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.

It's in a converted old house, so there are so many rooms and nooks and crannies, lol. They have a small patio out front and a larger patio on the side. I imagine people like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell in their early years hanging out in places like the Art House, to give you an idea of the ambiance ;) I grabbed a breakfast sandwich and a lunch wrap to go. The Southwest Chicken Wrap ($9.85) was really tasty. It had pieces of chicken, rice, black beans, cheese, and corn (which I picked out, lol). It had a bit of a spicy kick, but I'd still consider it mild (or at most on the milder side of medium). The breakfast sandwich was an English muffin, cheese, egg and bacon. I like that it was real cheese and not like a processed Kraft Singles kind of cheese. Very tasty. Staff are super chill and friendly. I'll need to come back sometime to hang out.

I wanted to try this place out because it's listed as a dessert place and I really enjoy dessert. Perhaps dessert isn't as profitable as one would want because they've "diversified" the menu and serve a few sandwiches and pre-packaged ramen. For me, though, the aroma of stale ramen on the air just doesn't help my appetite for dessert. Also, the restaurant was dark and didn't look as clean and bright as I want in my dessert place (or anywhere I eat). That might have just been my perception. Fortunately, they didn't have the dessert that I wanted. So, we left the ramen shop quickly.

The place was packed on a Friday afternoon (around 1pm). I ordered the London Fog scone to go ($2.50). It was big and puffy and had a smear of icing on top. I was a bit surprised to see actual tea leaves inside. Truth be told, I wasn't too keen about this. I prefer to have the tea flavour, but not bits of actual tea leaves in my desserts. The tea flavour actually wasn't as pronounced as I would have expected considering the presence of the leaves. I was a bit disappointed in this regard because I love potent tea flavours. However, the scone itself was well made, and I think I would enjoy other flavours more (like maybe a savoury one such as cheddar). Service was nice enough, and the cafe is cute. I think it would be a nice place for a date or to catch up with friends. It's in Old Ottawa South. Street parking only.

We received a bunch of Life of Pie goodies from my parents through Givopoly. They live out of town…read moreand wanted to send us food after I had the baby, which we really appreciated because we couldn't manage or even think about making food for ourselves during the crazy first few weeks. We received double berry and brown sugar and raisin scones, a broccoli and cheddar quiche, a raspberry crisp pie, a tray of brownies, and a little orange teddy bear with a card (I don't think this one was from Life of Pie). My favourites were the brown sugar and raisin scones and the brownies, even though I only had maybe one and a half brownies before my husband ate them all. They were perfectly moist, not overly sweet, and super addictive. Both types of scones were great (and huge!), but I hadn't had raisins in forever, so I enjoyed the couple different kinds they used and they were generous with the amount in the scones. It was sweeter than the berry one, which I normally wouldn't like, but I could've eaten them all week. They had such a great sort of toastier outside and were still moist inside, even after a few days of sitting on the counter. They didn't even need heating or toasting! I wouldn't have bought scones if we went there in person, since they're not usually a go-to baked good of mine, so I'm glad we got to try them and I'd definitely order them in the future. There were instructions on the box on how to heat the quiche and the pie. The quiche was a nice, light breakfast with fluffy eggs and a tasty crust. I would've liked more cheddar for more of that cheesy flavour, but I'm cheese obsessed so I think it has a regular amount and I'm just greedy for cheese. The pie was the same for the crust. I wasn't keen on all of the raspberry seeds and I wished the crisp past stayed crispy, since it sort of absorbed the sugar from the jammy filling and didn't crisp back up with baking or broiling. It was very, very sweet, but some frozen coco whip on top helped and some vanilla ice cream probably would've been better if we had some. What a great way to try Life of Pie for the first time!
