I love the white cookies which they call ‘Garabei’. The date mamoul is not too sweet but the walnut one is extra sweet.

Huge bakery with lots of Lebanese savoury and sweet baked goods and dishes. There's also some pantry and refrigerated foods options. I grabbed a zaatar and cheese manakeesh which was super hot and fresh but I found it to be too salty.

Lovely bakery with authentic food and pastries. This was a treat to enjoy and it reminded me of my childhood in Lebanon. Would highly recommend traveling here if you are Lebanese or if you are wanting to try some delicious Lebanese food. Hopefully I will get the chance to visit again.

The first time I tried pastries( Sujuk & Eggs, Hot Cheese )in this place 25 years ago, and until now the taste and quality are the same. I have tried several bakery’s whose specialty is pastries, and I did not find anything better than the Lebanese bakery. The dough is soft, The cheese and meat are always fresh. The service and the staff are perfect, I recommended.

I passed by this place last week, and enjoyed a delightful experience at the Lebanese Bakery, nestled in a marvelous bakery factory. The foul mudammas and cheese manoosha were truly above and beyond, a culinary delight. The customer service was exceptional, and the spacious setting offered a wide array of Lebanese food, pastries and groceries. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend this gem to fellow food enthusiasts.

Whenever I visit Toronto from Waterloo, I try to pay this bakery a visit. Not only they make the best Manaeesh, but their prices are the least expensive. All the items I have tried so far were authentic and delicious. I go only for the bakery though other stuff look good as well. The pictures are from my last visit. I grew up eating cheese Manaeesh almost everyday. I recommend having it with mint, a bit of olives, along with mango juice (+ tomato if you eat tomato unlike me). This is a meal from heaven 😍

We live in the area and, we finally had the opportunity to give it a try and, it was good! This is a straightforward bakery with authentic Lebanese cuisine. Very friendly staff! Even though our accents weren’t 100% compatible, the lady was very professional and polite. They do get busy, the store was basically empty but, they were still preparing other orders before me so, that shows that the community really appreciates their service and, I see why! I’m reserving a star for when we come back and try other things because, there’s definitely a lot more that we would like to try on their menu.

I liked their food items. I bought many of them and had them on site and offsite. I wonder though where they bought their meat from and if it is Halal. I used to buy meat from a store but it either moved out or closed. I like to know where to find meat and or chicken to buy. Apparently, owner or people who work there dont care to view their customers comments at all. So, why should we buy from them? RIGHT? Now I hope their food is Halal. Thanks

Nice lebanese food.!

April 23, 2024

I have never felt this unwelcome in a bakery. Wow . The 2 ladies on the front were so aggressive that I went into defense mode on the spot. I had read the reviews but I thought oh some brats must be really mad but i couldnt wait to get in my car to write this. Are they hostages there? I should probably call the authorities and have them check why they are so miserable.

March 23, 2024

The lady at the cash counter on Saturdays is racist and rude. She is totally disinterested in serving and makes no eye contact.

March 23, 2024

These people are disgusting, they have been scamming workers for years. Is incredible that they re still in business. Owners are rude and dirty. There s so many other options in the area please go somewhere else.

★★
February 23, 2024

Food is great. Service is bad. owners/workers are rude, never smile, almost yelling at customers. Owner can be seen in the back also just yelling at everyone working. Really bad hospitality and you do not feel welcomed. Will be going to across the street, Aldeewan. Their Manakish are not as good but their service is excellent. Ghadir is an other option that is also just 300 meters away. Thanks bye.

I went today to the Lebanese Bakery with my friend for our usual order. While my friend opted for the Zaatar Pizza, I chose the half zaatar, half cheese. To my surprise, my order had onions on it, even though it was not indicated on the menu or in the photos. When I brought it to the attention of a staff member, she insisted it was because I had mentioned Pizza, a term I hadnt used. Her handling of the situation was rude, and there was no apology extended. Despite being a customer for nearly six years, the unpleasant encounter today has led me to decide not to return. It is my hope that the staff, particularly the lady in question, receive better training in customer service to ensure more respectful and polite interactions.

Have Returned. I love my Zaatar and Lebanese breads - this place does it well. It looks like it mostly does commercial quantities of baking, unfortunately does not sell Zaatar in packs. $3.50 is a fair price these days for Zaatar bread, though I wish they were more generous with the amount of topping. Zaatar with Cheese was a bit of a rip off. Not getting this again. Nonetheless its still worth it! Bread is soft and they always bake it fresh. Takes AMEX.
