On a recent visit to Ottawa, on the recommendation of the concierge at my downtown hotel, I walked more than a mile more than once to enjoy the world class coffee experience at Little Victories! I'm a coffee geek and this place did not disappoint! Not only was service and beverage quality great, but last time I was there, my barista shared the narrowest of details in the crafting of my pour-over! On my return, I've enjoyed the perfectly roasted beans I purchased there and done a respectable job of making an above average pour over in my home! Little Victories will always be at the top of my list when in Ottawa! read more

Extremely cute coffee shop with lots of seating inside and outside. It's across from the Canadian war memorial. The Aussie latte is the best. It is a latte with a little sprinkle of coco powder. I suggest asking for extra hot if you want it warm. Albeit, they still won't make it extra hot read more

A perfectly nice little spot to breeze into for a quick cup of coffee. My flat white was as pretty as it was tasty! The view of Parliament through the arched windows invites lingering & watching as Ottawa wakes up. My qualms were the fault of my own imagination - I pictured myself connected to the WiFi and camping out for hours, only to be told they don't have a network. While understand why some establishments opt against offering free WiFi, it feels like a miss to me. So, is Little Victories a good spot to get work done? No. But I can absolutely picture it being just the spot for a chatty catch up over an espresso with a friend (or a good book!) read more

This coffee shop is big, brightly lit, and was pretty busy when I visited. Almost all of the indoor and outdoor seating was filled, and there was a long line to order. It was pretty crowded and it was unclear where the line started and ended, and who was just waiting for their drinks. I eventually ordered the aussie cap, and my drink came out after a short wait. The aussie cap is a regular cappuccino with a dusting of chocolate on top. This was one of the better coffees from my visit to Ottawa. read more

Goodness gracious! I'm glad cafés like this have made their way into Ottawa more often. What a gem! On a recent trip back to my university town, my friends and I spent three separate mornings here. It's unusual for us to stick to one café so consistently, but it was mandatory here since Ottawa is not full of many local places. Starbucks and Tim Hortons dominate the scene still, so we based ourselves at Little Vic. Each time, the lines to order were not terrible for wait times. The team is attentive and knowledgeable and will recommend different items based on tastes. It appears that many of them are Australian, and their Australian cortado was a hit for my friends and I. We did not order any pastries since, most of the time, we were just popping in while walking by in the morning. The seating areas are abundant, and the lighting is perfect for any event here. I would love to return and read a whole book here, hold hands on a date, or just sit in awe of the exposed historic architecture. Great work! read more

We stopped by this cafe for coffee, tea and desserts and had a really pleasant experience. THE DRINKS The Coffee: - My fiancé said the coffee was really good and strong. He enjoys strong coffee and this location delivered. The Matcha Latte - The matcha latte was really good. They blended it with macadamia nut milk and it had the perfect balance of matcha with some sweetness. This was definitely a good pick me up. THE DESSERTS - This bakery had four desserts which were all gluten and dairy free. We purchased three of them and they were the best cookies I have ever had. Raspberry Jam Thumbprint Cookie - The Raspberry jam cookie had a delicious chia seed jam in the centre that wasn't too sweet. It had the right amount of sweetness to make this cookie scrumptious. It actually reminded me of a cookie my grandma used to make for us. It was so delicious. Banana Hazelnut Chocolate Breakfast Cookie - This cookie was my least favourite of the three. I found it a bit dry, with chocolate chunks throughout. I actually wish we ate this one first so we could savour the other two. Pistachio Almond Cookie - This was the best gluten and dairy free cookie I have ever had in Canada. It was the perfect balance of sweet and satisfying while providing a delicious pistachio almond flavour. I actually wanted to go back to bring some home to Toronto to put in the freezer. Would We Return? Absolutely! The cookies were better than all the gluten and dairy free cookies I have had in Toronto. read more

Nice coffee shop with nice natural lighting and good coffee. They even bring your coffee to your table unlike most coffee places. It would be a nice touch if they had a self serve water station though. read more

