Weve been here too many times to count! Have tried the cookies, pastries and cakes. Our favorite is the mango, and fruit tarts. If you want to buy a gift for a hostess, this is a great place. The cakes are not only beautiful they are delicious. We purchased the red velvet and it was a hit with all the kids.My favorite is black forest...a very hard cake to make and find! But this is a proper black forest cake. My only complaint is that from the outside of the store its hard to tell if its open or not! We went in the late afternoon and they have to draw all the curtains because of the suns direct focus on the pastries which I totally get.But just some advice, if it looks closed from the outside,still check! Its probably just because of the hot afternoon sun.

They are very friendly. They have so many different Middle Eastern pastries to try. I tried one of almost everything so I know what I will order the next time. Problem: I liked them all! Amazing!

This is a cute little place. I bought a slice each of vanilla and chocolate cake. They were little mini pieces with layers in between. The cake was moist and the flavors were delicious. The price was decent for such cute fancy feeling cakes. They also have cookies, ice cream, and ice cream cakes. I believe you would enjoy this French pastry shop, so give it a try!

On our way out of town we stopped here for breakfast, we tried some fruit tarts and these mini bagel looking things. Everything was super tasty and not too expensive. Yosef helped us out he didn’t speak too much English but we worked around it well and he was incredibly nice.

Came to try the bouza, it did not disappoint. So many goodies to try!!

Eater had recommended the baklava and ice cream over all else and they were 100% correct. The baklava was incredible. Everything I thought I would like less was absolutely amazing so definitely recommend getting the assortment of that days freshly baked baklava. Cant wait to go back for more!

Before I compliment how amazing the icecream and pastries are .. I would like to express how LOVING the woman who works here is . Shes very sweet, great energy, patient and keeps a very tidy bakery. Thank you for being welcoming and feeding us amazing sweets lol. I love the pistachio pastry AND the cookies and creme icecream. I also tasted a puff pastry, very sweet and circle ( unsure the name) . That was delicious as well. Just drop by, IF youre ever in the area and pay her a visit. Youll be sure to find something that you love here. Enjoy!

Fresh & delicious 😋 many choices....yum

Great authentic Syrian Home-Made Food 👌🏼I’ve been a loyal customer to this place for over 3 years,The owner Mr.Maher is super friendly,His wife (who prepared the Syrian food) is a wonderful woman,My favorite here is home-made Macdous and Ready-to-cook Kebbeh.Love the food, love the people .. wish they have more locations.

The lady works there is nice. We tried mhalaia and it was excellent, Boza can be better if you add more fat to it (kishta) and Goraiba taste very good but the taste of dry milk(nido) is very clear in it. Over all worth to be visited again.

Came here specifically for the pistachio ice cream🥜🍦. Apparently that’s the thing to do. The presentation was gorgeous. Or at least the first three were... Lol had six people in my group and they kept getting uglier as they came out hahaha but no big deal😂. Taste wise, there was a lot of pistachio. Like more than the ice cream portion. And it tasted like soft mushy pistachio. Not the nice crunchy kind either. That’s why just the three average, neutral, sad stars. And I would not get that specific dessert again. 😐

Love this place ❤️ Delicious cakes 🎂 and great customer service ❤️❤️❤️

Best middle eastern desserts on the west coast for sure.

SYRIA 🇸🇾Eat the World LA review:A little over a year ago, the New Yorker published a story by Orange Countys beloved (and sometimes not so much) Gustavo Arellano covering the tale of the ice cream at Le Mirage and its journey from Damascus. Tucked away in the old city of Syrias capital, an almost 140 year old shop selling booza called Bakdash was what owner Maher Nakhal wanted to bring to Anaheim.If you have ever traveled in the Levant, you have certainly come across booza, the ice cream that stretches when pulled apart and seems to have an ability to resist melting much longer than ice cream we are used to in other places. With ingredients native to the area, this type of dessert has been made since seemingly the beginning of time. A flour made from orchid tubers called salep and the resin of mastic trees used in chewing gum are what gives the ice cream its unforgettable qualities.The bowl is served like a flower, with sliced petals of booza rimmed with pistachios. True to its promise, the stretchy fun is all there and brings back good memories for me of enjoying dondurma on sunny days in Turkey.

Got my husband a cream puff and an eclair which HE LOVED! I had the chocolate cake which had a delightful rich moist and light texture and fabulous taste! (Not that cement block texture of some choc cakes). We are transplants to CA and often bemoan the lack of quality bakeries in OC. We will drive the extra distance for these pastries!

Here you can find what might be the best baklava in all of Orange County. And they serve bouza which is a Syrian ice cream-like dessert that is really good, covered in pistachios.

Beautiful pastries in well kept cases. Staff was friendly and had good recommendations for the Baklava and what they would pair well with (coffee and tea). Beautiful taste and texture.

Best Ashta Bagdash Ice cream, pastry very delicious low sugar and very tasty . A professional chef the best in his craft

Second time trying there pastry (walnut & cream katayf) taste old I had to throw it

They serve authentic syrian Bouza ice cream. It tastes amazing!

