1. Aux Délices Boulangerie Et Patisserie / Bakery & Pastry Shop
Aux Delices is a great little dessert shop in the Market. They make all sort of desserts and baked goods, including breads, cookies, tarts, flans, cakes, pies, french pastries, baklava, and chocolates.
Their truffles are very rich and chocolatey, and…More »
2. Bagelshop & Deli
I was taking a walk down Wellington one day and smelled fresh bread. I wasn't looking for anything to eat, but the smell made me hungry.
I walked around for a bit, checking out all their different items. They offer tasty and healthy breakfast and…More »
3. BeaverTails Pastry
Ah, my love for BeaverTails. I can't tell you how many times I've made my way over to this stand. I've had so many of their flavours, but it's my goal to one day try them all. I've had cinnamon and sugar, Killaloe Sunrise, chocolate hazelnut, apple…More »
4. Beavertails
If you live in the St. Laurent area and need a quick Beavertail fix, this location is extra convenient. It's right in the food court of the mall, a perfect place for anyone to get a sweet snack without having to bus or drive to downtown to wait at an…More »
5. Booster Juice
This Booster Juice is so great. It has a great location and awesome service. The last time I went, the girls that were behind the counter were able to make really helpful suggestions, blend the juices well and fast, and do it all with a smile. They…More »
6. Bread & Sons Bakery
I couldn't avoid it any longer! I just had to have one of their famous pizza slices! I always see them walking by, and everyone always stops to see what's on the menu. There were a lot of people in the bakery, all picking up a late lunch, snack, or…More »

This is such a great bakery! It's very quaint, located right on Bank Street. They are organic and… Read more »
7. Bridgehead
I came here on a summer night with a friend to play catch-up. I'd seen many locations here in Ottawa (MAYBE 1 in Toronto), so it was nice to give it a try. The place was pretty packed, but there wasn't too much space to begin with. We sat on one of…More »
8. Bridgehead
Ottawa, ON K1Y 3A8
(613) 725-5500
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea,
Internet Cafes
I met up with a friend at this Bridgehead for some coffee, but once we got there, we decided against the coffee and got lemonade and a chocolate chip cookie instead. The cookie was under $2, but the lemonade cost me over $3 for what couldn't have…More »
9. Bubblicity Tea Shop
This is the first time I've ever been to a Bubblicity location. The second we walked in, my brother and I, having lived in Mississauga, both realized that it reminded us a lot of a place named Bubble Republic. The walls were a soft yellow, and…More »
10. ByWard Fruit Market
The Fruit Market is conveniently located right in the heart of ByWard Market, so you absolutely cannot miss it. The many different vendors sell a wide selection of both organic and non-organic fruits and vegetables. They have exotic fruits, baby…More »
11. Continental Delicatessen
After buying some fresh bread in the Market, my mom wants to get some meat to make sandwiches, and we found Continental Delicatessen.
They have such a wide selection of deli meats, fresh meats, specialty meats, and sausages. They focus mainly on…More »
12. Café 55
Ottawa, ON K1N 9C3
(613) 241-2555
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
This cafe is so convenient and so great for when you want a light, fresh, and delicious lunch. I came here with a friend on Canada Day, and since it's right in the middle of ByWard Market, you would expect it to be crazy busy, but the line was moving…More »
13. Casa Nicastro Delicatessen
Nicastro is a really great specialty food shop in Little Italy. It's right on Preston, in the building right before you hit the "Little Italy" sign on the bridge. It's a family run business, with a couple and daughter, from what I saw.
It's a small…More »
14. Di Rienzo Grocery & Deli
MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!
I went to Di Rienzo's for the first time yesterday. I'm not going to lie - it took me a little while to find it. I walked down Preston but didn't know which way to turn on Beech, since it didn't look like there would be any businesses…More »
15. Edible Arrangements
Edible Arrangements has locations all over the world, and it's great to see one here in the heart of Ottawa. This particular store is independently owned and operated. They offer many different fruit and chocolate arrangements and dessert boxes for…More »
16. Euro Baguette
Euro Baguette is a really great sandwich place inside the Loeb Cafe at Carleton University. It's below tunnel level, and has a bunch of tables for eating and studying.
The Loeb Cafe is actually a bunch of restaurants. There's Pizza Pizza, a noodle bar…More »
17. The French Baker / Le Boulanger Français
This is one of those places that every bread-lover should visit. They have such a great selection of different gourmet breads, including baguettes, croissants, turnovers, and organic choices, as well as different flavors and textures. They also have…More »
18. Herb & Spice Food Shop
In terms of selection, this place is pretty great. There are a lot of spices and supplements, as well as natural, organic, and vegan-friendly foods and products here that you will have a hard time finding elsewhere. They have sections for vitamins,…More »
19. The House of Cheese
Let's just say that the name of the shop is more than fitting! They carry so many different kinds of cheeses, some that you've never heard of or even knew existed. Hard, soft, creamy, sharp, bold.. whatever. The prices can get a bit rough for extra…More »
20. International Cheese & Deli
While walking around the Market, and after picking up some fresh bread, I came across the International Cheese and Deli. The store isn't very big, and there are only a few staff members, though all friendly and knowledgeable.
I browsed around for a…More »
21. Marcello's Market & Deli
My boyfriend took me here on his lunch break one weekday. We weren't sure what we wanted to eat and he suggested we go here for the buffet-style lunch. I had never even heard of Marcello's before and was glad to try something different. This…More »
22. Michel's Baguette
Michel's Baguette is a new bakery cafe in the Rideau Centre. It's on the third floor, right before you get to the Mackenzie King bus station. I believe another similar cafe was here before it, so if you never pay too much attention to those things,…More »

