A cozy little cafe!…read more I really like the causal vibes of this place, it's really great for a lazy weekend brunch. The menu is simple and short but still has basically all the popular brunch items. I got the breakfast sandwich in both the croissant and bagel. Overall very enjoyable! The croissant was very good and buttery but it was kind of messy to eat. I would probably stick with the bagel next time! For drinks I tried one of the staff recommendations and a drip coffee. I'm not a coffee connoisseur but I thought the Lilly was very good, sweet but not too heavy or sugary, but it was a little bit expensive for the price as the cup was fairly small. Price was okay overall factoring in the sandwich as well. Overall, I really enjoyed my breakfast here and would love to come back next time I'm in town!

I recommend anyone looks for a nice Indian meal to do the same. I was greeted by the chef. He explained the menu to me. I have to be careful with some foods because of allergies. They were happy to help and I had a great meal. The place is clean. It's smaller and personal. Small details like candles to go under the food to keep it warm we're put into place. I did not feel rushed, and the food came out in decent time as well. I had the lamb Roganjosh and some curried vegetables with some papadum. The lamb was tender and not stringy. The veggies were cooked nice and spice levels were appropriate. I had a tea and a pistachio Kulfi as well. Friendly, friendly, friendly and knowledgeable about food. Five stars for service, and quality of food. All that and they were able to do gluten free for me as well.

Service is pleasant enough, but seems to almost always be someone different. Maybe that's a sign of the times, though? An easy walk from work, this site is in an ongoing Cindy zone right now. You have to have eyes in back of your head!! That's not their fault, though.

What a cute little cafe that I never knew existed! It's in an industrial part of Orleans…read more Apparently it opened in October 2021. It was hopping at lunchtime! Full of people! They serve coffee, tea, sandwiches, salads, pastries and squares. They share their space with The Niche Ottawa Gallery which showcases art from Ottawan artists. The cafe is eclectic and has a cozy community feel to it. I like it. I got 2 sandwiches there. Their sandwiches are actually from Lunchbox (which has a location close by in Orleans and a newly opened one in Hintonburg). I got a BLT and a Chickpea Salad sandwich. Both were very good. I had a bite of each. My dad loved the Chickpea Salad sandwich. He said it was interesting and different from other sandwiches that he's had. It was chickpeas mixed with corn in a mayo sauce with a hint of curry. It had some greens and fresh herbs in it too. The BLT had the usual bacon, lettuce and tomato, but also a special sauce in it, that made it unique. My mom liked the BLT sandwich. What a great discovery! It's off the beaten path, but definitely worth the detour :) Lots of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.

This is such a cozy and adorable place. As it's just around walking distance to the hotel I stayed,…read moreit was a nice walk to this cafe. 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.

This Dao Cafe is co-located with a Tealive. However, they also sell their own drinks (mostly coffee…read moreand tea beverages like lattes and cappuccinos). They sell lots of fancy pastries, with the prices to match, lol. I've tried the Lychee Rose cake $11.50. It was served in a round container the size of a small drinking glass. The lychee and Rose flavours were pronounced, but the rose dominated and I would have preferred the reverse. The top had a light sprinkling of tiny real rose petal pieces. The cake was sponge cake and was soft and moist. The cream was airy and fluffy. It was tasty, but a bit pricey for the portion size. I've also tried their Korean macarons ($3.90 each). Korean macarons are like French macarons except there's a lot of filling and it's a thick buttery cream. I'm not a fan of the filling. It's too rich for me. However, if you like these types of macarons these are well made. My overall assessment is that the desserts look pretty, the taste is good, but you're paying more for the aesthetics. Service is courteous and efficient. The cafe is also really pretty inside. Very Instagramble ;) It's in a plaza, so lots of free parking. (25)

I love the first Dao location that opened in Ottawa…read more Maybe I expected too much for this location which is a a 3*, A-OK, in my books. We went on a Saturday around 5p. The seating and tables weren't being attended to, so there were crumbs at and on every available seating/table combo. The garbage in the seating area was overflowing. Customer service at the cash was cheerful and reasonably efficient. The barrista failed us, as, with only our order, it took a while to receive it. My flat white, which should be smooth with a slightly sweet finish was bitter and acidic. Sigh. Lots of people seemed to be enjoying themselves. The pastries are as stunning and tasty as at the other location. This location is also quite beautiful with an airy feel. Nice space for a chat. The seating along the window is likely best suited to singles, or under thirty crowd, as, to have a conversation, you either have to put a leg up on the bench or crane your torso and neck. I found it a bit uncomfortable. And since that was just about the only seating left...I'm wondering if others may have had similar experiences. This location is much closer to home for us... maybe I'll keep my Doa fix for when I'm in the west end of the city.
