“Lovely place and best of all its PET FRIENDLY!! See the smiles it’s all about the PIZZA“

“Holy cow, that was delicious“

“If you want simple and unpretentious food, this is the place. Can’t go wrong with a poutine (perfect amount of gravy). They even offer breakfast. The place is small, only a few tables to sit and eat but the atmosphere is nice, hasn’t changed in years. Although service is not the most welcoming, they’re nice and fast. Support small local businesses. Bonus points since they have a little store next door with a huge selection of craft beer.“

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

“Original et délicieux 👍 Fait changement des restaurants de pizza a Aylmer“

“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. Amazing service, exceptional coffee and food, and wonderful catering. Geoff and his staff always greet their customers with a smile and bend over backwards for anyone who visits. Many thanks!“

“Visited while on a trip to Ottawa, so glad we did. Staff are super friendly and accommodating, lots of games to choose from (although we brought our own from a recent purchase at Imaginaire and they charge you less if you bring your own games so, bonus!). We didn't have any food but the cappucino I had was fabulous (and a great portion size). The nerd trivia upstairs on Monday seemed fun, although not our topic (Star Trek not being either of our forte). This is a great place, highly recommended.“

“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“

“Their Almond Croissant is to die for.“

“Dispute being full and having high ceilings w/ hard surfaces, it wasn't very loud, which is makes enjoying the food much more enjoyable.

The coffee is delicious, it's always such a treat when a restaurant has an actually good cup of coffee.“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Corner Peach. The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable but this does not get in the way of good humour and natural charm. Every staff member we interacted with made the experience that much better and the food was perfectly portioned for a dinner for two. Really impressed with the service, especially navigating a gluten and dairy free menu“

“service, quality, fresh to order, tasty, value“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Very welcoming, great place to grab some fresh baked goods that taste amazing!“

“If you are a tourist in Ottawa definitely walk to this cafe . The vibe here is amazing with a lots of bikes inside the cafe , and the place smells like a new bike shop with amazing coffee.

Thier desserts menu is also great . We tried a
Afagato which filled us with energy to continue our walk in streets of Ottowa.“

“Recently stopped in to grab some breakfast sandwiches for my lovely co workers and they were delicious! The staff were very prompt on heating and packing 9 sandwiches for us, with a wait time of only 5 minutes :) I will definitely be returning for breakfast, thanks again!“

For more than 20 years, this establishment has been delighting us with perfectly roasted coffees and an impressive selection of healthy products. The warm atmosphere and friendly welcome make each visit special. Whether to taste exquisite coffee, discover quality local products or simply have a good time, La Brûlerie is the ideal place. An essential address for all lovers of good products and moments of relaxation. Well done to Alexy, the owner and the whole team.“

It’s a great place to go with friends, so you can order lots of dishes and share. Everything is so reasonably priced and the staff are always so friendly. I highly recommend! My go-to spot!“

“We were tired from walking so much in Parliament Hill area so we decided to come back to the hotel and ordered dinner from Cafe 1274. The soup of the day is cream of tomato. It's absolutely delicious and it tastes like home made. The large garden salad was of good portion and very fresh and crisp. The balsamic dressing is delicious and not overly sour. Baked penne has a good sourness to it which makes it refreshing and balances the cheese flavor. (The pasta is a bit too soft but kids like it) it was a very good meal! We ordered take out and ate in the room so I can't comment on the restaurant. The food was wrapped nicely and included all the cutlery and condiments we needed. The server was friendly and helpful.“

“Merci beaucoup, thanks very much for the super quick delivery of my 5lb bag Solstice Espresso beans!! Next bag, I think I will drive up to Wakefield & have an excellent flat white at the café.“

“best bubbletea and awesome drink“

“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!!“

“The staff were polite and cheery and the food was generally great. My one complaint is that they didn't seem to know how to steam milk too well but I didn't really mind. I was more interested in the tarts. Love that they had vegan and gf options. Vegetarian options for lunch as well.“

“Amazing Italian food from pasta, salad, panni to desserts - all incredibly delicious! This cafe style restaurant with its friendly and wonderful service has become a favorite lunch spot for our office. They also offer a gluten free pasta option.“

“Great atmosphere, lots to do for the whole family.“

“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 really enjoyed the environment, very quiet on Sunday afternoon, the food was okay: my ice mocha was a little sweet and the croissant felt fresh and crunchy.
My concern is the cleaning, I understand is Sunday and is a busy day but looked a little neglected, even so the workers are very friendly.“

“My new favourite hangout! The live music scene is top notch! Great that they are supporting local music! Amazing Scotch menus as well as fab cocktails! Love the ambience! The lighting is perfect. Great service! The music in between sets is perfect. Come out and show some love ❤️“

“Simply the best coffee. Tout simplement le meuilleur café. Freshly roasted, and ground onsite for your preferred coffee-making approach (espresso, conic filter, drip, etc.). Just ask for what you’re looking for in flavour profile, and they will help you find a beautiful new coffee.“

“good and healthy food.“

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

“Always good food. They never let me down“

“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!“
