The bread here is FANTASTIC!
They have tons of different loaves and baguettes. The breads are made fresh daily. The store closes really early, but you can go to Red Apron next door to buy whatever is left over.
They have all kinds of breads with really great ingredients, including sunflower seeds, flax, almonds, caramelized onions, and chocolate. The loaves are large and the average price is about $3-5.
My boyfriend is quite the picky eater, so I didn't want to get anything too fancy. I bought a large loaf of roasted garlic and rosemary bread for $3 even. The outside was very crusty, while the inside was soft and airy. There was rosemary all throughout, and even small chunks of roasted garlic inside. Generally, the bread was a bit salty and bitter, but that's exactly what I was looking for - perfect with butter! -

EXCELLENT BREAD.
The best in Ottawa? Probably. Easily in the top 3.
It is my favourite, that is for sure.
I've tried a few different breads that they make , and they were all great.
Someone I know described the bread as a little too "European" for them. "EXACTLY!!!! THAT'S WHAT I AM AFTER!!!!!" I thought.
I did however, shake my head disapprovingly knowing that this person just didn't get it!
Hours are 7am-1pm (It's a 2 person operation right now)
HOWEVER after 2pm anything that hasn't been sold for the day
goes on sale next door at The Red Apron, and there's usually an O.K. selection. Bonus: on saturdays they make egg-bread.
To understand great bread, you need to have great bread.
So get out and get educated at True Loaf.
