We stopped by for brunch. We didn't have to wait for a table but they most of the tables were full, and they constantly had people coming in just to buy bread and pastries to go! I can definitely see why this place is so popular. They offer 90 minutes of free parking, by scanning a QR code at the door and entering your plate number. I was originally a little worried at that wouldn't be enough time but it definitely was. When I got in, the bread and pastries counter immediately caught our eye, so we had to try them. We ended up getting two pastries and lucked out with a BOGO deal. I am not sure if that is an every Sunday thing or if we just happened to be there at the right time. The pastries were really enjoyable, and the chocolate almond croissant was my favourite. It was super flaky, buttery, and sweet. One thing to note, I didn't see any prices listed for the pastries at the counter nor on the slip to order from the table. They turned out to be more expensive than I thought. Also to note from the receipt, it mentions $8.75 for the o-towner (thur-sun) so I'm not sure if pricing is different depending on the day of the week. After seeing so many people ordering the pizza, we decided to get one too. It is not a traditional pizza. It is more like toppings layered over bread, and I honestly loved that about it. The hot honey with the bacon was so good. The sweet and savory combination really worked. I also tried some of the fries with their house ketchup. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the ketchup had such a unique flavor. That is definitely something I would order myself next time. Before leaving, I grabbed a loaf of their seeded bread since they were running a BOGO 50 percent off deal. The loaf was hefty and much denser than typical grocery store sliced bread. We got the buttermilk multiseed. The seeds added great texture and flavour. It is a little expensive at about $9.25 per loaf, but the quality shows. I would say it's a little pricey overall, especially considering the casual vibe of the place, but if you're able to get some of the deals like we did, it's not too bad. I would definitely like to come back to try some of their other menu items!

Best CLAM CHOWDER ever! Very flavourful and so hot. Service was nice and fast, you come to the cashier order what you like and they will give you a table. The thai chicken sandwich was very juicy and huge portion as well! Great to share between two peers. They sell their home made bread for quite cheap. They have a cafe station at the front on the go! The cafe has a rustic warehouse look and very spacious ceilings and seatings. Highly recommend coming here!

October 19/2014: Breakfast with my Al. Not sure what the hype is all about with this place. The food was only mediocre in my opinion. I had the Breakfast Sandwich. It was SO ordinary! Two eggs, bacon, cheese. Just blah ($17.00). It came with a house made ketchup that was more curry based than anything. It did come with a coffee which was good. I also had a garlic/herb scone, it was good but again not spectacular. The service was good but kinda slow. Very loud as it's causal self-serve seating. Here's the kicker...if you want jam for your toast...it's $1.50 EXTRA! This is over not a do over in my opinion.

Egg Benedict
Emilie D.

My first time here. Walked in sunday morning the place was full. You can scan a code for 90min free parking. Just bring your plate number. You need to scan a QR code and enter information. We gave our name to the hostess. About a 30 minutes wait, there was two couples and a family before us. On sunday only the breakfast and not sandwich menu is available. I always get the the same thing for breakfast eggs and becon. The candied becon was amazing, the beans... really not for me not sweet or salty. Lacking flavour. My boyfriend received is plate cold. They might had forgot to put under the light or It was ready before mine. I got a side of mayo (extra) was a little over $55 for both plates, mayo and tips. You pay before you sit down you give your number of table. They have a great selection of to go meal that look amazing. I also saw they had a maple vanilla latte that I wanted to try. But didn't want to have coffee past twelve. Next time it is. Overall happy with my experience.

Strawberry Raspberry O-Towner

A must visit when in Ottawa! From my fall trip to Ottawa/Gatineau back in October, it was a coincidence that this spot was right in the neighborhood of where my friend was staying at! I am glad I made the pit stop for this bakery as I wish I had visited back in my university days at Carleton U! Known for their pastries and brunch menu, Art-Is-In Bakery always focuses on quality and rustic charm in all their menu items from their croissants to Eggs Benedict! I can't wait to go back again!

We come to Ottawa about once a year and never knew this place existed until it was featured on the Food Network. Expectations were high and Art Is In delivered! We dined in on Saturday morning and although the place was busy, there was lots of place to sit since the outdoor terrace can accomodate a lot people. All menu options were online so we already knew what we wanted - we tried the "fatty spuddy" breakfast sandwich which has an egg, bacon, a giant hasbrown patty in an english muffin served with house ketchup and hollandaise sauce. My partner got the eggs bene and avocado plate. The portions are generous and filling, I did not expect my sandwich to be this giant. We also got to try their famous O towner pastries which are a cross between a donut and a croissant, filled with pastry cream, a giant mushy chocolate cookie and a raspberry bar. Everything we tried was delicious and unique. I love that everything is truly made from scratch, the ketchup and even the bacon are prepared in house - it doesn't get any better. A must visit if you love pastries, breads and want a satisfying, high quality breakfast. I know they also make pizzas for lunch and those looked equally amazing. I would definitely come back.

