Popular Middle Eastern dessert and chocolate-covered date shop opens cafe in Brampton

Brampton is getting a new Middle Eastern dessert shop, known for its gourmet, chocolate-covered dates.

Palm Bites, which has two locations in Mississauga, is opening a cafe-style shop in Bramalea City Centre, 25 Peel Centre Dr., says co-owner Mustafa Al-Siaudi. The shop is opening in unit 506A, which was home to a pop-up Daniel’s Chai Bar.

The Brampton shop will be cafe-style with a small seating area. They will sell Palm Bites — gourmet dark chocolate-covered dates, filled and coated in nuts. But they will also have baked goods such as cheesecake and cinnamon rolls.

“The cheesecake is phenomenal,” says Al-Siaudi. “That’s a must try.”

There will be smoothies and Arabic ice cream.

They will also have a selection of Lebanese cocktails — a very “Instagramable” non-alcoholic drink with fresh fruits, juice and Ashta (clotted cream).

Another location is also opening in Mississauga at 3920 Eglinton Ave. W. in December. This will be an “upscale cafe” with a lounge feel.
