Kanafani Sweets & Coffee

Food - amazing Palestinian themed desserts, prepared fresh and in house. Heavenly choices for those with a sweet tooth.
Service - wonderful staff, warm, friendly, polite and professional. I felt welcomed and respected
Atmosphere- exceptionally well done, very well balanced and plain and elegant. Music volume is appropriate, seating is plentiful and the walls are beautifully decorated with images of Palestine and its people.
Definitely recommended for a cost effective and smoke-free hangout spot, and it’s worth commuting for

First time trying the Scarborough location. I saw they had 20% off drinks from 10-4pm, which is a great promo to attract coffee enthusiasts. I opted for the Iced Tiramisu Latte. So many things to talk about - the biscuit dipped into the cream was such an experience, as if I was eating a cake. The balance of sweet and salty is done so well. The coffee to cream ratio is perfect, i can taste the coffee but also feel the richness of the milk/cream. I will say its more on the sweet side as its from a dessert restaurant, but I personally enjoy sweet drinks so this was exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be coming back!

From the moment I walked into Kanafani Sweets & Coffee, I knew I’d found something special. The atmosphere is stylish yet cozy, with inviting decor and a welcoming vibe that instantly makes you feel at ease.

But what truly stole the show for me was their kunafa. They don’t simply keep it sitting around—it’s made fresh, on the spot, the moment you order. You can taste the difference: crisp, hot, perfectly balanced sweetness, and that unforgettable Middle Eastern texture and flavor. If you love authentic desserts, this alone is worth the visit.

Every staff member I encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel personal. From helpful recommendations to “just checking in” moments, it felt like they cared about more than just making a sale—they cared about making your moment special.

And the drinks? They’re the perfect pairing for the sweets—warm, aromatic, and thoughtfully crafted.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, treating yourself, or looking for an experience that feels both authentic and elevated, Kanafani delivers. If you haven’t been yet, you absolutely should. I’ll definitely be returning—and I’ll be bringing everyone I know.

I have tried all the middle eastern coffee cafes in the GTA and this one is hands down my favorite and nothing can beat it. We’ve come here countless times and everytime the coffee and desserts have never failed! Literally hubs and I favorite place to go for any occasion, thank god they opened in Scarborough because we used go endlessly to the Mississauga location! Go to favs are tiramisu lattes & cake and chocolate berry cups!

My wife and I stopped in for a coffee and dessert date, and we were so glad we did. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed afternoon break. We each had a coffee—both were smooth, rich, and well-prepared—and shared a dessert that was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience even better. Overall, a great spot to enjoy quality coffee and a treat. We’ll definitely be back!
