I had lunch here with one of my friends (Stacey B who's my friend irl that I recruited onto Yelp. Yay! Lol) and it was great. So Oat Couture (I have to say, as a person who loves food and fashion, I really love the clever name) is a cafe that sells oatmeal. Before you say "oatmeal bowls? Been there, done that!" listen to this: they have savoury oatmeal bowls (!) They have sweet oatmeal bowls too, but we went there specifically for the savoury ones. I got the Kyoto, which had beef brisket, shiitake mushrooms, pineapples and peanuts. There was some pickled ginger in it as well. I got a small bowl, which was $7. Medium was $11 and large was $14. The small looked really small, but I was actually satisfactorily full afterwards. I loved the beef brisket. It was actually lean! And also really tender. The sauce was sticky and slightly sweet. The shiitake mushrooms were also well marinaded and had lots of flavour. The pineapple chunks were fresh pineapple and not canned, yay! The amount of peanuts was excessive in my opinion, I could have done with half the amount, but I did like the crunch it added to the bowl. The pickled ginger (which was cut up into tiny pieces) added just the right amount of zing. I really enjoyed my oatmeal bowl. The flavours went well together. Stacey had the Hangover (cheddar, apples, bacon, maple syrup, and caramelized onions) and while I didn't have any, I could smell the bacon and it smelled so good! Lol. They also sell coffee and tea, sodas, oat-based drinks, and baked goods. I liked that they had a water dispenser where you can help yourself to water. Service was nice and friendly. You order, pay at the cash register, and pick up your order when it's ready and seat yourself. The place is not that big and seats are close together, so it would probably be really snug in there when it's busy. Decor is cool. I love their hammock-like suspended chairs at the front window. There is a single gender neutral washroom. For some reason there was a large flat screen TV in the washroom (!?!) It was not turned on when I was there. The washroom was clean, but they were out of paper towels during my visit - better than being out of soap! It was my first time having savoury oatmeal and I loved it. I personally found it a little bit pricey, so unfortunately I won't be a regular. Oat Couture is in Old Ottawa South, just south of The Glebe. Street parking only.
went for their Night Oat offering! bartender was incredibly kind and happy to make accommodations, the restaurant itself was quite a bit emptier than expected but overall still quite cute! the ricotta was incredibly smooth, but the hot honey could have been a BIT spicier
Oat Couture accommodates dietary restrictions and has gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options, and you can customize your bowl to the way you like it. The oats themselves are gluten-free and locally sourced. Not only do they offer sweet bowls with your standard toppings and stir-ins like homemade yogurt, fresh fruit, purees and compotes, they also have things like shortbread, lemon curd, and graham crackers and toasted marshmallow. They even have seasonal bowls, like the pumpkin one they had in the fall. They also have overnight oats, baked oats, oat-based smoothies, and granola. Gourmet oatmeal at its finest. I don't really have a sweet tooth, so I'm a fan of savoury oats! They have a few options like the Hangover with bacon, aged cheddar, caramelized onion, and apple, a nacho-inspired bowl, one with poached pear, dried fig, blue cheese, and pecan, and a Caprese bowl. I have to make my way through their menu, but I decided on the Kyoto bowl the last time, which has beef brisket, shiitake mushrooms, fresh pineapple, crushed peanuts, pickled ginger, green onion, and sesame seeds. I really enjoyed it! Hearty and filling, naturally sweet from the pineapple and savoury with the brisket. Definitely recommend sweet oatmeal fans give it a shot for something different! We were tempted to pick up some wine and beers to-go from their selection, but next time I visit I'll have to get a takeout scotch tasting flight since they also moonlight as Montgomery Scotch Lounge!
This spot and the sister location on Gladstone are fantastic. An awesome concept, and really good food. Overnight oats were super tasty, and the coffee is top notch. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful also, happily explaining the menu. The ambiance of the cafes is chic and comfy. We enjoyed hanging out. A great experience start to finish. Can't wait to return. Highly encourage supporting this business, and the new Gladstone location as well. You'll enjoy it!
My all-time favourite cafe in Ottawa! Everything on the menu is amazing and is made in-store which really shows in the quality of the food. The staff are all so so friendly and the overall vibe of the cafe is beautiful. Best study spot in o-town with great lattes and such too! My fav bowls are Wimbledon, Savannah, and Sorrento, plus the holiday/seasonal bowls are always a must-try. The owners are also very involved in the local community which is so nice, they have a meal program plus have campaigns for supporting local business which I love!
This spot is excellent! They are open early and a great brunch spot every day of the week (especially when Ottawa can be a bit difficult to find places that offer weekday brunch during Covid). For my first time here, I tried one of the Savoury bowls (Hangover with bacon, apple, caramel iced onion and maple syrup). I was a little nervous about trying a savoury bowl rather than a sweet one but the waitress was so helpful and convinced me about how delicious the savoury bowls are and that Hangover is a good choice for your first time trying one! I'm definitely not a huge oatmeal person and I still really enjoyed this place! Cute outdoor patio that's been expanded due to Covid and lots of seating!
I loved the oatmeal breakfast. They had amazing vegan breakfast options and been craving for them all week. It was an absolute delight and god freaking damn the oat meal was delicious. Massive kudos to the staff.
These doughnuts are light, airy and moist with an extra boost of flavor, colour and freshness from the orange and a faint hint of almond. And holy crap they smell AMAZING! The zesty orange flavour totally shines through and blends in so well with the carrot and almond extract combo. I also love the extra drizzle of orange icing and chopped almonds which makes for a delicious morning pastry or midday snack.
This place is a must!! First off, the location, patio, and general atmosphere is so comfortable and lovely. The staff are super friendly and helpful - the menu is quite large! I ended up having the locomotive oatmeal bowl and it hit every chocolate/sweetness I was craving. The staff said it was a great choice, had a tiramisu taste and was oh so right! So delicious!! A also just had their drip coffee, and it has so far been my favourite brew in Ottawa. Just can't get enough. Definitely a spot to return to!!
I am a big fan of oat meal as I eat it almost every morning so when randomly walked in front of this beautiful front store called oat couture (great play on word) I had to try it. The Menu threw me a curve ball with their savoury oatmeal that was topped shrimp . I did stay in the beaten path with the Rrreddblack. Rhubarb,strawberry, vegan oatgurt and steal cut oat++. It's was simple and very filling (I got the large) As I mentioned, I eat oatmeal all the time so I know how not boring and delicious it is but for the people out there who's thinking of a pack from the Quaker guy, go there and rediscover oatmeal because it's delishhh.
I was very impressed by Oat Couture. This unassuming little coffee shop/oatmeal outlet was warm and inviting like a hot bowl of its eponymous grain cereal. Mind you, this is not traditional oatmeal. This is indeed haut couture. I had the savoury "bubba" oatmeal dish which featured shrimp and avocado served on a bed of oatmeal that was infused with cumin, lime and green onion. The result was delightful. It was not unlike a flavourful rice side dish - warm, soft but not overwhelming. The menu otherwise looked expansive with a variety of both sweet and savoury creations that made me want to come back and try more. The staff was quite friendly and I enjoyed their choice of music. The swing in the corner was a lovely accent. Free wifi doesn't hurt either. Overall, this is a lovely new space with great food and one I hope to return to time and again.
This is a very nice coffee shop in the neighborhood . Not sure where they get their beans from. I saw they sell "little victories coffee" so it might be from there. Prices are reasonable, service is polite and the artwork on drinks is a nice addition. Tried a couple of sweets and everything was quite enjoyable. The interior is clean and cozy. Good place to chill on a sunny afternoon.

