Arabic Sweets & Bakery Wholesale — Toronto & the GTA
Levant Direct supplies packaged, shelf-stable Arabic sweets and bakery lines by the carton to GTA ethnic grocers, caterers, hotels and dessert cafés — ma'amoul (date-filled semolina cookies), barazek, ghraybeh shortbread and a baklava mix from Hamdan for Foods in Jordan, quoted and delivered as one wholesale order alongside the rest of a Levantine pantry program.
One thing worth saying plainly: every line here ships pre-boxed and long-shelf-life, not fresh pastry baked to order. If your program needs made-to-order trays from a working bakery kitchen, that's a different supply chain than the one we run. What we carry is the retail-ready shelf line — the kind a grocery aisle, a hotel welcome tray or a catering dessert table restocks from week to week without a bakery visit.

Who buys carton-packed Arabic sweets
Three buyer types account for most of this order: ethnic grocers keeping a sweets shelf stocked between visits, caterers and event planners building a dessert table, and hotels or offices assembling a welcome tray or gift box. A fourth — dessert cafés — usually pairs this shelf with our baking & desserts line for a plated menu rather than a retail case.
Toronto's Arabic-speaking community is large enough to support a genuine wholesale shelf rather than a single-store special order, and GTA delivery means a grocer or caterer can restock this line on the same schedule as everything else in a mixed inquiry — spices, olives, oils — instead of running a separate small order just for sweets.
Four lines from one Damascus-rooted producer
All four come from Hamdan for Foods, a Jordan-based producer working in the Damascus baking tradition. That's one supplier account behind four SKUs, which keeps a mixed sweets order to a single line on your quotation rather than four separate vendor relationships.
- Ma'amoul — semolina cookies filled with date paste, individually wrapped, 20 pieces per box.
- Barazek — thin sesame-and-pistachio cookies, a Damascene classic, boxed at 350 g or 550 g.
- Ghraybeh — shortbread-style butter cookies, boxed at 330 g or 500 g.
- Baklava mix — an assorted box of traditional baklava-style sweets, boxed at 450 g or 700 g.
Ordering by the carton, not the tray
Case formats above run 10 to 12 boxes depending on the line, which suits a grocer restocking a shelf facing or a caterer pricing a fixed guest count more predictably than a fresh-tray order that varies by baker and by week. Sweets & bakery is a 16-line category in total — the four here are the most-searched by name; the rest, including sesame breadsticks, sit in the same sweets & bakery catalogue and quote on the same inquiry.
For hospitality buyers assembling a welcome tray rather than a retail shelf, see our note on hotel welcome sweets — the same four lines above cover most of that use case without any change to the order.
Building a full Levantine dessert program
Grocers and cafés running a wider dessert program typically pair this shelf with baking & desserts — custard powder, crème caramel mix and chantilly cream — for anything made to order behind the counter, while the sweets above stay retail-ready on the shelf. One inquiry can cover both categories at once, which is worth knowing before splitting an order into two separate purchase requests.
Buying questions, answered
Are these fresh-baked trays or packaged sweets?
Packaged. Every line on this page ships pre-boxed and shelf-stable by the carton, not as a fresh tray baked to order — that's a different supply chain than the one we run, and we'd rather say so than let the term "sweets wholesale" imply something we don't stock.
What Arabic sweets does Levant Direct stock wholesale?
Ma'amoul, barazek, ghraybeh and a baklava mix from Hamdan for Foods, plus breadsticks and other lines across a 16-SKU sweets & bakery category.
What case sizes come with barazek and ghraybeh?
Barazek boxes at 350 g or 550 g and ghraybeh at 330 g or 500 g, each 12 boxes to a case — see the format table above for the full range across all four lines.
Can I order ma'amoul and other sweets alongside spices or olives in one inquiry?
Yes — mixed inquiries across sweets, spices, olives and oils are the norm here and consolidate into a single delivery rather than several small orders.
Do you carry made-to-order fresh pastry for a bakery counter?
No. Everything on this page is packaged and shelf-stable. If your kitchen needs fresh, made-to-order pastry, that's outside what we import and quote.
