I ordered the Mealwitches salmon in zucchini cream sauce and also tried the tomato fennel soup. The meal was decent but the serving size was too small. I really enjoyed the scone- the pastry was really thick and crispy. I also tried the apple caramel scone, which was really yummy, but again, I wished the serving size was larger. The prices are very reasonable! Would recommend for a cute catchup! ☺️

Superrrrrrr awesomeeee brunch / breakfast - very innovative menu yet simplicity in their ingredients simply take your heart away. Must try their vanilla cream scone with Devon cream! My pick from here is goat cheese pesto sconewitch and chicken in white wine sauce mealwitch and not to forget the bumbleberry short cake! 💖

A simple bakery café offering tempting treats. I can't resist going in anytime I am in the area. I can honestly say I have never been disappointed by the food or the service, and that is rare these days. They have managed to carve a name for themselves in the Ottawa food scene and for good reason.

FOOD:
We had come here on a Wednesday morning at around 10:00 am for breakfast. I had settled on the EggWitch, which came with a Scone (I chose Peach Cobbler With Strawberry Jam), Scrambled Eggs With Ham And Cheese, and Fruit (mine had kiwi, blueberries, strawberries, and an orange slice on a bed of lettuce). My mother had chosen the EggWitch as well, with a Gluten-Free Scone (With Rhubarb-Ginger Jam), Scrambled Eggs With Ham, and Fruit (she had apple slices, blueberries, strawberries, and an orange slice on a bed of lettuce). We both shared a pot of Ginger Chai Rooibos Tea (although I had gotten it in a mug as the pot was only big enough for one person).

When I had first eaten the items from the dish, I was beyond amazed at how delicious everything tasted! The Peach Cobbler Scone was AMAZING, with only the freshest ingredients used, and the most delicious mixture of peach, making it taste beyond wonderful! When I had placed the Strawberry Jam on the Scone, it tasted a million times better; moist and appetizing, just the way I like it. The only thing I would have offered was for it to be warmed-up (if the customer wanted it to be), and to have some butter on the side. Beyond that though, it was a delicious scone! The Scrambled Eggs were also TO DIE FOR, very creamy, with just the perfect amount of fluffiness. I did find the availability of fruit on the dish to be very scarce, and the meal itself was very small considering the price that we had paid.

In terms of the Ginger Chai Rooibos Tea, we were given a pot at first, then, we noticed that it was leaking water. We then had to have another pot given to us, which we also noticed was leaking water, but not as much. Instead of my mother and I sharing a pot of tea, I was given a mug with a tea bag on its own as the pot was too small for the both of us to share. The tea was very delicious though, and it tasted as though the tea leaves were fresh. I thought all of the flavour went quite well together.

I was still hungry after finishing my meal therefore, I decided to try the Cream Cheese-Cucumber Sconewitch (With Cranberry Mango Chutney) on a Feta Scone. I really loved this Sconewitch; it had a thick layer of cream cheese, along with slices of cucumbers, lettuce, and the cranberry mango chutney on top of the cream cheese. Also, the scone itself was beyond amazing; it tasted as though it were made on the spot at that moment; very fresh and appetizing. I was very IMPRESSED with how amazing the food tasted; although it was pricey, I was able to tell it was made well.

ATMOSPHERE:
This cafe was situated inside of an office building on the main floor. We went through the office building in the front to get to the cafe, which was at the back. When we first arrived to the cafe, we noticed it was packed but there were still tables available. The cafe itself had a very relaxed feel to it, with many people reading their books or laptops at the tables while eating or drinking something. I loved the chalkboard with the menu written on it, and the various items that were being sold on the shelves. I did find that it was a bit too small, making it difficult to move in-between tables without bumping into someone or something.

SERVICE:
When we had placed our order, we were served by a kind younger woman behind the counter. She was very patient, and answered all of our questions, even though there was a line-up forming behind us. Also, the older gentleman that came to take away our leaky pot was very kind, along with the young woman that brought us our meals and took the empty dishes away. This cafe felt like a place that anyone could call home; it was very cozy, definitely a place I felt comfortable in.

