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!

Great creative variations on classics. Very good coffee too.

Orange Turtle was on our list for a while and we finally decided to give it a try this morning. Needless to say, the scones were delicious and the service was excellent! This bakery is such a great addition to the neighbourhood!

Amazing bakery! The owner is so kind and personable. The brownies are to die for. I stopped in here just because I was in the area with some time to kill and I saw the sign, but I would make the trip downtown just to go back.

Tucked just beyond the bustle of the ByWard Market lies a hidden gem of a bakery that instantly welcomes you with its calm, inviting atmosphere. This cozy spot feels like a peaceful escape, and the pastries are nothing short of extraordinary—flaky, rich, and bursting with flavor, each one clearly crafted with care and precision. What truly sets this place apart is the personal touch: we had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, who graciously walked us through their selection, offering thoughtful explanations that made the experience feel warm and authentic. Though seating is limited, it’s part of their slow and intentional rollout, and the quality of the offerings more than makes up for it. Open only from Friday to Sunday, this bakery is a weekend must-visit—quietly tucked away, but unforgettable once discovered. We will be back.
PS: The espresso hazelnut cookies were the delicious!

Absolutely delightful bakery. The scones and coffee are phenomenal. The savoury cheese and cheddar as well as the feta sunflower seed scone are top notch! Would recommend to anyone!

I found Orange Turtle randomly on Google Maps and I am glad to have tried it. I bought many items to try and all of them were made using quality ingredients and tasted delicous. I especially loved the cheese & chives scones, it was so flavourful. I also really enjoyed the blueberry and almond slices scone ! It’s also nice to have classical music (or jazz I think?) in the background when I was choosing my goods creating a cozy atmosphere.

Stumbled across this unique place today, and we are very happy we did! Very friendly owner, atmosphere, coffee, music and baked goodies were amazing - an hour flew by. We will be back for sure
Both visits have been great. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. Everything we’ve tried has been great. I like that they have GF options. Highly recommend the cranberry coconut scone.

We lucked out walking down St Patrick Street when we came across this jewel of a bakery! Their coffee was not only amazing I was assured if we didn’t like it, we would get our $ back. It was awesome and the treats were great. GF cookie was great and the loaf my wife had was delicious! We will be heading back tomorrow morning to experience it all over again. And such friendly service. Wow!!

We had a great first experience here! Definitely a hidden gem! The owner was very welcoming, friendly and nice. We tried the cookies, cranberry + coconut scone and the apricot cake which were all so good! They are always trying new and different recipes so we will be back to try more! :) They also have gluten free options.