Vanilla berry custard & Coffee chocolate O-towner
Jasmine L.

The O-towners here...they were heavenly, an indulgence, a tower of croissanty airy crunchy sugary texture! And the filling! It was perfect with the amount and sweetness so it's not overbearing on the pastry itself! We went first thing in the morning (bc they sell out quick!) and snagged 2 O-towners. One with a Coffee chocolate pudding filling & the other had a Vanilla berry custard. Both were 5/5 amazing! I loved that the berry one had real smashed berries mixed into the custard. We also had a sticky bun which was good, but not mind blowing.

lost in Wakefield pizza
Rohan S.

I had a pizza so good that I'm genuinely mad now because I know no other pizza will be as good. lost in Wakefield had caramelized onions, mushrooms, basil, pork-fennel sausage. there wasn't that much sausage but I'm not even upset about it because the pizza was so good. only 4 stars because I didn't know a small pizza could cost this much ($29) ordered for take out so no comments on service or ambiance

Derek L.

Still a great spot to pickup bread and lunch. They have a lot of seats inside for indoor dining, but gets very busy during the lunch hours. Pizza is amazing and surprisingly big. Burger is juicy, beefy and also very good. They do need to add pizza to their online ordering... Because it does take a bit to order in person and wait for the pizza to come out.

I came up to Ottawa from Rochester, NY with some friends and of all of our meals, breakfast-dinner, this was our favorite. I never heard of Art is in Bakery, but I read that I could not get breakfast in Ottawa without coming here. My friends and I arrived about 5 mins after opening and the line was already out the door. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant and the hazelnut O-towner doughnut. The breakfast sandwich was divine! The croissant was light and buttery and the bacon was sweet, salty, and crispy. I did not expect to be so blown away by the O-towner doughnut. It was light and airy and the filling was perfect. It had just the right level of sweetness without overpowering the doughnut. We initially sat outside because it was beautiful out, but we were constantly being swarmed by bees, so we ended up sitting inside. Despite that, the bakery looked lovely inside. It was really artsy with a lot of nice work on the walls. Overall, Art is in Bakery is a wonderful establishment with lovely workers and my friends and I continue to talk about how we would take a day trip to Ottawa anytime to enjoy this place again!

You cannot brunch in Ottawa without coming here. It is not easy to get to without a car, but well loved by locals with extensive seating available indoors and picnic bench style outdoors. The menu is very extensive and at times overwhelming with burgers, brunch items, burgers, and exceptional pizza. They even have unique items like Croque Monsieur for the prententious friend that wants to be fancy when you are eating a brunch burger. The burgers are HUGE and you surprise yourself that you can hold it in your hands some days. There are many items for the friends with a low appetite or someone who is not hungry. They have a huge selection of freshly baked breads and the Cronut is to die for with seasonal flavors. All the items have generous portions. The only downside is the take home aisle that is really overpriced and a bit of a scam. They have jars for ready to make cookies, or unbaked cinnamon rolls, or pints of ice cream for the $15-$25 range which I find to be a bit uncomfortable pricing wise for items you then have to prepare yourself... If you stay away from the overpriced items, you are in for a one of a kind treat!

Came back for the pizza nights, which only happen on week nights and it was pretty smokey inside. It was busy but we got a table within 20 minutes or so. The pizza was good, but each pizza was like ~40 dollars. It was a fun night out with friends but probably not my go to place for pizza. If you're looking for a traditional pizza, this isn't it. But they do have some cool wacky pizzas like spaghetti and meatballs on pizza.

O-Towner Banana Chocolate
Genevieve G.

We cruised into this funky, industrial boulangerie for brunch on a rainy Thursday, café style and loved it! The space: outdoor terrace with picnic tables and plenty of indoor tables or bar seating. Place your order at the counter for quick delivery at your dedicated/numbered table. Bonus specialties: phenomenal breads, creative and tradition baked pastries. Home to the famous O-Towner croissant-doughnut stuffed with kiwi/lime or banana/chocolate custard. The food: As the plates were set, the lovely aeromatic scent of fresh herbs tickled my curiosity! Fresh dill, rosemary and parley were found tossed with the crispy golden fries served with the Big K burger-which tasted like an elevated version of a BMac! The eggs Benny with amazing, crispy smoked bacon, served with a potato cake and tomato chutney style ketchup was a fun mixture of dynamite flavors. The lovely, light roast from Wakefield, Quebec @bluebarn coffee is found at the self-serve bar. (As a coffee lover, this delicate brew makes the perfect second, third or fourth cup ) Absolutely worth trying!

