Overall, Pâtissière ALYAMAAN is described as a clean, welcoming Montreal spot for Arabic sweets with a strong focus on baklava and knafeh, affordable prices, and gift worthy presentation. Desserts are praised for freshness and balanced sweetness, and the shop also operates as a cafe where customers can sit to enjoy coffee or tea. Staff are frequently noted for friendliness and helpful recommendations, making it a good choice for parties or gifting with elegant boxes. There are caveats, however, such as a few cakes being dry and kunafe sometimes felt syrup heavy or overly sweet. Many reviews hail it as among the best in Montreal and a reliable go to for quality desserts, though some call for more consistency across items and improvements to the coffee.
I have a mixed feelings about this place the reason about the 4 stars is that the young lady there is so friendly, knefeh the cheese was salty never again the haleiwit jibn is not bad but not that good .... Their famous dessert I forgot the name is good with the pistachio & ashta but I won't drive again 45 minutes to get a salty knefeh

We ordered two cakes from the bakery-vanilla for the children in my son's daycare class & chocolate for the teachers 🎂. Both cakes looked beautiful & tasted amazing 😋. The kids loved the vanilla cake, & the teachers really enjoyed the chocolate one. All of our requirements were met, & everything was handled perfectly. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent quality & taste. Sugar is reasonably used & has a balanced taste. An excellent addition to the West Island community. I have been there several times & always very impressed with whatever I tried.
Good location. Nice presentation inside. Great service, he even offered me a free cookie which was delicious! Everything looks fresh & tasty. My favorite were the little vanilla cookies. If you like rose water the lager baklava is your go to. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of rose water so it's not for me. The little ones were better. I loved the little square ones with chopped pistachios in them. There are many yummy treats to try out. Have fun tasting them all.
