Parking was the only challenge, but I was less than a block away. I will be back!

I don't know how come this place gets many good reviews but every time I come there, the quality of…read morefood and service is very poor. A few times I bought the pastries there, and it was stale and not fresh. Today I asked the staff when the pastries on display were made, and they seemed to be confused at first, and then they had to admit that the pastries weren't prepared today. I ended up not buying them at all to not the risk of eating spoiled food. They told me that they also have fresh ones but why do they charge fresh and stale pastry for the same price then?! The drinks are mediocre. For instance, they charge almost 8 dollars for a small seasonal drink. It's not even good at all, as if tasteless. The overall atmosphere isn't welcoming due to the constant smell of burning, unfriendly stuff, and some of the kitchenware seems to be not cleaned well, for instance, the toaster, there is a lot of soot on it that constantly burns. The stuff isn't suitable for working in hospitality. They seem to not be interested in what they're doing, and that's why they do it badly and don't put much effort. That is what happens when the owner hires students for whom working in a cafe isn't a profession but just a side hassle. Also, their appearance wasn't nice. By saying that I mean their clothes didn't look neat and tidy, and their hair was uncombed and loose. To sum up, Red Door Provisions is just another overrated cafe that might make an impression of a cute and cozy place with delicious drinks and pastries at first but it turns out to be even worse than mediocre. I gave it a few chances to improve my impression of it but I'll not come back there anymore, and I recommend others to avoid it as well.

I had to wait for cars to pass to get out of my car. There is just not much room on this street. The cafe is cute, I got a latte and some treats. The Whoppie pie cookie was so good as was my coffee. They said that when the weather is better there is seating outside. There was not seating inside. They did have some savories as well, which I would love to go back and try.

The primary coffee accompaniment are pastries but there is a yummy breakfast sandwich and other such items there too, if you can rip your eyes away from the goodies to look! It's charming. With the pandemic they have improved their outside, so several great spots to perch and eat and talk. There can be a bit of a lineup so consider trying to find their quieter times if they work for you. Right by the Rideau River so very accessible for bikes and people out for walks.

You walk in and are greeted by lovely employees and the baked good staring back at you. They made their own "Twix" bars... I mean, seriously! You have to come and eat their treats! They also make amazing challah avocado toast. But be prepared, this is a BIG piece of CHALLAH! But paired with basil and lemon it was just perfect for our brunch morning. Service is great, and parking is a challenge sometimes, but be patient. It's super clean, super open floor plan, and is just LOVELY all around. The coffee is always good. And I would come here all the time if I lived just a bit closer.

It's a family run business and everyone is always super nice! Every time we go - not even an exaggeration- they always serve guests with the brightest smile. They're so thoughtful and caring and really make you want to come here just for the interactions. Also, can I just say- for some reason, it's always so hard to find GOOD quality black coffee that's not sour and that the portions are fair for its price. LUNA HANDS DOWN has one of the best coffees in Ottawa and the portion size is 10/10. There's also lots of seating with a comfortable sitting environment and it's not too loud even during rush hours during lunch time. They have patios opened during summer, very cozy!

I tried to order a hot chocolate but they didn't have the syrup, so I didn't end up getting anything. Still seems like a nice little café for a quick stop, especially if you're waiting nearby.

I was so excited when I heard that there was a place in my area that had K-dogs (Korean Corn Dogs)…read more Unfortunately, my experience was less than stellar. The wait was over 30 minutes for a K-dog and 20 minutes into the wait they told us they ran out of hotdogs so we had to get an all cheese corn dog or veggie corn dog. Ugh! So the place is ultra hipster, lol. It has an industrial vibe to it. Prices are on the high side. It was $11.99 for a K-dog. My husband also got a Decaf Americano ($3.50). So we ordered a Half n Half "The Works" K-dog, which is a half mozzarella cheese, half hotdog corn dog topped with Okonomi sauce, Kewpie mayo and bonito flakes. I asked them to go light on the Kewpie and they obliged. Service was friendly. Our visit was during the Covid-19 Pandemic and the staff were regularly disinfecting high traffic areas like the door handles, which I appreciated. They also limit the number of people inside, so since our order was to go, they asked us to wait outside, and they would bring the order out. Fine by us. It was technically Spring, but still chilly out. They brought out my husband's Decaf Americano quickly, which he appreciated as it kept him warm. He offered me some, but he drinks his coffee black (which for inscrutable reasons I find an attractive quality in a man, but it's not how I like my own coffee, lol). However, we waited 20 minutes before the staff member who took our order came out and advised us that they ran out of hotdogs and we could either have all cheese or half cheese and half veggie dog. We opted for all cheese. It took another 10 minutes for us to get our food. The cheese was very plentiful and had extraordinary pull, lol, but it was almost too much cheese (can't believe I'm actually typing those words in that order, haha). I would have definitely enjoyed it more if it was a half hotdog and half cheese corn dog. The toppings were good. The Okonomi sauce was slightly sweet and the Kewpie mayo was creamy and I loved the marine taste of the bonito flakes. Those who dislike fish might want to stay away though. The bonito flakes had a definite fish smell and taste to them. The breading was crispy and I'm glad I got to try the K-dog, but I personally found it overpriced for what it was. The inside is cool looking and it would actually be a great place for a date once this Pandemic is over. Note, the address is on Parkdale but the physical location is at the corner of Spencer and Hamilton. We had a hard time finding it until my husband spotted the sign with an arrow pointing towards the cafe as we crossed Parkdale and Spencer for the second time looking for it. Street parking only.

The outside does not justify the inner interior of this cafe. There is so many different corners to choose from, if only dine- in is allowed. With the closure during COVID, only takeout is allowed for now. But I did just walk around while my coffee is being prepared and pastries packed. There are several corners from a fireplace, to the communal table, along with the library of books corner and window with good lighting and surrounded by plant that one can choose if they had the luxury of dining in. Coffee- I ordered Americano and Flat White (used Oat milk) and found the coffee was about weak. Pastries - They were both amazingly delicious. The Chocolate pastry and a sour cherry yoghurt pastry caught my eye and those were both good choices. There were also good food and pastries offering. This is definitely a cafe that is be back if I am in Ottawa again.
