The 14 best desserts and snacks in Aqaba

Decent food, very nice people. They let us stay here for 8 hrs while we waited for the ferry.

The food was really tasty and delicious, I have no complaints about it. However, I think the restaurant’s decor could use some improvement.

Thank you for a lovely meal! Very friendly staff and tasty food. Highly recommended. Also - thank you for looking after my backpack which I left on the seat outside - we returned 30-minutes later and the manager had safely looked after it for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Nothing special. Just tasty food for fair price. They have wife and friendly staff. You should ask about paying via card before requesting the bill. They have really good ice cream.

fantastic place. It's the right choice for anyone. The manager has a great interest in the guests, realy i loved the place. And Special thanks to Ahmed. With Regards ❤️

Very nice food , delicious, big plates , very kind people works there ,a lot of choices for vegetarian,i highly recommend this place for everyone 😋👍😊

Samples, yes please! Delicious...it was hard to choose. Affordable and delicious. Able to enjoy at the restaurant which was nicely decorated.

One of the best chimney cakes I’ve ever had! I ordered one with pistachio and Lotus and another with dark chocolate and Nutella sauce. I expected them to be half-and-half for each flavor, but they came mixed—and I ended up loving it! The flavors blended perfectly, and the texture was amazing. Definitely coming back for more!

The waffle and crepe were amazing! Clean place, great vibes, and super friendly staff. Definitely coming back!

After walking around looking at the sites, we felt like something sweet to eat. We saw Waffles & Crepes and decided to give it a try. The place is very small. There is no indoor seating, it’s really just a counter to order. They have tables outside. They have a menu with options for more than crepes and waffles. They also have donuts and dessert sushi, pancakes, and a small selection of ice cream. We ordered crepes, all of which seem to come with Nutella and your choice of something else. I got mine with fruit which was very good, but there was a bit too much Nutella. Good place for dessert if you want something other than something with a Middle Eastern flavor. With their wide selection, everyone can find something to try.

If you're looking for a delicious treat during your nights in Aqaba Souq, this waffle and crepe restaurant is an excellent choice! The prices are very reasonable, and their menu offers a wide variety of sweet options to satisfy your cravings. The best part is their swift service – your order is prepared quickly without compromising on quality. And don't forget to grab a refreshing drink from the watermelon behind them to complete your dining experience. Highly recommended!

Exquisite! I had this (cold) layered cake (owner’s recommendation) with pistachios and fruits. It’s perfectly balanced - not too sweet, very tasty, crunchy, and fresh at the same time. The owner is very friendly and the order was ready in less than 5 min. I highly recommend it!

Great dessert place. Very nice and friendly service. Waffles with Nutella and ice cream very tasty, nicely served. It’s worth coming for dessert after having lunch at nearby restaurants.

Very delicious Prices are good and not expensive Waffles and chimney are very recommended. Tajen is not ver good.

The best local cuisine restaurant that I've had the pleasure of dining at. If you like the tastes of the Levant, this is the place for you. Our waiter was nice, helpful and spoke good English. Do not miss the arayes and the muhammara salad. Excellent knafeh for desert! 5/5

I had many expectations, and left disappointed. The products weren't fresh and you could taste it. Prices were okay-ish. The staff was just okay.

Yummy sweets. There is a restaurant above the pastry shop and they have all kinds of food for a good price.

Wonderful sweets - we had knafeh and several kinds of pastries with nuts. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

The best knefeh in Aqaba! You can browse all the sweets on display downstairs, and eat in the restaurant upstairs. Great service and lovely food. Follow my full-time travels and food adventures on instagram @poppybling

The Knafe was really good. There are 2 types: soft and crispy. I liked both. They are precooked, but take long to get ready for consumption.

Here you can buy different cakes or arabic sweets take away, or if you hungry - just go to second floor and try your favourite cake with Turkish coffee))))

Great food and service! I have been there several times. Wide selection of delicious sandwiches. My favorite is the Halloumi cheese sandwich. The strawberry chocolate croissant is amazing! German cake and fruit cake are excellent dessert choices, I recommend both!

Loved my experience here! Amazing atmosphere and customer service! You can tell they care about the quality of the product. I enjoyed the variety of healthy options available as well. A must try spot if you are in the area!

Beautiful and cozy café, perfect for hanging out with friends and family or to work. They have great WiFi that reaches the outside area, where you’re sitting next to palm trees and have a view towards the mountains, giving it a special atmosphere.🌴⛰️Also to mention that there’s barely any traffic or street noise as the café is not on a main road and ample parking space if you’re coming by car. The service is excellent, with super friendly staff and they even took the time for a quick chat with me. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll become very happy here :D They serve French-style pastries and desserts (I especially recommend the carrot cake), but also offer traditional coffee and a variety of freshly made salads. Definitely coming here again!!

