Great establishment and have a wide variety of pastries, bread, and pantry items to select from. Their croissants are great quality, only complaint is that in the Maple Almond Croissant I can barely taste the almond or maple, I saw the almond filling but I do enjoy a bit of almond extract in the filling.
Extremely disappointed since day one I have supported local business. Today I walked in the shop to buy bread as I am hosting a dinner for my Italian friends for Italian festival ( as I live downtown) I was denied service because I had no mask ? ? being Pride month this feeling being humiliated in front who were a few feet outside over herd . This left me very upset !Thank goodness I found a bakery down the street welcome me . Shame on you !
This is good bread. I tried the country sourdough. Unlike many other bakeries, they score their loaves crosswise rather than lengthwise, giving it a dramatic, flourishing appearance. The bread has a nice, dark crust. One thing to note is that while the crumb is very open, indicating a well fermented dough, it is still very substantial and full. The taste is all there; tangy, earthy, slightly bitter with a fleeting note of sweetness. It is exactly how you want bread to taste. The only (minor) drawback is that the crust is not all that crusty, and is rather flimsy as opposed to robust and crispy. I have not tried anything else here, but I would not hesitate to. The staff were very friendly and the price reflected the quality of the product.
Made a big order for Friday online, ordering half their bread selection. All to die for from sandwich bread to beautiful sour dough and much more! Simple and easy to use plate form online! Communication was excellent with pick up times! Everything was fresh and warm! Very well organized. Thank you so much for the fantastic bread!
Bread By Us is an excellent bakery in the heart of Hintonburg. Can't say enough about the quality of the pastries and breads....so many favourites to choose from including jam buns, scones and cookies. The breads are perfection and freeze beautifully so you can stock up. Appreciate the friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the strong felt sense of caring community this lovely gem of a business embodies.
Bread By Us is my favourite bakery in Ottawa. Their bread is the best — I love their multigrain bread, whole wheat bread, focaccia and baguettes. I'm very happy to hear that they will continue to require customers to wear masks — it's the right thing to do, to protect the health of everyone in our community. Local delivery service and store pickup are available; you can order from the bakery's website.
Would give 7 stars if I could. Thank you so much for keeping the art alive so to say and providing real, good bread.I hope there will always be bakeries like yours and humanity will never see the day when there’s nothing left but Costco and big chain grocery stores.
Oh my goodness... The pastries were DELICIOUS! (*chef kiss*). They were fresh and flakey and buttery!That blueberry danish was huge! And those blueberries were so fresh even though it was not blueberry season!The banana muffin was dense and MOIST (most important quality in a muffin). Not too sweet, so the banana flavour was very present.I highly recommend taking the jam bun! It's like a pastry roll filled with a fruity jam YUMMY.The cheese and almond/maple croissants didn't taste much in their flavours but they do respect their categories of sweet and savoury in comparison to the original butter croissant.
Every time I visit Bread By Us I have a great experience! The staff is just lovely and very helpful; and the breads, coffee, and pastries are all delicious (the jam buns being my personal fav)!
Small Hintonburg bakery with incredible baked goods. Very popular so do consider calling ahead for best selection. Small space to only two people allowed in at a time currently. Recommended!
