @alidasbakery

Wow, what a nice place. The croissants were amazing, the filling was just the right sweetness, the baklava was excellent and the pitas fresh and we have been using them all week. I was fortunate enough to meet the owner who was very kind and gave us a sample of fresh warm pita. I will return.

We went into Alida's bakery Saturday. I'm in a powered wheelchair and the parking and entrance were easy to navigate. It was our first time there and we were immediately met with smiles and welcome in from the two men working the counter. I had read the article in Live in Everett and wanted to try the pistachio croissant. There were so many treats to try. The baklava is absolutely divine, not overly syrupy. The croissant was buttery and flaky and the pistachio filling was not overly sweet with a creamy almost flavored whipped cream flavor. The REAL star was the pita's!! Its been nearly impossible to find a good pita. The one's they sell in the commercial grocery store are thin like cardboard and tear easily. Alidas are soft pliable and hold up perfectly. I made chicken salad and it was sooo good. We had the pleasure of meeting Nich the owner before we left, he was so genuine and kind. I can't recommend this place enough. It's been added to our weekly grocery trip!

Best bakery in town. Thank you we love your IG videos as well. Keep up the good work, we'll be back for sure

Get the croissant their unassuming and delicious u won't be disappointed.the baklava will leave u speechless nuff said.

When you walk into the store right when they open up, like we did, the whole area is cool and smells like freshly baked bread. For those from Middle Eastern countries, it certainly reminds of the street bread that's at home; heavenly. We ordered their viral Pistachio and Biscoff flavored croissants, and let me tell you they were delicious! Filling was light but truly flavorful, without feeling chemical. Only comment on the croissants would be that the dough tasted a bit yeasty, otherwise it was superb. Service was fast, with them automatically skipping the tip screen (so make sure to have cash handy!). Definitely coming back here and will be sure to visit for their Ramadan specials next year!

Delicious food and even kinder people behind it! You can truly taste the heart and care that goes into every dish. We sampled just about everything--my favorite was the baklava, hands down. The lahmajun was fantastic, and my kids devoured the cheese version. So happy to support a place like this!

We got lahmacun, cheese bread, filled croissants and Dubai chocolate. Everything was so fresh and delicious! The croissants tasted just like the ones we had in France, they were perfect! The service was fast and pleasant, there was this fresh warm flat bread steaming in bags that looked delicious, will definitely be going back to pick some up . This place is tucked away in the corner of the little strip mall and looks unassuming but it's a hidden gem and it's worth a visit.

Hours need to be updated!! I drove all the way from Auburn and made it prior to posted closing time, but the bakery is already closed and there's no sign. That was a very long drive and I checked everywhere on the website, on Instagram ,and on Google and everywhere it said that the bakery is closing at six. But 5:42pm it was already closed.

So glad to have Alida's Bakery close to me! Not only is everyone so kind and helpful but their pita, naan, and manakish are top tier! I've been the lucky the last few times to come in and their pita is just getting finished. The cost for a bag of pita is $3.50 for 5 pieces which I think is a great deal given the quality of the bread.

Their baklava was so juicy and delicious! We also got the Dubai chocolate was so fresh and good

Amazing desserts, especially baklava. Must try their fresh breads too, so soft. People are nice as well.

The food is wonderful! We loved the croissants, probably the best baklava I've ever had and the bread is just so well made! Definitely give it a try!!

Owner takes great pride in his bakery and you can tell by the products he serves. Everything taste fresh, homemade, and amazing. The quality and variety of options are amazing! Must try if you are in the area!

Well, don't let the shops appearance influence your decision on picking up some treats from Alidas. We got the biscoff croissant and dubai chocolate. Both items are PHENOMENAL. I'm disappointed I wasn't aware this place even existed for the past few years I've been here! The dubai was a must try after seeing it so much on my fyp but the star was that croissant! My bf and I were fighting for the last bite of it lol. Must say, definitely dangerous living so close to Alidas but can't wait to try more items!

The bakery is tucked away in a strip mall and pretty industrial feeling inside. It isn't a stop and stay place, but meant to be taken away. We got almond baklava, large naan bread, and Dubai chocolates. Everything was so delicious. I would highly recommend all of those items. I can't wait to go back to try some of the other items. It does seem that they sell out so probably best to go early for the best selection.

Alida's Bakery is one in a million. Hardly anywhere in the greater Seattle area makes lahmajun/lamacun/lahembajeen as good. They are huge! Made with a thin and crispy-edged dough and covered in a beautifully spiced beef mixture. We drive up to Everett just for these beauties! They also have other flatbreads and all kinds of tasty Kurdish cookies and desserts (that will also be familiar to Arabs), but they are perhaps best known for their fluffy, freshly baked bread. You can find their bread in a few shops around the area, such as Byblos market, but I believe you have to go to their bakery to get the flatbreads. The bakery itself is takeout only, and the service is friendly, professional, and efficient. I would say not to miss it if you're in the area, but I think it's worth the drive even if you're not!

