Saeid

With more than thirty years of experience in the world of pastry, Saeed Salimi stands as one of the most influential and seasoned figures in both the Iranian and Canadian confectionery industries.
He began his career as a teenager in his family’s bakery in Iran, where a deep passion for pastry was passed down to him through generations. From those early years, precision, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to flavor and quality became the signature elements of his craft.

After immigrating to Vancouver, his lifelong dedication and expertise led him to establish Laleh Bakery—a place where the authentic taste of traditional Persian sweets blends harmoniously with modern creations.
Most of Laleh Bakery’s products are the result of Mr. Salimi’s personal craftsmanship and innovation. Skilled in every stage of pastry-making—from dough and creams to design and decoration—he combines customer preferences with his unique flavors to create truly distinctive products.

Mr. Salimi believes that the secret to success lies in two essential principles:
respect for the customer, and uncompromising freshness and quality in every product.
He consistently reminds his team:

“Innovation never stops—there is always something new to create.”

Patience, discipline, and meticulous attention to detail define both his character and his professional approach—qualities that have helped Laleh Bakery become one of Vancouver’s most admired and beloved pastry shops today.
