So Lokma sells Turkish donuts called Lokma, lol. They are very similar to the Greek donuts…read more(loukoumades) that Mr. Puffs sells. I think they have an affiliation with Bergham (formerly called Centrale Bergham) because these two businesses seem to be co-located, not just at this location, but from what I see, at their other locations (in Montreal) as well (this one on Bank Street is the only Ottawa location). Anyway, the lokma are are deep fried balls of dough. They fry them when you order them, so they are super fresh. You can choose a variety of sauces and toppings. We got a small order (12 pieces) for $6.99. With the small order, you can choose up to two flavours. We got the Belgian milk chocolate and the strawberry syrup. Since some of the lokma were a bit smaller than the others, we got some extra pieces. Whoo hoo! Lol. The lokma were tasty. Slightly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I found the chocolate topping to be a bit too sweet. I liked the strawberry syrup a lot more. It was less sweet. I have had the loukoumades at Mr. Puffs on Greber Blvd in Gatineau, and I personally liked those better (crispier on the outside, chewier on the inside, and the flavours were better (apple cinnamon was so delicious, and the had blueberry too, 2 flavours that Lokma didn't have)). However, Mr. Puffs is across the river in Gatineau, a place a rarely go to, so Lokma is more convenient for me. Service was efficient. Like I mentioned earlier, Lokma is co-located with Bergham. Their ordering counters are side by side and they share a common seating area. Both businesses are in a tiny plaza, along with a Tim Hortons. There is free parking in the plaza.

I haven't been since 2024 but Roll'd was my fav dessert spot in Ottawa... I'd fly from Vancouver…read morejust to go again! Staff was amazing and the ice cream was always so fresh and fun!

I've been wanting to try rolled ice cream ever since I learned of its existence a few years ago,…read morebut as many know, Ottawa is often behind with trends. Ottawa's first rolled ice cream shop was another location of Roll'd Up that opened on York St in the Byward Market not only in the middle of the Covid Pandemic, but in the middle of winter! I still haven't made it there, but was so excited to see another location open up in Lansdowne Park. And when it was technically Spring, although didn't really feel like it yet, lol, I went to check it out. So the Lansdowne location just opened the last week of March 2022. They had been open for 1 week when I visited. I got a small Strawberry Cheesecake rolled ice cream ($8.95) and my husband got a small Skor rolled ice cream ($8.95). It's pretty pricey, but I think the price includes the "show" they put on as they make it, lol. So they pour the ingredients onto this frozen metal sheet and they mix it. Then they spread it out real thin. Then they roll it. It's pretty fun to watch. The ice cream also tastes really good. Very rich and creamy. I asked for "a lot of whipped cream" and they certainly delivered, lol. You can see my pictures. My husband's has the regular amount of whipped cream and mine has extra ;) Service was very friendly. You order and pay with the Cashier near the cafe and cakes area, then you take your receipt and let the Ice Cream Roller know what your order was. The ice cream takes a while to prepare, so I can see how the wait would be long if it were busy. They sell coffee and tea, as well as cake slices (I think the cakes are from Dufflet Pastries from Toronto). It's a really cute place to hang out or for a date. So glad I got to try rolled ice cream!! Street parking only (if you can find any), or you can use one of the paid parking lots nearby.

Hmm, maybe getting a beaver tail loaded with maple syrup and chocolate on a hot day (33C/92F)…read morewasn't the smartest thing. I did not realize it would be served hot - really hot - and without tables or chairs in the immediate vicinity, I had to walk a bit to find a place to sit and eat it, without singing my fingers in the process or drizzling the sauces on my clothing. But was it worth it? Emphatic YES. The nearby pigeons seemed to agree as well. I think beaver tails need to be a basic food group, they're just so versatile, readily willing to be filled, topped, sweetened, etc.. And you have so many decadent options to try for that. Though if you are concerned about sugar, plan carefully, especially if you decide on some type of sweeteed beverage to accompany your food order.

I swung by the Three Tarts on a Friday afternoon and wowza, they had a SUPER long line up outside…read more That's kind of when you know that the food is good. I waited in line for a while and when we got to the front (we were just looking for a snack), we saw that they only had a few snacks and cakes available. We grabbed two of the butter tarts and they were super nice, boxed everything for us and then put it into a paper bag. Wow, the raisin butter tarts were amazing! I usually personally do not like butter tarts, but wow, the crust was so flakey, full and buttery. I couldn't get enough of it. The raisin and the inside was also tasty, but the crust stole the show for me. I am so glad I went and can't wait for the next time I get to go!

I was really looking forward to coming here after passing a few times and browsing the website. I…read morefinally made it in today. I was there 5 minutes after opening and was so disappointed! they only had two kinds of tarts (butter tart and pecan butter tart) a few kinds of cookies, one kind of bar and a few whole cakes. they had a cheesecake with a few slices left in it that looks dried up around the edges, one other pre sliced cake and a "day old" in the same case for sale. was quite strange and I chose not to get anything. I had been on their website and was ready to buy several things to try, I guess you have to pre-order them all as the only option? It was overall unappetizing and looked more like end of day display than fresh opening display. I even almost asked if what was on display was made today but just decided to leave.

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)
