Baghdad Bakery & Market أفران و أسواق بغداد

I’ve been shopping here for years and absolutely LOVE their freshly baked bread Iraqi samoon bread. If you love bread, then you’ve GOT to give this a try. It is so fluffy and delicious!! I love buying thing in the grocery section to compliment it like a creamy labneh. Their bread is also a nice break from the norm if you make sandwiches. Just slice the bread open like you would do with pita bread and insert your preferred deli meats, cheeses, and/or condiments. It’s heaven in your mouth.

This is a family owned business- the brothers who manage this store are very kind and very professional. I had one of them make six Samoons ( I hope I spelt it right) for me and I really appreciated the gesture. One of them explained the ingredients that some of the baked items were made up of. He also told me how he was related to the folks who ran the store in a different location in the same plaza. I enjoyed the conversation. The store was so clean and was so well maintained. Today's encounter with the store owners felt like blessing.

Very clean and well stocked petite market. I loved the Iraqi style pita bread fresh baked on premises! Warm and friendly owner. I will return when in the area.

It was our first time trying samoon and it was delicious! I think it was the freshest bread I’ve ever had- practically straight out of the oven. We dipped the bread in both hummus and labneh (similar to cream cheese). We also tried the baklava which was great. The store is welcoming to people of all backgrounds! They accept credit cards ($5 minimum purchase) and had Apple Pay.

They have hot Flatbread (roti, chapati,) cultural delight. Enjoyed seeing some familiar home goods.