(613) 695-6543
Categories:
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Coffee & Tea
My cousin and I were walking around Chinatown on a Sunday night, looking for a bubble tea shop. Being from the Greater Toronto Area, we were hoping to find a place that had a decent taste for a decent price. Of course, we knew that the selection here…More »
24. Oh So Good Desserts & Coffee House
Oh So Good is great in the winter time, though the decor is a bit dark and could use a bit more 'warmth', as their hard wooden tables and chairs can be a bit uncomfortable. They open late and close late.
I came here in January with a small group of…More »
25. Parkdale Market
After hearing about Parkdale Market from a few people, I thought I'd check it out during the summer. I went on Canada Day and a couple other times after that, but, unfortunately, the shops were closed every single time! I took a peek at their prices,…More »

Categories:
Canadian (New),

Richtree Market Restaurants (formally Marché) are usually found in shopping centres in the Greater Toronto Area, with the exception of this location at the Rideau Centre. If you've never been to one before, it's an open-concept restaurant made to…More »
27. Roosters
Roosters is quite a popular spot for Carleton students and professors. It's always packed in the morning and at lunch. There's usually a lineup and you're lucky if you can find a table to sit at. If you do, your spot's pretty much secured for however…More »
28. Second Cup
This might be really embarrassing, but I think this was actually the first time I've ever been to Second Cup. My cousin lives near Ottawa U and while we were walking around the area, we stopped in for a coffee.
This location has quite a bit of…More »
29. Starbucks Coffee Company
Every time I'm at South Keys, I find myself at Chapters. I don't necessarily have any particular book in mind that I want to buy, but I'm the type that just like to browse around. The Starbucks inside has it's own entrance, but you can also access it…More »
30. Tea Store
This is a great little shop in ByWard Market. They have such a wide variety of teas in boxes and bags, and loose leaf tea in jars, as well as other tea-related items and products. There are literally hundreds of different kinds of teas from all over…More »

Ottawa, ON K1Y 3A6

Categories:
Caterers,
Specialty Food,

I first heard about Thyme & Again from a professor of mine that brought cookies to class. Their chocolate and pecan cookies are very good, but their sour cherry Linzer cookies are, to this day, my absolute favourite. I have never had a Linzer cookie…More »
32. Timothy's World Coffee
I used to live in the Sandy Hill area, and on my way home one day, I decided to give Timothy's a try. I'm not at an an avid coffee drinker, but I really wanted a mocha. I had actually never been to any Timothy's locations before, and this was my…More »
33. True Loaf Bread Company
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…More »
34. Cafe Supreme
**This is no longer Cafe Supreme!**
What is the new place called, you ask? Well, you know what? I have no idea.. and neither do the staff. After hearing how great their sandwiches were, I finally stopped in to check it out, and just as my luck would…More »
