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.

Celina Bakery recently opened up (May 2024) where Orleans Bakery used to be. They sell Middle…read moreEastern meat pies and Pide. 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.

The Short Version: American cookie chain that expanded to…read moreCanada in recent years. Large sweet and rich cookies. A bit pricey in my opinion. The Long Version: Crumbl was founded in 2017 in Utah (USA) and expanded to Canada in 2023 and Ottawa got its first location in June of 2024 in College Square. The location I'm reviewing though opened in The Orleans Gardens Shopping Centre (it's actually a plaza) in October of 2025. When Ottawa's first Crumbl location opened, the lines were epic for months. I'm not one to stand in line for food, and especially not for food from a big chain, so I waited until the hype died down and then admittedly lost interest for a while, lol. Then in February 2026 I was spending time with my little nieces and decided to get us a cookie from Crumbl to share (I had already treated them to a donut each at Tim Hortons earlier that day, so I didn't want to overload them with too much sugar, lol, but I'm sure they would have gladly eaten an entire cookie each). I got us the Twix Caramel Shortbread Cookie ($6.29). Although it's larger than your average cookie I still find the price rather high. However the cookie did taste good. The shortbread cookie was very rich and buttery. The caramel was sweet and gooey. The chocolate on top was good and I liked the broken pieces of Twix bars. Overall though it was a bit too sweet for me. I had 1/8th of the cookie. My older neice ate 3/8 and my younger neice ate 1/4 of the cookie. My brother and mother split the remaining 1/4 so the kids wouldn't be too wired, haha. So everyone got at least a little taste. The kids loved it. The adults found it too sweet. The shop is takeout only. They have 2 ordering kiosks where you order and pay and enter your name. Then your name appears on their screen that tells you where you are in the queue. When your order is ready they call out your name. Staff were pleasant, but I had limited interaction with them. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot. Review #32 (2026)

I heard their cones can be sweet depending what you get, so I originally wanted to get a kiddie size, but they don't "kookie cone" that size, so I went with the small. The small is more like a large. It is shareable, if you like sharing your ice cream cone. I'm not a good sharer, but by the end of this cone, I was trying to pond it off to my husband. It was just too much. I got the chocolate hazelnut. He got the cotton candy. Both were good. This location is in a strip mall. They have a patio in the back where you can enjoy your ice cream. I personally like walking or going to a park to eat mine, so we drove up the closest place of greenery, which was in front of a hydro Ottawa building and ate our ice cream there. If this place was in a more convenient location, i'd probably go back, but for me it wasn't worth the hype or the drive. It's more of a once a year, type of treat.

Now that this location has opened, I only pick up pies here! The service at this location is remarkable, always welcomed with a smile, the service is quick as well even when there's a line up. The establishment is clean, you can seem them kneading the dough in the back, putting the ingredients on the pie, ready to be made in the domed oven. My favourite is the meat with cheese! However, all their selection of meat, cheese, Zatar, & Veggie pies are delicious. They are oozing with flavour especially when eaten fresh! It not $1.00 anymore but considerably priced. Highly recommend!

From my experiences at both locations, the selection is better and staff are more competent at this one. I usually go to one or the other when I'm grabbing some Timmies for my parents, as they are both close to their house. The Tenth Line Road one is closer, so I usually go there, but more and more I'm going to this one instead. Like most Tim Hortons, this one has a drive thru. It has a small dine in area as well. No patio or outdoor seating, which is part for the course for a Tim Hortons anyway. I'm a bit disappointed that since June 2020 Tim Hortons is supposed to offer skim milk as an option, but this location does not have it yet. So I have to settle for 2%. Lots of free parking as it's in a plaza.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Small Pakistani, Indian and…read moreMediterranean market in Orleans. Good selection of groceries and has samosas and Indian sweets. The Long Version: This small grocery store in Orleans markets itself as a Pakistani, Indian and Mediterranean market. It just opened up in August 2025 where Istanbul Food Mart used to be on Des Epinettes. I didn't even know the Istanbul Food Mart closed, but my brother who lives in the area told me about it. And when I drove by I saw a sign with a picture of samosas and knew I had to check it out, lol. My mom loves samosas, so when I came to visit her (she also lives near the store) I asked her if she wanted to check out the store together, and of course she was game. They did indeed have samosas. The big regular type and the smaller ones made with phyllo pastry. The big ones were vegetarian and $1.50 each. The smaller ones were chicken and $0.75 each. We got a big one and 3 small ones. They also had Indian sweets such as Barfi, Ladoo, Jelebi, Gulab Jamun and Rasgulla, sold by the weight. I don't know all the names but we ended up getting 4 different types to try. You can see my photo. The store has lots of spices, sauces and mixes. As well as imported drinks and snacks (my favourite, lol). The store is neatly organized. There's also an area at the front with tables and chairs where you can sit to enjoy some food or drink. We had the chance to speak with Ali himself and he was very friendly and welcoming. He told us his plans to expand their menu. They will be selling shawarma. He's also thinking of items like samosa chaat. And maybe some fusion poutine like curry poutine, and likely regular poutine too, lol. I think if they expanded their menu, their eat-in area would be a great place to have a snack or meal. It's by the front, which is all windows, so feels like you're in a solarium. The space is very lovely, and surprisingly so since it's inside a grocery store, lol. I liked how Ali was very genuine. When my mom asked if they will be selling big meat samosas, he said she's the third person to ask him that, so they will likely do so in the future. When I asked him if they will be selling baked samosas, he said I'm the only person who's ever asked that and he thinks baked samosas will likely not sell. Lol. I appreciate honesty! And I get it, you need to sell what people will buy ;) (As an aside, my mom said to me, "Jennifer, people want to eat deep-fried delicious things, not baked healthy alternatives like you do!") Fair! Haha. Ali also told us when his sign at the corner advertising samosas was handwritten no one came in looking for samosas but after he got a sign with a picture of samosas on it people started coming in asking for samosas, lol. The samosas were delicious. The big vegetarian one was filled with potatoes, peas and spices. It was spicy! Spicier than most samosas I've had and I loved it. The flavour was also unique. It was more complex and interesting than other samosas I've had. The small samosas were also good, but pale in comparison to the big one in flavour. My parents enjoyed the Indian sweets. They were too sweet for my tastes, but I already knew this because most desserts are too sweet for my liking, lol. The one with a carrot halwa base was the least sweet and the most enjoyable to me. Anyway, I'm really excited to see how this store evolves. I'll be stopping by again with my mom to try their new items. It's in a little plaza so there's free parking in the shared parking lot with other businesses in the plaza. Review #157 (2025)
