They have EVERYTHING. This place was honestly dangerous for me because i love me some baked goods…read more I'm a sucker for bread and desserts and theirs is AMAZING. Me and my good friend ordered an assortment of stuff and all of it came out so delicious. The service and fast and the people are kind. Come here if you have a baked good addiction like me, you won't regret it!

This place has a huge following. Maybe I have always just gotten the wrong items at the wrong times…read morebecause I am not as enamoured of this place as the vast majority of people seem to be. My first visit was many moons ago, when French macarons were just becoming popular in North America. I had had macarons for the first time at a bakery in Toronto called Nadege and I will forever compare all macarons to the ones I had there, lol. At the time, I did not know of any place in Ottawa that sold them, then some time later, I had heard that The French Baker had them, so I was so excited to try them. I was so disappointed though. They were hard and tasted stale to me. That put me off trying anything else there for years. However, I believe in second chances and even third chances. Unfortunately, I can't say that any of the subsequent items I've had there blew me away. Their cupcakes are tiny and drier than I like. Their palmiers are rich and buttery though, but also tiny, lol. Good for portion control, I suppose ;) People love this place, so maybe you will too. As for me, I would eat it if someone bought me some food from this bakery, but it's unlikely I would return and buy something for myself there. It's in the Byward Market, so like most places there, street parking only.

The Short Version: Bubble tea shop in a converted old house…read more My drink was good, but the flavours could have been stronger and they could have been more generous with the toppings. The Long Version: Yeazecha opened in Fall of 2025 in the space that was Tru Tea. I was sad to see Tru Tea close, but it's consolation that another bubble tea shop opened in its place. I had been meaning to check it out and finally did when I was poking around on UberEats looking for deals and saw they had a BOGO (buy one get one free) offer. It was $8.25 for a medium Peachy Oolong Milk Tea. The price in-store is $5.99 each, so even with the UberEats markup it was still a good deal. I ordered no sugar and less ice and I paid an extra $1.15 per tea to add brown sugar tapioca pearls (it's only $1 for this topping in-store). So through UberEats I got 2 drinks for $10.55 plus tax, whereas in store it would have been $13.98 plus tax. I got it for pickup and the app said it would be ready in 16 minutes. When I arrived in 20 minutes it was packed up and ready for me. Staff were pleasant and handed me my order. The space inside has not changed much since it was Tru Tea. There's a limited amount of seating indoors and it's all bar seating facing a wall. They have outdoor patio seating which is quite nice, but Canadian weather does not permit it's use year-round, lol. The drink itself was good. I like that the milk teas are made of fresh milk and not dubious non-dairy powder, lol. The tea flavour was moderate and the peach flavour was subtle. I love potent flavours so I felt there could have been improvement in this area. The brown sugar tapioca pearls were chewy but could have been a bit softer and springier. And they could have been a bit more generous with the toppings. I ran out of toppings pretty quickly and was just drinking milk tea partway through. No sugar was truly no added sugar, which I liked because the sugar from the toppings added plenty sweetness for my tastes. And the drink was adequately cold for me even with less ice. I would order the same modifications in the future. They were still relatively new at the time of my visit and to my knowledge they are a small independent businesses with just this one location, so I'm rounding up in good faith. Had the peach and tea flavour been stronger and the tapioca more plentiful this would have been a solid 4 stars maybe even 4.50 stars, but as is it is closer to a 3.25-3.50 stars in my opinion. Hoping to return to try their other drinks after they've been in business a bit longer. Street parking only. Review #223 (2025)

Petites Gamines is a really cute bakery on popular Laval St in Gatineau. My husband and I walked…read morethere (from Westboro) as part of our "Adventures in Gatineau" (lol, we rarely venture into Gatineau even though we live right across the bridge in Ottawa, so it's a joke between us that it's an adventure when we go to Gatineau). Anyway, we got a couple of baked goods and overall they were very good. We got an Oreo Brownie ($3.95) and a small Churros donut ($2.95). The brownie was really dense and rich and very chocolatey. It was a bit dry for my tastes, but still enjoyable and it had a potent chocolate flavour. I love strong flavours, so I was a fan. The Churros donut was tiny, but tasty. It had a dollop of dulce de leche in the hole and the texture was cronut-like. It was just really small, and y'all know I'm all about the size, haha. Service was friendly and welcoming. I had a nice chat with the staff member and she told me the owner of the bakery will be opening a Mexican restaurant down the street called Rosalita's. It's scheduled to open summer of 2023. I'll be keeping my eye out for it ;) She also told me all baked goods are made in house. They also sell coffee and teas and Tuesdays through Thursdays they also sell burritos. They have seating inside and a few tables and chairs outside out front as well. Super cute place! I did see any parking lot, so I assume street parking only.

Service was not strong. I tried using my French (I have not lived here long, but totally learning),…read moreand I feel that it was not well received. But the delights in this place were amazing. I think we ate most of the delicacies before taking photos, but I will have to check. We enjoyed donuts that were amazing and some other sweets. This was a cute shop, loved all the things to look at while we were there. It's small, but it's a cute bakery just as other reviewers have said. Take a look, it's worth the visit!

The Short Version: Spacious and pretty cafe/bakery with…read moretasty mochi donuts. They also sell Vietnamese egg coffee (which is hard to find in Ottawa). The Long Version: Casa Bonita is where TP Tea and Mochi Bakehouse used to be. The interior looks the same. They still sell bubble tea and mochi donuts, but they also sell other fun drinks like dragon fruit latte, butterfly pea flower latte and ube matcha latte. Oh and Vietnamese egg coffee (which I still have never had). They also sell croffles, banh mi and panini. I've tried several items at Casa Bonita and they were all great. Their mochi donuts are excellent. They have a slightly chewier texture than regular donuts, which I like. Their strawberry cream cheese danish is also good. Lots of filling. The cream cheese is smooth and creamy. Their plain croissant was okay, but I preferred their less boring options. Lol. Their mochi donuts are $4.99. Pastries are around $5, cake slices are around $9 and croffles range from $10-$12. Service is very friendly and welcoming. The space is large with lots of seating. A great place to hang out with friends. Maybe one of these days I will finally try some Vietnamese egg coffee and I feel I might as well keep up with the theme and pair it with a banh mi, right? Lol. The cafe/bakery is located in a sizable strip mall. Free parking in the strip mall parking lot. Review #56 (2026)

TLDR: Pretty french bakery inside the Canevas Shopping Centre. The Danish I got was flakey and…read moredelicious. Charlotte Macarons is a French bakery in the open atrium of the Canevas Shopping Centre. As of June 2024, the mall was undergoing renovations, so it was not that aesthetically pleasing, but the atrium where the bakery is and another cafe/bistro is (sorry, I forgot the name of the other place) was very lovely. I got my pastry to-go though. I got the Danish that was filled with cream and topped with raspberry puree. It was $5.25. It was on the small side, but very tasty. The pastry was flakey, the cream was good and the tartness of the raspberry puree went well with the sweetness of the cream. I enjoyed the pastry. Staff were courteous. They had lots of pastries and cakes, and of course macarons, their namesake. I'll need to return to try some of those. Free parking available in the mall parking lot. (111)
