Alkadour Sweets (Carlingwood)

As a connoisseur of fine pastries, my recent experience at Alkadour Sweets has left an indelible mark on my palate. With three convenient locations( Riverside Dr. Car’ing Avenue and Bayshore) and a charming kiosk in the Wellington Street Market, this establishment has swiftly become a haven for those seeking both traditional and innovative.

Among these, the gluten-free almond cookies stand out. Often, gluten-free options can fall short in flavor or texture, but Alkadour has managed to create a cookie that is both tender and richly flavored, proving that dietary restrictions need not compromise quality. The variety and consistent quality across all locations, including their well-positioned market kiosk, make Alkadour Sweets a versatile and accessible option for both everyday indulgence and special occasions. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Alkadour Sweets is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the finer points of dessert making.

We have been enjoying the delicious and delicate pastry desserts for few years now. My kids are not usually fans of out of the "ordinary pastries" but they all love the delicious pastries from here! Authentic and satisfyingly goodness in every bite! We also order the gluten free treats and they are very tasty and hand crafted. You wont be disappointed!
