    wow!!! best bagel of my life NO CONTEST. i got an incredible breakfast sandwich with butter & a sesame seed bagel, small coffee, & a flaky pastry roll for the road. prices are the same as a fast food restaurant but with FAR superior quality as far as i can tell. lots of options for take-away & drinks to go. I had a cozy spot to eat right after opening, enjoyed it so much, great atmosphere with friendly people. the roll smells & tastes lovely after a little heating. i plan to never go to a fast food place if i can go here instead. support these places, they deserve to thrive!

    Wow. That about sums this place up. My colleagues took me for lunch here the other day and I got the club sandwich, it was fresh and very delicious. I usually leave home in a rush and don't always have time to make breakfast so I have been looking for a local place that makes fresh food, that is open early. After discovering this place and having the amazing club sandwich, I decided to try the breakfast. I ordered the BK wrap, which comes with a small coffee for only $6.77 after tax !? Needles to say, It was amazing. The coffee was fresh and the wrap even fresher. The beyond reasonable price and the friendly staff was just the cherry on top. If you work in the downtown core, and are looking for some homemade food, I highly recommend Cafe Deluxe. As a wonderful bonus, this Cafe is locally owned! Try it. You will NOT be disappointed.

    Nice cafe and sandwich shop. Friendly staff. Amazing cookies. The salad was a bit disappointing but overall a nice place to grab a quick lunch.

    The service is 5 stars alone! I highly recommend the chocolate chip cookies and lattés. We took home a chicken pot pie as well, it was so good - we will be back to stock up on more of them.

    The food is very tasty and the service is friendly. Janet, the owner, makes sure that every customer leaves satisfied. The souos are especially good; last time, I had the Tomato Bisque and it was delicious, rich and creamy. There is indoor seating, as well as a large outdoor patio for good weather.

    Wowowowow! Amazing place! The lady working the counter was so sweeet and welcomed me for my first time there. She helped me pick my lunch and provided me with all my options. I’ll definitely be back everyday that I’m in office for their hot specials and sandwiches. Sooo delicious and friendly service. Thanks!

    Great place to have lunch. Great amount of food for the standard downtown lunch price of around 9-12 $. Staff is friendly and helpful. My workplace uses their catering often and it's always great.

    Cafe Deluxe was fantastic as always. The food is consistently good as are the cookies and banana bread. The people are wonderful and I love that Janet is always happy to take the time to chat with her customers!!

  • 5/5 Manon B. 5 years ago on Google
    Best homemade cookies in town! You can order hot meals, a variety of paninis, sandwhiches, salads and soup all made from scratch, and always served with a smile. Prices are reasonable.

  • 5/5 Darren W. 4 years ago on Google

    Cafe Deluxe catered our u14 Provincial ski race. They prepared 800 boxed lunches over 4 days. They were a pleasure to work with, very accommodating and the lunches received rave reviews by the 12/13 year old athletes, accompanying parents, volunteers and ski patrol!

  • 5/5 Elisa T. 1 year ago on Google
    I am obsessed with the cookies at this cafe. They are delightful and simply the best in Ottawa (and beyond)! The staff are super friendly and the establishment is very clean. The breakfast, lunch and dinner options also look delicious. I look forward to trying those soon. I highly recommend this cafe.

  • 5/5 Michelle M. 4 years ago on Google
    Super little cafe. Food is excellent and very well priced. Only open for breakfast and lunch....

  • 5/5 Diane O. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a godsend, they are a very kind hearted business who donates at least 1 meal a week to every guest at the Ronald McDonald house, delivered every Wednesday to RMH. As a guest I love looking forward to a nice home cooked hot meal , being away from home while our sick infant is in CHEO is just one extra thing not to worry about. Eating tends to be on the run, with mostly snacks as meals. This past week they kindly delivered Cajun chicken pasta and it was fantastic, everyone at the house was raving about how great it was and how much we all look forward to having a real meal once a week. Just want to say thank you to these wonderful people who graciously donate to this much needled organization 💕

    Alert to coffee shops and restaurants. If u want an example of good service and how to run a client centered business, have a visit. Amazing place. Simple ... no frills.... just right

    I came very late to breakfast but they customised a sandwich with no bacon for me. It’s so fresh and delicious ♥️

  • 5/5 Max Hoque K. 8 months ago on Google
    Friendly service, good sandwiches at better prices than nearby chains. Coffee is good, but daily specials aren't usually worth it.

