The place is nice, bright, and classy looking. There was a showcase with some tasty looking cakes and other treats on display. Everything looked deliciously tempting, too tempting to resist! We got the last seven Cream Rolls that they had, thanks to my new friend, Saumya. It was a long thin pastry roll, filled with cream, light and absolutely delicious! I will definitely have to come back to try more of their treats! Thanks again Saumya!

Came here a few days ago for some last night dessert with a friend …read more The look of the place is nicely decorated and bright. Very cute cafe in Pickering. Very clean and spacious with a modern menu (QR code to see the menu). We shared a waffle and I had a hibiscus lemonade. The waffle, not like regular waffles. It was more of a cake batter waffle. This was very good. We opted for the mango ice cream one and the waffle is covered with some white chocolate curls for crunch and a drizzled sauce. There was some cut up fruit. The waffle didn't feel heavy and it was very easy to share. Hibiscus lemonade was refreshing but a bit to sweet for my taste. I'm sure when I come back I can ask them to make it less sweet. There are tons of options for drinks, hot and cold. Quite the selections of teas, and if I was a bit hungrier would have probably gotten a milkshake (roughly $10) Prices are fair , waffles are about $20 and are big enough to share. The person taking our order was great with lots of options and was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was attentive and checked on us regularly. Would definately go back to try some of the other items on the menu that looked delicious as well as the desserts and cakes that are in the window at the front on display at the counter.

We ordered the small box, which came with 12 pieces, 2 flavors. We ordered strawberry and Belgian milk chocolate. It came about 45 minutes later and it was still warm and delicious. The strawberry was a little sour, it didn't have a natural strawberry taste but whatever it was, it was good and not too sweet. The Belgian milk chocolate was really good, I ate almost all of them myself. Really good, not too oily, and perfect bite size pieces.

Parking can be a bit busy but usually okay. The service both times has been patient and kind to explain the various options. We decided to go with a milk cake with half lotus and half Dubai chocolate. The cake is soaking in milk which gives it a "wet cake" texture. I imagine it may not be everyone's favorite texture but has decent flavor. The crunchy topping contrasts against the soft, moist cake. The lotus has that nice cookie flavor and crunch while the Dubai chocolate with pistachio offers that chocolate and nutty flavor. I prefer the latter but both are good. We also got a matcha strawberry latte to go. Both really nice to look at and to drink. The matcha has good flavor without being overly bitter while the strawberry provides that fruity sweetness to the drink. Overall, it's a pricier experience but I enjoyed it and will be back.

Tips: - This place has Dubai chocolate bars. They are the…read morebest ones that I have had! - An individual knafeh takes roughly ten minutes to make. You can choose to get it either soft or crispy. You can also get pistachio or chocolate sauce on the side. - The iced tiramisu latte was excellent! A recent Yelp elite event introduced me to Kanafani Sweets. I returned for its Dubai chocolate bars. Kanafani Sweets is located in a plaza on the northeast corner of Warden Avenue and Lawrence Avenue East. It's in the same plaza as the Potato Bar. I had no problem finding parking. I pulled into a parking spot in front of the store and walked in. The order pickup area was in front of me. I read the signs and the order area was a few steps deeper into the store. I had the nicest woman who cheerfully said hi. She was helpful with answering my question and offering suggestions. She showed me the qashtuta, which was milk cake. She let me know that I could either get a solid flavour, such as Biscoff, or do three different flavours, such as Biscoff, hazelnut, and Dubai chocolate. Wow! My Yelp experience consisted of having knafeh, which I absolutely love. She said that it could be made soft or crispy. I love crispy. She also let me know that I could get either pistachio or chocolate sauce on the side. I went with the former. For the drink, she shared what was popular. The iced tiramisu latte was one of them. I love tiramisu. I was down checking out an iced drink version. I got a buzzer for my order. The knafeh takes roughly ten minutes to make. I sat in a comfy chair near the order area. It was nice to relax after driving for over an hour to get here. I used the washroom. There's an individual stall for women. It was clean, cheerful, and pleasant. I used it again just before I left to run a few errands before heading home. I watched the buzzer light up. I headed to the pickup area. The nice woman had my order ready. She let me know that I got a brownie bite on the house. It was so generous! I thanked her and headed to my table to chow down. The iced tiramisu latte was exceptional. I got a lady finger that I could dip into my drink. The espresso was a good strength with the cocoa. It had milk. You can substitute the espresso for decaf, and the milk for a dairy-free or lactose-free substitute. I didn't bother. It was nicely iced and a good size to wash down everything that I ate. I loved the complimentary brownie bite. The brownie core was delicious. The crispy exterior provided a nice contrast. It was enjoyable to devour! I loved the knafeh. It already had syrup on it. I got syrup on the side, as well as pistachio sauce. I poured the pistachio sauce over the knafeh. So good! The knafeh had cheese inside. It was stretchy and hot. Over time, the cheese lost its stretchy factor as it cooled. It was yummy with the right balance of crispiness and chopped pistachios with the pistachio sauce. The syrup made the knafeh slightly sweet. The sweetness was perfect for my liking. The knafeh was excellent. I have been trying to find a decent place that makes Dubai chocolate bars. Before visiting this store, most places made their bars on their own, but they were too soft. It was as if I looked at the bar and it melted on its own out of fear. I bought a bar of Dubai chocolate Lotus to enjoy. I paid with a credit card and included a tip because staff are so helpful and friendly. This bar was excellent. The crispy filling had Lotus cookie spread in it. The milk chocolate held everything together. I was impressed. I will be back to get the regular bar next. It's such a gem of a Palestinian dessert place. I'll be back. (439)

