About us

At Princes Pastries, we bring the rich heritage of authentic Syrian desserts to Toronto, crafted with tradition, passion, and family legacy. Founded by Taleb Al-Shaar, our roots trace back to Homs, Syria, where our family has been perfecting the art of Middle Eastern sweets since the 1950s.

Taleb honed his craft under the guidance of his father, mastering the delicate process of creating handmade pastries that capture the essence of true Syrian flavors. Today, we continue that legacy, blending time-honored recipes with a modern touch to bring you exceptional, high-quality desserts.

Adding to this artistry, Suheila Al-Kadiri, Taleb’s partner, plays a vital role in store management and customer service, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and receives a seamless experience. Her expertise also extends to elegant plating and event presentation, making sure our desserts not only taste exquisite but are beautifully showcased for any occasion.

At Princes Pastries, we believe that great desserts tell a story—one of love, tradition, and authenticity. Indulge in our handcrafted sweets and experience the flavors of true Middle Eastern craftsmanship.
