“A favourite Ottawa hangout“

“I got an Einspanner Salty Caramel Latte and it was the best thing ever. I try to discover new coffee places everytime I’m downtown for work, and this hidden gem was the best find of the week. Amazing customer service and even better drinks☕️? Totally recommend!!!“

“The Great Pyramids of Giza, Machu Picchu, the Colosseum. All testaments to what the human species can achieve with the right mix of vision, labour, and a dream. Today, I am adding The Bower Coffee Co. to this list.

While Ottawa has an increasingly large list of quality, independent coffee establishments, they pale in comparison to this shop.

The coffee is the focus, and while you can’t get a venti Frappuccino with extra caramel made by a staff who isn’t allowed to go on strike due to the need to increase shareholder value, you can get quality coffee, made with quality beans, made by Canadian roasters, made by wonderfully knowledgeable staff who clearly enjoy their work. It’s the best parts of the coffee culture of Australia, but nestled on the main strip of Westboro.

These staff are, without a doubt, some of the best in the city. Not only are they warm, not only are they as happy to serve you a drip coffee with milk and sugar as a pour over, but they must have been hand picked from an improv troupe - but like, not an insufferable one - because their ability to riff is elite. Even if the coffee was terrible - which it isn’t - it would be worth coming back just for the vibes alone.

Coffee? Amazing.
Staff? Amazing.
Atmosphere? Amazing.
Music selection? Especially amazing.
Food? Amazing. (Try the avocado toast with egg - to die for)

We should celebrate that we in Ottawa can have a spot like this to grab a cup, a treat, and a joke. Truly an amazing accomplishment in a city that is more interested in giving our tax dollars to billionaires than doing anything to help small business owners.

Way to go Bower Coffee Co.“

“I’ve been coming here at least 1-2 times a week, and I can easily say they have the best, most fresh, and most reasonably-priced sushi in Ottawa! The owners are very nice and welcoming, they always greet every customer with a smile. ?I got the platters for a birthday party, which were a hit with the guests.I’ve never seen salmon and tuna this fresh in Ottawa. I usually go for the specialty rolls or tacos. I love the variety of the menu and how filled the tacos are.Highly recommend using their Google form to order since it’s quick, easy to use, and has all the menu items on there.“

“Rambutan juice & panini is an excellent place to go! we went with family and loved their crepes, happy smoothies , club sandwiches ! amazing service, very good people , loved everything and prices are so reasonable 👌 would definitely recommend them to everyone :) they're also open late on weekends!“

“Found out today that the landlord is forcing them out to put in a weed store unbelievable BS a true community staple I hope the customers put up a fight to save SECOND CUP BARRHAVEN the only great Coffee Shop in Barrhaven Find out who is the Landlord send emails etc Once it is gone it is gone WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER WEED SHOP IN BARRHAVEN !!!!!!“

“Le personnel était formidable, accueillant, amical et parlait français. Le lieu est d une ambiance chaleureuse. J'ai adoré mon expérience et je le.recommande à tous.“

“Really good Breakfast nice little place takes you back in time to the good old days very clean very comfortable and wonderful service and hospitality bye the server highly recommend reasonably priced breakfast for two with a cup of tea and a drink only cost $22 for me and my son.“

“Love morning owl. Coffee and food is amazing, as are the staff. My daily go-to. 💕💕💕“

“Incidentally dropped by after dropping off U-Haul, hungry and tired. Got a couple iced lattes, turkey sandwiches, and speciality doughnuts. It was so fresh and bursting with filling. Exited feeling like a new person, completely refreshed after half a day of moving furniture. Forget about Tim Hortons! Forget about Suzy Q!“

“I was looking for a cafe close to where I parked in Centretown and found this spot.

A chill cafe where the barista was great and he served up a mean cappucciono.

The place was pretty quiet bc it was late afternoon but lots of places to sit and snacks to choose from.

A great find on a busy part of Bank St.“

“If coffee could flirt, it would do it here.

Cafe Delice is my new favorite escape from reality — partly because of the amazing coffee, and partly because the baristas look like they walked out of a fashion magazine. Two beautiful ladies behind the bar? Check. A handsome barista with charm and latte art skills? Double check.

I came in for a cappuccino and left with a full heart and slightly unrealistic romantic expectations.

The vibe is cozy, the espresso is smooth, and the staff could easily start a modeling agency on the side. 10/10 would let them judge my coffee order again.“

“Hot Figaro Club, cappuccino and almond croissant were five stars. Thank you for the delicious lunch!“

“Mr. Puffs Aylmer offers an amazing atmosphere, making it a must-visit whenever I'm in the area. The puffs are consistently fresh and incredibly delicious. I highly recommend stopping by!“

“Fabulous tea and delicious snacks“

“One of the coolest cafe spaces I’ve been to. There’s a tea lab at the back, plenty of seating for socializing or if you’re looking to study. Theres patio seating as well. Coffee is free eat and there’s a decent selection of pastries and sandwiches.“

“Such a cozy little spot! We stopped in for tea and roll cake, and both were delicious — fresh, light, and full of flavour. The place has a wonderfully warm vibe, with a samovar, flowers, and even a lavender candle adding to the atmosphere. You can really tell everything is made with love.

