I visited BB Cafe and Bakery during my trip to Ottawa and absolutely loved it! I’ve lived on both the East and West Coast of Canada and always enjoy checking out new bakeries, especially in Vancouver, where the bakery scene is pretty amazing. But honestly, the croissant I had here was the best I’ve had in Canada. Even better than the ones I’ve tried at fancy French bakeries in Vancouver. Their roulettes were incredible, flaky and just sweet enough. The Danish were so fresh and tasty. Everything I tried was delicious and clearly made with care. The cafe has such a warm, cozy vibe, and the decor is beautiful and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax with a coffee and treat. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Ottawa, this place is a hidden gem!

This place is one of the best hidden gems I've ever been to! I just went here with my partner and an old friend, none of us had ever been before and decided to give it a try. We were all blown away!! The food was absolutely incredible. We had they're smoothies, lattes, croissants and various pastries. Everything was delicious and probably the best pasties I've had in years!! We highly recommend for all our family and friends!!

My wife and I happened onto this great coffee house and bakery while on some errands. A very lovely couple told us they’ve been open for 3 weeks. The coffee was delicious and the vibe and conversation about travels though Italy mare me want to hop on a plane. Everything is baked in house! We will make a point of telling our friends about this lovely spot.

This trendy new café offers an excellent selection of teas and coffees. The cozy and inviting setup within a strip mall makes it a great spot for an intimate and unique experience. The desserts and pastries are visually appealing and delicious, though a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, it’s a must-visit for those seeking something special in the area.

First of all, our server should not have been left alone. It looked like she was fairly new. There was a sudden rush of 8 - 10 people behind us. She did her best but was obviously overwhelmed. This is definitely not her fault. We had a caramel latte, a London Fog, and a chocolate and vanilla roll cake. The roll cakes were great! They were not overly sweet, which was good! It reminded me of sweets not made in North America. We tried our drinks before we had the rolls. The caramel latte had very little caramel. It could have used just a bit more. The London Fog also lacked sweetness and vanilla.
