Fortunately, I was gifted a "Bag O'Snaps" from my sister-in-law, which is a bag of their ginger snaps. Let me tell you, these cookies were crunchy, and really did "snap" when I bit into them. They had a very potent ginger flavour, and were absolutely delicious! They are the best gingersnap cookies I've ever had! Now the sad thing is, I learned that in November 2022 there was a fire that destroyed the bakery. So they are temporarily closed, but they hope to rebuild the bakery and reopen at a later date. I wish them all the best, and when they reopen, I will make the trek to Manotick to pick up another Bag O'Snaps and likely other goodies.

We got 5 items and overall they were very good. Mom said they tasted like regular desserts and she couldn't tell they were gluten-free. I agree. We are not gluten-free, we just love desserts so wanted to check out this new bakery ;) We got a lemon square ($4.50), a Nanaimo Bar ($4.50), carrot cake slice ($6), a blueberry scone ($4) and a slice of maple cheesecake ($5.99). Everything was moist and rich. Nothing was dry nor crumbly. The blueberry scone was my favourite. It was chock-full of big plump blueberries. They have a good variety of baked goods, both sweet and savoury. In the grocery store section they have gluten-free snacks such as crackers and also different gluten-free flours and mixes. Staff were friendly. Lots of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.

TLDR: cute little bakery that sells gluten-free keto items. Delicious, but pricey and the items…read moretaste very keto-y, haha (you know what I mean, that dense almond flour/coconut flour taste). Keyto My Heart Bakery apparently opened up in the summer of 2023, but I only discovered it in December of 2023 when I was scrolling through UberEats looking for deals, lol. Keyto My Heart Bakery is a gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, keto bakery. I do not follow a keto diet. I am an equal opportunity eater, lol. I buy items at gluten-free bakeries even though I also eat gluten. I eat at vegan restaurants, even though I also eat meat. I value choices above all things. I shop at these specialty stores to help increase demand, which in turn I hope to increase supply, which means more options for everyone. I wanted to try a variety of items, so I got the following: salted caramel square ($6), blueberry muffin ($4), raspberry brownie ($6), red velvet cream cheese brownie ($7) and a spinach pie ($4). The spinach pie was shaped like a Fatayer/Lebanese spinach pie, but it was tiny, much smaller than your typical Fatayer. But it was filling since the pastry was dense. There was plenty of spinach inside. It was good, but I prefer the more doughy and fluffy Fatayers. I would definitely recommend it as a good option if you are craving a spinach pie and eating keto, but for me, I'd rather have the regular version, lol. The red velvet cream cheese brownie though, is another story! This was delicious. Keto or not, this item holds its own. The texture is lovely and it's so tasty. Whether you are on a keto diet or not, I would recommend it. This was by far the best item in my haul. The blueberry muffin was tasty too. It was moist and had a strong blueberry flavour. I enjoyed it, but it was tiny. Again, not being restricted to a keto diet, I would rather eat a regular blueberry muffin. The raspberry brownie was also good, albeit a bit on the dry side. Same goes for the salted caramel square, but since this was more shortbread-like, I'm a bit more forgiving of the dryness. Service was lovely and very welcoming. The inside of the cafe is pretty. It's takeaway only though. There is no place to eat in. The bakery is in a converted old house. I know keto is trendy now, so if you're looking for keto baked goods, Keyto My Heart Bakery is a great option. If you're just looking to try a new bakery, Keyto My Heart is worth checking out. Just keep in mind that prices might be a bit higher than comparable regular bakeries since they use almond flour and coconut flour which is pricier than wheat flour. And the taste will be denser too. I definitely recommend the red velvet cream cheese brownie!! Street parking only.

