Have eaten a few items from Strawberry Blonde now and have enjoyed them all. Their coffee is also delicious! But the concept of this bakery is a little confusing. There is a small seating area in the middle of the store, but there are also chairs and tables stacked up against the wall. It feels like it's partially closed and doesn't make for the nicest environment.
Great vegan and gluten free treats. Nice to be able to get vegan scones, even though they are not flaky and light like non vegan. The mocha nanaimo bars are the best.
Everything is vegan and gluten-free (and nut-free and kosher). Scones, muffins, date squares, soy-free bread, mini cakes, coffee beans, brownies, ice cream, custom-decorated cakes, take-and-bake items, including pizzas, pie dough balls, Jamaican patties, pizza pockets. I had an iced oatmilk latte (soy, oat and coconut milks available) and took away a maple cinnamon bun, cheddar rosemary scone and tofu scramble bite. (The scone and cinnamon bun, being gluten-free, are not as light as regular flour items.)
My favorite bakery ever! If you visit in the morning or are lucky enough to get a hold of some of their cinnamon buns - DO IT. They also have soft serve ice cream with gluten-free cones, and it is delicious! The best summer treat!
My infant has a dairy and soy allergy so my wife is unable to eat either. I was able to get a mother's day cake and a birthday cake for her here and they were fantastic. Lovely accommodating staff as well. These guys have been able to introduce some sense of normalcy in my wife's diet and for that I am grateful.
Love Love Love this place! I’m on vacation from Vancouver and really wanted to try this place out because I have so many allergies (GF, DF, egg free). You can’t even tell that it’s vegan and GF. One of the best Vegan and GF bakeries I have ever been too. Highly recommend! We had a brownie, cupcake and doughnut. They were all so delicious!!
This bakery is the best bakery I have had in Ottawa. I have tried their brownies, cupcakes, cookies and I have loved them all. The best part is they are gluten free, nut free, lactose free, etc. & you honestly can't even tell. They are made so well, you can tell that a lot of love has gone into making these desserts.The brownie bomb cake was sooo tasty! My family enjoyed it. Definitely will return again and again.

It’s so nice to have found a dedicated gluten free bakery. I come once in a while and everything I have tried has tasted great! Some of my favourites are the sun-dried tomato scone, brownie and chocolate candy cane sugar cookie. Last time I came in I tried the carrot cake and the bunny cookie, both were good. I wish this place would open up more locations in Ottawa, I am sure many people would agree!
I really enjoy this bakery. I love that everything is gluten free. I also appreciate that they have items made without soy, which can be more difficult to find when looking for vegan baking. The staff is always nice and efficient. I have tried a lot of items and there are so many fabulous items. I will say that there are handful I am not a fan of (some items I find very sweet or too soy-forward). My Strawberry Blonde favourites are the lemon square, peanut butter Nanaimo bar, cinnamon bun, brownie and brownie bomb.
