Baklava is yummy, the lady who served us patiently explained the sweetness & flavours since it was our first time buying these sweets. Can't say if it's better than other places because we haven't been to other bakeries yet, but for newbies... we're happy with the quality!

I'm pretty sure this is the second branch of La Brioche (the first being the one on Bank St at…read moreThornton in the Glebe). They sell lots of different pastries but specialize in Middle Eastern pastries. I love their Znoud El Sit, and I went on a Thursday and they had them! Some places only have this on the weekends. They are $2 each and are shorter but fatter than other places - more delicious creamy filling! The cream is a little clumpier and not as smooth, but I don't really mind. They have macarons for $1.50 each. I haven't tried them but they looked good. The bakery is really clean and well lit. Staff were nice. It's in a strip mall (right next door to Capital Buns Bakery). Lots of free parking.

I haven't been to the bakery in Chesterville, but they have a stall at the Westboro Farmers' Market…read moreby my house and I've tried their Crunchy Marshmallow Brownie Squares and they are delicious. These squares haunt my dreams, that's how good they are! There's a layer of brownie, then a thick layer of gooey marshmallow then a peanut buttery chocolate spread on top that has crisped rice in it. It's heavenly, and only $3 for a good sized piece. I had a chat with the man manning the stall and he said he was the owner's dad. He was super nice and we chatted a bit and I asked him where the bakery was, and he said Chesterville. I asked him where that was and he said 45 minutes southeast of Ottawa, and told me a bit about Chesterville. He also said they are frequently at the Farmers' Markets in Westboro and Lansdowne. If you are in Chesterville, I would definitely recommend checking out the dessert squares at The Rite Bite. Or if you are an urbanite like me, check them out at the Farmers' Markets, lol. Can't wait to get more squares! ;)

I can't say enough great things about this place. Riley's Bakery is a staple of Cornwall's downtown…read morecommunity and easily one of my favourite lunch stops. The only complaint I can think of is if you show up between 11:30am and 12:30pm, there is a good chance the line will be backed out the door. On this particular occasion I made it right around 11:30 am and I only had 4 people in front of me in line. The bakery is run by the same two people day in and day out, Rob and Anna. They can come off a bit standoffish at first but nothing could be further from the truth. Rob spoke to all 4 people ahead of me and even knew some of them by name and things going on in their lives. On this visit I had a cup of Chicken Gumbo and a Turkey Sandwich. The Gumbo was full of sausage and veggies and had a nice flavour to it. The sandwiches however really are the star of the show here as Chuck pointed out. The bread was so fresh it was still warm. And the turkey piled about 3 inches thick. I opted to add cheddar cheese for the bargain price of $0.50 bringing the price to $6 for the soup and sandwich. An unbelievable bargain! Not only would I recommend Riley's bakery but would consider it a necessary stop if you visit Cornwall. You won't be disappointed.

I love sandwiches, when I've heard of this place I was excited and couldn't wait to go, but I had…read morehuge expectations. I'm a fan of Di Rienzo in Ottawa and so I knew I would be hard to satisfy. This place is tha bomb! The bread is so good, a little touch of sweet in it, the owner is funny and diligent. Great dessert as well! If they were open at night I would be there twice a week!

Anastasia's Bakery is a hidden gem, nestled into the countryside a mere 10 miles from Potsdam. Not…read moreonly are the coffee and espresso drinks wonderful, but her desserts and pastries are truly exquisite. I have the privilege of knowing Anastasia personally, and I can say without hesitation that her baked goods are the best I've ever had... It's no wonder she graduated at the top of her class from Paul Smiths College. Especially noteworthy are the lemon pound cake, fruit tartlets, and cinnamon buns. She is also an insanely talented cake decorator and pulls out all the stops to make sure her customers are happy. While her bakery will be temporary closed while she is starting her family, I have no doubt her business will continue to thrive when she returns.

Nice little bakery in Orleans. I stopped in with my mom and we bought some baked goods, and they…read morewere pretty good. We got a croissant and a pecan butter tart. Then we noticed their "baked yesterday" section. They had 2 chocolate almond croissants wrapped in a bag for $1. Hello? $0.50 for a chocolate almond croissant? I'm in! They looked and felt fresh to me, not all dry and stale. They don't have prices on all their items, so I'm not sure how much everything else cost individually, but the total with taxes was a little over $5 for everything. Staff were really nice, when one of the ladies saw me putting the butter tart into one of the paper bags they had out, she asked me if I wanted a box. The place also looked very clean. The plain croissant was pretty good. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pecan butter tart filling was soft and gooey. The crust was ok, but I'm not usually a fan of pie crust. The chocolate almond croissants did not taste day-old to me at all. It was still crispy on the outside (despite being in a plastic bag) and flaky. The inside was full of almond paste and there were chocolate spots throughout. Such a deal for $0.50! My mom loves pastries, so I'm glad to find a place not too far from my parents' place. I might have to stop here occasionally to pick up some treats before coming over. Everyone loves guests bearing gifts, lol. The bakery has no signage on the actual building (at least not at the time of the writing of this review), the sign is in the parking lot. Look for that sign!

I recently ordered a cake and the flavour of the icing was horrendous. No flavour…read more After many attempts (four) to contact the manager she finally called me back. The manger indicated she'd look into the batch of icing, taste test it. After a week I still hadn't heard from her so I tried to follow up. Three calls (the staff kept telling me she'd be in later and they'd have her call me, almost scripted), two emails and a social media message she finally called me back. She said she was out of town (but each time I called her staff said she'd be in later). She said the batch of icing was all gone. It had been used on other cakes and that she wasn't able to test it. She asked me what I was looking for, what would make me happy (ummm to have the icing taste tested). She offered a cake or a fair refund. We settled on half my money back. While I appreciate the money back I don't appreciate having to make so many calls, two emails and a social media outreach for a resolution.

Stopped at this quaint little french bakery on the way back home from a cottage weekend. I write…read morethis review with both fond and bittersweet memories. Let's start with the good. You walk into this unsuspecting bakery that is on the side of the road across from a chip stand and a sort of dépaneur style restaurant. It really does not look like much, the outside looks bland, nothing really special, to be honest. My fiancé and I stopped in and we're looking at the various sorts of sweet cinnamon and sticky style buns that they had. We got a couple and we're off on our way home to Ottawa. Now- the bad. We got home, prepared some evening tea to have with out treat, only to realize with our first bite that we should have gotten more, as in, much, much more. How could we be so silly, we said to ourselves! But what could we do, we were already home and almost two hours away from this wonderful little bakery. For all of you who stop here- buy or eat as much as you can, for it will be one of those life regrets that shall haunt you for the rest of your days.... Or at least until you return. - The end
