Byward Café, situated in the heart of Ottawa, offers an array of high-quality breakfast options, delectable coffee, and delightful red velvet cake and pastries. Customers praise the exceptional service, reasonable prices, and bright atmosphere with ample windows. The family-owned café is a favorite among many, thanks to the fresh and top-notch ingredients used in their dishes.
The café is described as a "nice little nook in the market" with a "good view of the activity outside." The staff is commended as "very friendly," and the food, though initially appearing "over-priced" and "ok," is praised for its deliciousness, with the croissant, salad, and lemon meringue being highlights. The café is also noted for its cozy ambiance and good portions at decent prices.
While some may have initially thought the café could be a "tourist trap," it is frequented by locals for their daily breakfast. The cappuccino is described as "amazing," and the ability to drink it from a mug rather than paper cups is appreciated. The chicken and bacon panini is also praised, and customers look forward to trying the cakes on their next visit.