Di Rienzo's is a small deli tucked away in Ottawa's little Italy neighborhood but trust me it's no secret. There's always a line of the well informed, salivating with a grin as they wait (not long mind you, they move fast). The smell here is your first clue that your in for somethings delicious, if you weren't hungry when you arrived you will be once the aroma hits your nostrils. They have a selection of Italian pre-packaged products and various snacks, as well as cold drinks to complete your meal. That said, this joint is all about the sandwiches. They'll make whatever combo of meats, cheese, and toppings you want but if your unsure just pick one of the options on the board. I almost always get the #14. It's all the delicious Italian meats you could want plus havarti, lettuce, and mayo (exchange the regular havarti for the herbed havarti if you'd like). The bread is amazing quality as well. You really can't go wrong here. They have some sandwiches in a case ready to go as well, such as the steak which I hear is amazing. The staff here couldn't be more friendly and accommodating which is no small feat for a place this busy. There are no tables so it's takeout only and It IS cash only however they have an ATM for the unprepared. Oh, lest I forget, this amazing and quality sandwich is less than 10 bucks! This spot is a real gem and if you find yourself nearby you absolutely have to try it out.

The Long Version: District Deli opened up around March 2025 in the space that was Bismallah Pies (was Charlie's Groceteria before that). My husband and I dropped by to pick up a sandwich to share. The sandwiches are all named after nearby streets, which really gives it that neighbourhood feel. All meat sandwiches are $13.99 and vegetarian sandwiches are $12.49. You can also build your own for $13.99 where you can choose 2 meats, one cheese, and whatever vegetables you like. We went with the build your own option. We got roast beef and prosciutto cotto, fresh mozzarella and lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, pickled eggplants, and roasted red peppers, with a bit of honey mustard. The sandwich was really good. The bread was fresh, as were the other ingredients. It was a bit pricey in my opinion, but this is in comparison to other similar sandwich shops with $8-10 sandwiches (like 50 Two Sandwiches or Shorty's Sandwiches), but they are in industrial parts of town, so I get it, rent in Hintonburg is higher.

I got mango and pistachio. I liked that they put the flavours side by side and not on top of each other. They also really filled up the cup so the portion size was excellent. The mango flavour was really potent, which I loved. The pistachio flavour was rich and nutty, which I also loved. They didn't have too many flavours, but a good mix of fruity and chocolate/caramel/etc. I would definitely get gelato here again. My husband got a soft serve ice cream dipped in S'mores. Omg! The S'mores dip was so good. It was chocolatey and had mini dehydrated marshmallows in it. My husband ordered a large ($5 taxes included), but I think they gave him a small because it looked small and they only charged him for a small ($4 taxes included). That's ok, we should be moderating our intake of sweets anyway, lol. The ice cream was rich and creamy. The dips are an extra $1, so you can get soft serve without dips too ($3 for a small and $4 for a large, inclusive of taxes). Service was friendly. We went during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Staff were wearing masks, physical distancing rules were in place, and there was hand sanitizer by the entrance. There are picnic tables and patio tables out front.

It has an unassuming entrance, with a small flight of stairs up. Inside you find a room full of character. With orange, blue and black décor and a slightly worn patina it's really quite welcoming. We knew from reading other reviews that we should expect to wait for good things - and we did. Went with one of the sandwich specials and the anti-pasta plate for 2.

As other yelpers noted, the owner will stop to chat. He's passionate about food - he does it because he loves it - the best kind of restaurateur. His background is in health supplements so he looks for and buys meats with lower nitrate levels, buys vegetables locally and seasonally and makes what he enjoyes eating. As a result, you never quite know what's on the daily menu. (He told us you can find out on a day to day basis on Facebook and Twitter.) We finished off with coffees - I had his special Caffe Latte with Nutella. Delicious. Worth it to go here just for the coffee. Would I return: yes Would I recommend: yes

The vegetables done good, but tofu again had just no flavour. Tofu had a spice rub all over, but it tasted like plain tofu. The Bacun strips were rice paper rolls with some attempted flavours but none came through. And two Vegan Bennies ($16) - a super grainy slice of bread topped with the same tofu, green onions, Bacun and some red pepper strips (NOT Coulis as described in the menu). If some person was having a tofu dish for the first time I think they would describe tofu as no flavour at all. We vegans know that you can do amazing things with Tofu. The home fries in the above dishes was the best - now that we could give 5 out 5. All of us had to go and get Sriracha and Ketchup from the counter to rescue the dishes. Coffee was too weak as well. When you go in and order on the counter and you get food delivered to your table. Should the restaurant still offer to tip on the machine BEFORE even we were served? The order did take a long time, the table not clean when we sat, no condiments on the table and coffee refills slow. An extra star for giving tons of vegan options

The Asada Fries are as good as ever. A mountain of guac and dressings and super crispy fries. Got the pastor torta this time around--this was the only thing I thought could use a bit more acidity since the meat was generous but a bit heavy.
