Haven't been inside one of Maverick's donut shops (yet!), but had to review as they supplied guests…read moreat the CHEO For The Kids Gala with donuts last night. The donut was so fresh and incredibly yummy. I have no idea what was used to make the circle logo on the donut but it was so soft and creamy. It made me think of the inside of a marshmallow, minus being sticky. The woman I walked out of the Gala with did not want her donut (to my benefit). So I was able to eat one on my drive home last night and split the second one in half for my children who happily devoured it this morning. My oldest even mentioned how great it was without prompting. Any local business that supports CHEO is always something I want to support. Definitely recommend Maverick's and will be stopping by their shop with the family this weekend to indulge.

I've tried Cinnaholic twice now, but even though I want to love it, I feel lukewarm…read more The ambiance is not there, between the lighting, crowded seating area, and bathroom (needed to be restocked). At the counter, I found some cool-looking seasonal offerings but none had any descriptions. When I asked for more information, I did get most of their names and a rundown of their toppings. But I wish the signage had been there in the first place. Even looking past these aspects of the experience, I just haven't been impressed with the actual cinnamon buns. They come in an awkwardly small box, and the plastic silverware on premise is far too flimsy to be used effectively. Eating a cinnamon bun should be the best part, but struggling to eat it really sours the experience for me. And then it didn't even taste very good. I think I won't try it again.

They have so many delicious options to choose from yet I always go for the orange/chocolate mix and any with the fruits , it gives you a fresh taste with the sweetness.

This is my family's go-to brunch spot and we cannot recommend this place enough. Everything from…read moretheir AMAZING service to the quality of their food and coffees are perfect. It's a family run business and everyone is always super nice! Every time we go - not even an exaggeration- they always serve guests with the brightest smile. They're so thoughtful and caring and really make you want to come here just for the interactions. Also, can I just say- for some reason, it's always so hard to find GOOD quality black coffee that's not sour and that the portions are fair for its price. LUNA HANDS DOWN has one of the best coffees in Ottawa and the portion size is 10/10. There's also lots of seating with a comfortable sitting environment and it's not too loud even during rush hours during lunch time. They have patios opened during summer, very cozy!

This place is awesome. To start off, the restaurant is quite big and has lots of seating, so you…read morecan usually come in without a reservation and get seated quickly. The food has always been fantastic, and the portions are always generous (keep that in mind when ordering!) The house potatoes that they have are the best (it's one of the main reasons that I eat brunch here) so definitely order something that comes with a side of potatoes if you can. For the crepes, something to keep in mind is that sometimes the crepe itself can be quite difficult to cut into. For example, we ordered the Crepe & Fruits, and it was so plentiful in fruits that when the crepe was opened it looked like a fruit salad (which unfortunately made it impossible to cut into). The crepe ended up getting cut up very messily, eaten alone and then the fruits eaten alone as well. There's only three options for crepes anyways, so just as a precaution I'd recommend getting a waffle instead (they're just as good but easier to eat!) The pancakes are even better- below is a picture of Carole's Cinna-cakes which is an absolute must have if you're a cinnamon roll fan like me. They were so good, and surprisingly super filling. I'm planning on coming back soon just to grab these again. Definitely an option I'd recommend! In general, though, most of the food items are great, and the nice part is that the menu is packed with different options to choose from, to the point where it might be overwhelming. It took us maybe 20 minutes to fully decide what we wanted to order because there were so many options that sounded delicious (maybe check the menu beforehand if you tend to get overwhelmed when ordering!) The area that this restaurant is in is also really practical. There's a bunch of different food places in the same row (like D-spot, Baton Rouge, etc), a nearby Landmark Cinema, Sportchek, and Centrum Plaza that's walking distance, which is perfect if you're looking to grab brunch with friends and then go for some shopping or walking around the area. All in all, so far all of our visits here have been fantastic, and it's definitely a great place to eat at!

Offers both savoury and sweet croffles with assorted flavours. Cinnanmon and sugar croffle - The closest to a plain croffle. A good blend of flavours. The croffle itself was pretty good.

This was my first time having a croffle, but as a croissant lover, I definitely enjoyed this more than a regular waffle since it had that flaky texture of a croissant. The croffles were a treat to have, and made fresh after you place your order so it's still warm when it gets served. There are a number of flavors/toppings to choose from, and a few simple drink options (water, tea, coffee, pop) . We ordered the Strawberry and Buenos flavours. The person behind the counter was friendly, and the interior was quite cute with its black tables and chairs, and pink walls.

When he showed me what he got me, I put my nose up to it and said "just a waffle" This is not just a waffle , it's croissant pastry baked in a waffle iron, which takes it to a whole other level in the dessert game. By the time I devoured it, it was cold, but I think I prefer it this way. Def going to make a stop in when I'm in the area.

We drove from Quebec to Niagara and one day on the road this was the perfect pit stop for coffee and an early lunch.

These are huge meals, and very delicious. The staff was friendly and the coffee was great! Don't pass this one by...

I heard about a new bakery in the area and saw they had some fish and veggie patties. I was a bit…read morecurious about it so I dropped by to check it out. The place looks really nice. There's a bit of seating but it's not massive by any means. There was a small lineup and there were quite a bit of students sitting around doing some work. I assume it's a popular spot for the students in the area. It's not just a bakery. They definitely have a coffee shop and offer teas as well. They have what looks like a nice selection of pastries and also bread. I was thinking of a coffee but held off and ordered a fish patty. Unfortunately that's not currently on the menu at the moment but I did see it was there at one point. I settled on a veggie patty and took it to go. Unfortunately there was an issue with the patty and returned to see if I could get something else. The staff were super great about it and in the end I decided to grab a baguette instead for dinner. I have to say, big fan of the baguette. It's cheaper than any other baguettes you can grab from Metro or Loblaws but more importantly they taste way better. Skip out the grocery stores and grab your bread here! I'll be back to try the coffee and other pastries in the future. Staff were great and really dig the vibe here.
