50 Best Bakeries in Ottawa

“My wife and my favourite food in the world are meat and cheese pies. Everyone needs to try these pies and then add them to their lives as a staple food. There’s nothing like ordering pies and eating them right away in your car. So flavourful, so gooey and cheesy. Get them with spice and lemon juice, Omg! I feel like I’m writing an erotic novel rather than a review but they are that amazing!“

“My girlfriend surprised me with the Peanut Butter Cheesecake! Gluten free and sugar free. It was amazing! So decadent and tasty! Great job guys! We will be coming back 100% and I highly recommend!“

“Everything is crafted with so much intention, attention and care - and you can definitely taste it. The owner is very welcoming and generous.The combinations of flavours are very harmonious and nothing is artificially (or too) sweet. We tried the shortbreads (orange and pistachio) and a spiced German cookie. Everything was perfect in consistency and flavour. So happy this kind of bakery is in town!“

“Incredible taste. Loved the freshness. Exceptional quality.“

“Seriously good pizza. Highly recommend the sausage and cheese. Just awesome. Great vibe as well.“

“Can I give them 10/5?“

“These amazing ladies make it so easy and enjoyable to eat vegan. I'm obsessed with all of the sweets, especially the Cinnamon roll with that frosting!!! The homemade seitan "pulled phork" sandwich is to die for. Love the mozza sandwich! The almond and chocolate croissants are out of this world. The Nanaimo bars are a real sweet treat, hard to pace myself lol. The smores brownie is my daughter's fave. I get to visit them every day before work and it's got me feeling so blessed🥰. Thank you, my dear bakery!“

“Just had the salted caramel chocolate chip bar and O.M.G. it was fantastic!! I want 10 more!! This is a really great place for lunch and delicious baked goods. The place is clean and inviting and there are lots of options to choose from. Service is friendly and kind!“

“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“

“On viens de commander et ça fond en bouche et orgasme dans le ventre garanti 😱😍😱😍😱 !! Mon dieu mais ouvrez une franchise à Sherbrooke 🇨🇦😍😍😍svp !! Tellement bon vos cheesecakes japonais et dieu sait que j’en ai en horreur des cheesecakes de base ! ❤️“

“We got our daughter’s 6th birthday cake from here. It was exactly what I had described to Keerthi. The cake was so very beautiful, elegant and tasted amazing. It was light, not too sweet and with many layers. We will definitely be getting our future cakes from here.“

“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.“

“Il fessais -20 degree Celsius pendant le corona virus et s’etais le rendez-vous de conduite à mon conjoint et je ne pouvais pas attendre à l’intérieur du bâtiment de conduite. Alors j’ai chercher un endroit où me réfugier et j’ai été voir le tim parce que sais plus familier pour mes connaissances, et Tim Horton mon refuser et aimais mieu me faire trembler de froid que de me laisser réchauffer. Mais Prince Ali ma accueilli à bras ouvert et il a compris qu’il fessais froid et ma laisser le droit de rester à l’intérieur le temps que mon conjoint finisse son permis. Merci infiniment Prince Ali, vous aviez un grand coeur et si je redescend à ottawa ces ici chez vous que je vais prendre ma nourriture ❤️“

“May God bless you for your unparalleled taste, service and taste.
Thank you for the good orchid, it was the best hospitality from you. .
And of course, the owner of the store, may God bless him, we have a taste for all kinds of things, so much so that we were confused about what to buy. Something is better than something. .“

“First visit on Friday did not disappoint. Needed some post competition treats (Ottawa Naturals) and Voila Gluten Free Bakeree was exactly what I was looking for. Picked up cookies, brownie, pop tarts, baguette, black forest cupcakes and cheese bread. Cookies were the perfect post show treat after a long day on stage and the remaining items have been so good ever since. Can't wait to get back to Ottawa and buy again.“

“Service personnalisé, personnel jovial, nourriture exceptionnelle, fraîcheur notable, grande variété de produits tous aussi bons les uns que les autres...“

“I love that so many of their items are just honest to goodness, old school, like grandma used to make desserts and pastries, with the occasional new/unique treat thrown in to keep things interesting. I highly recommend their chocolate cake and ginger molasses cookies.“

“Found this special spot when we searched online for breakfast places! Wow! So good! Americano was perfect, croissant breakfast sandwich delicious, and my husband really enjoyed his Wild plate! Our next trip to Ottawa we will definitely be coming back here. Great service, delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and fresh bakery treats!!! 5-star all around!“

