Pita bread & more from the Apfel Bakery in Vienna

Our Arabic bakery on Favoritenstrasse uses high-quality ingredients, original recipes, and Austrian quality. You can taste the difference!

Apple Bakery – where experience meets craftsmanship

Our Arabic bakery combines the best of family tradition and innovation. Inspired by our fathers and grandfathers, we bake with the same passion and entirely without artificial leavening agents. Our dough is given the time it needs to mature into its perfect flavor. Using high-quality, 100% Austrian ingredients, we create baked goods that impress with their natural quality and genuine craftsmanship. Traditional baking methods and a commitment to perfection make us the premier destination for Arabic pita bread made in Austria – a delight born from a love of baking.

The traditional bakery "Tofaha" (meaning "apple" in Greek) from the Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon region is known for its quality and reliability. We are committed to upholding these culturally unifying values in our business and invite you to experience them for yourself.

About Us

Authentic taste and culture

From Damascus to Vienna

In Favoriten, Fadi Saleh and his team passionately bake up to 9,000 pieces of traditional pita bread daily. He came to Austria from Damascus as a refugee about ten years ago. Today, he runs Apfel Bakery, one of only two Arab bakeries in Austria, which has become widely known for its quality and authenticity. The specialized machinery, unavailable in Europe, makes the bakery unique and brings a piece of Arab tradition and culture to Vienna. For Fadi, pita bread is not just a product, but a connection to his homeland, to memories and history, where pita and samuli are essential staples at every meal.