  • 5/5 Brittany P. 3 years ago on Google
    I wish more people would recognize how amazing this hidden gem is! The quality of the food is outstanding & the portions are generous. The staff is incredibly professional & goes above & beyond to ensure your visit is memorable. I've worked with their team on various catering orders (corporate) & have had nothing but positive feedback from clients. I cannot recommend their cookies enough!!

  • 5/5 Dan M. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kamil T. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food! Had the Leek and Potato soup along with Ottawa's best cookies! The owner is extremely pleasant as well. Definitely will be coming back, found my new downtown work lunch spot- great food, reasonable price and minutes from the office.

    Excellent sandwiches and soups, great customer service!I'm a returning customer there. Thanks guys!

  • 5/5 Belle Eats O. 3 years ago on Google
    Sweet café downtown. Tasty food options and great customer service. Every time I have been here, despite the lunch rush, the staff would take their time to package the food/treats nicely. Food options are simple: sandwiches, pasta, soup, panini, muffins, cookies, brownies, etc. There isn't anything too fancy about this this place, but when you walk in, you're welcomed with warm servce.

  • 5/5 Andrea B. 3 years ago on Google
    Easy online ordering with lists of ingredients for each dish- I really appreciate this as it helped me avoid allergens. Home delivery too! Awesome option during COVID- take out that is like a home cooked meal!

  • 5/5 Jo-Ann Z. 3 years ago on Google
    The best cookies in Ottawa! The skor cookies and chocolate coconut cookies in particular are amazing!

  • 5/5 Eric B. 3 years ago on Google
    My wife ordered delivery today instead of our usual take out. The meals arrived frozen with cooking instructions on top. I was worried I would not like the Moroccan chicken as it has a sweeter smell but it was soooooo good- not sweet at all and very flavorful. Lots of chicken, carrots and chickpeas. It would also be good with cauliflower in it. We also ordered the green curry. Very tasty- I wish it was a bit spicier but I added sriracha and it was perfect. We will be ordering more of these to keep in our freezer as an alternative to take out. We also ordered some granola as it is an excellent price- tastes like honey and cinnamon- very very good and excellent value.

    Decent breakfast, but they got some of my order wrong

  • 5/5 Emma H. 4 years ago on Google
    i LOVE this place. I worked downtown for almost 10 years and I went there regularly the whole time. The staff are SO friendly, the food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. It feels like a home cooked meal among friends and family. And definitely get a cookie! :)

  • 5/5 Brian N. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best place around this part of downtown to get a quick bite to eat. Daily menus with multiple choices. Soups, paninis, salads, and hot meal options. The place is very clean and very well ran. Everything I've tasted was good to great. The food is fresh and the put the effort to make it look good and taste good. If you like cookies, they have an excellent selection. And this is a very affordable place.

  • 2/5 Jessica P. 4 years ago on Google
    They catered a lunch event I was at. There was chicken that was barely flavoured like rosemary and wasn't particularly well prepared, bland rice, some veggies, and salad. One of the platters had toppings that seemed to make it seem like this was a greek inspired meal, but there was no greek dressing to go with it, just balsamic or ranch. Overall, everything was fairly bland. Can't say I would recommend their catering services.

    Diverse choices

  • 5/5 Matthyw T. 4 years ago on Google
    Fresh, from scratch plates and sandwiches. Fantastic cookies. Gets crazy busy at lunch for good reason. They do a great catering service too, though the cookies alone can satisfy a crowd, they're that good.

  • 5/5 Kevin S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place for quick and tasty takeaway at lunch! Staff are friendly too.

  • 5/5 Tammy R. 4 years ago on Google
    I really like this café. The atmosphere is exactly what I look for in a café. You can read here and study (but with no outlets). They have Timothy's coffee which is yummy, and a comfortable seating area. I really like that they have coffee mugs and lactose-free cream, and little flowers on the tables. One of my favourite places to go in the morning to be alone and read with coffee.