COST:
2 EggWitch Meals (1 Peach Cobbler Scone With Strawberry Jam, Scrambled Eggs With Ham And Cheese, And Fruit + 1 Gluten-Free Scone With Rhubarb-Ginger Jam, Scrambled Eggs With Ham, And Fruit + 1 Pot Of Ginger Chai Rooibos Tea): $27.10 (Taxes Included) + 1 Cream Cheese-Cucumber Sconewitch: $7.90 (Taxes Included) = $35.00 (Total)

WOULD YOU RETURN?
Without a doubt! Although the prices were a bit high for what we had ordered, everything was top-notch, something that’s hard to find nowadays!

There's nothing that I don't like about this place. Amazing breakfast. I ordered the weekend breakfast topped with salmon with a cheddar scone and strawberry jam. Paired my order with a pot of loose leaf chai tea... was absolutely delicious. 2nd order was a bacon melt on a cheddar scone paired with their house party... it was perfect.

I was in Ottawa for JUNO weekend and I couldn’t resist opening Zomato and looking up places to eat nearby. One of the highest rated places was The Scone Witch, which specializes in sandwiches out of scones. It was breakfast time when we went so I had The Eggwitch and a cup of Witch’s Brew (coffee). The Eggwitch was a scone stuffed with eggs, ham and old cheddar cheese from St. Albert. We were allowed to choose what type of scone it was made out of and I picked feta. It was delicious. The pastry was light and fluffy with a nice touch of feta. The eggs had a nice creamy texture when combined with the cheese.

Was in Ottawa for the long weekend. We went here twice for breakfast. The first time we had the breakfast with eggs and salmon, a lemon and poppyseed scone and an orange and cranberry scone. We also had the homemade jam which was delicious. Second time we had the eggs with mushrooms and the cured ham. Both were delicious. The scones are exceptional. A nice place for breakfast.

This place is absolutely adorable! The savory scone sandwiches and the sweet scones are delicious. My friend and I both got a signature sconewitch on cheddar scones. I also got a box of vanilla cream scones which are to die for. The ambience is great and even though they are packed on the weekend the service was rather quick.

The scones are great and they don't cheap out at all on the sandwiches. The soup is horrible though (only had it twice but thin and tasteless both times) and the one salad dressing they have isn't very good. Still worth the trip for the scones

Delicious! This is a beautiful restaurant with natural light. The food is clever, simple but delicious. The serving staff were friendly and helpful to me when I made my selection, and I was told this was a very popular choice (BLT with pesto, on a herb and garlic Scone). My food came quickly, and was well presented and not thrown together. I would recommend it to anyone in Ottawa who likes food.

Easily the best start of my day. If you walked by the Starbucks on your way here, know you're going to a much better food and coffee stop for the same price. The service was great; really friendly and really efficient, serving about 7 people in five minutes.
I could eat these scones all day. BLT with Pesto was a great little bite and the iced coffee on a hot day was superb. Know though that the large latte is truly a large!

Walking through the doors the inviting smell of butter and baked goods fill the air. My husband and I both ordered the scone breakwich. I had the cheddar scone with egg and ham, while my husband enjoyed the same on a herb and onion scone. The scone was flakey and soft, the scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly, and the ham was a beautifully cooked homestyle pieces of ham (not shaved). The plate had a few greens and fruit, with a drizzle of a light sauce. Both ordered drip coffee (tasty), but a full array of beverages were available. Very delicious! I will return!

The perfect winter warm up can be found at Ottawa’s The Scone Witch at 150 Elgin St. If you think scones are only to be enjoyed plain with a cup of tea (I’ll admit I was one of those non-believers) , think again!! My life is forever changed by the scone! In fact, I will never look at en English muffin/bagel/muffin/biscuit the same!

The first thing that stoke me about this place was the energy. When you walk in you feel a great flow of energy that makes you want to be there, then the food makes you want to stay. People of all ages were having brunch there on Sunday morning: it was packed. The wait was long but so worth it. I've never had such light and tasty scones. I ended up buying a box of different scones and everyone at home loved them. Scone Witch is definitely a great spot.

Industrial style, airy feel coffee and scone shop. They have seasonal scones and jams that go alongside and if you eat there they deliver your order so you don't crowd the serving bar area. Always had helpful staff and it's a clean place. They have self serve water too.

Seriously delicious scones! Seats aren't the comfiest to stay longer than your completion of your treat so don't go here to catch up for the afternoon with a friend. I've been here 2-3 times and I'd come back as a nice alternative to Starbucks or other chain coffee shops.

