We went in these today on a whim expecting this to be a French style bakery. We were a little taken back when we got there. The host was incredibly kind & helped us pick something for all of us. Upon hearing that it was our first time, he even made us something that wasn't on the menu at all.
I don't drink coffee but my husband does he loved their coffee.
The owners are from Palestine & are trying to keep authentic Palestinian cuisine alive without it getting lost into the large umbrella on Middle Eastern Food, which I highly appreciate.
Overall the food was incredibly good, the host very kind, welcoming & humble. For anyone who hasn't tried Palestinian food, you absolutely must visit!
I recently tried the mankoshihs at Ava & Allen & it exceeded my expectations! I'm a fan of Zaatar & I found this place to have such good quality. So whether you're a zaatar lover or just looking to try something new & flavorful, the Zaatar & cheese mankoshih is a must no matter what time of the day along with everything else they have.
Great food, warm atmosphere, & friendly service. I'll definitely be back for more.
I've been meaning to write a review & I've already been there several times.
Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We had the falafel, zaatar, pesto & chicken manaeesh, they were all amazing! You can taste the quality. This is our new place. I felt like there was a lot of care put into every item. I look forward to going again !
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!
