I was looking up a dessert location nearby on Yelp and found this place. Patisserie Royale serves Middle Eastern pastry and when I saw photos of kanafeh on Yelp, I knew I had to come here!!
When I walked in with my friend, I didn't see kanafeh in the pastry case and was somewhat disappointed but when I asked, a worker showed me that they have it hidden behind the pastry case. I was super excited to order it!! The worker asked if it was our first visit and I said "yes!" and he offered me and my friend a free sample of the kanafeh that he kindly warmed up for us--what a welcome!!
Biting into the kanafeh was just.. indescribable! The sweet flavour of the dessert infused with rose water and the stringiness of the cheese... I am salivating just trying to describe this!
I ordered other pastries along with the kanafeh and each are delicious! The pastries average about $1 a piece, which is extremely reasonable, especially since the quality of the pastries are quite high!!
They also have a small seating area by the window that allowed me to gobble a piece of pastry before I head home--love it!
I highly recommend this location!! I plan to be back some time to get more kanafeh!!
