They also carry provisions so you can take home some exotic goodies for later. They also have some alcoholic beverages that are local (cider!). I had coffee and pastries both times I visited and they were amazing each time. I loved sitting on their front patio but the back patio also looks lovely. I will be back. 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.

This is my family's go-to brunch spot and we cannot recommend this place enough. Everything from…read moretheir AMAZING service to the quality of their food and coffees are perfect. 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've had a few different items here. Their Cuban Sandwich is huge and filled with lots of roasted pork, Swiss cheese, ham and pickles. The pork was a bit on the fatty side and I did not like the excessive amount of butter in the sandwich. Other than these 2 issues, it was a good sandwich. Their muffins are good, although a bit dense. The apple muffin could have used more apples though, lol. Their steel-cut oats with berries is tasty and I have no idea why it never tastes the same when I make it at home, haha. Staff are courteous and efficient. Metered street parking or paid parkade parking only. (17)

I love the decor and seating space at this Morning Owl location. Perfect for studying since it is well lit, lots of plugs everywhere, and of course the smell of coffee! They bake their pastries at this location so there are always fresh baked goods available. They also serve delicious sandwiches (bread is from Art Is In) and I always grab one before I go to class. I highly recommend the muffins - very filling and great flavour combinations. They have milk-alternatives (soy and almond).

Normally I don't indulge in "candy" coffees... when I do, it's always too sticky sweet. I mentioned this to the barista and they made me a just-right-not-too-sweet white mocha.

The dishes were vibrant in colour and look very appetizing. The chef brunch protein for the benedict was jalapeno pork sausage and it definitely had a nice kick to it. The eggs were soft poached, both the English muffin and the homefries helped soak up the gooey goodness! The fried chicken dish was a bit disappointing in 2 ways. 1) It was corn season and they still decide to use relatively flavourless frozen corn kernals. I would suggest using fresh ingredients when it is in season. 2) For the price, I was expecting 2 pieces of fried chicken, instead it was a single piece of medium size chicken breast attached to a drumette. To give them credit, the breast wasn't dry and the root beer maple syrup went very well with the homefries. The latte was alright it did have a slightly bitter aftertaste though.