I occasionally search Google Maps for new businesses in and around Ottawa, and Modern General Food…read moreGroup came up when I searched for "bakeries in Kanata." My parents and I were going to Kanata and I wanted to make the most of the trip by scoping out a new place. Modern General Food Group, in addition to being a mouthful and IMO an unusual name for a bakery, is very unassuming. It's in a strip mall next to a Circle K and unless one is specifically looking for it, one would likely drive right by it and not even realize its existence. The space is cute and looks a bit like a general store inside. They sell miscellaneous shelf stable food items, in addition to baked goods. I popped in with my mom, while my dad waited in the car. We got a croissant ($4), cinnamon swirl ($4), butter tart (don't remember the exact price, was between $3 and $4) and a lemon square (was a bit over $4). The total after taxes was $17.05. The lemon square had a nice tart flavour. The cinnamon swirl was fluffy and more cake than bun/roll. I'd say closer to a coffee cake. The butter tart was tasty. The shape is not the conventional butter tart shape, it doesn't have crust on the top, which I actually prefer because I don't like too much crust, lol. I didn't have any of the croissant. Service was friendly. Everything was placed in a box and then sealed with a sticker. I saw signage indicating they hold cooking classes there. They are also going to be installing a fridge to sell refrigerated foods/drinks. There's free parking in the strip mall.

My favourite breakfast/coffee cafe and bakery in the bank street area. This local cash and debit…read moreonly spot is run by the nicest Cantonese/Vietnamese couple, who make the freshest food to order. I've tried their breakfast wraps, banh mi, and BLT sandwiches so far, and they are better than anything in the area because of the homemade sandwich bread. Perfectly toasty, and the hot items in the sandwich are fried to order. They are a tad slow with making the food, but to be expected. They are also the cheapest in the area, with a sandwich running about $4.75 before tax and tips. Their hot foods, such as the pho, sausage rolls, spring rolls, and meat pies are all worth trying hot! The veggie and meat steam bun is good too, and their iced Vietnamese coffee as well. They have stir fries for under $10 as well, really looking forward to trying those.

The Golden Baguette is a cute little independently owned bakery. They have a variety of products…read moreranging from sweets, like cookies, donuts, pies, and chocolate croissants, to savoury items like sausage rolls, and meat pies. They also have sandwiches and Asian stir-fried dishes. They have coffee and other drinks as well. Oh and of course they sell breads and baguettes. Many of their items have a "homemade" aesthetic to them, and I don't mean that in a pejorative way at all. I actually find it endearing and I like it. I like aesthetic imperfection, it feels more genuine and real ;) My husband and I picked up a bunch of items to share, and I also grabbed a couple of items for my parents. We got an order of the "Beef Bulgogi with rice vermicelli" ($9.75), a vegetarian spring roll ($1.67), a sausage roll ($3.09), and a chili meat pie ($3.09). For my parents we picked up a Beef Bulgogi fried bun ($3.90) and a red bean pastry ($2.86). We ate our goodies in the car, a favourite activity of mine since I was a child, but only recently made popular by the Covid-19 Pandemic. The "Beef Bulgogi with rice vermicelli" was more like stir-fried beef on vermicelli. It didn't have the flavour nor the texture of Korean Beef Bulgogi. The dish was more like the traditional Vietnamese dish of rice vermicelli, with shredded lettuce, cucumbers and carrots. Instead of grilled meats, it was a saucy beef stir-fry. It was tasty and I enjoyed it, it just wasn't Beef Bulgogi, lol. The vegetarian spring roll was hot and crispy, but a bit oily. I tasted a lot of starch in it, from some sort of root vegetable (?) perhaps taro, or potatoes (?) It was my least favourite of the items we tried. The chili meat pie was a nice handheld pie. The pastry was good and held together nicely, wasn't too crumbly. The filling was ground meat with a slightly spicy kick to it. I actually did not have any of the sausage roll as my husband devoured it all, lol, (actually I told him he could have it all because I'm generally not a fan of hotdogs or sausages). He enjoyed it. It's not the puff pastry sausage rolls, but rather a brioche like bun with a sausage in it. Service was courteous and efficient. I'm looking forward to returning to try some of their other things, like their other stir-fried dishes. They also have banh mi! Street parking only, which is free on weekends (although the bakery is closed on Sundays).
