Being an Ottawa native, I’ve always wanted a business to bring a piece of the innovative dessert scene coming from Asia. First Bite Treats took inspiration to make the perfect addition to the Ottawa food scene.One of my friend’s introduced me to this spot after dinner and after finishing my first one, I purchased two more to bring home.The combination croissant/waffle is the perfect something of familiar with a twist that will make you coming back for more. The crunchy exterior and fluffy inside of the croffle pastry paired with the sweet and crunchy toppings adds a layer of complexity to this pastry.Photographed here is the strawberry + milk chocolate and Oreo + milk chocolate.
We had super delicious desserts here! Heat-pressed crispy croissants into delicious waffles, paired with sweet and sour fresh fruit and chocolate, it tastes really good! If you have a trip to this place, don't miss it!
What a deliciously innovative idea! Who would've thought combining croissant dough with a waffle iron would turn into such a mouthwatering creation?! I tried the strawberry and milk chocolate "croffle" and my partner ordered the blueberry with white chocolate. To say they were delicious is an understatement. The croissant dough gave this waffle fusion a pillowy texture that the chew was honestly delightful. They both tasted magnificent. My only suggestion would be to add a dark chocolate to their menu; something like a 70% would add another dimension to an already flawless flavour profile. I cannot say enough about the staff (owners?) of this quaint establishment. They were so unbelievably friendly, patient, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. You could tell that they really enjoyed their work and were truly pleased by our compliments. The interior of this small business is chicly decorated and has such a high class vibe yet still felt warm and inviting. My partner and I will certainly be returning to stuff our faces with these fantastic treats and will be bringing my in laws when they come for a visit this summer. I'm positive they'll find it a gourmand's dream!
Absolutely loved our experience here and fully worth all the 5 stars. The owner is extremely friendly guy and told us his story on how he started this place while making the delicious croffles. The decor of this place is also very vibrant as you can see from the pictures. He had a steady flow of customers come in and make great conversations with them. A lot of them seemed like repeat customers which is always a good sign! We tried the biscoff croffle and strawberry croffle. Both were delicious but we liked strawberry more. The strawberries were fresh and delicious. I think he mentioned that he switches up the menu. So I can't wait to see what'll be next when we visit Ottawa next. But definitely do visit this place in the heart of vibrant Byward market.Only suggestion is to use to paper plates instead of styrofoam.
Wonderful dessert experience, staff is friendly. My first time of trying croffle and the strawberry and white chocolate sauce are match.
Underrated! They just look like little waffles with some toppings but then you eat one and you want about 5 more. They are fresh and warm, the toppings are yum and the guy behind the counter was awesome. Biscoff for the win!
This is the best dessert shop in the city! The croffles are not only visually appealing, but extremely delicious and satisfying. In addition to such a wonderful delicacy, the service at this establishment is second to none. Everyone that works here creates such a warm and friendly environment that sets the bar for all small businesses. This is by far Ottawa's premier dessert location and everyone from, or traveling to Ottawa must do themselves a favour and try a croffle!
I have been wanting to try this place for so long! So glad we went today! Had a delicious croffle with strawberries and nutella. It was warm and crispy on the outside. Perfect treat on this Sunday afternoon! Definitely will be back!
The croffles were beautiful and delicious! Two things would have made the croffle perfect though. First, a dark chocolate option, to help balance the sweetness of the croffle. Second, fresh whip cream, the whip on the croffle tasted very similar to something like cool whip, very artificial tasting.
What a beautiful day to check out a new little place in downtown Ottawa. Move over cronut lovers, there's a new creation in town! Firstbite is a taking a delicious flakey croissant and turning it into a waffle, thus creating the Croffle!! This little hidden gem is located on Sussex dr and has been open almost a year. Owner AJ was so sweet and helpful. I do want to take a minute and acknowledge his amazing mural, I love seeing talented artist hired to make these beautiful pieces! We got 3 different wroffle, strawberry with milk chocolate, biscoff with caramel and I asked AJ to surprise me, and he made me blueberry with nutella, everything was so delicious. The croissants are made fresh daily, and you can see all the beautiful layers of the croissant as you bite into it. This place is a must try!! #supportlocal #ottawafoodiestalker
