City Cafe Bakery

One of the great places for made-on-the-premises woodfire bagels (not just delicious traditional white bread ones, but multigrain, too the traditional coverings (sesame and poppy seed and plan are the choices). They have great Baden coffee and lots of breads and other usual basics of a bakery. Gourmet Pizza at lunch is tasty and medium to higher in price. The costs for bagels and other bakery items are medium priced. Payment is on an honour system with staff available to make change! Nice relaxed, simple atmosphere and pretty adequate indoor seating with a patio area (some shaded tables) for the good weather. A big garage door opens in good weather to allow for a big screened-in area inside.

City Cafe Bakery was suggested to me by the UPS Store next door on Ottawa St. I was told your butter tarts are 'life changing '. Well I definitely had to find out myself! After pouring myself a cup of coffee one of the staff was super attentive, explained how the bakery worked my first time visiting and gave me a quick tour of where everything was. A. MA. ZING! Great service, yes, life changing butter tarts and I will definitely be back! I even had a little chuckle with the two ladies on staff about 'ringing the bell ' after putting the money in the box. Thanks for a great experience you 're doing everything right!

City Café Bakery bakes the best bread! Please open up a new location in Cambridge, Ontario. I really miss the Preston location.

Always go to both locations. Ottawa and Strange St. Best bagels and croissants ever!!! The bakers are really hard workers prepping so many great offerrings...and its like 200 degrees for them in the summer yet they always smile and remain so friendly!! Well done peeps!!

Fresh everything. Staff always smiling in a very welcoming and warm environment inside and out. This is a must stop of you are in the area, The fresh bread and bagles are amazing!
