28 Best Cafes near Kanata

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

“We visited the B‑Cafe today between 3:00 and 4:30 pm and ordered tea. We'd like to compliment our server for her excellent service - she greeted us warmly, was genuinely friendly, and demonstrated great professionalism. She also let us know about their new menu launching tomorrow, which we really appreciated, and we'll definitely return to try the new menu.“

“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“

“I enjoyed a fantastic raspberry and Brie crepe with a delicious caramel macchiato. It was my first time trying Luna, and I’ll absolutely be back! ❤️“

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

“Mulligan’s is the most beautiful gem of a cafe. The owners have been there when it was Mocha Loca in days gone past and have successfully made it into a hub for the community.

Not only is the coffee, tea and snack selection wonderful, the ambiance and personal touch is really unlike any other. There is local art, honey from local suppliers and sandwiches and desserts made in house. The walls are colorful, the tables are warm, worn wood and there are little thoughtful touches everywhere. I get the iced lavendar matcha which comes as a blended Frappuccino style drink and is always refreshing. The tea lattes that come in a variety of loose leaf tea also never disappoint.

The cafe is located in a large older house with a wonderful porch and green space for outdoor enjouement in the nice weather. You can’t go to Alymer without stopping here.“

“Checked out the social evening which is held on Thursday and Friday nights. Great vibe, tasty drinks and apps. Highly recommend checking out with friends!“

“amazing food, Great prices, friendly service.“

“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.“

“A huge thank you to the team for helping us host such a successful business event. The café is absolutely beautiful, and everything was set up perfectly according to our requirements. The food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was ideal for our gathering. We truly appreciate your support and professionalism.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I live in the building and always love coming down for a quick bite to eat or something to drink. They have great sandwiches and cookies but even better service. Everyone that works there is very kind and always happy to help. I have no complaints at all I would highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Thyme and Again has lots of great things, I personally mostly enjoy the baked goods. The sandwhiches are a bit expensive. But the lemon squares, Nanaimo bars, and the raspberry chocolate tarts are amazing. Some of my favourite desserts in Ottawa.“

“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!“

“Popping in here quickly to mention the kindness of who I think was the owner of the Scone Witch - my sister and I poked our heads in as we had parked on the street for some other errands. When she found out that we had never been there before, she was keen on offering us a complimentary scone. The scone itself was great, but the kindness was much appreciated on a grey November afternoon. Thank you! :)“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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 !“

“Pam and the staff at the Stittsville location are so wonderful always to deal with! Pam took my phone order for custom birthday donuts for my son’s 11th and she delivered!!! He loved them!! Thank you for always being so great. We love Maverick’s!! 🍩🍩🍩“