I have been a valuable customer for this bakery since four years. Every year it never seizes to amaze me and my family with the quality of food and nice atmosphere. Jamil the staff member has been really friendly and offered great service

Absolutely amazing bakery! Everything is fresh, full of flavor, and the place has such a warm, cozy vibe. The croissants were so buttery and flaky, and the cinnamon rolls had the perfect crispy outside—just delicious! What I really loved was how everything felt made with care. As soon as you walk in, the smell of fresh bread and pastries hits you—it’s hard not to want one of everything! The people working there are super friendly and happy to help you pick something if you’re not sure. They’ve got a great mix of classic favorites and fun new treats, and the quality is top-notch. The coffee is really good too and goes perfectly with the baked goods. It’s a great spot to grab breakfast, a snack, or just hang out for a bit. If you’re nearby in Aqaba definitely stop by. This bakery is a real gem!

I can't say enough good things about this charming coffee house and bakery! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee and oven-baked pastries that immediately makes you feel at home. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with a perfect mix of rustic charm and modern comfort. Whether you're looking for a quiet corner to work or a friendly place to catch up with friends, this spot has you covered. Their coffee is top-notch—rich, smooth, and clearly made with care. I tried the latte and it was exceptional. But what really blew me away were the baked goods. The croissants are flaky perfection and are some of the best I've ever had. You can tell everything is made from scratch using quality ingredients. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They took time to make recommendations.

I highly recommend this place, very tasty and high quality desserts and coffee. This is one of the best places in Aqaba, where there are always fresh pastries, desserts and a varied menu.

It was great finding a place in Aqaba that offers decaf coffee 🤩 The experience was great, starting from the entrance, the menu contains various choices. The staff was very friendly and the service was fast and efficient. The coffee tastes great and the waffle I ordered was just perfect with the coffee. The tables to chair ratio was good which makes you feel comfortable to enjoy your coffee. I highly recommend this place :)

All the sweets are delicious, the place is very cozy and comfortable and the staff is amazing. I recommend this place with all my heart, you shouldn't leave Aqaba without going to this coffee house. It's a must!!

I loved the atmosphere and decoration. The service was quick and prices were reasonable for the area. The only negative is that it can be hard to find a place to sit. Sweet heaven is definitely a great addition to aqaba’s coffee shops and cafes.

Great place to relax in the afternoon after a day of sightseeing in Aqaba. Even organized Kunafa while not having it on the menu, Caramel Frappuccino is a must-have. Great and friendly staff (especially Raslan), definitely recommend this place.

Very cozy place to sit and relax. They have a different choices of cakes and very good coffee ☕️

The Cafe is very nice staff is so friendly, if you have time at Aqaba why not come here, Thank Raslan a lot ^^

Excellent experience , highly recommended, cozy and comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff savory food options and icecream I am from Amman , visiting Aqaba, usually places like sweet heaven are more pricy with average quality , so I am pleasently surprised :)

I like the food here.. The sweets are somewhat the best you can get in a small city like Aqaba however the service is pretty weird. Also the atmosphere is so lacking. They are serving sweets it doesn't hurt for the staff to smile and bring about some joy as they serve something sweet. For the service, you have to take a hand written note from the cashier with a number and wait for them to call your number, then they prepare your order and pack it, then you have to walk back to the cashier and pay.. And all this is guess work. No one really explains it.. 😂 They are lucky there aren't many options in Aqaba..

The best kunafa. My favorite is turkish cake. The blueberrycheesecake not my type coz i dont eat blueberry. But its taste wonderful.The sfaff is friendly aswell. I love nescafe turkish cake.🥳

Very nice, pleasant place, also clean with kind staff. We tried kunafa several times and it's so delicious. We recommend this place. After dinner you can sit at the nice terrace and take some sweets (big choise).

Wide range of Konafa, Baklava, Cakes, and other sweets and honey types. The taste is unique.

Welcoming staff and good Knafe

Good taste but very poor services and no place to sit to have your sweet

One of the best sweets in aqaba and best birthday cakes and kunafa

You need to experience this delicious classic Jordanian dessert only available here! It’s a delicious dough wrapping filled with shaved coconut, cinnamon, and walnuts. Served hot with a slight buttery crisp on the outside with a splash of creamy milk. It’s just the right amount of sweetness! My wife and I really enjoyed them and Hamsa and his friends were very welcoming and kind.

Amazing amza best sweet in Aqaba. My man!

Must visit! Excellent street food dessert in Aqaba: Alhoh is made with walnuts, cinnamon, ghee and condensed milk. 5stars! And the King of Alhoh is the a super friendly guy!