They also had a gorgeous selection of desserts, including Iranian baklava and some unique cheesecakes (the lavender-lime and toranj looked incredible!). Definitely a place I’ll be returning to whenever I’m in the mood for great pastries and a relaxing atmosphere.“

“Wonderful, inclusive folks! Very nice staff, who were very helpful. This may seem like an odd thing to say, but it was really great that they made sure they rented an accessible portable washroom for their large market event. As I was sporting crutches (I recently broke my ankle), it was a total life saver that I didn’t need to take the stairs! Not sure if the port-a-potty is an “always” thing, but just the fact that they had it for their street market when so many folks wouldn’t even think of it made me grateful. Thank you for being the loveliest hosts! I’m not a coffee or tea drinker, but I’ll certainly tell all my friends about how kind the staff were!“

“Very welcoming, great place to grab some fresh baked goods that taste amazing!“

“Before it was sold and resold to different owners, Bridgehead used to be mich better as a local chain — bigger tea selection, more treats, fresh bread, soup, etc — but it's still not bad, and one of the few cafés that does loose-leaf tea in pots properly.

This particular location is outside of the central government/business area in the Wellington Village restaurant district. It's a bit run-down, but cozy and popular. I think of it as the neighbourhood's communal living room.“

“Clean, friendly and delicious! Great vibe and selection.“

“Amazing Best sweet place in Ottawa“

“Nice place but they are often out of cups to have coffee in the coffee shop. So you have to use a paper cup even if you are staying inside. It's a coffee shop - they should invest in a few extra cups!“

“I love LJB’s treats so much that even writing this recommendation has me adding some to my ubereats cart. But seriously their donuts are to die for, their events are amazing, and they always come up with the coolest ideas. My fave? They did a pancake cake!!!! What the heck so good“

“Had the most warm and wonderful experience this past week. It was my birthday and everyone wished me a happy birthday and my breakfast sandwich was the best one I've had from any tim hortons! Thank you to the fabulous team who made my morning!“

“Ever since moving to the area, this Happy Goat has become my go-to spot. As a PhD student, I love the perfect combination of intimate warmth and spacious layout, complemented by great lofi music and exceptional coffee. The staff is always cheerful and eager to help. Everything here feels calming and thoughtfully curated, from the floral arrangements to the blankets and pillows scattered on wooden benches. You don't get the bougie experience of being too cool for school, nor the try-hard hipster vibe—just a beautiful balance of comfort and energy. Plus, they're one of the rare places that stays open past 4-5pm! I've explored different coffee shops around the neighborhood, but this one keeps drawing me back.“

“Love everything about this place! The atmosphere, food and service are incredible. I recommend this place to anyone that tells me they’re visiting Ottawa.

My favorite to order are the fatteh, falafel and the sujuk sunflower.“

“Roll’d Up is the cutest little ice cream spot in Ottawa - and honestly, I probably come here a little too often! The rolled ice cream is fresh and fun, but their cheesecake is truly the best I’ve had. The staff are consistently friendly, welcoming, and make the experience even better with their excellent service.“

“This second cup has the most friendly service. It is a great place to come study, do some work, or have a quick coffee with a friend. The employees treat customers with care and 5 start service ! Also, the space is always clean.“

“Amazing coffee it doesn't even need cream or sugar!“

“Found my new breakfast place! I got the business grilled cheese, and I can honestly say that was the best grilled cheese that I have tasted in a while ! Highly recommend!!

Friendly staff, good atmosphere, great vibes all around!“

“You can always count on a good Americano and a snack here. The breakfast sammie is worth it if they have not sold them out.

In a prime location in Old Ottawa South, the service is great, lots of space to sit down and a chill vibe.“

“Thimble Cakes is an eclectic bakery that offers vegan ice cream and a variety of baked goods. I had two cupcakes: carrot cake and brookie. For being gluten-free, both were incredibly moist. Also, the frosting on top was creamy and light. I would definitely return for some ice cream or anything from their extensive amount of baked goods.“

“Best bubble tea in town!! And best cream cheese/ cheese foam/ milk foam !!!“

“Great coffee. Excellent location. Friendly place. Great service.“

“Je tiens à recommander chaleureusement le Bistro British ! Lors de ma visite, j'ai eu la chance d'être servie par Maika et Jade, dont le service a été tout simplement exemplaire. Leur attention, leur sourire et leur professionnalisme ont rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. L'ambiance du bistro est conviviale et chaleureuse, idéale pour passer un bon moment. Si vous cherchez un endroit où bien manger tout en étant accueilli comme à la maison, c'est l'adresse parfaite !“

““What do you mean you’ve been here 20 years!”
That’s what I said to Tom when I walked into this coffee shop for the first time.
It is a pleasant surprise for me to find a “new” place that’s been around a while.
I noted Tom’s energy and passion for what he does. And Salyna rounded out the experience with her warm and inclusive demeanour. They make an amazing team.
Great house roasted coffee. Assorted house baked goods. An intimate patio. And a short walk to Commissioner’s Park (Tulip Festival) and Dow’s Lake.
Know I know!
I highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area.“
