I was somewhat excited when I heard about the first COBS Bread opening up in Ottawa a few years…read moreago. However, my excitement fizzled somewhat when I found out it was going to be in Barrhaven. Nothing wrong with Barrhaven, it's just a part of town that I rarely find myself in. And honestly, I wasn't about to make a special trip down there to visit a chain bakery, even it was a new-to-me chain. So I never went. Fast forward a few years, and in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, they opened up a location in Orleans with little fanfare. I didn't hear about it on social media and only discovered it as I was driving to visit my parents and saw it out of the corner of my eye. Since I'm in Orleans like all the time, I finally got to try COBS Bread. Overall, it was good for a chain bakery. The prices for the croissants are a bit high in my opinion, but scones and their "teatime" pull-apart brioche are reasonable priced. So COBS Bread is the Canadian branch of Bakers Delight, an Australian chain. Most of their Canadian locations started out west in Alberta and British Columbia, but they have since moved east to Ontario. We don't have too many chain bakeries here in Ottawa, the other one that I can think of is Michel's Baguette. COBS Bread is definitely not as fragrant a bakery as Michel's Baguette, but they have similarities. There's a lot of selection. I ended up getting a Wild Blueberry and Custard Teatime ($6.49), 2 cheddar cheese and chives scones ($2.65 each) and 2 chocolate croissants ($3.75 each). The Blueberry and Custard Teatime was good. It's essentially a brioche, pull-apart style. It was soft and moist. I didn't taste too much custard though, just blueberry. It wasn't overly sweet. I enjoyed it. The cheddar scone was also good. It wasn't all that fluffy, but still tasty. Not too much cheddar flavour though. I didn't try the croissants because these were a treat for my little nieces, but I found them small for the price. Service was friendly. The bakery is really small and it's hard to see the selection when other customers are blocking the display. The bakery is in a plaza so there's lots of free parking.

They are REALLY good and they freeze really well. I usually grab a scone as well and a ham/cheese croissant for a little lunch on the go. Scones are great for breakie and I got a free one yesterday via the app. There is a new peach scone on sample! I usually get the raspberry. Sign up for the app and get notified by email re promos! It's new, it's busy but the line ups fade quickly. So many other things to try! I'll be back! No...! Yes!!!!!!!

The first thing you notice is the wide variety of choices in food and pastries. Their Americano is outstanding. I had the pleasure of sampling a few of their sandwiches and pastries and I was never disappointed. The boulangerie is very clean and has a Parisian atmosphere which I really enjoyed. I avoided going at lunch hour on any day; I just dropped in before or after these periods as it was almost impossible to get a table. The staff were very efficient and knew what they were doing. I cannot say enough about this boulangerie. A must visit. Their ground expresso coffee is one of the best that I have tasted and I left with 2 bags. Very well priced. If I could have taken more home I would have. Try the salmon tasting really devious as well as the almond croissant. The everyday breakfast croissant was tasty too. Located in a trendy shopping area. I spent most of my free time hanging out here. Got to practice my French which the staff were happy to help with. My thanks to all of them !!!