January 2023 The only place where you can have "Hooh", a dough roll sweet made with coconut, cinnamon and walnuts. It is roasted in an oven with local Jordanian butter and then poured in milk. It's a real local hidden gem. Homza is the third generation who prepares this sweet rolls, a recipe her grandmother created. You can buy a plate of 7 rolls for 5jod or buy one for 1 jod. The rolls are baked in the moment! Homza usually have some seats you can use to wait and enjoy the rolls. I really recommend to try them as the rolls are super delicious and a sweet you can't find anywhere else.

Delicious taste with great cook, the best traditional sweet in Aqaba Jordan, thanks guys to give us the opportunity to try it, have a good time

Place with an amazing local dessert. Dessert only made in this place around Jordania because of a family tradition. You cannot miss it!

The best sweet I tasted in my life

I ordered two cakes from Renee’s Bakery, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the cakes were made exactly as I requested. They looked perfect, were moist and delicious, and everyone enjoyed them. I also tried the Blue Mojito, which was really refreshing and tasty. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend Renee’s Bakery for both great service and amazing cakes!

Our group, famished for dessert in Ayla, stumbled upon Renee’s late at night. Cozy atmosphere, varied cake menu, all delectable and affordable. We loved the Tiramisu and San Sebastian cake! Chic décor and welcoming staff. Definitely worth a visit!

I loved the coffee,the cakes nd the vibe

What truly stood out was the amazing staff, both of them were incredibly kind and welcoming, making sure everything was just right. The cakes were delicious too, with a rich chocolate filling that was absolutely worth it.

Amazing Cakes, Amazing owners, would 100% recommend for whoever visits Aqba, we have been visiting this bakery for the past 3 years and it became a huge part of our yearly visit to Aqba, both Renee and her husband Moyaed are super friendly and warm, the bakery has one of the best cakes in the area for sure. The bakery itself looks really wonderful and nice. Quality is amazing and it is definitely worth the price. A must to do experience in my opinion.

If I could leave this delightful spot a 10/5 stars, I would. The staff, and specifically Muayad, is just the best. He totally made my week. Every morning started with a bright smile and a warm greeting as I came to get breakfast. THEN I tried the cakes. And let me tell you…these cakes are HEAVENLY!!! 🙌🏻😍 The combination of unparalleled customer service and delectable flavors and textures earns this bakery/restaurant well over the five stars I’m allowed to give. I am already looking forward to visiting again on my next trip to Jordan.

Great service and bright vibes ❤️❤️ Shout-out to the 3 friendly baristas 🤝🏻

I have been to dough and straw several times, and I have never tried anything that is not delicious! Their mini pancakes are my personal favorite, but their waffles, churros, and crepes are also amazing!

Cool place. Delicious crepes and mini pancakes.

I visit this place 3 times and never let me down! the waffle is on tip-top, drinks and the special Churros , it's covered with cinnamon and sure Rene the owner is very welcoming and friendly, she was generous and respectfully definitely would recommend this place

Greatest Waffles, Crepes and Churros that I have ever tasted. The portions are excellent, the ingredients are perfect, the sauces and dips are excellent and the toppings are top notch, even their coffee and slushes are unbelievable. What a great addition to Aqaba, Aqaba definitely needed a place like this. Highly recommended!!

The best experience at dough&straw. All of the staff were extremely freindly and welcoming. We ordered the caramel lotus waffle, traditional pancakes and the churros eveyting was out of this world delicious ❤️

Definitely recommend 👌 their batter is very yummy , the waffle is crunchy which I love ...they have Churros that are heavenly 😋 lots of options of dips (milk chocolate, salted caramel, Nutella and more ) Will come back for more 😍

We ordered a waffle and really impressed how well was prepared. Very kind guy and highly recommend the place, if you like the sweet, it’s your place!

Kunafa Nabolsia and Turkish coffee. This should be the best place for that. The service was very good.the atmosphere so cozy. The outdoor area looks like a garden in Tunis,flowers,basil...green and colorful. We will go back for sure. I highly recommend.

The kunafa is super amazing. If you tried the best kunafa in Habibah (Amman), this one is X10 tasty. I’m not cheese’s fan but the cheese here was so soft and melted in my mouth that I had to order twice…. Rcm to everybody!!

Good texture, rich flavors, quality ingredients. It was better than the ones we tried in Amman. I enjoyed all the pastries, all had something different in the taste or texture. Coffee was great too. One of the staff can speak English very well and they are all very kind. We paid 10jd for all.

Stopped at this placw to get some sweets. This is heaven for the lover of sweets😅 Really tasty and fresh pastries! I would recommend everything made in big trays or made the same day. Much better than buying a box. Also really staff and you can pay by card.

