“Absolutely incredible! A real diamond in the rough. This place is welcoming, friendly, comfortable, everyone seems like they’re family when they come in. They’re even dog friendly! I really can’t say enough amazing things about this place. It is going to quickly become my go to place in the area. Cozy up I. Front of the fireplace with your laptop or a good book, didn’t bring one? They’re got you covered!“

“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!“

“C'est notre endroit préféré pour de délieuse boisson caféiné ou non ! Personnellement le FLAT WHITE est vraiment mon coup de coeur et je trouve l'endroit super attrayant ! Bien accueuilli nous ne pouvons demander mieux. UN MUST à comparer le café StarLuck* qui d'après moi est over rated, over price et américain.“

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

“I’ve been coming here at least 1-2 times a week, and I can easily say they have the best, most fresh, and most reasonably-priced sushi in Ottawa! The owners are very nice and welcoming, they always greet every customer with a smile. ?I got the platters for a birthday party, which were a hit with the guests.I’ve never seen salmon and tuna this fresh in Ottawa. I usually go for the specialty rolls or tacos. I love the variety of the menu and how filled the tacos are.Highly recommend using their Google form to order since it’s quick, easy to use, and has all the menu items on there.“

“I got an Einspanner Salty Caramel Latte and it was the best thing ever. I try to discover new coffee places everytime I’m downtown for work, and this hidden gem was the best find of the week. Amazing customer service and even better drinks☕️? Totally recommend!!!“

“Papau new Guinea is amazing 😊“

“Wow 🤩 Un souvenir de mon voyage au Brésil (2017) Excellent!“

“The chocolate chai latte was so good it bright my wife to tears. Best video shop we’ve ever been to.“

“A favourite Ottawa hangout“

“Cute little cafe, great coffee. I always get a latte and it's always good. The inside is usually pretty full when I've been and it's a bit dark inside but has a unique atmosphere since it's in an old industrial kind of building. They also have a few outdoor tables which is nice. I've always walked or biked here but there is street parking and a small parking lot too.“

“Sélection exceptionnelle, personnel super sympa“

“Overpriced Sysco food, cocktail prices as high as a 5 star restaurant, cluttered interior, nasty kitchen with dirty dishes on food prep area.“

“Rambutan juice & panini is an excellent place to go! we went with family and loved their crepes, happy smoothies , club sandwiches ! amazing service, very good people , loved everything and prices are so reasonable 👌 would definitely recommend them to everyone :) they're also open late on weekends!“

“The puffs are always fresh. The boxes of 24 are a great price knowing that you will only have 24. I received 37 instead of 24 so fantastic. Be careful, however, of cross-contamination.

Dietary restrictions: Say your allergies if possible but be careful they don't care.

Parking: Large shared parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Lowered sidewalk, no steps“

“Love morning owl. Coffee and food is amazing, as are the staff. My daily go-to. 💕💕💕“

“Mr. Puff is a true sensation for dessert lovers. Their offering of light and crispy puffs, accompanied by various delicious toppings, is simply irresistible. Each bite is a perfect blend of texture and flavor. The welcoming ambiance and friendly service make the experience even more enjoyable. Whether it's for a little treat or a special celebration, Mr. Puff is the perfect choice to satisfy your sweet cravings.“

“Bridgehead on Wellington West is a reasonably large location with ample people watching opportunities (if that is your thing).The staff here are attentive and welcoming which lends to a good experience when you visit.With plenty of seating, you can almost always be sure to find a spot to sit and enjoy your coffee/tea/whatever.The age old question at this location is: which bathroom key is the most popular? The spoon, or the scoop? (there is a free undergrad sociology paper for someone)“

“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“

“Fabulous tea and delicious snacks“

“Friendly cafe with plenty of space. The savory scone was really good. Tried my first London Fog, as a Brit I'm undecided if I'd have it regularly, but it was good. Nice break from sweet food and coffee. Seems like the perfect cafe for studying in“

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

“A secret coffee shop under a church. Beautiful spot. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and it was very quiet. Nice place to hide, study, read. I loved the furniture and the big open space.

While we were there, a wedding was taking place in the church overhead. So we heard organ music and people walking down the aisle.

They sell a few pastries. We didn't have lunch while there, and I'd be curious to go back and try it. They also sell roseries and other catholic doodads.“

“I love LJB’s treats so much that even writing this recommendation has me adding some to my ubereats cart. But seriously their donuts are to die for, their events are amazing, and they always come up with the coolest ideas. My fave? They did a pancake cake!!!! What the heck so good“

“If coffee could flirt, it would do it here.

Cafe Delice is my new favorite escape from reality — partly because of the amazing coffee, and partly because the baristas look like they walked out of a fashion magazine. Two beautiful ladies behind the bar? Check. A handsome barista with charm and latte art skills? Double check.

