Went to this wonderful bakery on Dec 23, for bread and delicious Tuscan tea cake. I waited in line outside, as per covid restrictions. When it was my turn to enter, we were informed that there was no more bread, fresh or frozen....understandable. I said too bad we all waited outside. The reply from the owner was "we don't need this abuse". I was dumbfounded! There was Tuscan tea cake, but I just turned around and left. I will NEVER go back! I put it down to her being totally overwhelmed. Clearly, it's just a hobby for her, since they're closed 50% of the time.

Had the milk chocolate cake and I was delicious, I was able to order one within 24h of needing it and they customized the top for me. You can tell they care when you buy it and they mention when you should take it out and let it sit.

I''ve always loved this bakery, everything I had tried was always fresh and delicious until yesterday. I ordered two dark chocolate cupcakes, they packaged them, I paid and off I went. Later that evening I opened the box to serve my cupcakes and you could see the old icing on the cupcake. They had put newer icing on top of the old icing to make it look fresh. I know times are tough right now but that's quite deceitful. I ended up throwing out the cupcakes, I had no idea how old they were. Really disappointed with this bakery. Cheating your consumers, not nice at all.

Best croissants in Ottawa. Yes the butter is plentiful but so is the care and pride. They make great products

My rule for myself is to consume good quality of carbs and this place is my to go to when I have my cravings. Truly satisfying and all worth the calories!!

Best bread in Ottawa hands down! Owners and staff always friendly

I really like the cupcakes and they arent too over prices but the actual cakes are really expensive and on top of that their hours really suck to be honest, only Wednesday to Saturday and only I think 11-4? Makes it hard to come here when I want to but its redeeming quality is those cupcakes, the rich French chocolate one is my favorite.

Amazing people, wonderful bakery. I would especially note their raisin bread (Thursdays only) is the best ever, if you like it dense and chewy. The chocolate croissants are to die for. Strongly recommend getting both fresh out of the oven at opening time - chocolate will be molten. Yum!

I buy my bread here weekly (and have been for the past year) because it is hands down the best in Ottawa.

Great service and value. We recently ordered some squares for an event and asked them to be cut up in bite sized pieces. They were delicious and well presented each in their own paper and convenient to pick up in pizza boxes for us to put out on trays at our venue. They were recommended from a friend and I would recommend them for your self catered events too!

Ordered a french chocolate cake last month for a very special person's birthday with some detailing on it. The cake was scrumptious and the details I had asked were done so perfectly. I have always been a fan of there cupcakes but this was my first experience ordering a cake. The staff are very kind and the ingredients they use are so fresh,will definitely recommend
