Amazing bread, great prices, friendly staff. Only good things to say about this bakery! Best bread we’ve found in the Ottawa area. We moved from Montreal 2 years ago and this place can rival any high end bakery in Montreal!

Terrible service from staff, stale hard bread…

*Sliced bread never offered/available at the bakery that day/ Staff indifferent and unprofessional/ Management response false and misleading… hence the review.

Purchased a loaf of bread and shortly after leaving I realized it was hard as a rock and desperately needed to be sliced. As the bread didn’t seem very fresh I immediately returned several minutes later only to be told that the slicer doesn’t work, and that too bad too sad I can’t exchange it for something softer. I left the stale bread behind, will never go back due to lack of the service and quality.

*Sliced bread was never offered/available at the bakery that day….hence the review.

This bakery is truly the best. I love Miche bread, but there is one catch, it always has a burnt crust. I love crisp crust, but I have to cut it off because it’s burnt. Why ???

Favorite bakery in town! The sourdough is amazing – miche and seed bread take the win for me. Their buns – especially the cocoa chili one is also delicious and pairs well with some nut butter. I also love the oat coconut cookie – nice balance between crispy and soft.

Incredible quality sourdough bread, if you can get it.
Their hours are limited, so I called multiple times before going (over an hour before close), but they do not answer. I biked all the way there to be told that every bread that I wanted was sold out.
I ended up having to go to another business to purchase True Loaf bread at a marked up price due to them not having their own breads. And on top of that, the bread I was able to find was not the type I was looking to purchase either, but it is still very good.

EDIT: I emailed in advance to reserve bread cor pick up and was able to get the types of bread I wanted. Everything is amazing quality as usual!
