This bakery is amazing for people like me who don't like their pastries very sweet, but if you like…read moreyour pastries sweet, that's ok because they give you extra honey syrup to pour over the pastries if you want. My mom and I love Middle Eastern pastries, so I stopped by to pick up a few items on my way to my parents house. Some of their items are sold by weight and some by the piece. I got a piece of Shaabiyat (triangle shaped pastry made of phyllo stuffed with custard) for $2. I also got a piece of shredded phyllo Kunafa, a piece of semolina Kunafa, and a piece of cake layered with ashta cream and pistachio nuts. These 3 pastries were $23/kg and it cost me $12.65 for all 3 pieces. The Shaabiyat was quite sweet, but I still enjoy it, while every thing else was perfect for me, so much less sweet than at other bakeries. I loved it! My parents felt the other pastries were not sweet enough for them, but they just poured some of the honey syrup that came with the pastries on it and felt it was perfect. I love how you can control the amount of sweetness. Everything was delicious. I will be coming here for all my Middle Eastern pastries from now on. The lady serving me was very friendly. Part way through, a man came to the front and advised me that the piece of cake I ordered was from yesterday and he can get me a fresh one. Oh yes, please! Also they had some freshly baked Shaabiyat at the back and they would bring that tray out. Nice! I was so thrilled to be getting fresh items (I came on a Saturday morning). The lady also gave me a sample of their baklava while I was waiting. They did not have any Znoud El Sit while I was there, but hopefully next time, as this is my favourite Middle Eastern pastry. I am so glad that I discovered this place! It's in the Plaza on Vanguard at Tenth Line. Same plaza as Li's Fusion, Ali Baba Bakery and Chocolat Favoris. Lots of free parking.

The company started off as a home-based business and then eventually got a storefront. They are only open This, Fri, and Sat as a retail bakery. The other days they are only a pick up site for online orders. They have stuffed cookies ($6 each), mini stuffed cookies ($4 each) and regular (flat) cookies ($3 each). They also had S'mores bars when I was there (for $6.15). If you buy more than 6 there's a bit of a discount. I got the Campfire stuffed cookie. It's essentially a S'mores cookie. The marshmallow was super gooey and delicious. The chocolate was a smooth dark chocolate. The cookie was rich and buttery. I enjoyed the cookie, but $6 for a cookie is too spendy for my budget. Staff were friendly and patient. Since it was my first time there they explained the different types of cookies they have and the pricing. It's strictly a bakery, so takeout only. It's not a cafe with seating. Decor is minimalist. The bakery is in a strip mall right before a roundabout. There's free parking available in the shared strip mall parking lot. (166)

I have had their donuts before, but at a different location. This location is similar to other locations, so it was great. UberEats was having a buy one get one free offer on their Twist Lokma (12 pieces covered in white chocolate and Nutella, with fresh sliced strawberries and crushed peanuts). A box is usually $11.99, but I got 2 boxes for that price. They fry the lokma to order, so you know you are getting fresh donuts everytime. The lokma were nice and crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside. They are a little denser than at Mr. Puffs (who I think is their major competitor). They also sell ice cream and milkshakes, though I have never them. I picked up my order and service was friendly. They are located in a strip mall, so there's free parking in the strip mall parking lot. Turkish donuts are hard to come by in Ottawa, let alone Orleans, so I'm glad to see Lokma in the area :)

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.

I was at my parents' house and my brother dropped off a meat and egg Pide for us, which was super sweet of him, but it was covered in sesame seeds, so I could only eat this tiny corner where they missed sprinkling the sesame seeds (I can handle mild contamination. I wanted to have a taste, but didn't want to push my luck, lol). The tiny bit I sampled didn't have any egg on it though :( It was good. The pastry was soft and fluffy and the ground meat was flavourful. My parents really enjoyed it. I think it was their first time having Pide and my dad said he liked it better than Manakish/Lahmacun because the dough was softer. Celina Bakery sells the other types of meat pies too. I'll need to make a visit there myself sometime and order the food without sesame seeds to get a better taste of the food, but I enjoyed the little I had, and I wanted to spread the word about this newly opened bakery in Orleans! :) There's free parking available onsite.

Everything was moist and rich. Nothing was dry nor crumbly. The blueberry scone was my favourite. It was chock-full of big plump blueberries.
