My only small critique is that there are sometimes a few powder chunks at the bottom. Other than that, it's a lovely spot. I especially like that they always have great gift options available, like jams, cakes, and curated baskets. J'aime beaucoup le matcha ici. I'm est bon et ils ont aussi une carte de fidélité, ce qui est un beau petit plus. Ma seule petite critique, c'est qu'il reste parfois quelques grumeaux de poudre au fond. Sinon, c'est un très bel endroit. J'aime particulièrement qu'ils aient toujours de belles options cadeaux comme des confitures, des gâteaux et des paniers gourmands.

    Less than zero stars. The Opéra cake we purchased was crusty and stale, possibly freezer burnt…read more The orzo salad my wife bought was off. The staff was combative and unsympathetic. At Christmas in 2025, we went to pick up our Christmas log. Despite having paid in November, they had lost the order, and almost refused serving us, despite showing proof of our purchase. The prices keep going up, and the cakes have been shrunk. After over twenty years of patronage, we are going to do business elsewhere. What a shame after having previously set high standards for quality, taste and service. The customers keep your business going. You depend on us, not the other way around.

    I stopped by this bakery to grab some pastries. Overall, I found the items I bought were ok, but I…read morewas not blown away by anything. I got 2 Portuguese egg tarts (Pasteis de Nata) $2.50 each, 2 cannoli $3.50 each and a cream filled horn pastry $3.50. I didn't like that none of the items had prices listed anywhere, so I had to ask how much everything was. The egg tarts were not fresh, as the pastry was all soft and chewy. The filling was sweet, rich and smooth though. I love Portuguese egg tarts for their flakey pastry with that crispiness to them when they are fresh, and I did not get that here. The cannoli fortunately were not soft nor soggy, but rather crunchy, despite being prefilled. The shell was a bit too dense and oily tasting for liking though. However, the filling was tasty. The cream horn was filled with a smooth custard, which I enjoyed, but I didn't really like the dry crumbly pastry. Overall, I enjoyed the fillings of the items I bought, but not the pastry. Service was neutral. I don't think they take credit cards because when I went to pay by credit, the man asked me if I had debit instead. The bakery is co-located with Syrian Kitchen. I saw some falafels and rice on display, as well as various dips and spreads in the fridge. No parking lot. Street parking only.

    Now also known as SYRIAN KITCHEN (says on their new business cards)…read more Based on what I have overheard and read, this place is now owned and operated by Syrian families, employing some recent refugees. They have retained the Portuguese name and products from working with the previous co-owner. This is currently the only place you can get Syrian falafel in town. They gave me and my partner each a sample falafel to try - the falafels were flavourful, crispy on the outside and moist inside. I liked it much better than a lot of other falafels in town!!! $0.65 each if you were to buy. Looks like they are made to order, or the pre-made ones are within the hour and fresh. We tried the Syrian falafel wrap ($6) and Beef steak sandwich ($7) and both were delicious. Don't expect the food to come super fast like other shawarma-type places because they don't have an assembly line. For the beef steak sandwich, they sauteed mushrooms and onions along with the beef on their grill until caramelized, which took a while, but it tasted so homey and fresh. Beef was a little tough but the flavour was good. We got a bunch of natas (Portuguese egg tarts) and they were really good. $1.75 each. We also got a bunch of kibbehs (beef croquettes) - which I have just reheated and am eating right now on Day #2 - and they are flavourful and still juicy inside even after reheating. 5/5 would buy again. And of course we got extra Syrian falafels to go....because they're so good and we eat them like cookies (except healthier...I think). Lovely people, homey food at very reasonable prices. Cannot wait to come back again.

    They have EVERYTHING. This place was honestly dangerous for me because i love me some baked goods…read more I'm a sucker for bread and desserts and theirs is AMAZING. Me and my good friend ordered an assortment of stuff and all of it came out so delicious. The service and fast and the people are kind. Come here if you have a baked good addiction like me, you won't regret it!

    This place has a huge following. Maybe I have always just gotten the wrong items at the wrong times…read morebecause I am not as enamoured of this place as the vast majority of people seem to be. My first visit was many moons ago, when French macarons were just becoming popular in North America. I had had macarons for the first time at a bakery in Toronto called Nadege and I will forever compare all macarons to the ones I had there, lol. At the time, I did not know of any place in Ottawa that sold them, then some time later, I had heard that The French Baker had them, so I was so excited to try them. I was so disappointed though. They were hard and tasted stale to me. That put me off trying anything else there for years. However, I believe in second chances and even third chances. Unfortunately, I can't say that any of the subsequent items I've had there blew me away. Their cupcakes are tiny and drier than I like. Their palmiers are rich and buttery though, but also tiny, lol. Good for portion control, I suppose ;) People love this place, so maybe you will too. As for me, I would eat it if someone bought me some food from this bakery, but it's unlikely I would return and buy something for myself there. It's in the Byward Market, so like most places there, street parking only.