It was amazing zatar Alida's Bakery in Everett offers fresh bread, tasty baklava, and great customer service!

Great bakery, everything is delish. Staff is super friendly! Dubai chocolate a must try.

Haven't even been here but had their honey baklava and it was delicious! The best we've ever had and guess what we had it 3 days after it was bought AND after it traveled from Washington state to California! Yes all the way to California! I had good baklava at Pike's place when I was there a year ago so when my niece who lives in Washington asked what I would like for her to send me back to CA I asked for baklava. She told me she had found a new place for Baklava that would blow me away cause it was so delicious. Alida's in Everett! So when my sister visited earlier this year she brought me some back to CA. And it's beyond delicious! Smooth, nutty, crispy, mouth watering I can taste it now! I can only imagine how much better it's fresh but trust me even 3 days later it was so delicious. Give them a try you won't regret it. Already putting my order in for my families next trip to Washington.

Decided to check this bakery out after dinner at the pho spot next door; and I'm so glad I did. Picked up Dubai chocolate, pistachio croissant, and a couple slices of baklava. Everything was delicious and just perfectly sweetened. Honestly, probably the best baklava I've ever had. I'm so glad it's close to home! Definitely coming back for more and trying their other offerings as well.

Honey baklava - fantastic! Bought a couple other things we've yet to try - but the baklava worth the trip by itself.

I'd heard a lot about Alida's Bakery and staying pretty close to the area, I just had to visit this asap! It's the smell of freshly baked bread that wafts through that sets the tone for me. We got there at almost closing time, but I saw that they were still baking, which was truly a good feeling! I mainly wanted to try their Baklava, Coconut Honey cake and buy a loaf of naan/pita. But I ended getting Manakish and Kunefe as well. The baklava wasn't like anything I've had before. It was so crispy and fresh and stuffed to the brim. Heaven! It was my first time trying Kunefe, made with cheese and vermicelli crisp tops. It was really interesting. The Manakish is usually available in different flavors. They had jalapeno, tomato, zatar available. I got the zatar. The pita was extremely soft and tender. However it was a wee bit too much seasoning for my liking. I will definitely go back for the best baklava ever and the honey coconut cake of course!!

I had been wanting to try this bakery for so long. I finally got to stop in and what a delightful experience. I wanted to get some of the manakish (a flatbread with toppings) to take home for lunch with the hubby. I told them I had been wanting to come in for a long time and I was excited to finally try the manakish. They were only $3-8 each - depending on the topping. So I presumed at that price they would be quite small. So I ordered one with pepperoni and cheese, tomato, zatar, and jalapeno and cheese. I was told they make them to order. So I waited about 5 minutes. When the gentleman came out he actually made me one of EVERY flavor. And they are bigger that I thought they would be. So he also gave me beef and a cheese - on the house. And then he gave me a free bag of pita! He wanted me to try them all. Now that is a wonderful way to treat a new customer. Needless to say - we had leftovers. My favorites - pepperoni and cheese, beef, tomato. Hubby's favorite - jalapeno and cheese. I froze the pita bread to enjoy another time. We will be back!