They were…read morereally good, but a little expensive at $12.50 each I did really like the pandan soft serve! The flavor was nice and fragrant, but I'm not sure how I feel about the texture of the coconut dacquoise. It was a little different from what I was expecting. I also tried the strawberries & cream one, which was pretty standard. It's a small counter inside the store, and there was a short line when we went on a Sunday afternoon. There are a few benches at the back if you want to sit and eat. Overall, I'm glad I tried them, but I think TikTok definitely set my expectations a little too high lol. Their other pastries look super yummy though I would have to come back to try.

You know it's a true small family-run business since one of the owners is there taking the orders and chatting it up with such kindness. We were there to try their seasonal Pandan Coconut Soft serve Sammoe, but since we got there late in the afternoon, it was already sold out. I was super stuffed from just having a late brunch, so grabbed a few items to go. One of my friends ordered a sundae, so of course I had a few spoonfuls. You can tell the ingredients used are good quality! The cakes are given to you after you pay at the window, but for any ice cream products, you walk through the side alley to their back window. There is a little bit of seating in the back, which works for warm/hot spring and summer days, but for rainy ones or winter, takeout is the only option as there is no indoor seating. No parking also, but easy to find street parking in the area.

And if you're not, do yourself a favor and try this out. We decided to share the Regular Fruitrio so we can try all 3 layers along with my favorite part, the ashta! It was freshly made and super delicious. It's definitely a more guilt-free dessert (although I'm sure it's loaded with sugar) but you will leave feeling satisfied. Service was pretty slow despite not being busy at all but other than that, this is a great place to curb your sweet tooth!

On Sunday evening, my friend took me to this place so that I can try their famous paratha rolls. I…read morehave never tried them before, so I was not sure of what to expect and could not wait! We arrived around 7:30 p.m. and found the place very busy. The place was small and had six tables that could seat up to 25 people. Thankfully, we found an empty table, so we sat down and grabbed a menu from the cashier. My friend recommended chicken paratha rolls, so we decided to order four of them (two with green chutney and the other two with red chutney) and a chai. While waiting, we shared the chai. It was hot and fresh, with a blend of spices to warm us up. After a few minutes, the cashier called our order number and my friend went to the front counter to pick it up. The chicken paratha rolls were delicious- the chicken pieces were juicy and succulent, the chutney added a nice small spicy kick, and the paratha was soft, crispy and chewy. The portion size of the roll was large, so I was only able to eat one (and took the other one home). If you are in the Scarborough area, I highly recommend checking this place out!

I did not enjoy it too much because it was too sweet for my liking.

Sweet treats + comfort eats = my new go-to spot!…read more If you haven't been to the D Spot Kingston Cliffside location yet... what are you doing?! This place is an absolute vibe. Of course, their legendary desserts are front and center--loaded waffles, gooey brownies, and milkshakes that are basically a meal--but what really surprised me? Their savory menu is too! We're talking poutines, pastas, sandwiches, hotdogs--legit comfort food that actually hits the spot. So whether you're sweet or salty (or a bit of both), they've got you covered. Now let me take a second to shout out Warmie, the MVP of our visit. Super friendly, welcoming, and just genuinely cool. Warmie made our experience feel like we were regulars on our first time. THAT'S the kind of service that keeps people coming back. The whole place has a chill, cozy vibe that makes you wanna linger--and with this menu, you probably will. Already planning my next visit. Stretchy pants engaged.
