A friend suggested I stop in here on my walk today. It is my new happy place. I'm so glad I live in another city as I would be here every day. I ordered a very simple traditional with pistachio and now I want to try one of everything. Thank you to the young woman working there who was patient with my questions and helped me pick out a treat. I think it may be the best thing I have ever had..... read more

I came across this spot while I was in the area. The spot has amazing decor and very instagrammable. It serves Turkish desserts, I tried Pistachio Halva and it was okay in taste, not worth the hype, overly priced. All items are highly priced, good to try once. read more

Delicious Turkish delight that is miles ahead of the less fresh stuff you'd find in a store. A really beautiful interior and comfortable seating as well. It's quite pricey, but unique and delicious read more

The space was really nicely decorated with a really authentic feel. The service was quick and patrons buy their food at the front counter where you can see all the food/dessert options. The baklava had a more middle eastern flair over the Greek/european style and taste. Great place for a more unique experience in a trendy part of Toronto! read more

We stumbled upon this cafe while walking around the neighborhood on a Saturday at around 1. We just finished lunch and needed a little pick me up, and the drinks sounded pretty good, so we decided to pop in for a to-go drink. Inside, the space is very chic and clean. They have these beautiful looking pastries and Turkish sweets on display, and everything looks so extravagant. We skipped the sweets and went with a passion/strawberry/peach fizzy, and an iced pistachio latte. The drinks were really good. FYI - any flavored coffee is a shot of syrup for an extra 50 cents. But prices are pretty comparable to those of Starbuck's so if I had the choice, I would pick this cafe. Great local place for a coffee. They also have seating if you want to enjoy your drink there. read more

July 29/2023: What a delightful experience. The store was new, clean & VERY well cared for. Fantastic selection of Turkish Desserts & coffees. The baklava that I had was without a doubt the BEST one I've ever had. The owner himself looked after us. He was knowledgeable & polite with a perpetual smile on his face. I wish them loads of success! read more

The Gentlemen working there was very nice and explained everything to us. But I'll Beyonce was beautiful. I loved it was decorated and how it was laid out. They had such a huge selection of baklava in so many flavours I've never heard of, and really need to see all the different experiments they were doing. The baklava was fantastic. The honey they use was out of this world. I can't wait to go back. I love that you can also get just a mixer box so you can bring it to a party or friends house as a gift. read more

Cosy Turkish cafe with Turkish desserts, coffee and tea. Service is a bit strange - orders are at the counter, some things are delivered to the table, others you take yourself. Great place to go on a fall/winter evening; although seating is limited. read more

Delicious treats and very friendly staff. There are other spots in the city with similar offerings and some better prices but I like the vibes here. Lots of seating and lots of flavours to choose from. Most had nuts in them but several options were available. I'm excited to try one of their coffee beverages read more

Stopped in to try some Turkish treats! Hard to choose because they have soooo many options that look delicious & too pretty to eat! I asked the friendly guy behind counter for his recommendations for the Turkish delights. He suggested, sour cherry with pistachio & the lemon one, so I went with those. I also opted for the cheese borek square (warmed up), and the Turkish coffee. Everything was delish! The borek square is quite a generous size & the cheese is firm & just salty enough! I opted for one of the traditional baklava bites (good amount of syrup) to accompany the Turkish coffee. The baklava is very sweet & paired well with the coffee. The coffee came with a nice biscuit as well, which reminded me of biscotti, not sure what it's called in Turkish, but that had a nice flavour as well. I opted for a bit of sugar in the coffee. Great flavour (was tempted to turn the cup over at the end to do my own Turkish coffee reading!). There are 3 tables by the window which are cozy, patio seating and another dining area up a few steps. read more

Beautiful interior. The meal was splendid. 3 of us went and we ordered another breakfast meal on top of the Turkish Breakfast for 2. The staff was attentive and helped explain to us what each part of the meal was. Would highly recommend. read more

Tldr: selection of turkish delights, high ceilings with good aesthetics add in to the experience, and the people are paying great attention to their customers. I super love the pistachio croissant! I think this is fairly new in the neighbourhood so I knew I had to try. After a long hiatus and looong vacation out of Toronto, this was my first breakfast out so, I'm pretty happy about it! Pistachio croissant is super good! I love the pistachio butter cream filling which is fairly sweet but pairs well with my turkish coffee. read more

