It's a very cute Café with tasty Lebanese wraps, lip smacking and so affordable. Must try ?I got a chicken kabab

Stepping inside is almost like being transported to another country. A cozy authentic hidden gem, that has a vibe that melts away stress. Hakim, the owner/sandwich chef and barista is lovely and friendly. The Arabesque coffee is made with cardamom but a bit on the sweet side. Loads of pastries to choose from.

Second time here and will gladly return many more times. First time I got two types of baklava (both delish but one was a bit dry) and a cardamon latte. Today I ordered a strong mint tea (comes perfectly sweetened) and a baba ghanoush sandwich to eat in the park with the complimentary mini baklava. Fresh and tasty and I must note the generous quantity of pickles and the fact that there was no onions!! I asked for no olives too, which I think was a mistake on my part as I would have liked a touch more salt. But it didn't take away from my 5 stars!

The owner is so kind and helpful. He really goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Cozy cafe with a lot of natural light. The falafel sandwich is incredible! You have to come here!

Amazing place! The owner is super kind, welcoming and friendly. The mint tea, pastries and sandwiches are delicious.

As I step in to the store it is as if I was transported to a different country. Mr. Hakim said he likes to make his place of work like home and indeed it feels like home far away from home.

A truly lovely place. Feels like the old Toronto. Genuine, inexpensive, delicious food, and a kind owner.

Amazing first experience. Very cozy place with incredible coffee (I strongly suggest the arabesque coffee). They have a wide-range of sweet goodies too! Will definitely go back ?

Falafel wrap. Good size despite low price, good flavor. Had some olive which was surprising but good, despite my normally not liking olive.

One of the loveliest cafes you’ll find. Quiet, cozy ambiance and the owner is a delight. Falafel here is the best in the city.
