We stopped by Cedar Bakery at 10 AM for breakfast and tried a variety of items: Kafta bread – The spices weren't to our liking, 6/10. Meat bread – Had too much tomato for our taste, 6/10. Zaatar and cheese bread – Delicious, 9/10. Spinach bread – Absolutely fantastic, 10/10! The dough was flavorful and tasty, though it had a slightly sweet undertone. Initially, we were considering a 3-star rating, but the incredible spinach bread bumped it up to 4 stars. We'll definitely be back for more of that!

Food was very delicious. We come here often. All staff are very nice and friendly, especially a lady on register was very kind. I would give 10/10 to their customer service.

The bread is delicious and worth the visit. It’s a great place to order to go. I don’t even recall how many times I’ve stopped by. On weekends not enough seating or dirty tables. If this improved it would make it more appealing to eat in. The quality or size of the food items has not changed. I’m glad they keep the consistency even if the price has to increase.

I am a BIG FAN. I am a first timer to Cedars Bakery, and couldn't be more pleased and delighted. Amy is welcoming and the owner is kind and takes good care of his business.... You can tell! The chocolate croissant hits that spot, and the patrons are laid back and chill. Thank you for letting me share a meal with you. Very special place

Houston Eater mentioned Cedars which made me try it while I was near. It is fresh and fast at a great price! The Kafta and Cheese was very good, but the Sojok was excellent! You can clearly taste the various spices that are in the meats. The bread was also soft and fluffy to accompany the flavorful toppings. Absolutely worth a visit! If you are looking for a flavorful lunch under $10 bucks, this is your spot.

I randomly found this place and have loved every visit here since. Living in the Middle East I love all the baked items and missed it when I came to the USA. Simple but very tasty would be the best way to describe what Cedar Bakery serves. This is a Lebanese bakery. The cheese pies and meat pies are my favorites in this place. To be more specific the Meat Bread and Haloum are my absolute favorites. I have tried the others but what stands out is the slight saltiness of the Haloumi cheese and when it is melted it is amazing. The meat pie is a simple ground meat with onions, tomatoes, and light seasoning. The Zatar is also good and is worth trying if you have never tasted Zatar before. You can also get meat and cheese on the same pie or half cheese and half Zatar. I have tried the Sojok and Kafta and are not my favorites. They have some smaller appetizers like the spinach pockets filled with potatoes and one with cheese. They do get super busy on the weekends because they do serve Shawarmas. I did try their shawarmas but did not find it so captivating that I would order it or long to order it on the weekends. It is reasonable but has very basic seating. We went there as a team from work for lunch and enjoyed it. But if it does not meet your preference it's much easier to get it to go. They also make Pita bread and I get the thinner Arabic bread which is good for wraps and for dipping with hummus etc. Go experience it. I love going there because it is Unique and one of a kind.
