Ali Arbabha and Leila Tavakoli, a dedicated husband-and-wife team, founded both a wholesale brand and a bustling Bakery Café. This establishment boasts a diverse selection of sweets, pastries, deli sandwiches, wraps, salads, and an expansive breakfast menu. Since its humble beginnings as Shirini Shop in 2009, where they sold their iconic baklava at local farmer’s markets, the duo's L.A. Bakery has been on an upward trajectory. Residing in Carson City, they personally oversee its operations.
