    Piece with nuts ( I forgot to take a pic of mine without )
    Maddy B.

    Whenever I'm in Scarborough, I have to make a visit to this place. It is hands down the BEST kunafa you will have anywhere in Canada, and as close to the real thing from Palestine as you can get. They have tons of baclava, sweet treats, chocolates and drinks but I'm a little limited on what I can have as I have a nut allergy. Usually, I'm left looking at shop windows at pistachio laden kunafa, but kunafas always accommodates for me and take out a fresh piece before it's doused in pistachios and pack in a separate box. They go above and beyond and always include some extra syrup because my sweet tooth is never satisfied. The cheese pull is WILD, and the crispy topping is *chef's kiss*. Love supporting a pro Palestinian business and I love the artwork around the store too. Always coming here again and again. Kunafas, you have a customer for life.

    This place it used to be very good with a good portion they used to be very generous but some how when they got busy now the prices are very high and the service is very poor , they don't care about customers anymore I don't re

    Busy place in a small plaza. The ice cream and Dubai chocolate taste good. Will definitely come back.

    Dark chocolate pistachio bar
    Jenny L.

    So delicious, as someone with a sweet tooth baklavas are one of my favourite sweets. Picked up a crispy kunafa, pistachio baklava, Biscoff baklava, and dark chocolate pistachio bar. All were delicious. The Biscoff one is unique but it was sweeter than the pistachio one. Would have preferred it without or less of the Biscoff spread as it made it extra sweet.

    Dubai Chocolate bar

    Got the viral Dubai chocolate bar. It was around $5 a bar. The most reasonably priced bar that I've gotten but it is slightly smaller. Tasted pretty good and they had a wide selection of baklava and other sweets as well.

    Knafeh!
    Alex R.

    If you ever wonder why Egypt has the world's highest prevalence of diabetes, look no further than Egyptian desserts. If you try a slice of knafeh once it's difficult not to come back for more. The sweet cheesy treat is your ultimate comfort food. Kunafa's is one of only a few places in the GTA to make this authentic dish (in addition to a broad assortment of baklava). Everything is made fresh in-house. The bakery is primarily geared towards takeout orders, though there is a few bar stools along the wall if you want to eat your treats on the spot. The service is always friendly and respectful. I would recommend to also grab a Turkish coffee. Otherwise you are assured a carb-induced nap.

    One of the best desserts hand down, and the owner was so nice even gave us a massive sample, both kunafa are made with cheese, all I can say is wow, what I appreciate about this dessert it is not sweet at all and it melts in your mouth, I could eat this all day, honestly it's such a unique dessert, I'm gonna come here again my wife liked it so much she said she wants to come here tommorow, I wonder how they make this, they have other desserts, majority of them have cheese in it which I love, hands down one of the best places I ever tried

    These pistachio knafeh bars make me go crazy. They are so delicious and sometimes i even dream about them alongside shawarma. The chocolate is unique and i suggest you try it once even if you dont like chocolate. The employees are always quick, efficient and sweet all at once. I love the murals on their walls and everything they stand for.

    100/100 Simply the BEST desserts in town. Great service. Tasty and freshly made traditional Kunafa, Baklava, Sahlab, and other sweet treats are available the whole day at the Scarborough & Ajax location. I tasted both soft & crispy flavors Kunafa's and was simply addicted to the creamy crunchy flavors. Now vegan options are available. Kunafa also serves family and party trays. It seems like a bit pricey but definitely at least taste it once in a lifetime. Should you have allergies with nuts, please inquire with them in advance.

    Znoud el Sit
    Ritwika B.

    Located in Scarborough this place as the name suggests, sells amazing Kunafas. I tried their Baklava, Znoud el Sit, soft Kunafa and Crispy Kunafa. The soft Kunafa is recommended to try along with the Baklava, however, the crispy Kunafa was more on the dry side. Znoud el sit had yummy cheese filled inside which enhanced the deliciousness of this middle eastern sweet treat. Loved their customer service as well!

    Soft Kunafa
    Mary M.

    Pop in and grab kind of a place. They have very limited seating. Kunafa, if you know you know! Who doesnt love a cheesy sweet dish. Kunafa (crispy)- this is my favorite. I personally like the crispness. I wouldn't suggest eating this later as the crispy topping becomes stale. They always include extra syrup on the side but I have never had the desire as it's already sweet enough.

    Honestly only came here for the viral Dubai Chocolate so I haven't tried anything else. The service was great even though they were extremely busy. The chocolate was only $4.99 with no tax. Didn't like it at first but after trying it again the next day, it was really good. It had a Kit-Kat texture but I would say a bit more crunchy and the pistachio paste was very very sweet.

So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

    Kream Dessert - earl grey spanner

    Kream Dessert

    (55 reviews)

    Downtown Core

    I stopped by Kream after seeing all the hype on Instagram about the famous Korean "Dubai…read morechocolate." When I saw the price was $9.90 per chocolate, I was honestly a little surprised, bc it's sold under 7 per chocolate in Korea. But they were running a promotion until the 15th -- 5 for $30 -- which made it much more reasonable. I've never had the original version sold in Korea, so I can't compare it directly, but from what I've seen and heard, it seems pretty similar to what's trending there. Korean reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and people say it tastes just like the viral version. The texture is definitely chewy, just like the name suggests, and it's very sweet. Personally, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just my preference. That being said, I gave some as gifts and they absolutely loved it. So if you enjoy rich, sweet desserts -- or you're looking for something trendy and fun to share -- this would be a great choice. The shop itself is small and cozy, but very welcoming. The staff were friendly and made the experience pleasant. Overall, even though it's not exactly my personal favorite flavor-wise, I can understand the hype. It's a fun treat to try at least once, especially if you've been curious about the viral Korean Dubai chocolate trend. I'd recommend stopping by and taking advantage of the promo while it lasts!

The cube cakes are rich without being overly sweet, and you can tell care went into both texture and balance. They're also filled generously with so much cream! Prices are fair for the quality, especially given how unique some of the flavors are. Great spot if you're craving something a bit more refined than your typical bakery dessert.