Everything is soooo good. I gain 5 lbs every 10 minutes just standing in the store. Icecream, icecream cake, and birthday cake galore.

Hands down, the best Lebanese and Syrian sweets (helwe) in all of OC. Maher, the owner and master Baker, takes pride in every single sweet and pastry he bakes. By sampling a few of the most iconic Lebanese sweets at his shop, we could tell right away that we were going to love everything. It is also evident that he uses quality ingredients. His sweets and pastries taste just like my Grandmas.Were so glad we came across this bakery!Thank you Maher for your hospitality, well be coming back quite often.

Best ice cream ever 👌 I love it 👍😋

Delicious Tiramisu cake and its pastries

They always have the best sweets so delish.

Awesome cake and service!!

Great place for fancy desserts. I will definitely be going back soon

Best place for Middle Eastern Desserts I love the cookies and cakes plus Delicious catering food.

I wouldve given this pastry shop 0 stars if I could. We got a Baklava today with some other pastries. They were all clearly not fresh but the Chocolate Eclair one that is shown in the picture actually had mold all inside it, not just a little part. Worse than that is that we called the store to let them know and they said theres no way and they asked us for proof. We went back to the store to show it to them and the owner was there so we talked to him and he took the pastry from us and told us its not mold, which it obviously was, he told us theres no way and hes giving us a refund and then he literally kicked us out of the store.I’ve heard from other people that their owner and overall their customer service is really bad and they are rude and now I can see why they’re saying that.This is not a matter of money and refund at this point anymore, this issue is hazardous to health and we will definitely report them. Just wanted to post a review here so maybe it could help some other people

The best kneefa and arabic sweets in town!

Apparently Ive never had anything close to authentic french pastries, because this stuff was really good! I imagine its as close as you can get to real with out actually going to France...

Unprofessional job nothing match the picture the cake was hot the cream start melting after we pick it up

The rating about this middle eastern pastry shop is wrong. One star is too much. Worst pastry I ever bought in United States !

Great place for Middle Eastern sweets and French pastry at Great prices.

Probably the best desserts in the surrounding area. They have a wide selection to choose from and I dream of their baklava.

Got a stomach flu after purchasing pastry from this place. Also their prices are considerably higher than the other places. I feel I was robbed purchasing from these guys. Will never buy from them again.

Excellent place and super clean and very good customer service. I like the place a lot. And I recommend it to all

A variety of Syrian style treats. Several flaky baked goods made with pistachio or dates pr cashew. Cakes with fruit or coconut and/or chocolate. Also, you can get slices of an array of fruit/coconut/chocolate cakes, mouse, pastries. Great service as they explain what each item is. Great gem of a place in a plaza that has a Grannys Donuts.

Amazing choices

Found this place from the NY Times article. Glad I took a minute to stop by. The ice cream was delicious and nothing like typical American ice cream. Highly recommend stopping by for the ice cream. They also have pastries and cakes, but sadly I didnt get a chance to have some.

First time tonight, and definitely wont be the last. Beautiful and creative pastries, and they taste even better. Staff is very friendly, family oriented and understand what customer service means. Definitely a must go to place!😊

Fantastic pastries with a very large variety to choose from. Same with middle eastern and Mediterranean desserts. I highly recommend the baklava and eclairs. The whole cakes are delicious and great for any occasion. The staff is friendly and very well versed in handling specialty cakes.

I love all type of dessert they offered not only to CA, but across United States. I ordered dessert for an event at Western Kentucky University and most people attend my event asked for phone number . This bakery is well known. Clean, verity of French and Arabic dessert. If you pay a visit you will agree with me. Enjoy your first experience and I promise you you will be back.

It was our first time coming here and their cakes and other pastries were very delicious. The service was really great and the staffs were friendly. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Great customer service very clean location amazing desert great quality in everything love this place will be my go to place from now on when I need cake !

I really liked this place, the booza stretchy ice cream was really cool and tasted really nice. The lady was really nice too and the baklava was super flaky and delicious! Highly recommend!

Located in a small strip mall with free parking. All of their pastries are both beautiful and delicious! It was hard to decide but we ended up having their baklava, chocolate mousse Bombay, and Arabic ice cream 10/10 would recommend. The larger cakes are gorgeous as well :)

Love this place! This was our first time here and the man behind the counter was extremely pleasant and helpful. He even gave us samples. We ordered a variety of pastries and each one was delicious! We will definitely be back!

As always the best of the best. Top notch pastries and excellent service, very consistent and hospitable. Highly recommend.

Wow! Tried the Bouza ice cream...unbelievable! I might have to move theyre way too close to home. Could easily turn into a full blown addiction! Not really into sweets, but this stuff could turn me.

Best Arabic sweets in the county!One of the only places I know that serve authentic sweets

Great place to get Arabic desert. They have Arabic ice cream. I get to try a sample and i become a loyal customer. Whenever I come to Anaheim I have to come to this place. Thanks Maher for your great food.

