Don't get me wrong, their chai latte is amazing, but more vegan food options would be nice.

Favourite lunch - Edit
Can’t say anything more about how yummy the food is here - my favourites are the focaccia, pizza and chocolate HAZELNUT cookie. The “perfect chocolate cookies” have candied orange, which is not my thing.

Vegans...better arrive by 11am - Edit
Disappointed. Looking to have lunch here today but was told they stopped making sandwiches....it was only 1pm. There were no vegan pizzas. My option was a baked muffin and there was 1 salad and two of us. Possibly a great place but if you are vegan I suspect you need to get here before 11am as they only seem to cater to vegans in the morning. Ended up eating at Copper Branch a few blocks away.

Well you must try their tempeh sandwich when you ever get the chance, it's a must. Now they have online ordering so i recommend trying that route until things go back to normal.

Broadway Tunes! - Edit
This place had phenomenal vegetarian food options, wonderful beverages, and an excellent music selection. It’s more of a stop and go place as there is little seating, but nonetheless it was well worth it.

Always has vegan sandwich options, sometimes they have vegan pizza too! Was sad when they stopped making the vegan chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, but I am told they are bringing them back once they perfect the recipe.

nice place. not clearly vegan - Edit
They have some clearly marked vegan cookies which are excellent. The pizzas and sandwiches appear to all have cheese but unsure.

White Bread Vegetarian - Edit
I used to really like this place, but it's gone way downhill in the past year.
Read moreWhat were once healthy, hearty vegetarian sandwiches on delicious multigrain bread are now unwholesome convections on tasteless white focaccia that is closer to cake than to bread.
Don't even dream of asking for anything on brown bread, because the manager will look at you as if you're from another planet. All the hullaballoo about locally sourced ingredients is pretty empty when the food on offer is so unwholesome.
Don't plan on going back again.
Pros: Friendly staff (some of them), Nice atmosphere
Cons: Unhelpful manager, Unhygienic (dirty countertops)

best bakery ever! - Edit
My wife and i, along with our six month old daughter, are on holiday in Ottawa and went there this morning. Pastries and sandwiches were excellent, as was the peach lassie. Lots of vegan options too. The music was great - our daughter was rocking out to it :-)
Read moreThe staff were very friendly too.
We can't wait until we go back and try pizzas and other delicious looking stuff.
Pros: great food, Eco friendly, friendly staff and nice music

Awesome muffin - Edit
A very busy place which offers hardly any vegan stuff except for a muffin, a cookie and a cheeseless pizza. But the muffin was amazing :)

So-so vegan sandwich - Edit
BF and I picked up a TLTP (tempeh, lettuce, tomato, bell pepper) sandwich for lunch. Line was long but moved swiftly. There're probably around 10 seats tops, so it's mostly a take-out place.
Read moreThe sandwich was just alright, a tad dry, could definitely use more spread/sauce. I guess pizzas are their forte because that was what most people got.
Cons: small place

Best Cookies and Pizza - Edit
Bread and Sons Bakery offers a selection of tasty health cookies, which is great for the office and retail workers in the immediate area. Cookies are often purchased for office get-togethers. Variety of flavours available, such as chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oat.
Read moreVegetarian pizza slices are extremely popular with the clientele and the Bakery is the most popular "health lunch" option in the downtown core.
Pros: excellent food, healthy cuisine

Take out bakery with some vegan options - Edit
Bread and sons is a takeout place. They have about 2 places to sit down. I love how their food is shown all around the place instead of being the other side of the counter. We can actually see what we will be eating. We ate a vegan pizza ( with mostly spinach on it ) and we saw that there was vegan sandwiches also. On another visit, we tried the vegan muffins and cookies. They have limited choices. It is mostly a bakery, where you can get bread, some vegan sweets, or vegetarian/vegan pizza. This is not the kind of place where you get service and a full meal. Just know that. I didnt so i thought it was someting else. I still appreciated my visits there as i found it was a nice, not pretentious at all, earth friendly bakery.

love this place - Edit
I used to work near Bread & Sons, which was a real treat. Their baked goods are excellent, and they make delicious sandwiches, my fave being an avocado/tomato/sprouts on spelt (vegan). So delicious. Also, their soup is really excellent too. They've really expanded their vegan offerings lately, which is nice. Their chocolate chip oatmeal vegan cookies are my favourite cookies there. Excellent bread. Good price considering the quality. Friendly people work there, always nice to chat with. Love this bakery.
Read morePros: Local ingredients, Mostly organic, Excellent Quality
Cons: Not much seating

Not Thrilled - Edit
I was in Ottawa visiting and delighted to see this place listed here so ran right over from my hotel the first afternoon to pick up some yummy vegan goodies. Was completely disappointed though when the only vegan options I saw were a banana bread and a cookie. I got the banana bread which was ok but nothing spectacular and pretty expensive. I wouldn't go back.

Nice but pricey - not many vegan items - Edit
My wife and I were in Ottawa and wanting to stay around Parliament Hill and the National Gallery region. This small cafe/bakery wasn't too far from this region and was just a small walk away.
Read moreThere weren't as many vegan options as we would have liked but we bought two cookies (of one variety), banana bread (I wish I had had some Earth Balance to spread on!) and a green tea (to sip on but maybe more to just warm up the hands on the chilly morning).
The prices were quite high but we needed to find something to eat in the morning. The cookies and banana bread slices were around $2 each so more pricey than we would pay unless we really needed to find something while travelling.
The small cup of green tea was around $1.60. Maybe this is normal for coffee shops but it seems a bit much to someone who never goes out to buy tea .
Pros: decent taste
Cons: pricey, needs more vegan items, some not labelled
