“One of the best ice cream shops in Kanata.

D Spot is an amazing place — the ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of flavour. They have so many creative options, and everything tastes fresh and high-quality. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Definitely my go-to spot for desserts in Kanata! Highly recommend“

“The atmosphere and staff are very warm and welcoming. I love sitting outside with a blanket when it's a bit chilly outside with their delicious coffee and food. It's a great spot to chat with friends, they even have some games you can play. It's also nice to just sit and relax by yourself. A true gem of Aylmer!“

“We are always excited to visit Valleyview Little Animal Farm! This is our third visit this summer, and my Little One loves running around, watching & feeding the animals, playing on the amazing play structures. Train ride is amazing, sunflower cafe offers great food & drinks.“

“A quiet little hole in the wall place that makes you want to just bring a book and hang out in one of their recliners with a chai latte (theirs are amazing!). Their cookies are what Crumbl wish they could be. They are well cooked but still soft. Exactly what you want in a meal sized cookie.“

“Simply the best coffee. Tout simplement le meuilleur café. Freshly roasted, and ground onsite for your preferred coffee-making approach (espresso, conic filter, drip, etc.). Just ask for what you’re looking for in flavour profile, and they will help you find a beautiful new coffee.“

“Excellent scones, high quality, the flavour and textures are just perfect 🫖
super fresh side salads!

We did not realize they had a Westboro location now. so excited!! ..parking downtown always deterred us from going“

“amazing food, Great prices, friendly service.“

“Queensview Café is such an underrated gem in Ottawa. I’ve been a few times now and it’s become one of those places I can always count on for a really solid, satisfying meal.

The menu has a great variety, and everything I’ve tried has been consistently fresh, well-made, and full of flavour. It’s not your typical “cafeteria” food at all—it feels much more like homemade comfort food done right. You can tell there’s care put into both the ingredients and the preparation.

The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and service is always quick and friendly. It’s perfect whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or ordering for a group.

Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area—this place deserves way more attention than it gets!“

“Happy Goat Coffee is one of my favorite coffee spots in Ottawa. The coffee is consistently fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared, whether you're ordering a simple drip coffee or a specialty espresso drink. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for studying, working, or catching up with friends.

What really stands out is the friendly and knowledgeable staff, who always provide excellent service and make customers feel valued.

If you're looking for exceptional coffee, a comfortable environment, and outstanding customer service, Happy Goat Coffee is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!“

“On September 9at 2:40pm, I left my purse at Cafe Cristal, it had all my ID in it. To the person who toke it please send my ID by mail because I have a national board exam to write in 1 week. Please.“

“My favorite bridgehead in Ottawa! I have had many moments at this special locations with both my private and work life. The service at this location is amazing and well managed, it’s usually busy as it’s at a very convenient meeting location near the highway!“

“Definitely worth a visit! I love this place! It sells food made by students of the Culinary Arts program at Algonquin College and the prices are excellent and quality of the food is amazing! Items include breads and bagels, sweets like cakes, cinnamon rolls, cookies, and savory dishes like lasagne, pastas and pad thai. The prices are below market - got a delicious full carrot cake for $15 once that rivaled, if not was better than a $60 city bakery cake.“

“Meilleur endroit à Gatineau pour les Bubble Tea, ces smoothies avec des bulles! On peut choisir la saveur du smoothie et la saveur des bulles! Super cool! 😎“

“Decent food and friendly atmosphere. a limited menu ie Rye Toast only for breakfast, but all said not bad. Could use a little bigger chairs LOL“

“Excellent coffee. My husband had the breakfast sandwich. Lots of toppings and heated to perfection. I usually have a gluten free treat but too hot today. One of my fav spots. You do look out into a parking lot, but inside or the patio is lovely!“

“We had my sons 10th birthday party here today. James was their instructor and I cannot say enough good things. The obstacles were fun and challenging. The instructor was so engaged and enthusiastic, he was constantly playing with the kids and making up all sorts of games. They absolutely loved it! 10/10 experience. Can’t wait to go back!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hidden gem alert! La Bottega Café inside Home Société at Pinecrest Plaza is my new favorite spot for coffee. The moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve stumbled onto a secret little slice of Italy — cozy, stylish, and full of the most delicious aromas.

The coffee? Perfect. Smooth, rich, and made with so much care — easily one of the best in Ottawa. But the real star… the sandwich. Hands down, the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. I had the grilled Amalfi Sandwich. Chicken, fresh mozzarella and pesto. You can tell everything here is made with love and quality ingredients.

If you haven’t been yet, go. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to keep all to yourself — but it’s too good not to share. ☕️ 🥪 🌟“

“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 !“

“I bought a donut and they gave me a receipt for the donut. I don't need a receipt for the donut. I give you money and you give me the donut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I wouId have to prove that I bought a donut.“

“Probably the only time Hortons without a drive thru not in a mall. Growing up I legit thought this was the first time Hortons ever created it's that nostalgic. Everyone must remember that cranky older lady back in the day who would yell at people for bringing in one for one pizza after a night at term, and then getting kicked out... Always feels welcoming and community driven.“
