Bread & Sons

I work across the street from your bakery and I have to say that I am a HUGE fan. Your baked goods are always fresh and delicious. I particularly love the spinach and feta spiral with sesame on top...oh so good! The only feedback I would like to give you from a customer standpoint is that your store front really should stand out more. I had no idea that there was a bakery there if it was not for my co-workers raving about you. I had a hard time finding the name of your store on the sign outside. Either way, I am so happy to have found you!

O. M. G. ... Google, please increase your star rating options because Bread and Sons has just blown me away, and 5 stars just isn't enough. We had the tempeh and gauda sandwiches, a garlicy slice of pizza with jalapeno (do not overlook the pizza here), two pastries (an almond-ey, custurd-ey, blueberry croissant and this expresso cream filled pain au chocolat type deal topped with copious amounts of nutty goodness), and lattes of course. I wish I remembered the names and all the ingredients, but what I will never forget is the insanity of all this. So, so, so, so, so tasty (to the power of infinity). Flavours = bursting; freshness = *chefs kiss*; texture = soft and crispy in all the right ways. I could write more but first let me have the best nap of my life courtesy of some of the best sandwiches, pastry and pizza I've ever had. Y'all are special, and I can't believe I live two blocks away and waited so long to enjoy your transcendent deliciousness. Can't wait to be back - thank you for all that you do!!!

cookie was great, probably one of the best ive ever had. the bread, which was labelled "sourdough", is not sourdough, in my opinion. sourdough should have an open crumb, blistered crust and should have a tangy taste. the bread i got from here was made in a mould or in a tin, and the bread itself was dense and flavourless. disappointing for a $5 loaf. i'd come back for a pastry, but avoid the bread here; you can get much better loaves at other places in the city EDIT: i'm adding a star for the exceptional reply from the bakery. this is outstanding customer service; explaining their breadmaking process, but still respecting my opinion about their bread, and most importantly, standing behind their product and being proud of it. many establishments would brush you off. i have a huge amount of respect for them.

Absolutely divine! Delicious vegetarian options, including pizza, sandwiches, and baked goods. Items are warmed up and grilled upon request. Very tasty selection! Quaint seating area as well. Busy over breakfast and lunch but the line moves quickly. I would highly recommend a visit. This is the best bakery I have found so far in Ottawa.

Stopped in for some pizza slices (great veggie options) which were delicious. It was the end of the day so there wasn't much selection left, but I wish I had tried one of their baked goods. Small space with only two small tables at the window and a bar along the side. Would love to see them expand and make it more of a relaxed sit down atmosphere. Will definitely be back!
