Highly recommended these! The restaurant is just a few tables but it is cozy and inviting. Service is courteous.

The Short Version: Middle Eastern bakery in Wellington…read moreWest. Good meat pies although prices a bit higher than other bakeries in the city. The Long Version: Solomon's Oven opened up at the end of 2025 in the space that used to be Bread by Us (Bread by Us moved further west onto Smirle Ave). It's a Syrian bakery specializing in Middle Eastern savory baked goods such as manakeesh, kaak and saj. They also sell baklava and other desserts, as well as dips like hummus. I got a man'ousheh/meat pie ($6.99). There was a bit of a wait for it because it was freshly baked and they had a lot of customers. Despite being busy, service was courteous and I felt welcomed. The meat pie was piping hot, which I appreciated. It had a good amount of meat and the pastry was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pastry was not too thick nor too doughy. However, the meat was missing that smokey flavour that I enjoy with Middle Eastern meat pies. Nonetheless it was still good. The price was a bit higher than at some other places in the city of comparable quality, but I recognize that rent in Wellington West is higher than say in Nepean. The decor inside is nice and it feels like a little cafe. Street parking only. Review #17 (2026)

Al-Rayiss Bakery opened up mid-2022 in the space that was Sahara Dunes Shawarma. They sell Middle…read moreEastern meat pies. I got a regular meat pie ($2.85), with spices but no lemon, and it was pretty good. The spices adds flavour, not really heat so don't shy away if you don't like hot spicy foods. I don't like added lemon juice because I find it makes the pie too sour, but most people add both lemon and spices. The pies have a generous amount of meat and the pastry isn't too thick, which is how I like it. It was crispy on the outside, but still a bit chewy on the inside. Definitely a solid Lebanese meat pie. Staff were nice. And I liked how they have a sink there and I saw staff washing their hands before preparing my food. Many Middle Eastern meat pie bakeries have their listed prices inclusive of taxes, but not here, their prices are before taxes. However, they do take plastic as well as cash, unlike some other places that only take cash (like Aladdin's) or only take plastic (like Bibi's). It's in a strip mall, so plenty of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.

On December 23, 2025, at 7:30 am - the bakery opens at 7:00 am - there were no more baguettes, no more see bread, not much of anything else, for that matter. The enormous bags full of all kinds of bread next to the door were for Ottawa businesses, not for the loyal customers of the bakery. It's quite telling of the values of the new management.

This is a pastry that I've had at lots of different bakeries and it's one of the best I've had here in Ottawa. I recently tried this pastry with marshmallow cream on top.

Prices aren't listed, but a triangle cream baklava and a small piece of the marshmallow pastry cost me $5.17 altogether with taxes. They have so many desserts and everything looks so good.

My friend and I had arranged to meet at Shoppers Drug Mart for a tour around the area and more. I…read morehad parked my car a block north and was walking over to SDM. A woman approached me outside COBS Bread and asked if I wanted a peach scone sample. Does the sun rise and set regularly? Of course I'm going to say yes to a free sample! She gave me a cubed sample in a plastic cup. I also got a coupon for a free loaf if I spent at least $15. I thanked her and continued to walk over to our planned meeting location. I realized once I was in front of the drugstore that I couldn't bring in any food. I texted my friend to let her know that I was outside eating. She was great meeting me outside. We then started our walking tour. We were heading eastbound. It meant that we'd be passing by COBS. I let my friend know that I had enjoyed a sample from this store. The same woman was there and she gave my friend a sample. The peach scone was awesome! It was naturally sweet, but so yummy in the scone. I enjoyed it immensely. It screamed summer. My friend and I had a nice day hanging out. It was wonderful discovering neighbourhoods that I had never set foot until this day. Hours later, we called it a day and parted ways. I went to shop at SDM. Afterwards, I had to pass by COBS yet again, to head over to my car. A male staffer was outside handing samples of the store's apricot delight loaf. Okay, you twisted my arm. I took one, thanked the man, and headed over my car. The apricot was a nice addition to the bread. You don't need to spread anything on it. It tasted yummy just the way that it was. It was so fresh. I saw my friend's photos of her baked goods that she had purchased, taking full advantage of her coupon. I decided to return to this store the day that I was driving home. I parked a block away, across from SDM. I then walked over. There was a different man handing out samples. It seemed greedy to get another sample when I was going in to buy stuff. I embraced greediness and got a sample of the bakery's cinnamon bun. Holy cinnamon! There was so much cinnamon. I was happy! The bun was soft inside, with a cinnamon crust that provided a nice contrast. The problem now was deciding what I wanted to buy. I stepped into the store and wanted everything! It was fairly busy on an early Sunday afternoon. Luckily, the lineup moved at a good pace. Besides bread, buns, and scones, you can also get danishes and mini pizzas. My haul consisted of the following items: - Raspberry and custard danishes (2) - Peach and custard danishes (2) - Chorizo and prosciutto mini pizza - Apricot delight loaf (free with coupon) The first three items were placed in paper bags. This setup worked well, as I'll explain in a bit. The woman asked if I wanted the apricot loaf sliced. I said yes. She then asked if I wanted thick or thin slices. Ooh, how fancy! I went with the former. I watched the machine do the slicing. It was cool. I paid with credit card. Done! I thanked the woman and walked over to my car with my purchases. I am normally a planner, but I didn't when it came to deciding whether to meeting up with my best friend in Peterborough. She was at her mom's place in Campbellford and invited me over there that morning. My friend called me in a video chat. It was bad that she went video because her wifi connection couldn't handle it. An audio chat would have been a ton better! Anyway, I asked her whether her mom had any allergies. She didn't. Yay! I decided to bring her danishes from COBS. My friend is vegan, so only the apricot delight loaf would be suitable for her. However, I had already given her a bunch of vegan donuts a week earlier, so I focused on her mom instead. I split the danishes between her mom and me. I hadn't seen her mom since I was in high school. Yikes! I gave her a bag of danishes. She appreciated the gesture. I had the raspberry danish when I got home that night. It was delicious. The raspberries had a bit of tartness. It was great with the smooth custard. The danish was yummy with a light dusting of powdered sugar. The peach and custard danish held up the following day. It still tasted fresh to me. The peach added natural sweetness to the danish. The custard was the same smooth, delicious custard that I loved the day before. This danish was a bit different in that it had a light drizzle of icing sugar instead of powdered sugar. It wasn't overly sweet. It worked nicely. For lunch, I had the chorizo and prosciutto mini pizza. I heated it up in my toaster over. It was excellent! It's a fancy meat lover's pizza. The bread was crunchy on the outside and chewy inside. The chorizo provided a bit of spiciness, while the prosciutto crisped up nicely and became a thinner, crisper version of bacon. It's funny that this COBS visit was my first at any location. I had a great set of experiences leading up to my purchases. I'd definitely return to mooch on free samples and buy more goodies. (303)