“Some of the best croissants I’ve ever had. All of the people that work there are some of the nicest people. I don’t know what the low reviews claiming that the old man is rude are going on about. He’s the kindest man you’ll ever meet. He remembers me every time I go, and I’m far from a regular. He always remembers what I like!“

“Big fat indulgent gourmet cookies! Before buying, I was a bit concerned about the sweetness level because there were some previous comments about the cookies being too sweet or not sweet enough. I'm happy to say that it was perfect for me. It's less sweet that the typical cookies from a supermarket. But it's not so low in sugars that it's diabetic friendly.“

“I absolutely love this bakery!Always fresh,always delicious!Their Olive and Rosemary loaves are heavenly.“

“I ordered the Raspberry Rhubarb tort for a family celebration. Even though I am not typically a big fan of rhubarb, it was absolutely delicious. The crust was like shortbread and the flavour delicious. Be still my heart til the next opportunity to enjoy again!“

“As a wedding photographer, I always want couples to walk away from events with a little treat that leaves a lasting impression – and Batter Up Bakery absolutely delivered! I ordered a batch of custom cookies for a wedding venue open house, and they were a huge hit with everyone who attended. Jamie-Lynn nailed the simple, elegant design I envisioned, and the cookies tasted absolutely delicious. Working with her was such a joy – she’s attentive, creative, and so easy to communicate with. If you're looking for sweet treats that look and taste amazing, I can't recommend Batter Up Bakery enough! 🌟“

“The employees who work at this location are super friendly and positive. I love being greeted in super kind way. Some of the employees know my favorite scone and when they see me they ask if I want the regular. I appreciate this as I know they have a lot of customers. The location has dine in and that area is nice and quiet.“

“We ordered one of the specialty valentines cakes for my daughter’s birthday. They were so accommodating. She absolutely loved the pink cake and it tastes amazing from the delicious icing to the light cake. We will definitely be return customers!“

“les croissants...les meilleurs j'habite Wendover et je viens à Vanier pour les chercher encore congelés et c fantastique...un service tellement agréable de tous...MERCI“

“I had a great experience at THE CAKE SHOP. Always accommodating your wants and needs for your special day and always putting a special touch on all the products that are purchased thank you for always making great cakes and making these kiddos happy. ❤️“

“I would like to make sure that the Cobb’s bakery management in Orleans, is aware, that they have one of the best employees. Please acknowledge Patrick for the commendable work he does. I had the pleasure of meeting Patrick earlier this week who went out of his way to assist me. I listened and watched Patrick assist the customers ahead of me, he was patient, knowledgeable and kind. When it came to my turn, Patrick was no different. He knows the products well. Patrick’s recommendations were perfect for me. He doesn’t treat you as a customer, but more like a friend. I’ve personally worked with the public for years, I can confidently say Patrick is an excellent employee! I will be back to buy more of that bread! Cathy Poulin“

“Amazing sweets , and they are very patient while I sit there asking what everything is called and what's in it lol. While I was waiting the lady let me sample a sweet she just finished from where she came from; it was so good. So ya the bakery side is a must try. I was looking at the meat pies while I waited, they look amazing that's the next on my list, and I couldn't believe the price, extremely reasonable, same as the baked goods. Very nice people as well. Hidden gem“

“I ordered a double chocolate cake for a highschool graduation and was completely blown away. I am a dark chocolate fan and this cake quenched my eternal chocolate thirst with a very flavourful cake and rich icing. It was a crowd pleaser, too! I definitely recommend it.“

“I came here for the first time out of curiosity. All the baked goods look fresh and I ended up buying bunch of pastries. Customer service was welcoming and friendly. Pricing was also reasonable. Will be back to try other stuffs.
Highly recommended“

“Courteous people, great service, and charming. The food is well worth the price and very well made.

Vegetarian options: Falafel is made of chickpeas, nutritious, and high in protein.

Parking: Plentiful. Since, it is shared with other spaces for the shopping mall. This place is a hidden Gem“

“We were thrilled with the ability to choose so many things while on a dairy free diet. We will go again.“

“The desserts here are a true work of art — incredibly talented creations that are as delicious as they are beautiful. Pastries are high-end and expertly crafted, and the ambiance is absolutely gorgeous, making it a treat for the senses.

