Reviews Summary
Razava Bread Co. is celebrated for its exceptional sourdough, delicious lattes with house-made syrups, and authentic Jerusalem bagels. Diners praise the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, though some find the pricing to be on the higher side. While execution of some items is noted as needing improvement, the overall consensus is a strong appreciation for the unique offerings and welcoming vibe.
"Was really excited to hear about this place opening up. I grew up in Jordan (middle east) and make sourdough myself, so hearing about a bakery that also is offering some middle eastern inspired dishes was exciting.
The food my siblings got did not disappoint and the bread we took home was good. It seems that we were given a loaf that did not have a great proof (appeared to be significantly flatter that others there) but this is bound to happen to some customer. The flavor of the house loaf however was excellent. My only issue is that for my budget I cannot afford to buy bread here regularly in any capacity.
Overall a very exciting spot (not to mention sporting a full on coffee gig with SK coffee)!"

"Heard about Razava and had to check it out. The vibe is super cool with a boutique feel, staff is really friendly, and the service is great. The food was amazing! I had the SLT sandwich and the sabich, both were delicious. The sourdough and pita were perfect, and the iced latte was the cherry on top. Definitely my new favorite spot in town!"

"We checked our Razava yesterday morning (a Saturday around 11:45am). Parking was tough given the area — a popular part of Grand Ave with lots of businesses, a one-way street, and lots of no-parking zones on side streets. But once we found a spot we were only pleased!
They were out of bagels so we both had our second choice (after the lox bagel): the whitefish toast. The whitefish itself was smoky yet mild, the avocado on top was perfectly ripe, and the house schmear underneath was so tasty! (It seemed to have some herbs and lemon and maybe a little bit of onion or garlic…?)
We bought some beef-horseradish schmear to go and enjoyed it on bagels the next day at home.
It was somewhat crowded but not too long of a wait for our food. The staff was super friendly. We’ll definitely be back again to try more items off the menu!"