I came in for a cappuccino and left with a full heart and slightly unrealistic romantic expectations.

The vibe is cozy, the espresso is smooth, and the staff could easily start a modeling agency on the side. 10/10 would let them judge my coffee order again.“

“Excellent pour over coffee.
Update: drip coffee was meh.
Didn't have pour over option anymore.

This isn't the same Bridgehead since the sales to 2nd cup.

Will stick with Happy Goat 🐐“

“Delicious gourmet donuts and coffee, what a delicious pairing. We tried the apple fritter donut and the sugar topped donut. Donuts would benefit from being a bit warmer, but they were both delicious with the apple fritter being the star of the show. You can get their coffee beverages either hot or cold and they do have cream, milk, and honey to add on the side. Cute pew seating and bright cafe makes for a great place to go to catch up with friends or read a book (when less busy).“

“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!“

“Simplement la meilleure boulangerie de la région. Tout est délicieux!“

“Absolutely best , high quality in Ottawa. Top of my list for all time coffee places . Very relaxing , amazing service.“

“Nice place but they are often out of cups to have coffee in the coffee shop. So you have to use a paper cup even if you are staying inside. It's a coffee shop - they should invest in a few extra cups!“

“I have been going to this Bridgehead since my first child was an infant - and back then it was my "big thing" for the day and as a new mom it meant I met lovely people and even met other moms there. More than 12 years later - I walked in yesterday and was reminded of what a great location this is. The staff are always friendly and the lattes are always delicious. Thank you for being a community space with food and coffee in our city!“

“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.“

“Stopped by for an ice cream treat on a hot day and loved watching them make it fresh with the chopping, blending, and rolling. I had the pistachio. It was creamy and not too sweet, though the flavor was a bit mild for my taste. My friend had the mixed berry but was hoping for a more tart flavor. Overall, a fun experience, just not quite our flavor style.“

“What an amazing experience. I can't have too much caffeine but I wanted to try a iced coffee but it had to be sweet.
These two amazing women went beyond and over to help me.
I wanted to take a minute to thank Sami & Breanne for the most epic customer service. I will definitely visit this location again.“

“Great coffee. Excellent location. Friendly place. Great service.“

“Before Covid this was a Great neighborhood Cafe. Today will not visit or give my hard earn money to. Baristar's are insufferable know it alls. Heavy Cream is against their policy to give to customers because of health concerns. One of the Stupid reasons. Pompous attitude.

Dietary restrictions: No understanding for my dietary restrictions.“

“Recommended by our B&B Australis House, we had an excellent meal here with our two grandsons. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. The selection is large enough that children and adults can select great meals. Our server was amazing with our grandsons aged 9 and 11, suggesting options that they truly enjoyed.“

“Luxe Blooms Flower Cafe is a flower shop and cafe located just kinutes away from Byward Market and the Parliament, making it a perfect, insta-worthy stop if you're around downtown Ottawa!

I ordered the Cherry Cute Matcha and the Oo-babe croffle, and both were presented stunningly! The Cherry Cute Matcha is decorated with small flower petals, which emits a pleasing smell while you drink it. The Oo-babe croffle was great as well, and not too sweet for the tooth.

Overall, with the atmosphere combined with the service and visually stunning food, I had a great time, and would recommend this place to anyone around the area! ❤️🌷“

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

“Thimble Cakes is an eclectic bakery that offers vegan ice cream and a variety of baked goods. I had two cupcakes: carrot cake and brookie. For being gluten-free, both were incredibly moist. Also, the frosting on top was creamy and light. I would definitely return for some ice cream or anything from their extensive amount of baked goods.“

“I loved this bridgehead - this was the best service I've had at a coffee shop. This spot is a nice place to study too!! They had delicious treats, but we got a regular hot chocolate and a small skimmed latte. The staff was super nice, and while the small latte was really tiny, the drinks were delicious.. Definitely coming back!!“

““What do you mean you’ve been here 20 years!”
That’s what I said to Tom when I walked into this coffee shop for the first time.
It is a pleasant surprise for me to find a “new” place that’s been around a while.
I noted Tom’s energy and passion for what he does. And Salyna rounded out the experience with her warm and inclusive demeanour. They make an amazing team.
Great house roasted coffee. Assorted house baked goods. An intimate patio. And a short walk to Commissioner’s Park (Tulip Festival) and Dow’s Lake.
Know I know!
I highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area.“

“I tried 2 different options. One was absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients. Real food and not processed. The second option was somewhat processed and didn't quite taste right. The 2 other people with me also loved it and their options were excellent. So 3/4 meals were top notch. It's atmosphere is contemporary and trendy. The service was amazing as well.“