The best pastries ever. Single serve or full cakes... theyre all amazing!

Everything here is delicious just enjoyed pistachio ice cream and going back for more.

Just great customer service

When you will go through the (unflattering) doors, you will find a paradise! All the pastry (Syrian, European and American) are delicious! I definitely recommend this place and I will miss it when I will be back in France!

Do not buy the raspberry tart! This is the third time I tell them that the raspberries had mold on them and they’ve done nothing! This was my favorite place to also buy baklava. I called over the phone and told the lady that they were stalled and said that they couldn’t be since they are made fresh everyday and they couldn’t do nothing for me. Just lost a customer

Saw this place on BuzzFeeds Tasty channel on an issue of Edible History with @Harto making Booza ice cream. It looked so good we had to try it. The Booza was great!!! Not too sweet and just enough rosewater to give it a hint without being overpowering. We also go to variety trays of small deserts for a BBQ. Totally worth the trip!

Outstanding quality sweets. They have all sorts of cakes, my favorite is the chocolate ones. They have the best Hareesa in town, dont bother going anywhere else. They even have makdoooos

This place is to die for the Best Baklava on the planet and cookies and cakes .. if youre In Orange County check it out !

On October 19, 2016 I went to the store to buy a nice cake. I had bought a couple of things before and I was satisfied. I asked the man who helped me which cakes were fresh, made the same day. He mentioned a few including a large chocolate cake. I asked and I was reassure again that the cake was fresh and it was made that morning. I took the cake in a box to a birthday gathering for a child. When we served the cake, it was frozen - needed a knife to cut the slice into small bites. Most people had a small bite and the majority of the cake was thrown out. Not exactly a fresh cake.What a disappointment to the kids? What an embarassment to me? What lies by this store? I will not go to this store again. I would have bought something else if he was hones and told me about the fact that the cake was frozen.

Great kenafeh and Arabic ice cream. Maher the owner is very experienced and lives what he does.Highly recommended

Tried the kunafe at la mirage it was ok and pricey. 7$ each, that’s kinda expensive compared to other bakeries.

Been going here since my daughters were 1, good pastries and cakes and awesome service

Love this place ❤

Ive gone to this place twice, I have had a great experience great service and the pastries are fresh.

I drove all the way from Los Angeles to Little Arabia Orange County just to try the famous Damascus “Bagdash Booza” ice cream. The shopkeeper was a great host, quick service and really really delicious deserts. We tried the cheese kunafa and it was great, it was made out of real traditional cheese. This store is the only one in nation who makes Damascus Bagdash ice cream.I’m coming back with my friends soon. Thank you Maher for making this miracle ice cream exist in USA.

The best of the best bakery in Anaheim, CA. I loved all their pastries & especially their cakes. I been coming to 2yrs in a row for my family birthday cakes. Best cakes in the OC. Carrot cake, mango mousse, red velvet, chocolate, etc. They have good customer services. Fair prices. I just bought two cakes from them last week a carrot and red velvet. Both Delicious! Im never disappointes. I definitely recommend it. Love Le Mirage Pastries & Chocolate 👌👍❤️🎂👌

Our favorite bakery. Clean place.A great selection of pastries including middle eastern to choose from.Nice staff all the time.We love it!

This place like treasure full of all the various kinds of desserts .we live in Vancouver Canada And I made sure to take my family to try their kenafeh . It’s so yummy. A great surprise to know they have Arabic ice cream now . Both the kenafeh and ice cream are authentic and top notch . Felt like back home . We ordered kenafeh to take home and they packed it in a box for traveling . The owner Maher is very genuine and provides amazing customer service ! A place must go to in Anaheim !

I came here all the way from san francisco with my family to try this place because I saw the bouza article and had to try it out. Customer service was amazing the man who owns the place is very kind and treated everyone very well. As for the ice cream it was amaziiinnng. Best ice cream I have tasted here in the USA and is exactly like the taste of our traditional ice cream in damascus. I also bought the pastries as well since I came from afar and everything tastes superb. The place is very neat and clean as well. I defenitely recommend this place for everyone to try. :)

Wow. Thats amazing

I will bet that the un-named review that criticized the place was from that bakery in Irvine that they mentioned. La Mirage is a typical Syrian Bakery that has the most awesome high end desert pastries in OC.I sent some of their middle eastern pastries to Afghanistan to a soldier on duty AND the locals in Afghanistan loved it.Prejudice is alive and well in the U.S.

It looks like knafeh but it taste totally different.

Great baklava. Get it. Get a lot of it. Staff is pleasant and very attentive.

I drive from Pomona every single time to buy their goodies its worth the drive

Wow its so good I love going there and the best is the kunafa

The best combo Ive seen and super tasty

The staff were not friendly, and went inside before taking our order so we had to leave.

Pastries are very good..

I recommend this place. Is delicious

The best Knafeh in town, great cakes too..
