Persian pastry shop opens today in Old Ashburn

A new Persian-style pastry shop is ready for primetime in Ashburn. It’s called Four Season Pastry and it’s set up shop along Ashburn Road in the Old Ashburn neighborhood.

The Burn first told readers about Four Season back in April. A new retail and office building next door to The Wining Butcher had been constructed and the pastry shop was one of the first tenants signed.

Now, the folks at Four Season have announced that today — Saturday, October 22 — is opening day for them. Word came via posts to social media.

The bakery’s menu includes items such as Persian baklava, Persian love cake, raisin cookies and zoolbia — a sweet, crunchy Persian fritter. You can check out the rest of the Four Season menu here.

The new business comes with some legit bonafides. The owner of Four Season Pastry in Ashburn trained and worked making Persian pastries for 27 years in Iran under the tutelage of his father, who also operated a bakery called Four Season Pastry.
