Cafes near Vanier

“Without a doubt, one of the funnest evenings I’ve had in years. Food and drinks were reasonably priced delicious and well versatile for any pallet. Hundreds of different styles of board games and game consoles to choose from. Enjoy laughing stories and games with up to four people. Definitely would recommend they open more locations across Canada. 🇨🇦“

“Amazing little place!! Very friendly and delicious waffles.“

“Geoff and his staff at Morning Owl Woodward prepared a delicious sandwich, veggie, fruit and pastry lunch for our staff at Halpenny Insurance. Morning Owl is a real gem in the Carlington community.

“What a 'peach' of a place.....wonderful food, such lovely staff and great, warm atmosphere. We were visiting Ottawa from UK and found this 'peach' while walking on a cold evening having arrived at our 'guest house' which turned out to be a horror! We both feel it was worth staying there just to have had two wonderful meals here..the cocktails were fab!! Thank you for lifting our spiritsxxx“

A great little downtown stop with consistently positive experiences.“

“Great and quiet place in the Heart of downtown Ottawa for you to enjoy a cup of coffee and that strawberry scone hmmmmmm Ok my favourite is their Moka“

“What a wonderful little spot. The atmosphere inside is so inviting and hip - makes you feel like you're in a hidden gem of Ottawa. I had a peppermint hot chocolate and it was delicious, paired with a tasty chocolate croissant. I was very pleased that I had wandered in this place and I will definitely be returning. Maybe even during the summer...to get my bike fixed!“

“Best salads ever - authentic, creative and satisfying. Recommended!“

“Dining experience: Casual lunch with freshly prepared sandwiches and smoothies

The atmosphere at the Green Bean Cafe was vibrant and welcoming, and we were pleased to find that there was no wait to be seated. Classical piano music played softly in the background, creating a calm and pleasant environment. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the owner, which added a personal touch to the experience.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee immediately caught our attention, making the cafe feel cozy and inviting. For our meal, we decided to try their toasted deli sandwiches paired with freshly made smoothies. Both were flavorful and satisfying, making it a perfect choice for a light lunch or an afternoon snack.“

“Nous sommes des véganes de Lanaudière et avons décidé d’essayer ce petit café lors d’un séjour à Gatineau (notre autre et unique restaurant végane à Gatineau préféré ayant fermé temporairement). Nous n’avons pas été déçus et avons adoré les spéciaux pour la St-Valentin. Quel délice!“

“We have been to Chef Ric’s a few times. It is located in our daughter’s neighbourhood. The staff is lovely, the food is fresh and very good and the value is amazing. Love how welcoming and inclusive it is. Congratulations to the entire Chef Ric’s team! Keep making yourselves proud!“

“I love haunting new coffee places and this one so far has been my favorite! The lattes are just great and are worth the price
The staff are so kind and nice
If you are looking for a coffee shop! You won't regret coming here!!!“

“Wonderful, inclusive folks! Very nice staff, who were very helpful. This may seem like an odd thing to say, but it was really great that they made sure they rented an accessible portable washroom for their large market event. As I was sporting crutches (I recently broke my ankle), it was a total life saver that I didn’t need to take the stairs! Not sure if the port-a-potty is an “always” thing, but just the fact that they had it for their street market when so many folks wouldn’t even think of it made me grateful. Thank you for being the loveliest hosts! I’m not a coffee or tea drinker, but I’ll certainly tell all my friends about how kind the staff were!“

“Wonderful place to have authentic experience and see all the First Nations, Métis and Inuit artwork and gifts. Fantastic selection of items to purchase. Miigwetch.“

Cozy and cute, decor is nice and tables well placed. Music was low or off, perfect for reading.
Brownie was sooo oowey gooey
Cappuccino was well made but beans are VERY dark and no choice of lighter roast.
Will come back“

“Pleasant experience. The energy bites were a nice surprise.“

“This is the greatest little coffee shop. I made a mistake this morning in thinking that they opened at 8:30 when it is written 9:30, so I walked over from the Saint Paul's Library (been here since 6am) to get a really tasty americano. When I got there the door was locked, however, a very nice gentleman opened the door and I mentioned that Facebook said it was open at 8:30 (which was the mistake). No problem, a little frustrated I walk away but he calls me back in and makes me a very nice coffee to take back. Service like this is hard to find nowadays, so I am very grateful for the coffee and the kindness. Thank you!!“

“A quiet little hole in the wall place that makes you want to just bring a book and hang out in one of their recliners with a chai latte (theirs are amazing!). Their cookies are what Crumbl wish they could be. They are well cooked but still soft. Exactly what you want in a meal sized cookie.“

“Hidden coffee shop located inside a free Ottawa museum. A nice welcome stop after visiting the museum.

Note: You order at the bar and the server brings it to you at your table. I recommend making the customer wait at the bar until the order is ready - simply put, when its busy the staff sometimes takes longer to bring the order at the table.“

“good and healthy food.“

“Very impressed with this shisha lounge. Top notch service unmatched by any I have been to. Great atmosphere. Customer service is beyond amazing! The shisha, the tea and coffee were all top notch! Fresh and delicious appetizers. Hands down best in town!“

“Great location and patio at the Bank street location! Tasty coffees, treats and snacks! Friendly staff and lots of variety of places to sit at and work or read. Overall atmosphere and calm could be much improved for working, reading -!3 conversation with less distracting music choices. There’s lots of cool stuff out there that is softer and makes for easier listening. Just a thought, I like the spot anyway and visit regularly.“

“I ordered the Chicken Alfredo and the food was excellent. I would recommend serving a larger piece of bread to better enjoy the sauce. I ended up with a small amount of delicious sauce left over, but I was extremely tired from a long overnight road trip and didn’t think to ask for extra bread.

I deducted one star solely due to the bread, or because a bit more pasta could have balanced the dish better. The chicken-to-pasta ratio was perfect, and overall it was genuinely delicious.

I would definitely order it again if I’m back at the hotel or nearby.“

“The most beautiful view from the window. You can see the Parliament buildings, the National War memorial, and Chateau Laurier.“

“Service was friendly & quick,great food and delicious pies.“

“My favorite bridgehead in Ottawa! I have had many moments at this special locations with both my private and work life. The service at this location is amazing and well managed, it’s usually busy as it’s at a very convenient meeting location near the highway!“

“In true Iraqi fashion, you’re treated like a guest in someone’s home.
This place offers a beautiful slice of culture. It’s the perfect place for a nice conversation.
If you’ve never tried Iraqi coffee (often referred to as Qahwa), you are missing out on one of the most aromatic and soulful coffee traditions in the world. It isn’t just a drink; it’s a gesture of hospitality.
The owner offer sometimes free
warm, spiced chickpeas (Iraqi Lablabi) or a chopped fresh fruit platter.
Highly recommended coffee shop.“

“Hubby and I's fave lunch spot :) We bring our two young kids here too from time to time and they love it too. Large portions, tons of nutritious options, and we love the bright and airy space too. Highly recommend!“

“They are surprisingly well located in the industrial park for all the people working there as well as the customers waiting for services.
Little gem in the area.
All their food is fantastic. We will return to the furniture side, it is far from comfortable or modern.
I hope they will fix the problem with the toilet on the women's side, I showed them what the problem was I hope it will be fixed.
I'll come back soon to check...“

“My wife and I by chance had an appointment in the building and decided to have lunch. We split the 2 egg Masala sandwich and the butter chicken poutine…wow! Just wonderful, amazing flavours, pleasant friendly staff too. We’ll be going there again even if it’s out if our way, highly recommend Chai Talks.“