Lovely place. An Ottawa staple for foodies so it was long overdue that we had a scone. We were very impressed.

It was a spur of the moment decision and since went close to closing time, they didn't have many scone choices ready. The counter attendant courteously offered us a gluten-free that was ready to go and we gave it a shot. Our BLT scone was delicious; the bread was flaky but not too crumbly, that it fell apart after the first bite. Our first intro to scones was a great one, and we can't wait to go back!

Before this place I wasn't into scones, but after this place that has changed! Scones are really moist and they go down well with tea. The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that they charged for butter packets. Was a little upset they didn't come with the scone hence a 3.5

A fantastic find.  This was a welcome change from our hotel breakfast.  I had the mediterranean vegetables with egg and the monthly special scone, pumpkin along with raspberry jam.  The fruit salad was fresh as was the egg dish.  The scone was rich, fresh and fluffy.  The staff were friendly and the the service quick.  Definitely worth the visit and I look forward to eating there next time we are in town.

Scone Witch is one of my favourite spots in Ottawa - so long as they don't run out of their soup and the seasonal scone. They offer a variety of meals and their brunch is a plate full of goodies. You definitely get a bang for your buck. However, on a few occasions they have sold me soup or a seasonal scone to only tell me they don't have any left. However, I continue to take everyone here and would definitely also recommend it to tea or coffee lovers.

Although the new location is a little odd/out of place for the Scone Witch, it's nice a spacious, and I can usually find myself a seat without much of a problem. I have never been disappointed with a meal; the scones are always fresh, the menu changes around, they offer small snack options and larger meals. The feta scones are a personal favorite of mine :)

Dissatisfied custs missing the point!. With a unique product, beautiful space and personable staff, SconeWitch's poor reviews are a result of arrogant customers who do not understand the premise of the Elgin/Gloucester location. Sconewitch is not a full service restaurant! Food is delivered to tables as a courtesy to customers. Once food has been delivered any service needs should be directed to the condiment stand. Sconewitch's kitchen is very small and so when in a large group, it is virtually impossible that all meals be delivered at once. Each member of a table ordering a different item will make this challenge greater. Sconewitch is also not a MacDonalds - Food is prepared to order and customers should expect to wait up to fifteen minutes for orders - longer if there is a rush. Asking for your food 'to go' has no impact on how long you will wait. If you appreciate the homecooked feel of Sconewich's food it is because it is prepared carefully and from scratch. Customers needing hands-on table service should stick to a restaurant. Customers wanting food fast should hit McDicks. I do not work there, but go regularly and am embarrassed for bourgeois, white collar patrons who feel they have the right to tell hard working people how to do their jobs.

The scones here are to die for and I would gladly buy them everyday. My only complaint is the new location, it's hard to find and lacks the comforting ambience of the original space. It feels more like a modern construction site then a place to go for tea and scones, very cold and less friendly. I still go but scones on a regular basis and will continue to do so but now I get them to go and don't linger in the new space.

Great scones!. First visit was at Albert location during lunch hour. That place was too small and busy, but as a group of 5 we were accommodated and got our scone sandwiches and soups promptly. The soup was okay but goat cheese-tomato-pesto scone sandwich was delicious!

Second visit at the new location, very clean and less crowded. Ordered 2 scones with jam and devon cream. Service was great, the man at the counter answered any questions my friend had, and made recommendations as well. They did not rush us out despite being near closing time.

Another time my friend ordered a dozen for a road trip. The scones are good and filling. Will definitely get more scones from Scone Witch!

Best breakfast option I've seen in town. They make high quality, artisan scones. Savoury scones, scones with egg and ham in them, sweet scones with fruit and berries. Scones! And they're excellent scones, you'll be surprised at how much you can enjoy something so simple. I recommend the savoury scone meals--turkey or ham with a cheddar-based scone. I'd also highly recommend their jams. They cost $0.99, which might seem surprising if you're used to crummy Kraft jam-type spreads that you see at most restaurants, but they're totally worth it. The jams are really fresh and well-balanced.

You might find the price a bit on the higher end (you're looking at probably $10 for a meal and portions are on the smaller side versus a lot of the enormous bacon-eggs-and-toast breakfasts that restaurants serve) but I think the quality of the food more than makes up for it.

