Super Cute boutique. But the customer service was meh. I felt like we were not well received, but…read moremaybe they were busy? But they had a decent selection of flavors, that were brightly colored (could be good, or could be bad, depending on what they use). We got a box of 8 and tasted a few flavors. Some were really "bright" flavors. I found the raspberry chocolate was so good and vibrant in color and flavor. But the M&M flavor, meh, skip it and get the salted caramel. But If I was in the area and I wanted a macron, I would come here again. If we had more time we would have sat in for tea, but we didn't. I would like to try that again with tea and get the whole experience. Parking is street parking. Placed seemed clean. It's small but lovely and cute.

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.

He mentioned that it looked like they were making them fresh on location! Bonus!! He brought home a mixture of different flavors he thought I'd enjoy. Dulce de leche & puffed quinoa, salted caramel, pistachio, brownie, cappuccino, coconut and cinnamon and vanilla. They were all amazing, and super fresh, that I seriously cannot pick a favorite, they were seriously sooooo good! Totally worth the calories ;) If you are a macaron lover, you have to add this to your list of places! I really do not think you can get any better than this in Ottawa. P.s. They have two other locations in the city: Richmond Road and Montreal Road.

TL;DR: Delicious fluffy decadent doughnuts in a cafe in a large shopping plaza complex…read more After a healthy salad lunch next door, my husband and I decided to get some doughnuts for dessert. Life is all about balance, right? Lol. I got the Pêche et Fraise (Peach and Strawberry) which is a jelly doughnut covered in powdered sugar. Doughnuts are $4.50 each. My husband got the Tour de Chapeau (which translates to Hat Trick) which is a yeast doughnut with chocolate glaze, covered with chocolate crumbs and drizzled with white chocolate. It is not a filled doughnut. We shared both doughnuts. I always prefer filled doughnuts, but I was a bit disappointed with the filling of my doughnut. It tasted like pureed peaches and strawberries true to its name, but the texture was like applesauce which wasn't yummy, at least in my opinion. I would have preferred either more of a jelly texture or a peach and strawberry-flavoured custard. So surprisingly, I enjoyed my husband's doughnut more. The Tour de Chapeau was so fluffy and soft. The chocolate toppings were sweet and decadent. The crumbs gave it a nice subtle crunch. Service was courteous. There was only one person working and customers before me ordered specialty drinks so the wait was a bit long. They also sell ice cream, in addition to doughnuts, cookies, sandwiches and coffee/tea. There's indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. They have 2 arcade machines, Ms Pac-man and Mortal Kombat. They also had some boardgames available for customers. I saw Battleship and Connect Four. Lots of parking available in the shopping plaza parking lot. (153)

I went after closing (I didn't realize the time) and they still let me in! I chose my favourite, the spiky chocolate cake, and it was heavenly. Perfect if you need a serious dose of chocolatey-goodness! If I could walk here I would get one every week, hehe. They also might have a couple of the small tarts for 50% off as it was in the evening, so I got the fruit custard tart (and it tasted very fresh). Will be back!
