A one of a kind mixture of Mediterannean cuisine, French pasteries, Italian gelato and much more. The Persian phrase “shaad zee” translates to “living happy” and our belief is that the wonderful food and delightful dining experience we provide at the family-friendly Shaadzee Bakery Bistro will definitely make you happy! Our unique blend of Mediterranean and European specialties is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team, Farhad Iranitalab and Stella Madadian (a former champion athlete). Their love of cooking and baking for family and friends inspired them to open the doors of Shaadzee in 2009 so everyone could enjoy their great food. Located in the heart of Pleasant Hill, California, across from the theater, we offer you a comfortable yet chic spot with both indoor and patio seating to enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Shaadzee serves up excellent Eggs Benedict and French toast, salads, sandwiches, pasta and panini, all highlighted by our enticing Mediterranean specialties such as Khoresh, Lamb Shank, Salmon Pesto Pasta, Joojeh, Persian Chicken Kabobs and Lasagna. We create these delicious dishes from high-quality, fresh ingredients. Also on the menu are great options for our vegetarian diners, such as the Grilled Eggplant Sandwich.

Afterwards, indulge your sweet tooth with a wonderful French pastry, Italian gelato, espresso, organic coffee or Persian tea. If you have saved all your calories for dessert, enjoy a cup of organic latte accompanied by a piece of our decadent Napoleon. Or try our Crème Brulee – one of the best in the East Bay according to our repeat customers.

Join us on weekends and mornings for extended brunch hours. Or come any time to enjoy a glass of beer or wine while you check out our gallery.

The classic, modern style of Shaadzee also makes the perfect setting for your private party or event. Contact us by phone or email for more information about the restaurant or our catering services.
