Review Summary

Overall, Pâtisserie Mahrouse draws praise for fresh, flavorful Middle Eastern sweets, especially knafeh and baklava, with reviewers calling the pastries authentic, well made and generously varied, and the downtown location a welcome convenience that saves a long drive. The atmosphere is often described as beautiful and inviting, with warm, attentive staff that make guests feel at home, though a few visits note uneven attention during busy times and one comment about certain desserts being drier than usual. Quality and flavor are repeatedly affirmed, and the assortment of traditional treats such as maamoul, nammoura and halawet jebne is highlighted along with the option to sample items and the pairing of coffee, cardamom Arabic coffee or Turkish coffee. Prices are sometimes described as on the higher side but justified by freshness and ingredients, with some criticism about limited availability of individual pieces at certain hours and the occasional use of disposable containers that detracted from the dining experience. Still, the consensus is that the patisserie is a standout in its category, offering superb pastries, a charming decor and consistently strong service that keeps customers returning.

(Almost perfect. Kaake blinked & disappeared.)

Mahrouse Patisserie is a public service. Everything is fresh, everything is good, & the downtown location just saved me a long, emotional drive to Acadie. My gas tank & my mood both say thank you.

I had the knafeh & it was really good. Yes, it's smaller than the Lebanese version we all grew up with. No, I'm not mad about it. Quality is there, flavor is on point, & it clearly knows what it's doing. Very tasty, very satisfying, very'okay fine I'll come back.'

Service? Impressive. Friendly, efficient, & fast, like they know you're there for serious dessert business.

One small comment though… the kaake.
It is tiny. Not'cute' tiny. More like'is this the sample?' tiny. Please make it a bit bigger. I'm not asking for miracles, just something that doesn't disappear in three bites.

Overall, amazing spot, fresh desserts, great service.

We have been customers of Mahrouse Pastry for over ten years & have always had an excellent experience. Their sweets, especially the baklavas, are always fresh, flavorful, & high quality. Each visit brings back many sweet memories for us & leaves us with a wonderful feeling. Truly one of the best Arabic pastry shops in the city.

If you're craving authentic Syrian pastries, this place is a hidden gem. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile & exceptional service-something that feels natural & genuine in every good Syrian spot. The shop is spotless & well-organized, which adds to the overall great experience.

Yes, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but you get what you pay for: quality. The pastries are absolutely delicious, freshly made, & packed with rich, traditional flavors. This is where you come when you want the good stuff-treats that actually taste like home.

Highly recommended if you're looking for a clean, welcoming place with top-tier Syrian delights.

In my opinion, the absolute best Middle Eastern style pastry shop in all of Montreal. The baklavas are delicious, the service is impeccable, & the decor is beautiful. I make an effort to always pass by & grab a box of fresh pastries when I'm in the area.
