Crushed Almond Bakery Cafe

Baklava and plain poppy seed bread/bagel was ok.

Turkish coffee was a tiny serving in an expresso cup and one quarter of it was undrinkable grind.

Turkish tea was ok and served on a tiny glass that they refill for free.

Got a complimentary couple small pieces of Turkish Delight that was not bad.

The cafe is beet tiny but cozy in a residential neighborhood.

They have a unique selection of desserts I’d like to try because they look tasty.

First time trying this cafe. I got the feta acma for takeout which was good. Wish it was a bit more warm tho. I also got the Turkish coffee fine until I reached the bottom where there were a lot of coffee ground or residue which wasn’t pleasant. Staff were friendly and they do get busy with a few tables inside.

This boutique café offers a unique selection of European desserts and delicious pastries.

First (and last) time customer.
I got 2 pastries (acma) here, one plain, one with feta.
One lady with a strong british accent (maybe she is the owner) asked me if I want them heated, I said no need for that as long they are freshly made. She said that they are fresh, but they taste better when heated.
I agreed because she insisted and then when I got back in my car and took a bite, that was the driest and most stale food I've tasted in a long time.
This was for sure not one day, but 2-3 days old and they tried to mask it by reheating it.
The food here sure does look better than it tastes. Probably tastes better when it's fresh, but, unfortunately, I didn't had that chance.
So I payed about $12 for old food I can't even eat, just because of dishonest lady.
So, what did she achieved by lying to me?
She got richer for $12, and she lost me and everyone I know as a customer.
Nice way to ru(i)n a bussiness!

Seems like a white-washed Turkish bakery. If you’re looking for an authentic Turkish experience, this is not it but cute place though.

Turkish Tea is served in a big thermo bottle instead of actual Turkish Kettles. Not much variety in bakery, no actual Turkish desserts other than Baklava, just baked puddings. Cashier didn’t even understand what Uludag was.

Needed to find some coffee and a small breakfast while passing through town and found this via Google Maps, what a lucky surprise! Very friendly staff and helped us understand everything they had available. I can’t name it all, but we enjoyed everything and took some cookies home with us. My wife’s only regret was not buying a Turkish Towel!

Had a quick business so my friend and I chose to come here for drinks and nibbles. Inside is nicely decorated and at the time we went, we didn't have any issues finding a place to sit. I can't remember which pastry I got (it was sweet, not savory) but it was really nice. My friend got the Turkish tea and was RAVING about it, so that'll be a must try for me the next time I come back.

I visited for the first time and was greeted right away and asked if I wanted an explanation of the baked goods. They took the time to explain the menu in detail, which was very kind. Everything was delicious. I’m looking forward to coming back!

Crushed Almond very quickly filled the a lot of on of my favourite spots in Kitchener!

Their pastries and sandwiches are unmatched! If your an olive fan I highly recommend “the daring Turk”

Also try some of their coffee with the perfect square of Turkish delight!

What a delightful place to sit (or takeout) Turkish style breakfast. The owner will explain to you the various options, but everything was so amazing. Definitely worth a visit. Ask for the Cheeky Turk.

I made the trip from Oakville to Kitchener to try this cafe, and it was worth the drive. A cozy cafe with exceptionally delicious Turkish food and desserts. Tried two different kinds of açma, one of them with black olives, the almond baklava cheesecake, and sütlaç (rice pudding). Definitely will be back again!

It was our first visit. The lady who took our order she took her time to explain everything and helped me and my wife to order.
The food was very good?. Definitely recommended to go if you want to try something different from regular brunch.
