LA Bakery is expanding faster than a chocolate soufflé.
The Carson City bakery started life almost four years ago as Shirini Shop, selling pastries and other sweets to a long list of area restaurants and grocers and to consumers at local farmer's markets.
In June, Ali Arbabha and Leila Tavakoli, the husband and wife team who own and operate the business, opened a storefront bakery in a small house on John Street, where Molly's Gourmet Catering once was located. The shop, which offers a breakfast and lunch menu as well as cookies and cakes, this month closed off part of its patio to offer indoor seating for 20 patrons. The remaining outdoor space features seating for another two dozen in warmer weather.
Eventually, Arbabha says, they'd like to open a second location, possibly in Reno.
