A great spot for lunch on Bank St! They offer sandwiches, pizza, paninis, cookies and other baked goods. I got the Gouda sandwich - tastes amazing grilled! The focaccia bread is crunchy and the ingredients go so well together. Arugula, peppers, capers, roasted onions, potatoes, dill ranch and Gouda. Very filling for $12!

This is the stuff dreams are made of. No kidding. The breakfast sandwich is life-changing stuff. I went there yesterday, told them I wasn't local and asked for recommendations. They recommended me the breakfast sandwich and the almond croissant, both delicious. I loved this place so much I dropped by again hours later and got a pizza (OMG, their pizza!) and a chocolate cookie. Can't stress this enough, do yourselves a favor and drop by.

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.

A little whole in the wall, a true gem located on Bank Street that offers so much deliciousness. The sourdough and multigrain breads are delightful and the pizzas sold by the slice are delicious.

I could eat one of their almond custard croissants everyday and be perfectly happy! A really great bakery with a wide selection of goods (and delicious coffee too!). The pizza was a big surprise - the roasted tomato and garlic was so incredible, it had us wanting more. A must visit place in Centretown!

HIDDEN GEM. This spot has been a staple on Bank since 2005. And now I know why. Everything was delicious. From the sandwiches to the pizza to the amazing treats. My mouth is watering just thinking about all the goodness. This is a must try. Favorites from here was the pizza and the sandwiches.

I tried this bakery while on a visit to Ottawa. I got a sourdough loaf, a spinach and feta roll and an almond croissant. Both pastries were still warm when I got them and they were quite tasty. The loaf was soft on the inside and kept well for the next 3 days.

I finally got to try Bread&Sons! I enjoyed all the pastries I got. Hand pie, and chocolate hazelnut cookie were my favorite. The almond custard croissant and the quiche were nice as well. I would visit again!

Amazing! Some of the best croissants I had in a while! All the pastries were light and delicious, super fresh. Little store with lots of options for a very reasonable price. Would love to be back for those perfect hazelnut and almonds croissants!

I had almond croissant and Americano, which were both good but nothing extraordinary. Place was untidy-all tables were full of bread crumbs left from previous guests, and nobody seemed to be cleaning tables. Everything is served in papercups and boxes.

Signage was small and easy to miss so definitely keep an eye out this is not a place you want to walk by. Both croissants were excellent! The almond custard with blueberries was a unique and welcomed twist to a traditional almond croissant. The babka was soft buttery and had a strong chocolate flavor. There wasn't an option on display that we didn't want to try!

Hidden gem bakery in Ottawa. Recommend to visit in the morning, since their menu sold out fast. My favorite bakery in this cafe is 'Blueberry Croissant'. But couldn't have last three visits since it was all sold out. I went around noon. I will definitely try next week again to get the one lol In the morning, 'Breakfast croissant & Blueberry croissant' are my go to, and highly recommend. Around noon, You can find pizza and different bakery menu.

Excellent pastries made with love! Really enjoyed my poached egg and havarti croissant sandwich, and the hazelnut espresso custard croissant.

This spot has become my favourite bakery in area, and is a great spot to visit to start a perfect Saturday morning! Excellent sandwiches (the Gouda one is my fav!), but my recommendation has got to be the spinach and feta spiral! The sesame seeds on top are the perfect addition to a classic combination. So yummy and flakey, ask for it to be warmed up too!

Ideal place for brunch. I loved everything I had from here . It’s a cozy place to sit and talk. The pastries were good. I also loved the way the walls of cafe is decorated.

If I could put 10 stars I would. Staff is as courteous as the food is delicious. As a meat lover I still enjoy all their creations even if this is a vegetarian place. Pastries, sandwiches, coffee, good vibes… everything is just perfect. Quality/price/size ratio is excellent. One of the best bakery in Ottawa.

This place is amazing ! Really easy to miss if you pass by on the street. Small storefront and minimal signage. The chocolate chip cookies (very large) were some of the best I've tasted. Ooey gooey, melt in your mouth type of cookie. The different pizza options are very tasty. The olive pizza is a must-try.

I've come here twice now, it's typically hard for me to make it here when they're open due to the limited hours. Their bread is pretty good. I find their selection is not as good as other local bakeries, especially for types of bread for a store called bread & sons. I also came on a Saturday to get bread and was told on Saturdays they only sell day old bread, which wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. Overall the bread is okay but I've preferred other local bakeries, and their selection feels limited. Definitely better than you're going to get at a super market so worth it if that's the alternative.

I have tried their pizza, broccoli cheddar quiche, peach/pistachio pie, feta pastry and spinach/cheese pastry. Absolutely everything I tried was amazing. I was lucky to get their pastries fresh out of the oven. Steaming hot and sinfully delicious. Can't recommend this place enough for your next breakfast, lunch and sweets.

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.

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!!!

Love it. I'm so sad that they close around 3pm now. I love their pizza, sandwiches, and baked goods. But I especially love the customer service. The girls who work the counter have always been lovely and kind. Thank you to everyone on the team 🙂

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!

The baked goods are amazing, and so are the lattes. And the price is still very good. I recommend everyone try their chocolate chip cookies.

100% hands down best lunch bakery and pizza downtown. The focaccia pizzas are incredibly scrumptious and the hazelnut chocolate cookie is the best cookie in town. The pizzas and croissants are to die for and we almost always get the spinach spiral and the feta sesame square in our religiously weekly order :) Love this place!!

Definitely amazing food! We had Pizza and Tempeh sandwich for breakfast just delicious! Best ever! People at the store are very nice as well.

Excellent food and super friendly staff! I'm a vegatarian and they always have the yummiest lunches! Only downside is they close early (I think 2pm) so get there by lunchtime or you'll miss out!

Consistency is their game. Amazing baked goods, the best chocolate chip cookie in the city, a breakfast sandwich to die for and the most amazing pizza options. One thing that could use a little help is their coffee game but otherwise a must try!

Always excellent food, always excellent service. Get a loaf of their bread, put your favourite source of fat (butter, olive oil sauce, whatever) and just enjoy it. Pick any slice of pizza. Pick any sandwich. Bloody good. Fantastic vegetarian options.