Hands down the best Turkish delight (lokum) we've ever had-- and we've been to Turkiye! Who knew that Little Italy would have this gem? Not only is the place absolutely gorgeous, with both interior and outside seating, but the owner is so friendly and passionate about what he does. Super soft, with fresh flavours that aren't artificially sweet, Liu is absolutely sourcing their lokum from some fantastic places. My favourite flavours are the pomegranate ones. I love the colour and the soft texture! If these were a giveaway at a wedding, I'd be so excited. If you're not a pomegranate person, the chocolate -filled ones are also terrific, too. So many flavours to choose from! Let the staff make you an assorted box; you won't regret it. read more

Beautiful cafe with its pristine interiors, two-level seating and calm vibe. Stopped by and got a few Turkish treats. A bit too sticky-gummy for me, but the strong and distinct flavours make them a delight. Can't wait to sit and have their coffee next time! read more

This new, drop-dead gorgeous cafe specializes in Turkish delight! Friends treated us with delicacies from here at a holiday gathering. When we saw the spacious corner shop with its huge windows and lovely set-up on two floors, we knew we had to visit in person to taste more scrumptious sweets - and pair them with Turkish coffee. There are a lot of different types to choose from, but someone instantly helped us and dove in with descriptions and helpful suggestions. We went for a plate with 5 choices of Turkish delight and a second plate with 3 pieces of baklava (which comes in from Turkey daily). Just a hint of the variety of ingredients that go into the different pieces - pistachio, raisin, fig, milk, hazelnut cream, blackberry, chocolate, pomegranate, fig, shredded wheat, coconut, honey... Everything was WOW. We loved each piece and the amazing range of tastes and textures. The baklava was incredibly moist - less flaky than other varieties I've had - mega nuts. One came in a roll shape with minimal pastry, mostly purely lovely finely chopped pistachio. For the Turkish coffee, you can choose your sweetness level (or no sugar). It comes with a small glass of mineral water. (Other coffees and tea are available as well.) That small hit of rich, thick, hot coffee is the ideal drink with these sweets. And everything looks beautiful, too - the plates, the cups, the decor. There are no prices or menus posted. The coffees were ~$4 each and the plates ~$10 each. Some customers were getting boxes to go. (We already know it's great at a dinner party.) There are 3 sizes and price is determined by weight, with S / M / L boxes amounting to around $12-15 / 25 / 50, depending on the selections. Looking forward to trying more here - what a super addition to the neighborhood! read more

Absolutely delectable confections and pastries! This tea room looks like a solarium and cafe. At the front are a bajillion Turkish dessert and tea options. We must have spent 5 minutes ogling at the different types of desserts. I came here to meet up with a friend I hadn't seen in ages and it was quiet enough for us to catch up. There's also a second floor that overlooks the solarium-style cafe My friend got the kunaifa and I got the mini almond baklava, spinach borek, and mushroom chaga latte. I had missed lunch and this sufficiently satisfied me. read more

Shared this box of 12 Turkish delights with some friends. I believe the selling point here is that they're gluten-free, and frankly I preferred them to normal ones I got elsewhere! Lovely elegant interior, nice location. read more

Liu Loqum Atelier - Box of 12 Turkish delights - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Turkish coffee houses with delicious baklava. Dry friendly staff nice ambient. They also do other pastries and take out

If you've ever wondered why the boy in Narnia would sell out his entire family for a box of Turkish delights, you can check this place out to find out if you would do the same. There are so many flavours to choose from, including some western fusion flavours such as ones with brownie or chocolate rolled in the middle. They also have a selection of delectable baklava and you can even add a slab of Turkish ice cream on the side. The traditional Turkish ice cream was delicious and chewier than regular ice cream. My only issue was that I thought it was going to be put in between the baklava like it's shown on the poster in the store but it just comes on the side, which is fine if I didn't already have it in my mind that it was going to be sandwiched in the baklava. I know they're a Turkish delight store but their baklavas are also very delicious. Their drinks selection includes a selection of teas and Turkish coffee. I love the vibe of this place, absolutely gorgeous space and perfect for a chill afternoon with friends drinking coffee and eating something sweet. If you buy them to go it comes in a gorgeous paper box and nice bag that makes for a very cute gift. There are so many flavours that I want to come back all the time to try them all. read more
