On a recent visit to Ottawa, on the recommendation of the concierge at my downtown hotel, I walked…read moremore than a mile more than once to enjoy the world class coffee experience at Little Victories! I'm a coffee geek and this place did not disappoint! Not only was service and beverage quality great, but last time I was there, my barista shared the narrowest of details in the crafting of my pour-over! On my return, I've enjoyed the perfectly roasted beans I purchased there and done a respectable job of making an above average pour over in my home! Little Victories will always be at the top of my list when in Ottawa!

No wifi as another reviewer stated, but great vibes and great coffee for sure.

It's in a converted old house, so there are so many rooms and nooks and crannies, lol. They have a small patio out front and a larger patio on the side. I imagine people like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell in their early years hanging out in places like the Art House, to give you an idea of the ambiance ;) I grabbed a breakfast sandwich and a lunch wrap to go. The Southwest Chicken Wrap ($9.85) was really tasty. It had pieces of chicken, rice, black beans, cheese, and corn (which I picked out, lol). It had a bit of a spicy kick, but I'd still consider it mild (or at most on the milder side of medium). The breakfast sandwich was an English muffin, cheese, egg and bacon. I like that it was real cheese and not like a processed Kraft Singles kind of cheese. Very tasty. Staff are super chill and friendly. I'll need to come back sometime to hang out. Street parking only.

TL;DR: Beautiful bakery in Old Ottawa East. Rich buttery croissants. A bit pricey for my budget…read more($7.90 for an almond croissant) but tasty. I dropped by Tartelette Bakery with my mom because I heard they have great croissants and my mom loves croissants. We got an almond croissant for us to share ($7.90). It was so rich, buttery and flakey. Very tasty. It had almond filling inside and I liked that it was a tiny bit runny and almost custard-like as opposed to the hard marzipan that is in many almond croissants. I found the price high for my budget, so definitely just an occasional splurge for me. It was a good size though. Bigger than at most other bakeries. Service was courteous. The cafe is pretty inside and they have some seating outside too. I came back on a subsequent visit and had their Pistachio Tart. Very rich and delicious. Same assessment as the Almond Croissant, lol. Street parking only. (138)

I found the decaf Americano had too sour an aftertaste for me, but the orange chocolate chip cookie was good. The Long Version: I've heard of the Ottawa Bike Cafe and have been meaning to try it for some time now and have finally gotten around to it. My husband and I were on one of our "food and drink weekend adventures" where we go to a bunch of places that are new-to-us and get a little something to share at each place. Like a food crawl, lol. Anyway the Ottawa Bike Cafe was one of our stops. We got a medium decaf Americano ($3.70) and an Orange Chocolate Chip Cookie ($4). My husband liked the coffee and he rated it 4/5. He's more of a coffee connoisseur than I am, so his assessment on coffee is likely more trustworthy than mine, lol. I found the coffee bitter with too much of a sour aftertaste, but I'm one of those people who like flavoured syrup in my coffee (whereas my husband thinks flavoured coffee is gross and drinks his coffee black. We got the coffee black by the way). I enjoyed the Orange Chocolate Chip Cookie, although I only had a few small bites as the hubby ate most of it, haha. I liked that the orange flavour was noticeable. It was a nice twist on the traditional chocolate chip cookie. It was a bit too buttery for my preference and a tad too crumbly, but otherwise a pretty good cookie. Service was pleasant. The place was packed. Decor and ambiance I would describe as hipster cool. If you like popular places that are bustling, this is the place to be. I personally like quieter places with fewer people (although sadly this usually means that places I like don't always stick around). Our visit was in March. I imagine that this place is even busier in the summer. It's on the stretch of Sparks Street that is pedestrian only, so great for people watching if you sit by the window or on the patio during the warmer months when they have outdoor seating. Street parking only. Review #54 (2026)

I had the fudgy roman turtle in a waffle cone and it was unlike any gelato I have ever had before. There were lots of nuts and the flavor was extraordinary. My children had fruit flavors and the vanilla bean. All of which were delicious.

I tried the chocolate cake and the icing just didn't hit the way it should've for a shop that's so well-known, it looked great but the flavour wasn't what I was hoping for. I also tried their cannoli. It wasn't bad at all, but there's definitely room for improvement. The filling was decent, but I found myself wanting a bit more richness and that classic creamy punch you usually get from a great cannoli. The shell had a nice crunch, but overall it just didn't wow me the way I expected. The place itself is cute and the display looks amazing, but for the price, I thought the desserts would stand out more. I'd maybe give it another chance, but it wasn't the mind-blowing experience everyone talks about.
