I love this bakery. It started as a one-man gig in 2013. The founder, Will Spencer, has a PhD in…read moreMicrobiology and Epidemiology (!) I have a soft spot for those in academia who leave for other pursuits ;) For some reason I know that rND stands for rue Notre Dame, but I forget the significance of this street to the bakery. Their location in Smiths Falls is not a retail store, but they do sell online and you can arrange for pick up at the location. They also deliver, and their products can be found at several health food stores such as Natural Food Pantry and Kardish. This bakery makes the best gluten-free bread and bagels in my opinion, but be advised that they do not taste like regular bread or bagels. They do not contain yeast and are very dense and textured. My husband calls it "twiggy hippie bread" implying that it tastes like it's made of twigs and is consumed by tree-hugging hippies. I do not disagree with his assessment, lol. It's not smooth Wonder Bread. It has texture and is chock-full of fibre. I love it for this very reason. I love their classic oat bagels. They are very versatile and can be used for both savoury and sweet meals. Their tomato and basil bagels and curry and onion buns are excellent for savoury sandwiches. Their cinnamon raisin bagels or bread loaves are excellent for a sweet snack. Their items are pricey. Bagels and buns are $7.50-8.50 for packs of 4 and loaves are $9-$10 each. Health Food stores may mark the items up further. Although, I sometimes get them on discount at the health food stores when they are nearing their best before date. They freeze well though, so I just pop them in the freezer. If you like breads that are dense, full of texture and high in fibre, I would definitely recommend rND products. I love them!!

This is one of my favourite "local" bakeries (it's about 20 minutes from home). They offer a…read morevariety of baked goods, which are very tasty; we especially enjoy their sourdough bread at about $6.60 a loaf - since I have not yet got the hang of baking this myself at home. One day... They have a few tables inside, but most of their business is take out. They offer coffee as well, and large bags of flour. We picked up Rye flour, as I do make rye bread in our bread machine. It's a real treat to go here, and we are in about every 2 weeks give or take. For this reason, I'm sorry Dawn had a bad experience there! I'll have to see if we can arrange to meet her there one day.

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.

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 have waited to try this gem out for a long time and we finally made it out to Richmond on Sunday…read more The Richmond Village Bakeshop is only open Thursday to Sunday as they use the other days to buy ingredients and prep for the most delightful experience you're going to have. First off, the cafe / bakery is located in the quaint and cosy town of Richmond in Ottawa inside a historic hospital that has been converted to the bakeshop and owners home. As you enter, you're greeted by the most kind staff who make you feel welcome right away (bonus is that they are very kid friendly as well) We ordered the brunch special which was a raisin French toast, home fried, bacon and sausage along with tea and a butter tart. While the food here shares names with things you think you may see elsewhere, there is no comparison. It's next level. They baked the bread for the French toast in house and everything is meticulously prepared with real attention to detail. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed while the food quality is that of a fancy restaurant. On the way out, the owner gave out son a baked apple fritter that was so delicious. I give this place 5 solid stars for service, food and atmosphere! My only regret is not taking more photos - I will try to get some on my next visit which I assure you, there will be plenty of. Side note: we got a loaf of cheese bread on the way out and it was soooooooo good!
