I have visited quite a number of baklava pastry places and tested them out. This is unquestionably one of the finest bakeries I have ever visited so far. From the very high-quality ingredients, to the good consistency of making each baklava piece, as well as the great freshness of the products, all areas are simply top-notch in the business! Aside from the artisanal baklava, they also have cookies, chocolate, cakes, and macaroons. Simply irresistible. LOL. Take a look at my photos, you will get the idea instantly. At the end of the day, these are all sweet treats that you cannot eat too much at a time. So, it will be such a nice feeling to bring the baklava back and share them with friends, families, and loved ones. Such a beautiful baklava place. An absolutely delightful experience. No wonder they call themselves Baklawa King! read more

First time trying Arabic sweets!! The lady that was working here was so nice. She also makes all the sweets. Mind blowing since they have like 100s! I has the best Turkish coffee ever thanks to her. She left customers to go make this for me. Super sweet. But let's talk sweets. Like so many. Baklava, kunafa! Other things I can't pronounce. They are sell by weights so it can get pricey. I literally had sweets for lunch. So much sugar. Tried 3 different kinds of Kunafa. Cheese one was my favorite. Turkish coffee definitely helps with all the sugar. She made it so well too. What's not to like. read more

-Excellent pastries and assortment of cheese & syrup-infused Baklava treats. However, the covering was slightly less crusty than expected for most, making it a lighter option in Baklava City with only a single wrap turnaround and syrup Honey, which although good, initially left me with a crystalline aftertaste. On another note:The cheese found in some options was as tasteless as curd cheese and in need of a pasteurization of Spices itself for not only more homogeneity in taste detail in terms delicacy tasting and crispness of mixture in blended parts of nuts, cheese,seeds: Great pastries nonetheless. read more

Awesome place. It's a small, focused business with quality sweets. It's clean and friendly. Everything you could want in a dessert place. If you are craving dessert this place is a great choice. read more

A quick place to grab some baklawa to go! ATMOSPHERE: Small shop in a strip mall. It's been there a while, but it's a bright and clean shop. There are some seats (they do sell a few beverages too), but really a take-out place first and foremost. SERVICE: Fast. It's a small place, and they fill orders quickly. Staff are helpful with recommendations. PRICE: Very affordable. FOOD: Large selection of baklawa, mammouls, pastries and other treats. read more

4-4.5*, but bumped up the rating 'cause it's easily the best baklava in 'ssauga! I realise that doesn't say too much, but it sure beats Paramount and Adonis. :))) And although it's on the edge of town, it's better than driving out to Patisserie Royale...in Scarb! I got $10 worth of baklava today and doing my math, it's probably one of the "cheaper" dessert options at approx. $1/piece! The pieces are fairly small, so you can easily eat like 3 different (or same) pieces in 1 sitting. You probably SHOULDN'T, but you can, just sayin'. The 3 varieties that I ate today were almost on par with Patisserie Royale. I have to go through the rest of the box before I make a final determination! For some reason, this batch tasted better than my last review. Waaay better than the crap that passes for desserts/sweets at Starbucks, a doughnut, or anything else from Tim Horton's! Place itself is clean, but doesn't lend itself for chillin' out. There is outdoor seating, but NO ONE ever takes advantage of it. So just take your goodies 'n enjoy 'em elsewhere! read more

Best delicious, fresh nutty sweets taste you will ever try in Canada Coming from "Shakarchi : sweets makers family" we know our baklawa very well. We tried the while collection. And since 2014 we were frequent costumers in Mississauga store and now so pleased to go and try Merivale/ Ottawa branch same great quality, more over the warm and generous costumer service! We are lucky to have this store in Ontario's big cities! P.S. We catered our wedding deserts from Baklawa King, delicious, presentable and WOooWed the whole Canadian audience! Highly Recommended for sure :) read more

As a person who grew up in Damascus I can attest to just how good their baklawa is! So fresh and just sweet enough. They have gained quite a reputation among the Arab community in the GTA for a reason. read more

I've had a craving for kanafeh ever since a friend of mine brought his homemade kanafeh to a potluck. After an extensive online search, I came up with a few places that seemed quite promising - Baklawa King and Patisserie Royale. I decided to stop by Baklawa King, as it was on my way home today. The place is rather cramped inside, with only a few small tables by the door. The display cases are neatly stocked with a large variety of Middle Eastern treats, included baklava (obviously), mammoul, mafroukeh, and kanafeh. The kanafeh was good, but I prefer the kataifi crust to the semolina crust that is used here. The cheese was nice and mild with just the right amount of salt, although it was a bit too chewy for my taste. Syrup was added just before serving. I think the server was a bit heavy handed on the syrup, as it was bordering on too sweet for me - which is saying a lot because I have quite the sweet tooth. I also feel like the syrup could have used some (or more) rose water, as it was not at all perceptible. Overall, it seems like I am still on the hunt for my perfect kanafeh, but this was a decent alternative. Next time I will probably try their namesake pastry instead. read more

My boyfriend regrets the day he introduced me to baklavas. I love them so much!! And the ones we recently got from Baklawa King was exactly what I was craving for. We got half a kilo and I can't stop eating them! The gentleman that took our order was kind enough to give us 3 different pieces of baklavas to try. Whenever you're in the area, drop by and try some!! read more