I was at Pelican Seafood Market and Grill for lunch a couple of Sundays ago, and explored what Blue…read moreHeron Mall had to offer. I was parked by Ichiban Bakery. I have a weakness for bakeries and decided to check it out on a Sunday afternoon. It's a small bakery where it is more concerned about the baked goods that it produces than making the decor aesthetically pleasing! The woman working there was extremely nice. I went with a number of goodies, including the ham and cheese bun, pain au chocolat, a number of lemon treats (lemon tart, and lemon cheesecake and lemon bars), and a pear tart. Yes, I love anything lemony. I asked about the Japanese-style cheesecake. You can get a slice of it for nearly $7, or the whole thing for $20. I decided to pass on it, as everything seemed so small and overpriced to me. She carefully put everything in a box and I cheerfully left the bakery. Here's my take on the baked goods: - The ham and cheese bun was excellent. I had it for breakfast the following morning. It was savoury and delicious. - The pain au chocolat is my favourite pastry in the world. Sadly, the exterior wasn't flaky and light like a croissant. It was far more dense. The chocolate was yummy. - The lemon and lemon cheesecake bars were disappointing. The lemon flavour wasn't tart enough for my liking. The lemon flavour was subtle and barely there. The crust at the bottom was too thick and not enjoyable. The cheesecake part of the lemon cheesecake was creamy, which was the only plus I got out of it. - The pear and lemon tarts were okay. The crust was thinner than the bars, but not that interesting. I liked the pear one more, as the chunks of real fruit were yummy. The lemon one wasn't tart enough for me, either. The woman let me know that this bakery would be closed for Canada Day the following day, but the other location in the Glebe would be open. I was fortunate to pass by the latter the other day and it looked cute from the outside. I will stick to savoury items should I return to this location. Perhaps I'll try a regular croissant and see if I like it. I will steer away from the lemon items. (228)

Ichiban Bakery is a small bakery in Blue Heron Mall. They sell bread (both loaves and buns),…read morecroissants, and dessert squares. No fancy cakes and no trendy macarons. It is unapologetically simple and reminds me of true mom and pop bakeries in small towns. Baked goods are still on the trays they were baked on. You get a cafeteria tray and use the provided tongs to gather what you want, then bring it to the cash register for them to ring it up. There are three tables that seat two people each along the edge of the bakery in case you want to eat your goodies right there. I've only ever had the croissants here. They are huge and only $1.85 each. They are flaky on the outside and a bit doughier and denser on the inside. The squares look good, I might get some in the future, although I am rarely in this neighbourhood. Staff are very nice. Although the name suggests a Japanese bakery, they don't have any Japanese specialties, at least none that were evident to me. I just saw North American items, like butter tarts, lemon squares, etc. Nothing exotic. Don't go expecting mochi, or Japanese cheesecake or anything like that. (Edit 2017-02-20: Apparently, as per their Facebook page, they started selling Japanese Cream Cheese Buns at their Glebe location 825 Bank St. Maybe they will have it at the Blue Heron Mall location too). Lots of free parking. It's in the same plaza as Farm Boy, Colannade Pizza, and Pelican Seafood Market and Grill.

Small and shared with a McDonald's and many other businesses. CLOSED MONDAYS. Staff were nice. Not a ton of selection.. I do wish that they had a bread slicer for their loaves. So far, I've tried a chocolate croissant and a plain one. Best served warm, I recommend. I also had a cranberry orange scone and a blueberry scone. I am a sucker for those things. The last time I went, I got the last two. The pastries in the case all looked sinful but delicious. Cakes too. I'm excited to have an occasion to buy a French baguette. Go early in the day to get the good stuff!

My parents and I were going to Kanata and I wanted to make the most of the trip by scoping out a new place. Modern General Food Group, in addition to being a mouthful and IMO an unusual name for a bakery, is very unassuming. It's in a strip mall next to a Circle K and unless one is specifically looking for it, one would likely drive right by it and not even realize its existence. The space is cute and looks a bit like a general store inside. They sell miscellaneous shelf stable food items, in addition to baked goods. I popped in with my mom, while my dad waited in the car. We got a croissant ($4), cinnamon swirl ($4), butter tart (don't remember the exact price, was between $3 and $4) and a lemon square (was a bit over $4). The total after taxes was $17.05. The lemon square had a nice tart flavour. The cinnamon swirl was fluffy and more cake than bun/roll. I'd say closer to a coffee cake. The butter tart was tasty. The shape is not the conventional butter tart shape, it doesn't have crust on the top, which I actually prefer because I don't like too much crust, lol. I didn't have any of the croissant. Service was friendly. Everything was placed in a box and then sealed with a sticker. I saw signage indicating they hold cooking classes there. They are also going to be installing a fridge to sell refrigerated foods/drinks. There's free parking in the strip mall.
