The service is fast, friendly, and hospitable, and the atmosphere feels like home with a clean, inviting space. Diners note high quality ingredients, a strong sense of culture, and a willingness to return to try more items.
Absolutely incredible!
This place is beyond amazing from the food to the service, everything was perfect. The owner is one of the kindest, most genuine people you'll ever meet, & you can feel the love & passion he puts into every single bite.
We tried several manakish zaatar, cheese, labneh, & even the smoke meat pizza & every one of them was out of this world. The dough is soft yet crispy, the flavors are authentic, & the ingredients taste so fresh. You can truly tell everything is made with care & experience.
It's rare to find a place where the food & hospitality are both this good. If you haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out. I can confidently say this is the best spot for manakish & flatbreads in town! Great for breakfast, lunch & even dinner!
Thank you for such an amazing experience can't wait to come back!
Just discovered Ava & Allen, a beautiful Palestinian bakery that truly captures the taste of home & tradition. Every bite is filled with love, history, & authenticity. 🍞🥮 From their fresh bread to their sweet pastries, you can feel the dedication & heart behind every creation. Supporting places like this means supporting culture, resilience, & community. Highly recommend everyone to visit & experience the flavors of Palestine. 🇵🇸❤?
Stumbled upon this little coffee shop during my stay in montreal. Barista was super friendly & welcoming. We got the Americano & the café latte. Both were smooth & fresh. We also got this pastry (forgot what it was called) basically the box with 10 sweets & ohmyyyy was it worth every bite. Definitely check this spot out if you're in/or passing by town !
Super cute cafe. We got the halloumi pesto, msakhan, & zaatar/cheese manakeesh, all of which were freshly baked & phenomenally delicious. The service was incredible, the owner was so attentive & caring; he gave us a few water bottles on the house because it was an especially hot day. Will definitely visit again!
Absolutely delicious!
If you're looking for authentic, fresh, & flavorful manakish, this is the spot.
The dough is perfectly soft with just the right crisp on the edges, & the za'atar blend is so fragrant & balanced.
I also tried the cheese manakish - rich, melty, & satisfying.
Super friendly service & fast, too.
Perfect for a quick bite or casual lunch.
Highly recommend!

Very delicious mankoshih. We had the zaatar & the one with chicken musakhan. Both delicious but the musakhan was the highlight with pomegranate drizzle & delicious spices. Made fresh, on the spot. The owners are very hospitable & kind. A big plus! Constructive ideas: I would keep the focus primarily on making your delicious mankoshih & other homemade dishes from your origin & add more to the menu. & remove pizzas & sandwiches that are canadian type. & keep one or two desserts again from your origin. Glass fridge should be filled with your delicious delicacies. Menu should have some pictures. Seating could be slightly extended by having a'standing only' table on the side. Keep up the great work. Your business will keep thriving. We will be regulars!
