I was excited to try this shop but both my friend and I were pretty disappointed.
We each got a dessert and Belgian hot chocolates.
While the hot chocolates were tasty, the rests were below average for us. We both couldn’t finish the cakes.
The birthday cake icing, the whipped cream on hot chocolate, and the mousse covered ganache tasted a bit cheap quality. They weren’t deep and rich in their taste and quality, but left a cheap taste on tongue.
The staffs were friendly.

A nice Italian gelato and pastry shop with a wide variety of items. All of the items we had were good, nothing being amazing or terrible.
Order:
Baba Cream ($6.45 each) x1
- Fried donut, soaked in sugary syrup filled with pastry cream
- Overly sweet
One Scoop Kinder Bueno Gelato ($6.95 each) x1
- Sweet chocolate gelato with ground up bits of a Kinder Bueno bar in it
- Prominently a chocolate gelato
- The Kinder Bueno did not really come through
Medium Cappuccino ($6.25 each) x1
- Clean tasting coffee with a slight burnt finish
- Not very acidic
- Standard foam, no latte art
- Fairly expensive for a cappuccino
Florentine Cookie ($3.95 each) x1
- Average Florentine cookie
- Would have been better if it was freshly baked, since it would be chewier
- Caramel felt a bit thick
Smartie Chocolate Bar ($8.25 each) x1
- Great quality milk chocolate
- Was a bit on the sweet end
- The Smarties gave the bar added texture
Red Velvet Brigadeiros ($2.45 each) x1
- Tasted like a red velvet cake pop
- Very moist
Nutella Brigadeiros ($2.45 each) x1
- Tasted like a very rich chocolate cake pop
- Slight nuttiness
- Very moist
Atmosphere and Site:
- A few indoor and outdoor tables
- Cozy interior
Service:
- The baked goods came out quickly
- The gelato and cappuccino came out separately a minute or so after we got the baked goods

A proper Italian dessert shop with coffees, pastries, cakes, gelato, and drinks, as well as some lunch fare. Clearly popular with locals and the euro set. A good patio though indoor seating was limited. They served me a macchiato to-go the right way, in a kiddie cup!

Place is nice and cozy. There is a huge variety of chocolates, pastries, and cake. They are delicious, not the best though. The employees are very kind and helpful. Prices are a bit on the higher side.

This is the 2nd time we've gone here. Tasty icecream and desserts. Italian cakes and cookies, etc. Lots of icecream flavors to choose from. If your craving something sweet, this is the place to be. Nice outside area to sit and enjoy a coffee and dessert.

The strawberry truffles and cannolis are the best I’ve ever had. Absolutely a must visit for anyone visiting outside of Ottawa.

Not the best experience. I got this alcohol pastry with a type of yellow icing filling with a candied cherry I think on top. While the pastry was good, I lost my appetite when I found it had 6 little eyelashes inside and around the pastry surface... I think someone's false eyelashes may have fallen into the icing or batter.
I came around an hour before closing and the service when I visited wasn't very welcoming or friendly. Overall, not the best experience and hope they can improve the quality checking to ensure there's no contaminants in their pastry.

I remember going there when i was younger with my father and the family. Its been there a long time. The best gelato and super service and its always busy. You must go there to enjoy the mouthwatering treats and the superb environment. Although the top stair to the bathroom is higher then the rest and has quite the edge on it, my 6 year old fell down and gashed his shin, but he was tough and grinned it out. Poor little guy. Definately going back soon though...���

When I was single I used to go by myself. Then I married and my wife and I enjoy it. My 2 daughters then came along and eat there from time to time. Years later my son in laws joined us for delicious desserts. Now I bring my grandchildren as well. I enjoy my espresso and my wife her fruit tarts. The rest of the family are happy evrytime we bring them. It is a family cave. Lol.