Alida's Bakery is located in a popular strip mall which I frequent to visit other businesses while in Everett. It had caught my attention earlier, but had stopped by on Wednesdays or Thursdays when the bakery is closed. After placing a takeout order at an adjacent spot, I lucked out and Alida's Bakery was open (1/14/22). I was excited to finally check it out after it had been recently featured in The Seattle Times and KING5 Evening. It is located at a non-descript corner of the strip mall, but clearly those in the know are here and I joined the line. There's plentiful fresh pita and flatbread on the metro shelf to the right. I overheard from the front counter being told to another customer that these are freshly baked, no preservatives, and freezes well - definitely notable pro tip! I was anticipating getting to the front counter and to see what what featured in the pastry cases. I was so giddy that I even forgot to snap a photo of the menu board. I wished that the items had signage, but thankfully the folks behind the counter were willing to field inquiries and had their system down pat to ring up and bag purchases. I hate being that person who holds up the line not knowing quite what to purchase with my first time visit. No worries there as my queries were answered with such enthusiasm and welcoming smiles. I ended up just getting three items: *Happy Honey Baklava box with four pieces each of pistachio walnut and cashew caramel baklava ($12) *two pieces of Za'atar pita, Mana'quish ($2 each) *a half pound bag of Klecha ($7) There is also something to be said visiting a spot without any preconceived notions. All I knew is that it was a bakery I had never visited and had some recent media exposure. Because once I got home and started sampling the goods, I was absolutely blown away. My Yelp tag line mentions in search of dazzling flavors and does Alida's Bakery deliver. I was also concurrently receiving DMs from another Yelper currently in Paris and the flavors were so amazing that I had to simply just focus on the moment. I actually DMed back that if I suddenly die, eating these bites made my life complete. Might as well cue the aria. Even my college age son agreed wholeheartedly when he ate the same items later in the day. I thought my favorite baklava was at a frequented North Seattle cafe. Have to say this baklava box with two flavors is tops hands down. Nice and crisp and not cloyingly sweet. Perfect flavor and texture. It got all gobbled up the same day! The Za'atar pita was so fresh, fragrant, and delicious! Za'atar is a spice mix that can be a variant of the following: oregano, majoram, thyme, cumin, coriander, sesame seeds, salt, and sumac. I wonder what the signature mix Alida's Bakery uses, all I know is that it an amazing combo of tangy, herbal, nutty, and toasty. Delicious solo, but I can see this an accompaniment to grilled meats. The Klecha was also terrific purchase - delicious date nut and cardamon pastry bites. Perfect sized amount for gift giving or to bring to a gathering. All I needed was some strong coffee or fragrant tea. I definitely exercised restraint not wanting one of each item upon my first visit. Based on their website, they also have their products at other indie shops. I'll have to recommend my nearby Mediterranean shop in Shoreline to be one of their destinations too. But there is an advantage to shop directly onsite for supreme freshness. I definitely will have to return and start exploring the pastry case - there are so many cakes, puddings, other flavored breads, and items in containers to check out. The website is also worth exploring, I enjoyed reading about what brought the bakeshop into existence. I encourage others to check it out, it evokes family warmth, the desire to share their Iraqi Kurdistan heritage, and true local, indie spirit. Major Yelp Elite seal of approval! Support family run, local, and indie. Highly recommended!

Their croissants were so delicious and so was their Dubai chocolate. Everyone working was so friendly. This is definitely my weekly stop now

If you're looking for delicious homemade middle eastern breads, desserts, and other baked goods, you've gotta check out Alida's! The bakery is pretty unique to the area and it's well worth the drive from west seattle! Ps try the tomato manakish!!

My mom told me about this bakery because she picks up pita bread from here. When I went to get some pita, it was super fresh and warm! You can taste the freshness and very tasty. I got some baklava as well and it was also very delicious. I hope to try more things here next time. This place is family owned and the service was spectacular. They make you feel as if you are part of their home. Wonderful place to check out!

Great food and great service, thank you guy for being amazing Manaeesh are great so is the bread, very soft and fresh every day

Everything I tried was excellent! Friendly and helpful customer service. I wish there was a place to sit down and eat there. If I were still in WA, I'd definitely be returning to this place/ excellent and fresh pita bread

Located at a strip mall off of Everett Mall Way, this bakery is a MUST GO for your pita bread! They bake their bread fresh and the smell is so good when you walk in. You have to get the white Samoon Pita Bread which I like to eat with breakfast spreads, curries, or soups.

i was in yesterday and even though i specifically chose the pack of dubai chocolates i wanted from the fridge case, the cashier replaced them with old ones, stake and grayish. the cashier did not make me feel welcome at all, i felt like he was a bit racist! everythings overpriced.

Great food, delicious bread! The taste is very homey! Service is quick and stuff is very friendly!

I drove from Bellevue to Everett to get some of their amazing baklava to bring to fellow students in my MBA class. I'd never had their baklava but heard from others, this place was the best. It turns out, that was a fact. I got so many compliments; everyone thought it was homemade. By far the best I've had and I'm not a huge baklava fan. I'd highly recommend Alida's for your baked goods.

Amazing family owned business. Cant recommend enough! Their pita bread reminds me of my families - closest I've been able to find.

Excellent food and great service! I'll be back and I'll bring all my friends next time!

The food and baked goods are extraordinary. We buy the flat bread and make pizza from it and also buy the pita. Simply the best and the reason why many restaurants buy their goods. Desserts are great too. Everyone is so nice when you walk in. Enjoy the food. Leave your political hate at home.

sure if they changed ingredients or supplier but recently their pitas became very dry after a short while (they were hot of the oven). That is not how they used to be. So either eat then quick or place the. In the freeze. Don'tet then dry or they become cardboard pitas. I used to drive long distance and as such bought large numbers but I won't do that again as they dried ip quickly and had to throw them away.

Stick with pita breads. We got 4 tiramisu today and what was supposed to be the light mascarpone cream tasted like lard; there was also no rum flavor in the lady fingers.
