About Alkadour Sweets

Alkadour Sweets is a pastry business in Ottawa, founded by Aeman Alkadour, a trained pastry chef from Syria. The establishment specializes in a wide array of traditional and innovative sweets, bringing the rich traditions of Middle Eastern dessert-making to the community. Originating with Aeman Alkadour selling his creations around the community shortly after arriving in Canada, the business has grown to include several retail outlets across Ottawa. The sweet shop is particularly celebrated for its freshly made baklava, crafting pastries that achieve a balanced sweetness, texture, and flavor. Their extensive selection features over 15 types of baklava, including classic nut-filled varieties, delicate bird's nest pastries, and unique seasonal specialties such as fruit-jelly, Nutella, and maple baklava. Beyond baklava, Alkadour Sweets also offers a repertoire of approximately 75 kinds of cookies. Each pastry is made with carefully selected, high-quality ingredients and generous fillings, prepared using family recipes. The establishment provides various sizes of trays for customers to enjoy their handcrafted treats.
