The gingerbread cookie that my sister ordered was so hard, I almost broke a fingernail trying to break off a piece (it was hard as a rock). The cookie lacked the traditional taste that gingerbread should have and when addressing this issue with the produce to staff, we were not helped. Please note these cookies are $5 each! The sugar cookie, while edible, was far from special. I would discourage people from visiting this establishment.

Been here before for pastries which were delicious so thought we would stop in for supper.
Bought a ham and cheese croissant with cheese on top and a Cajun chicken panini to share.
She asked if I wanted the cheese on the croissant melted and I said yes. To my dismay, she threw it in the microwave and it came out a soggy flat mess. The panini wasn’t even toasted and it took forever, I honestly don’t believe it was on or if it was, not high enough. It wasn’t even warm inside. The taste of both sandwiches were so underwhelming. Super disappointed in such a place in a high crowd market, expected way better food.

I ordered a cookie here today. I had the reindeer gingerbread cookie. It tasted like dirt, actually I think dirt taste better. I almost broke my tooth trying to eat it. The cookie was stale, I asked the lady if I could exchange it, she was unhelpful and refused. While the restaurant looks like it is Canadian, it’s actually a tourist trap. Save your money and go elsewhere I’m pretty sure Barack Obama spat it out

I visited during a busy long weekend and was impressed with the quick service I received. I purchased a few baked goods, and had to get the famous Obama cookie as well. Staff (bilingual) were friendly and helpful. They microwaved the mini pizza for me, but forgot about it until I reminded them that it was still in the microwave. The location is excellent, and there is a good amount of seating available both inside and outside on their patio. Definitely recommend the visit to anyone considering.

The cookies were beautiful, but inedible. My daughter who loves sweets said it tasted like cardboard. My other daughter said that they were like dog treats.

The display looks beautiful and very attractive. The staff only made a moderate effort, the croissant with chocolate and almond tasted like it had been there for several days and the cups for our hot chocolate were not washed properly, you could still see the previous lady's lipstick. No thanks!
It's better to go to BeaverTails on Parrallelstrasse!

Horrible experience. My partner and I were traveling to Ottawa to explore food and places. I have a sweet tooth so this place was a must to visit and I was so excited. There is a good selection of cakes, cookies and breads. However, the place was very disorganized. People who arrived after us were being attended first, even if the other people mentioned it, the ladies at the counter didn’t seem to care and kept attending them. The most terrible experience was when I started ordering and the lady grabbed the cake with her bare hands — without gloves! When I mentioned to her if she could grab the food with tongs she said it was not necessary because the desserts had plastic on the side and she was not touching it. However, her palm was still slightly touching the top of the cake. Disgusting experience. I didn’t order all the desserts I wanted after seeing that. Quality and flavour are not the best and they were pricey for the way they handled the food. I would never come back and would never recommend this place.

Located in the center of the byward market. Bustling crowds on the weekends. Has a large variety of sweets and cookies. Kids enjoyed the variety of Halloween cookies available.

I usually avoid this place for a number of reasons, but my family was visiting and they wanted to go here. I wish I had said something, first the service was horrible, our soups were dumped into a bowl from a plastic container and warmed in the microwave. They were forgotten in the microwave while other customers were helped. My partner ordered a sandwich that was left on the press for too long, completely forgotten. It was only after we mentioned it that it was taken care of.

Secondly I was told my card wasn't working, but it certainly was. I was made to feel like it was entirely my fault and not a connection issue with the machine.

Thirdly, food preparation station is used for everything.

The place is always filthy, in the ten years I've lived downtown I've only ever seen it "clean" when it was closed.

We enjoyed coffee and pastries here on a crisp fall day. It seems to be a popular spot for tourists but I don’t mind that. It has plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor, the staff were all friendly, you can access the inside of Byward Market from the back of the cafe.
