    That's such a pretty basket!! I'm very pleased, and I'm sure she'll have lots of fun sampling the great mix of delights. Thank you Anne Sue

    I like the fact that all the products sold in this store are made in Canada. My girlfriend purchased some tea that she absolutely loves and I purchased some nice cider. The lady that runs this store is very nice as well. We probably spent as much time just chatting with her as we did looking around. A refreshing change compared to most businesses these days.

    I visited here October 8, 2022. Before visiting Canada, I saw a list of foods one should definitely try, and one item was Saskatoon Prairie Berries. I thought I would not find it in Ottawa, and so was thrilled when the owner said yes, she did have this. I also bought Canada True brand Maple Cream Cookies, and Turkey Hill Maple Green Tea, and now back home I notice the price I paid for these two is the same as the best online retail price so that is nice, and was quite reasonable in any case. In all a wonderful store with a great selection of Canada products.

    This is a lovely little shop with all kinds of products made in Canada. We were in Ottawa for a short visit and came across this shop on Google map selling Canadian products. The products are arranged by provinces. There are handmade maple leaves coasters which are our favourite. They are made of glass with real maple leaves fused inside the glass. It definitely feels like you are bringing a part of Ottawa home. There are also beautiful jewelleries and other more common souvenirs such as keychains, magnets, etc. Definitely lots to look at inside a little shop that is conveniently located at Byward Market. The shopkeeper, Anne (hope I remembered your name correctly) was super helpful and kind. She provided lots of tips in picking what I bought to bring home. Thank you. Will definitely come back next time we are in Ottawa again.

    I found Canada in a Basket to be very professional & helpful, I live in Australia I emailed and Maxine was quick to reply and helped to make my choice and delivery all happen ASAP to my son and his beautiful family who have just moved to Ottawa I would happily use them again . Thank you for making my experience with you trouble free.

    Very friendly, we wanted a bunch of items as wedding favours and she ordered them for us. Much better than we were expecting from a tourist store! The quality of the merchandise is quite good and I recommend it for your touristic needs!

    (Translated by Google) It is a store that sells Canadian souvenirs at Byward Market. We have a wide variety of processed foods, mainly processed maple products and smoked seafood. On the other hand, there are few handicrafts. (Original) バイワードマーケットにあるカナダ産の土産品を扱っている店です。メイプルの加工製品や水産物の燻製などの保存性の高い食品が中心で、種類が豊富に揃っています。一方、手工芸品などは数が少なめです。

    Excellent service during a VERY DIFFICULT time in Ottawa. Due to the besieging of downtown Ottawa, I had to change the deliver address twice, and the basket came exactly on time for the birthday. Thanks, Canada in a basket!

Only one child managed to get a book. I didnt find much for myself so left empty-handed. My husband went the week before Christmas and...

🫤 Although I have been a satisfied customer for the last 40 years, I am always surprised to see that the store interior is dirty, from the stained floor tiles to the accumulated dust on shelves and about the cash registers and some of the computer terminals. The walls, both inside and outside have no...

👍👍 I had a problem with the chocolates my husband gave me for Christmas - he bought the wrong box. The box could not be exchanged so the manager helped me pick out some of the chocolates that were in the box I wanted, and very kindly, did not charge me. I have been there many times and have also done...