Stopped here for a quick dessert ad a coffee, wow what a selection of sweets, desserts and baklava type cakes. We had Knafeh (cheese based with sweet pastry topping, syrup and pistachio) some other shredded wheat type baklava, Burma, lots of nuts and syrup. Good strong coffee too, reasonably priced. All very tasty, very busy place, lots of locals enjoying the sweets. Will definitely be returning.

Kunefe, other desserts, everything is wow. A must visit!! Even though the kunefe is with syrup it is not extremely sweet which is a plus. You can eat one yourself and you won’t get dizzy from the sugars.

I recently visited a sweet shop in the heart of an Arabic market and was thoroughly impressed by the variety and quality of their offerings. The shop itself was small but cozy, with warm lighting and a charming atmosphere. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the sweet aroma of baked goods and the sight of colorful candies and pastries. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering samples of their various treats and answering any questions I had. One of the highlights of the shop was their selection of baklava, which was absolutely delicious. The layers of flaky pastry and sweet honey syrup were perfectly balanced, and the pistachio filling added a delightful crunch. In addition to baklava, the shop also offered a variety of other traditional Arabic sweets such as maamoul and halva. The maamoul I recently had the pleasure of trying the baklava and kunefe from an Arabic sweet shop and was blown away by the flavors and quality of the desserts. The shop itself had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about their products. The baklava was some of the best I have ever tasted. The layers of thin pastry were perfectly crispy and flaky, and the filling of chopped pistachios and honey syrup was rich and sweet without being overpowering. The combination of textures and flavors made for a truly decadent treat. The kunefe was also a standout dessert. This traditional Arabic pastry consisted of shredded phyllo dough filled with melted cheese and drizzled with sweet syrup. The cheese was gooey and melted perfectly, and the sweetness of the syrup complemented the saltiness of the cheese. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the quality and authenticity of the desserts at this Arabic sweet shop. The flavors were rich and complex, and the textures were perfectly balanced. I would highly recommend trying their baklava and kunefe if you have the chance - you won't be disappointed!

Great great place to enjoy a fresh ice cream with fresh ingredients 🤩

Best ice cream in Aqaba, with rich flavours and unlimited options. The owner and staff are amazing, and they also prepare hot and cold drinks, and if you are looking for special and delicious ice cream, Milk'n should be always your choice. Highly recommended 👌

Enjoyable times at Movenpick Tala Bay Aqaba, the most delicious dishes in the hotel restaurant, I thank Chef Mr. Alqam, for his attention during our family vacation, and we thank everyone for the distinguished service, quality and creativity in delicious food dishes.

This is a gem in Aqaba, I strongly recommend this place, the staff are friendly and fast, the prices are surprisingly affordable, the ice cream is fresh and nice, and the bubbles juice is spectacular, I recommend the pineapple coconut

Very delicious ice cream on saj , the guy is very nice and helped us to choose the flavors mix ! With very good prices, totally recommended :)

best smoothies ever!! loved it and the whole place is nice and the person working there is nice as well!! recommended 🥰

Good idea to have like this place in Aqaba Good location near to Haya circle and very helpful staff . Tasty ice cream 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦 One bad comments that all the table outside , you will not enjoy during summer time 'coz Aqaba weather so hot☀☀☀☀☀ '.......................................................................... Recommend it 👍

This place used to ne Frosti. Now it's called Scoops, and it's operated by Eat group. The ice cream is delicious. However, I was very disappointed with the service. Doesn't meet Eat group standards and expectations at all.

The interior is quite nice, though the seating area could definitely be improved. Sadly, the ice cream was very disappointing, all the flavors tasted the same with no flavor at all. It felt cheap, which was surprising given the touristy and upscale vibe expected from a place in Ayla.

It’s called scoops now , not bad ice cream but the waffle cone was too dry, and the place was so expensive, 2 ice cream cone for 10 JD

The interior of the shop is nice and inviting, but the ice cream was a big disappointment. In such a touristy area, you’d expect better quality!

I had a really disappointing experience at Frosti's Ayla branch in Aqaba. In my opinion, it serves some of the worst ice cream I've ever tried. The flavor selection was shockingly limited, and the taste was absolutely awful. There was no richness or enjoyment to it at all—just bland and unappealing. It was a big letdown, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a decent ice cream experience.

Note that if they ask you if you want to add a flavour to your 1.95 jod coffee it will cost an additional dinar. He didn't say it was an extra. It was just a splash of caramel...

The milkshakes were good. Prices are high 2.5jd for one scoop. Another .75jd for a cone. Pretty average ice cream. Nothing to go out of your way to get.
