Amazing, underrated little bakery. People should come here more often! It's run by a lovely Chinese couple. Their selection of baked goods is amazing. MUST try the egg tart and the lemon meringue tart - it's topped with marshmallows and just melts in your mouth.
Sweet. Great oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies.
Great food, just like a bakery back in Japan. The matcha cookies are awesome, as are the danish and baguette offerings.
Go for a Skor square or almond cookie. Super hard working couple runs this bakery. Always worth supporting their business by chowing down on a sweet treat.
Delicious snacks at great prices. I often stop at Brown Loaf on the way to work in the morning, and grab a sweet or savoury snack for the day. Their prices are competitive compared to other bakeries and their products taste wonderful.
My favourite bakery! I go about twice a week for bread, croissants and cinnamon swirls. Run by hardworking & friendly husband & wife, very passionate about their work. Always happy to see them open at such early and late hours, though sometimes I honestly wish they would close a little earlier & get some well-deserved rest!
I've been wanting to try Brown Loaf for a long time - I finally did yesterday, and I can honestly say that this is the best baguette I've had in Ottawa (and I think that I have high standards for bread!). The owner was also extremely kind. Highly recommend!
What a beautiful professionally made croissant! Of course it's crispy outside, soft and buttery aromatic inside! Always perfectly shaped and, no mess after bites and bites and bites. I experience is the crispier the croissant is, the messier it is while biting it or even just holding it since the outside layer always comes off so easy. Half the croissant would fell off already before finishing it. I give it 6 stars for its perfection!
Very professional and courteous service. In business for over 20 years and there's a good reason why. Walking into this Bakery, the first thing I noticed was that it smelled so delicious. Just like a traditional Bakery from my childhood. Highly recommended quick visit to this gem! There is so much to chooses from and prices are reasonable. #localguide
It's the most affordable and delicious bakery in the area! I go about twice a week, usually for their fresh croissants in the morning and then a post-work treat in the afternoons. I've been working my way to try everything in the bakery. Favourite: plain croissant, perfect feuilleté layers and SUCH A GREAT PRICE! Pleasant surprise: The cinnamon roll has a cinnamon caramel coated between the layers, that is perfect consistency and not too sweet. Won't find anywhere else: French Basque cheesecake. It's the perfect balanced cheesecake! EVERYTHING IS HANDMADE AND FRESH!!!
The BEST bakery in Ottawa. Me and my girlfriend have our morning ritual to grab fresh bread every Saturday. The baker is very friendly and his 🍞 even delicious. Highly recommended.
I love croissants and scones here.
Generally everything I got from here was good
I will visit often
Price is very affordable and owner is super friendly :)
It smells awesome inside and the old asian guy(maybe the owner?) is sooo lovely! He is all smiles and jokes, he made my day. I am going to bring these pastries home but I am dying to try!!
Charming bakery with fresh breads, cookies, and other baked goods. The owner and staff are wonderful, friendly people. You can have your fresh bread freshly sliced right there as well!
Family owned bakery, Brown Loaf is in the heart of Elgin. The customer service I received was great and the man working there welcomed me with a big smile.
Their croissants 🥐 were delicious and fresh! I have had their pastries before and must say they bake it with love. SO DELICIOUS.
I've coming to Brown Loaf bakery for the past three years and have only positive things to say: excellent pastries (the hazelnut and almond butter cookies are a must) kind owners and staff, and great walkable location. Highly recommend!
A great family-run local bakery with a variety of tasty treats! My favourites are the Nanaimo bars and Oreo cupcakes. :)
I've tried croissants at over 10 bakeries in Ottawa/Gatineau, and this was my favorite so far. Definitely recommend visiting to pick up one.
Minus one point for the cinnamon roll. I thought it was good, but nowhere near as delicious as the croissant.
Cutest bakery ever! The shop owner is so wholesome, greets you with the biggest smile and is clearly so invested in his products and love what he does :) The matcha cookies are absolutely delightful and fluffy, a must try! Love this bakery and there’s a great variety of pastries and breads.
I probably spend $40 a month on croissants here. Amazing croissants and a very nice man
best bakery ive been to in ottawa. the people who work there are the sweetest ever, always super nice. i go there all the time, no negative reviews
Very nice! I stopped by today for the first time to try the bread, having heard about them many times from people. Bought a loaf of french bread and it was delicious! Very reasonable price as well, and the owner is very friendly and courteous. They have a collection of other baked goods as well. Nice to find local independent bakeries thriving!
Best bakery in Ottawa! Everything is so delicious but the croissants are the best I have ever had. Can’t miss this place!