Little Victories Coffee Roasters - Flat White - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

The Elgin location is located in the core of Ottawa, across from Parliament Hill and very convenient if you want to take a break from walking around, or if you're in the area, and need a place to do some work, or meet with people. There's plenty of seating inside and outside, and the overall vibe is great, with an airy feel. It's a place I wouldn't mind spending hours at. The staff was friendly, and if you want to "dine in" they will bring you your order to your seat when it's ready. I'm not a coffee drinker, but one unique thing they offer at Little Victories are coffee tasting flights, which I think would be great for coffee fans. The flight allows you to taste three different beans prepared in three different ways. However, this place may be more known for their coffees than teas, because what's preventing me from giving this place 5 stars is the taste of their tea lattes. The latte art here is pretty nice, but the tea lattes didn't meet my expectations. I came here twice. The first time I got a mtacha latte, which was creamy but the matcha taste was very light. The drink tasted closer to frothed milk. The second time I tried a chai latte, and this time I found that spices used to make the latte was very overwhelming (this may be an Ottawa thing, because I noticed the same thing with the chai latte at another place) . read more

I came here 3 times on my recent visit to Ottawa. That says a lot about a place since I dislike repeating establishment son a trip as to give myself more options to try more things throughout. The service was so friendly! The barista helped me pick something to my liking each morning but I wanted to try a different drink each day. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the drinks. There was a great selection of pastries - noteworthy was a breakfast cookie, packed with dried fruits, nuts, and chia (i think). I never had an issue finding a table, and would be a great spot to work for a bit if needed. read more

Service was quick even with never-ending line. This place gets kind of busy esp on weekends. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Coffee was good, ask for milk options if your diet requires. Tried the orange cookie just for the sake of trying, not bad at all. Food pics shared. Friendly baristas. Can't recall if there's street parking but this is walking distance from the Parliament buildings. read more

Cute atmosphere. Service 3/5. No wifi. Cannot use cash. No accessible washroom for customers. They were out of croissants. Understandable for later in the day. Out of cream.... not so understandable. Had to use milk. No. No line up but the simple double espresso took some time. Coffee, bitter. Not my fave bean. I'd return to try something else but this business is all about location, location, location. Right at Elgin/Sparks. read more

Best coffee, made by the best people, in beautiful locations. One of the best things about Ottawa.

Honestly, this place checks all the boxes. Great coffee, delicious pastries, friendly service, and indoor/outside seating - steps away from the Parliament Hill. What not to like? read more

What a gorgeous, calm spot in downtown Ottawa for amazing coffee. Get a millionaire tahini bar if they're still serving them for a rich treat. Can get busy in the morning with people stopping on their way into work, or seeing the sites on a weekend morning. There's a tasting bar for 2 for real connoisseurs too. read more

Absolutely wonderful service always. I love how consistent the quality is at Little Victories, and I especially love that they advertise (and make extremely well) some Aussie espresso drinks that you don't see many shops have on their menus -- my personal favourite is the Melbourne Magic. And all the locations are cute, but the one on Elgin is so spacious and has a nice vibe indoors and outdoors. read more

Very popular coffee spot in Ottawa featuring carefully constructed coffee beverages. Beautiful store front - recently renovated. Espresso, filter, and single origin pour overs. Variety of seasonal options. Limited food - mostly small baked goods (cookies & squares). Staff is friendly and helpful when selecting a specific coffee option. They explain the process and what might be interesting for you. Interesting point for me on the menu: the Flight. Approx $10 gets you three different types of coffee to try. Enjoy! read more

The location is great and the atmosphere is great but it stops there. I came in for coffee and had to replace my americano for a regular coffee, but tasted like dog water. Gross and I won't be back! read more

Great little coffee shop with very friendly service. Quality of coffee is better than many shops in the city.

Love the coffee and ambiance here. I wanted a quiet place to read but ended up people watching instead because it was loud. It's very busy in the mornings. They have a small selection of pastries and they have good coffee! They don't have wifi which is a bummer. read more
