The veggies are really delicious, packed well and fresh. Great system with leave the empty container for pick up and they leave a replenished container. Love the variety of what's delivered each week. We also like that we can add to our order other items as we need/want them a la carte like chia seeds, eggs or yogurt. A huge selection. I think this happened recently, or I just noticed it when I was browsing the goods for a la carte items but they have also partnered with some bakeries and you can order fresh baked items to come with your delivery. My personal favourite are the baked goods from Wild Oats. The brownie, oh it's just so good! We also really love that they deliver to our neck of the woods in the country (Dunrobin). The deliveries have been on point and reliable. The Customer Service at the main office is terrific. I personally think the cost is about the same as the grocery store but a much better selection, fresher and it makes our life so much easier just having this big glorious box of freshness delivered every week. Plus, we are supporting local and not big box. I like that. Highly recommend.

Welcome to Ottawa Spread......thank you for coming…read more Spread is of the farm to table concept and the owner Jules comes from a catering background in Toronto where she owned Pan Bagna Catering which specialized in France and Italian lunch cuisine. She moved to our glorious city - to get away from the ridiculousness of Toronto (my words) so if you work anywhere downtown you can order from their awesome menu which includes the following sandwiches.....Roast Paprika Chicken with a Creamy Dill, Lemon, and Honey Coleslaw or how about Pastrami, Sauerkraut and Russian Dressing......I opted for this one. Super fresh and great flavors. My sandwich came with the Potato Chips and homemade Three Onion Sour Cream and Pickles Dip.....ok I will confess the Philly Sour Cream Dip you buy at Beckers is one of my secret go to's.....I could kill a whole bag of ruffles and that dip. This dip kicks the crap out of that times 100.....i'm glad I can't buy this at Metro or I would weigh 500lbs by xmas. The onions are perfectly caramelized to add such a sweetness to the dip.....ummmmm - I may need to order some tomorrow. and the pickles.......ok, I hate dill pickles.....always have, but apparently they have changed me.....they make their own, and it's a combination of sweet and sour - very crispy and sweet.....nummy. my dessert was their butter tart......I have a weakness for butter tarts and they certainly stepped up to my tart fetish, and for the record their homemade butter tart is $1.50....pretty sure I've paid double that before. They are set up to supply lunch for your office - they will be doing their deliveries via bike courier, so for the "green" people out there that should make you happy. Get some people together in your office and give these girls a call or tweet them @spreaddelivers enjoy Ottawa,

Delicious! Spread came to our office today for a sandwich day. I tried the ham sandwich, with…read morepotato chips and dip. The bread is from Nat's Bread Company (delicious) and was topped with a fabulous ham (maybe a sweet pancetta?). I savored every bite. I was actually sad when I finished it. :-/ Potato chips were nothing special - but - they came with a great dip. Enjoyed those too. - though honestly I was over-full by the time I finished everything. Things to know: They will cater. They will also do a thing where they drop by with an assortment of sandwiches and people can buy what they want. All in all, loved the product - and the service. Would I recommend: Yes Would I return: Yes - as in, if they came to our office again, I'd be happy happy happy

The prices are great, the food is very tasty and it's all made from scratch - It's homemade. I would highly recommend that you try their lasagna... MMMmmmmmmmmmm... Everything on the menu is great though!

Oriental Palace is one of my favorite restaurants to order delivery from. They have Szechuan and…read moreCantonese dishes, and will even make special dishes for you, even if they're not on the menu. They also have a lot of family dinners, combination plates, and dim sum. I've ordered from them so many times, and the quality of the food and the service has always been consistent. Some of my favorites include garlic spare ribs, Oriental Palace Special fried rice, barbecue duck, and beef with noodles in black bean sauce. Their prices are all very reasonable as well, usually under ten dollars, and you always get much more than you expect. If you're looking for a new Chinese restaurant to try, definitely check this one out!

I've been wondering if anybody had khao soi in Ottawa since my return from a month over in Thailand…read moreand an extended portion of that in Chiang Mai. After searching around for reviews all over the place, Wandee sounded like they had some had khao soi that was as good as you find in Chiang Mai. Parking in the area is plenty but free parking might be harder to find, either way, lots of parking. It looks like it's mostly a pickup counter and they have a picnic table setup outside and a few other tables. Staff are super friendly. I placed my order oh khao soi and took it to go. When I got home and popped the lid, it smelled pretty nice but looking at the order, I felt like I might have got the wrong order. I poked around in it a little bit and there were definitely noodles in it. Did the taste test...honestly, I'm not sure what it was but it tasted like they may have taken a yellow curry dish and tossed some noodles in it and sent it to go. Wasn't a fan of their khao soi as it was lacking any depth or intensity. It was extremely thick and creamy as well. If this is just their yellow curry, I don't think it's for me. May try a different dish if I return but definitely won't get getting this again.