I can't believe how good the pastries are in this shop! Don't go for the boring baklawa (although Baklawa king truly offers the best Baklawa in Ontario), try the other stuff as well. I have just had the Karabeej and the Mafroukeh. OMG, what a delight! Smooth; just melts in your mouth, great texture and flavora. read more

Baklawa King - That's what's left from my Karabeej. (Were 8 pieces) So be careful, highly addictive! - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Best mediterranean sweets in town, make sure you visit any of two locations and you will fell in love. Coffee is amazing as well , anything at this place is amazing! read more

Went here the other night just before they closed. Ordered an assortment of baklava and when I got home and put them on a table I noticed there was a bug that was in the bag. Will never get food from here again! read more

I bought an assorted platter as a gift bc I wasn't sure what to get. I'm glad it was a gift and not something I had to take home bc every single variety was addictive, delicious and worth the sugar spike. The premade platters are on the pricey side (about $55) but well worth a special occasion (besides it feeds a lot of people since they're meant for bite size portions). I'm usually not a big fan of rosewater but they have some varieties flavored w rosewater and those were my favorite. read more

Got an assorted couple kilos of baklava from this place and its delicious. I've had baklava in Dearborn and this place gets somewhat close to that quality, presentation, and freshness. Definitely will be my goto place in the GTA. Prices seem a bit high but I never know what it should cost. I suggest having a less sweet option on the menu! read more

RUN, DON'T WALK & get some of the BEST baklawa & Lebanese pastries!! These are the best patries I have ever had in the city. Thisplace has spoiled me for other place. They have a couple of tables. I only did takeout & didn't try the coffee there. I willdo that next time. Do yourself a favour & try them. It is worth the drive. read more

I have not frequent this place for many months. I have been desperately trying to find a replacement after moving out East of the city. Searching far and wide and scouring through magazines, Yelp and online articles for a Baklava greater than the King. I have had the best in the Scarborough area, tasted the greats in North York and devoured the refined in downtown Toronto in the recent months. Yet every time with every bite it pales in comparison the the King. Even my partner was foolish to think she had found the new King out in Scarberia but it was I that reminded her that her judgement has been clouded from longing for the true King for so long. I had to take her back here and remind her just how great this place really is. It took one bite and she felt horrible that she has been deceived once too many times. This IS the best baklava the GTA has seen and it remains for now. read more

This is for the service only. We were excited to try it out, but were greeted with rude almost scary "what do you want". I was afraid to ask for recommendation at this point I saw reviewers posted $10 plate photos so i asked for it. She grabbed a container and proceeded with another "what do you want" repeating it while i was trying to make a choice with rather angry stare at me. I just wanted to leave asap. I don't think i've ever encountered service worse that this one. read more

The sweets are good, I wouldnt say amazing but a regular arab sweets place. The problem was the service. the worst customer service I ever seen. for some reason the lady there was upset, i dont know if she is like that always or not, but it was my first time and my last! (she really was like "what do you want in an angry way!" if it wasnt the first time ive seen her, I would have thought maybe I've done something wrong before!!!). I even asked her as I come to pay, how many kilos was the Konafa I took, and she was like "I charged you :( for 2 kilos but its actually more :( " in a very rude way!! I just asked?!! and I was smiling! Bottom line, I will never ever get back there again, thats for sure. I would rather buy those sweets from a grocery store than buying it from this shop. Why would I wanna buy something from someone who is rude?! and im not going to die if i didnt eat those sweets, I'll live, so ill pass! read more

My friends and I tried this place and their pastries are just delicious. We tried assorted ones and we loved all of them! Definitely a place you need to try. Can't get enough of it! Some are really sweet though like any other desserts/treats but hey, just have some water ready just in case! read more

The flakiest and most flavorful Arab-style baklava I have ever had and I've been eating baklava my entire life - it also keeps remarkably well. I ask my aunt to bring it for me from Canada. I am shocked to see this place having less than 4.5 stars. read more

I purchased an assortment of baklava. When the lady helping me told me the subtotal at the register, I realized it was cheaper than I thought and asked her to add a few more for me. She rolled her eyes at me, huffed and puffed, and told me "you should have told me from the beginning". I'm sorry, isn't it a GOOD thing that I'm giving you more business? I don't understand. Not only did she throw on (literally) the additional baklava, I opened the box to see them falling apart. Am I supposed to serve broken baklava to my guests? As for the baklava, it wasn't bad. It's what you would expect. Even so, I will not be returning because I have never seen such bad customer service. Absolutely RUDE. read more

We are based in Sedona, Arizona. We ordered a mixed tray of sweets and Baklawa on mothers day over the phone. My parents and myself, having lived in the Middle East and eaten the best Baklawa there is, we were in awe of how great this was. The service was unbelievable, fast, very courteous and highly efficient. My mother got her tray on time, and my family was raving and told me that it's like they were eating the original Baklawa fit for a King, Queen or mother! Decadent, fresh, just oozing with pure goodness. The owners are true Baklawa makers. I am more than satisfied with Balawa King of Mississauga, Ontario and will keep on ordering from them again and again. read more

The best baklava I've ever tasted. Possibly the best there is out there? So flaky, full of nuts and just the right amount of syrup. Can't speak for their other pastries but the baklava is a hit read more
