Old Sasoon Bakery, is one of L.A.'s best places to find traditional Middle Eastern flatbreads and cookies. It's legacy stems from Joseph Geragosian, whose father Haroutioun founded back in 1948 in Aleppo, Syria. It continued to be a family affair in Pasadena since 1986. They're best known for supple flatbreads like lahmajoune, topped with ground beef, tomato, onion, garlic, and parsley; and maneish, slathered with za'atar. Old Sasoon Bakery also sells flatbread sandwiches and boat-shaped khachapuri, a boat-shaped Georgian flatbread with a blend of cheeses, cracked egg, and Aleppo pepper.