WHAT A LITTLE JEWEL TO DISCOVER! And very Gluten-free and vegan friendly!!! Oh and dog friendly #welove So went there with a friend who was very thoughtful of my intolerances. They have this amazing selection of oat bowls...it is oat paradise! My friend took something with peaches and I did with the blueberries without lemon curd. They replaced it with a raspberry coulis. Anyway, felt perfectly full as we left and truly if I were to live in that neighbourhood, it would be my to go to place! read more

Listen. If you haven't tried savory oatmeal, you need to. After a life of eating oatmeal exclusively with some sort of sweetener added (brown sugar, agave, honey, maple syrup), I decided to give savory oatmeal a try at Oat Couture Oatmeal Cafe. I ordered their Atlas bowl which consists of oats, a savory pool of peanut butter on top, and chia seeds sprinkled around the perimeter. It was amazing. Savory oatmeal is the jam. I'm full steam ahead and never looking back. The peanut butter stirred in beautifully and the chia seeds added a nice little crunch. It was delicious. For my beverage, I got their salted caramel latte which was also delicious. Their espresso is rich and smooth and for a flavored latte, it wasn't overly sweet. Delish! Would definitely stop here again on my next trip to Ottawa! Get to it! read more

Everyone was sooooo kind! And the food was amazing! Their menu has food that accomodates anyone. Just ask, because the menu is pretty extensive! The oatmeal options are amazing. I had a lemon one and it was so good. My husband had a nutella one that was too chocolately for me. But they were incredible. I would go here again and again for the creative oatmeal options. The coffee was fantastic too, I had a maple latte that was divine! The environment was so quaint too. We had a cozy table that looked like it was made from concrete. There was concrete art at the bar and every decorative piece was interesting and pleasant to be around. There was even two hanging chairs in the front that looked super inviting. Outside there was a cart of lunch bags that were available to "anyone that needs one". THe restroom was a bit small but clean and it all was just a great visit. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. read more