Terrible not good Quality DO NOT SIGN UP…read moreThey will not stand up to their end on Quality. The Owner hung up and would not help and said that I was emotional. No doubt but who says that. You tend to get emotional when you are stuck feeding your family low grade meat. They claim AAA but its not even close. Please be warned i would hate for another family to get stuck like we did. So disappointing. They won't cancel your contract so your stuck feeding your family poor quality

We did a spread sheet on what we ordered, after we had a in home visit from one of their sales rep…read more The price on their dried goods and canned goods was about a 1/3 the price of what you would pay at grocery stores. awesome ( but that's how they sucker you in) But what they "do not show" on their grocery items selection list is the price of their meats. When you ask about their prices they won't answer and try to push you along to order. Saying they have low prices because they cut the middle man (distributors and grocery store locations...) So what I did is put everything on a spreadsheet, My years worth of groceries order with CHG was just under $4000 I knew how much in lbs I was getting of each meat item. So I totaled up all the dried goods and canned items, came up with $500 $4000-$500= $3500 So that means I'm paying $3500 for their meat. I then went through each meat cut I ordered,( chicken breast, whole chickens, pork, sausages Bacon....) Found online the price per lbs at various local grocery store and started adding that up. Guess what?! For the same amount of meat in lbs that I was buying from CHG I was only spending between $1200-1500 buying from local grocery stores. That's about $2000 extra I was paying CHG. Yeah I save on their dried goods and canned stuff but not enough to justify overpaying for their meats by almost $2000. That's why they don't show you their price for meat cuts. With CHG you pay a set yearly price A,B,C,D. The sales rep suggested she go with C for our size family, not really explaining why. Maybe my scenario is a bit off, but not by much, I would strongly suggest you do your own calculations like I did. Unless you don't mind paying more for having your groceries delivered to you. If CHG could be upfront about what I'm paying for "everything" then maybe I would consider going with them, when I would find it convenient to pay more to have my food delivered.

I was looking for a local prepared meal provider. Someone to compete with We Cook. I did some…read moregoogling and found Flava Daddy. The meals *are* very flavourful. I have chosen the "Carb Hater" meals. I get double veg instead of a side of rice or potato or pasta. They are delivered to my door, still warm, by one of Flava Daddy's drivers in a reusable bag. So I don't have to deal with another cardboard box or bags of ice. I've been getting deliveries of six meals a week for about three weeks and I'm loving it. They come in a semi-reusable Glad plastic container. The nutrition and macros etc aren't listed on the packaging. That's one downside. I think they estimate the Carb hater meals (on the website) as being between 300-450 calories. I'd prefer a more exact breakdown. A better website would be another plus. As is, you can buy your subscription online and you don't need to make any calls but a more in depth site that is a tad easier to navigate would be beneficial. For a local business option in the prepared meal delivery area I would recommend Flava Daddy.

I heard from a friend about Wiser Meats and decided to try them out. We placed an order and within the week it was delivered to us in a huge cooler bag with a smile!

There is no water in the chicken and no strange smells like most people are used to from buying at the grocery store. I recommend this company hands down and have been dealing with them for well over a year now and always go back. Thanks Wiser Meats! You are amazing! **Update, I do live in Ottawa.. not sure why it suggests another location :(

TL;DR/The Short Version: Independent coffee shop in…read moreWestboro. Minimalist interior. Good selection of baked goods and they also sell coffee, lol ;) The Long Version: The Bower Coffee Company opened up about a year ago in the summer of 2024. Usually I like trying out new businesses that open up in my neighbourhood, but admittedly I'm not a coffee connoisseur. I doubt I'd be able to tell the difference between a $50 cup of Kopi Luwak and a cup of Folgers instant coffee, lol. So coffee shops don't really excite me. However, I recently learned that Bower Coffee Company sells baked goods from a business called Adam Bakes. I've been wanting to try treats from Adam Bakes for a while now, but they are only open on Saturdays 8am-12pm and not in my neighbourhood, so their limited hours have prevented me from trying them. I didn't realize that they also sold their baked goods to other businesses for resale, so when I discovered this, I planned a little coffee date for my husband and I at The Bower Coffee Company :) I chose a Cinnamon Swirl Blondie from Adam Bakes ($4.85) and my husband chose a Peanut, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip cookie from Art-Is-In Bakery ($5.25) and we got a regular 12 oz coffee ($3.25). The coffee tasted like any other coffee to me (unsurprising, lol). My husband is more of a coffee connoisseur than I am and his comment was it was a bit too watery, but otherwise ok. I loved the Blondie. It was rich and I think there's cheesecake swirled into it because it had creamy bits to it. It had a potent cinnamon flavour. I really enjoyed it and so did the hubster. I ended up hauling my butt out to Adam Bakes the following Saturday morning to try their other offerings, which weren't available at Bower Coffee. Adam Bakes will get its own review. I noticed that the prices are cheaper buying directly from Adam Bakes than at Bower Coffee, but I guess that's not surprising. The cookie was unremarkable in my opinion, but the hubby enjoyed it. It had whole peanuts in it as well as peanut butter and chocolate chips. It was soft and chewy, and the whole peanuts gave it the occasional crunch. Service at Bower Coffee was great. The barista asked me for the Blondie if I wanted a centre piece or an edge piece. I know some people like the crispiness of edge pieces, but I prefer the softness of centre pieces, so I was happy to be asked. The decor is clean lines minimalist. It's not a huge space, but has a decent amount of tables. It was bustling on a Sunday morning. Overall, a nice place for a coffee date, albeit a bit pricey in my opinion, but I get it, everything is expensive these days :/ We walked there, but it's street parking only for those coming by car.
