The Ottawa Bakery

This was the highlight of downtown Ottawa! We are visiting from out of town at the little cabins and needed some breakfast pastries. We ended up getting a good assortment. Are it so quickly that I forgot to take pictures. The cherry almond scone was my favorite. It was moist and had huge cherry chunks. The oatmeal Whoopi pie was also delicious! It was a family favorite. The cream inside tasted like pumpkin. The oatmeal cookie on the outside was chewy and soft in the middle and crispier on the edges. The cookies were gobbled up by the kids. The Apple fritter was okay (per my husband, he said too sweet). The cinnamon bun was recommended by the cabin and also good.
The staff was so sweet and even gave bubbles for the kids! Cute sitting area outside too.

I had a chocolate croissant and it was wonderful! Very busy, and not much space to eat inside, great to just order and take to eat outside. They offered to warm up my pastry as well which I thought was a nice touch!

Parked downtown on a chilly morning to walk around downtown. Happened to walk past the bakery and went in. The cozy unassuming entryway yielded to a stunning variety of quality made pastries. I had a stuffed croissant (breakfast bomb) and my wife had the quiche. Both were excellent. The coffee and tea game is not strong, but the pastries and baked goods are very good.

My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting this little gem on our travels from Kansas City. The warm hospitality and cheer from staff and customers was a delight. Every local coming through the door was greeted by name and friendly banter ensued. This is the Cheers of bakeries, and the only thing better than the atmosphere is the AMAZING from-scratch pastries. The bear claw. GET. IT. 👏🏻👏🏻 So crazy good! The sausage+egg+cheese croissant was flaky and buttery and scrumptious. The quiche was perfection in every bite. So glad we stopped here… you should do the same!

We used this bakery for our wedding and they did not disappoint! I have gluten & dairy allergies and they made sure I had a wedding cake I could enjoy. Just absolutely delicious and so friendly!

We traveled to Ottawa from Chicago to Vacation near the river. So glad we went to the Ottawa Bakery. The cake Donuts were so light and fluffy! We also got a few pieces of their blueberry bundt cake, and it was fantastic. The raspberry scones were rich and wonderful. They had a extensive fresh made cookie selection including Hershey's Kisses within the peanut-butter cookies. without Question I give the Ottawa Bakery five stars!

I stayed at the Getaway cabins there in Ottawa. The Ottawa Bakery was on the list of 'must visits.' So I did on my way out to my second leg of my vacation. I chose the cinnamon roll amd a lemon bar. Both were real yummy.

I've always ordered my girls' birthday cakes here and I've never been disappointed, but today Holli really went above and beyond for me! Being completely full of orders for Saturday and still accepting my order and making sure to get all of the details, even stating she can go and purchase a cut out if she doesn't already have it! I will NEVER order from another bakery! If you haven't been here, you need to go!! (Attaching pictures of some of the Birthday cakes she's made for me previously!)

Great service and hospitality! Sugar cookies were absolutely amazing!

Best bakery for any event big or small! We used her for our wedding and everything was perfect. Now we stop in every time we come to town.

10/10 would recommend! My mothers birthday was yesterday and she likes the cakes from O&H bakery in Wisconsin. I wanted to shop local and I asked if it possible to make a similar cake, ottawa bakery didn't disappoint! I think we like this cake much better! Thanks for an awesome cake 🎂 definitely had a happy momma bear!

This little bakery is so cute and charming. All there treats are made in house. The staff was so nice and friendly. I went during the Chriskindle Mart, so it was very picked over. However, they had some raspberry thumb prints and a couple other treats left. Magnificent. Probably the best thumb print cookies I've had.

Excellent bread

Placed an order for two baguettes as they were out and was told they can sell out quickly

I can see why.

Very airy and light, with perfect amount of air pockets on the inside with moderate crunch on the outside. Not as much crunch as thinner baguettes though.

Didn't buy anything else as I knew I'd eat a whole baguette to myself in a day.

Will definitely be returning.

BEST BIRTHDAY CAKE EVER! Our daughter Ava wanted to create her own cake for her 9th Bday! It was a complicated one: chocolate layers with ice cream in between, Oreo crumbs on the sides, chocolate spilled plus a Yorkie face with a pink bow on top of it. It was fun to see Ava give Holly, the owner, all the details of the cake. Holly and her staff did an AMAZING JOB and, in addition, they created cupcakes that mimicked the cake! Birthday cake and cupcakes were a HUGE SUCCESS and TASTED ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!

Large assortments of tasty cookies,muffins and much more. The gal was very cordial and helpful as I told her I wanted an assortment of treats to take to an office.

This is a quintessential American bakery! Ottawa is fortunate to have this gem. Delicious pecan roll. Good to the last bite. Tempting to lick the plate😂

Delicious 😋 donuts, and the sausage egg and cheese croissant was a big hit with the Little One. Friendly Service, too!

Love this place! If you're in Ottawa, you need to stop. Bakery products are delicious. Breakfast bombs are awesome

It was our first time there. Great selection, friendly atmosphere, prices reasonable and bakery goods delicious. Definitely will go back.

Fabulous croissants. The almond one is really outstanding. Great baguettes, but I am 1 for 4 in actually scoring one. No matter what time I go they are not ready or they are out of them. Not sure what the secret is. Coffee basic, it really is just more of a bakery. Nothing is labeled, would be kind of nice to know what things are, I would actually probably buy more! Pay attention to the hours, they are limited.