BIG wait for good scones. I went to The Scone Witch for lunch a few weeks ago on a very hot day, after walking 10 blocks I was eagerly anticipating a scone sandwich. When I arrived, the restarant - which is cafeteria style - was packed and extremely hot. I also noticed that most customers did not look too happy. I walked to the back of the restaurant to order - the staff also looked miserable - I waited about 5 minutes for the staff to acknowledge me - but yes they were very busy. As I was about to order, a very pregnant woman walked up, she asked if her food was coming soon as she was starving and had waited over 15 minutes for a sandwich. At this point, I realized that I could not wait 15 minutes, so I ordered 3 types of scones: lemon poppyseed, vanilla cream, and cranberry orange. They were really good. Still want to try a sconewich, I'll just have to allot more time next time I decide to try it. And unless they invest in AC I'll definitely take my sconewich to go.

Fantastic little place for lunch!. I came here with friends for lunch. It's the type of place where you pay at the counter first, sit down, and they'll bring you the food.

When we placed our order the lady was a pretty short with us ("Are you guys together? ... I don't care if you're paying together, are you sitting together?") and the other servers aren't remarkably welcoming either. But that's the only con.

The food is AMAZING! I had the poached salmon and cucumber sconewitch - definitely the most delicious lunch I've ever bought. Very fresh, mouthwatering. oh my god. My friends had the cucumber cream cheese SW and the BLT SW, and they loved htem as well. The sconewitches aren't huge but they're pretty filling.

Our food came quickly, but we went on a wednesday at 1:30 and the place was practically empty. The place is very cozy and chic, perfect for a lunch out with friends. All the sconewitches (cream cheese cucumber, poached salmon, BLT, etc. in a scone) are the same price. With tip, my sconewitch and my drink from the fridge was $10.

Despite the cold service, I would absolutely come here again, for the delicious (and reasonably priced) food and the lovely place

edit: I've since gone back. The other servers/cooks were nice, the food came quickly although it was a busy day. the vanilla scone is very very good, the cranberry orange one is nice as well, and you can opt to have your dessert scones with any kind of jam. they also had ginger chai, and rooibos, and both were lovely!

Yummy scones & brunches, but.... Yummy scones, deliciously creamy scrambled eggs (try the one with Mediterranean veggies), superlative jams, but there are a couple of things that keep this from being a favourite of mine.
#1 - it's often difficult to get a table. When you do get one, because there are frequently other people standing waiting for a table, it's not the place to linger and chat. If you buy a second cup of coffee or tea, you do feel less guilty about taking up a table, but I've been at other popular small restaurants and coffee shops where I didn't feel as if I should eat and vacate the table ASAP.
#2 - the service at the counter service where you order your drinks and pay your bill is amateurish, slow and occasionally verging on rude.
#3 - the small sink at the same counter where glasses and cups are rinsed out doesn't look too appetizing - or too sanitary. Perhaps just my imagination...

Exellent. This place is a real gem! It is a tiny place, but the food is excellent. My absolute favourite scone is the Vanilla Cream Scone with Devon Cream.

Wonderful service. Friendly staff, and yummy treats. Decided to go for a ride and make a stop here for coffee, and I'm happy I made this decision. My dad also haves him thumbs up for the coffee and his experience. Will come back again to try the SconeWitches

Overall fine. Tried their sweet scones which were amazing. Lemon poppyseed and oatmeal scones are highly recommend! Had a poached salmon sconewitch and coffee for my second visit. The sconewitch is alright, ingredients were fresh yet nothing spots on. The coffee was so blank and just like iced water.😬

The scones are ridiculously good! So good we came back again. The scones are delicious too. I believe I got the orange cranberry. Both of the scone witches (BLT and Goat cheese) were amazing. I can't recommend this place enough.

Delicious, fresh scones. Worth a stop for quick breakfast. Enjoyed the salmon sandwich. Still closed for dine in, but there are a few tables outside.

Delicious scones! Highly recommend the orange cranberry scones. The sconewiches are quite filling and well presented. Bonus points for the compostable coffee cups! The earl grey latte was lovely :)

Delicious scones! Been coming here for years whenever I happen to be in the downtown area and they never disappoint. Makes your afternoon coffee/tea so much better!