Unfortunately, the service is downright disappointing — careless, unfriendly, and nowhere near the standard the food sets. My advice? Don’t let the subpar service ruin your experience. Pretend they’re great, focus on the stunning pastries, and savor every bite.“

“Amazing Best sweet place in Ottawa“

“I love that you can load the pies like a sub! I had a half meat, half cheese with olives, tomatoes and onions. It was fresh, packed with flavour, and well portioned. I also appreciate that they have a diverse selection of drinks and alternative pops. I recommend the orange Kinza. I will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area ☺️“

“I had the most delicous cabbage rolls and pierogies the other day - comfort food at it's best!“

“Dispute being full and having high ceilings w/ hard surfaces, it wasn't very loud, which is makes enjoying the food much more enjoyable.

The coffee is delicious, it's always such a treat when a restaurant has an actually good cup of coffee.“

“My dad and I visited Manotick for a day trip from Ottawa and stopped here for the first time. The gentleman (owner) was extremely friendly and pleasant to chat with, and when he found out we were first timers he offered us a little freebie which was a wonderful surprise. You could really tell he was just oozing pride in his creations, from which there were many to choose. We purchased some gingerbread and several buttertarts, including a brand new pineapple flavour- the very first batch they'd attempted, fresh out of the oven. It was incredible and I can't wait to eat the rest of the flavours too! Will definitely be back any time I feel like going for a drive to get a sweet treat.“

“Delicious cookies and egg buns. I haven't tried anything else yet but they are super yummy!!! Found this place thru Facebook ads for the masks they're making. . Great as well. Sturdy hand made and sealed..I believe it was 5$ preferred each. the masks are holding up great with everyday use... looking very fashionable I think🤩 Unlike most shops now adays, with the large crowds of homeless or less fortunate people, I've been twice and each time they not only allowed them to be in their store, but were kind to them and took time to speak to them I don't see alot of places do that usually someone looks homeless and they're asked to leave .. the woman who served me both times was kind and not rude at all.. during this tough times being kind goes a lonng way ..♡♡♡♡“

“l-Noor Bakery is a true hidden gem and the perfect example of a place that prioritizes substance over style. Don't come here expecting a fancy setup; come here for some of the most delicious food in the city. The menu is wonderfully simple, focusing on pies with options available on Meat and Chease. They are executed perfectly every single time. The flavours are authentic, fresh, and incredibly satisfying.
The absolute best part is the value for money. It's genuinely hard to find food at reasonable prices these days. A word of advice for new visitors: the seating is very limited. This is much more of a grab-and-go spot, perfect for a quick, delicious takeaway meal. If you're looking for simple, flavour-packed food that won't break the bank, Al-Noor Bakery is an absolute must-visit.“

“I recently visited this shawarma restaurant and tried the shawarma platter and the boneless crispy chicken. Both were absolutely delicious! The shawarma was flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, while the platter came with generous portions that made it very satisfying. The boneless crispy chicken was crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again!“

“japanese créam cheese bun is very good. La tarte pécane est délicieuse. Le pain blanc est bon. Le personnel est vraiment serviable et gentil. J'adore le mix franco-japonais 🙂“

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

“Expensive but butter and chocolate croissants are really good. Nice and crispy outside and so flaky. So buttery inside. Yum! Outside seating is a parking lot that’s fenced in so not the greatest atmosphere. Inside is loud and has a disorganized feeling. I got stuff to takeaway instead of staying. No way am I paying the price they wanted for a breakfast lol. But glad I tried the pastry. 🥐“

“Great injera, great service !“

“I absolutely love this place! The staff is amazing — so friendly and welcoming. They always know my order and really take the time to get to know you on a personal level, which makes every visit feel special. The coffee is consistently great, and the bagels are always fresh. The bagel breakfast sandwiches are hands down the best around! Prices are very reasonable, and the lunch meals are just as delicious — plus they even come with a drink. Can’t recommend this spot enough!“

“Great cinnamon buns, Nanaimo bars, cupcakes, cream egg brownies and peppermint Patties! Love that everything is vegan and nut free.“

“the natas tho“

“I kept hearing about Frank's from friends. Today I picked up 2 sandwiches and 6 butter tarts. The food was deliciously good and the staff were amazing. I'll definitely be going back.“
