We would have liked more time at our table or at least being asked to move to the bar or to the patio perhaps to continue visiting perhaps. Friends were coming together from out of town. There is a notice about the time limit on the table, however we were having such a nice time, it went to quickly.“

“Having had a delicious plant based meal, this is the place to go for 100% vegan and homemade food.

Ideas for your visit
- check out the specials on the wall
- check the ingredients because they have them (if you have allergies)
- have great conversation with those around you

Note: the bathroom is down the hall. Cutlery is real and it cuts well.

I would recommend it.

Dietary restrictions: I asked for the ingredients list and I was able to determine which soup to have based on my dietary needs. Thank you!!“

“This was our second visit to Dreamland and it certainly won't be our last. Once again, the food - apps, mains, and dessert - were exceptional and accompanied by friendly and prompt service. I think we'll soon become regulars here.“

“Fantastic bakery! The croissants are insanely good and the smores bars are to die for! Everything is the perfect amount of sweetness and not too sugary. Would go here again and again.“

“Charming outdoor seating, friendly staff and eclectic menu.“

“Un petit glacier très discret, mais où les glaces sont étonnantes. La mienne était aux chocolat et aux piments, un vrai délice.
Les autres glaces sont aussi très bonnes.
De plus, l'équipe est jeune, dynamique et sympathique.
Une très belle découverte d'Ottawa !“

“Had a night impromptu dinner and had a nice experience. Our server Arabella was super nice and very helpful helping me navigate the payment method as we had a gift card that evening. And must say the burgers are the best ad with 1.99 upgrades will keep us coming back! Great job!!“

“I was on a trip to Ottawa downtown today and we found this hidden gem as a surprise. We ordered the Quiche feta parsley and Spinach Swirl. Both of them tasted delicious. We went to order again before we left Ottawa. I definitely recommend to visit this shop when you are nearby.“

“Excellent food. Service terrific Nice bistro“

“I had a great experience with this bakery! Our company had an event a while back and ThimbleCakes was able to accommodate our last-minute request. Instructions were followed perfectly and the cake exceeded my expectations - they were able to make it look exactly as I imagined. The cake itself was delicious. Not a single person was able to tell that it was a vegan cake, either. It was perfectly moist and the frosting wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. Service was 10/10 - great communication and pleasant to interact with :) I highly recommend ThimbleCakes and I'm already looking for an excuse to order another cake...“

“yummy treats! as a vegan, it's amazing to have so many options. My daughter loves their donuts. I am a sucker for their delicious lattes- best coffee in town. I also appreciate that they wear masks. as someone with a disability, this is one of the few establishments left that I feel safe going too. tha k you, LJB!!“

“Amazing experience! I had the Fish'n Chips. Great quality, and the cookies, yum!! We tell all my downtown friends to check this place out!“

“I want to thank the whole family of the restaurant, kind and responsive. They helped me in a difficult moment of my life. They provided assistance. I am very grateful to Catherine Ronald Marilyn for their kind hearts and decency. Also the large team of workers for their support and delicious food ❤️❤️❤️Sincerely, Natalia.“

“e had a fantastic experience with Topper's Pizza in Barrhaven! The salesperson was courteous and made the ordering process smooth and easy. We ordered a Cheese, Pepperoni, and Deluxe pizza, and all of them were excellent. The Deluxe pizza, in particular, was a big hit—it was packed with flavor and delicious toppings. Our pizzas were ready on time, and everything was hot and fresh. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving great pizza!“

“Forgot to take a picture before I chomped into a cookie lol. The lady there was really nice, unfortunately when I went they didn’t have any oatmeal raisin cookies or their brookies but no problem because the other cookies are still really tasty! My favourite out of the batch is the carrot & cream cheese one. The store is a bit small which isn’t an issue to me at all

Vegetarian options: They have an Apple crumble cookie which was vegan

Kid-friendliness: Worker there was just really nice“

“I love Paradise Poke and am a pretty regular customer but : the girl who prepared my meal today, which included handling my food directly with her gloved hands, turned around and punched in my order on the screen and then turned over the screen to me for me to complete my purchase so I also touched the screen. That made be uncomfortable. Touching my food and the screen that all of the customers also touch… what’s the point of wearing gloves? The person preparing food should not also be doing the cash.“
