Great vegan bakery

Had the lemon square and the frozen hot chocolate which hit hard during the heat wave. Took home a frozen vegan pot pie for dinner as well, cant wait to try it!

Best Vegan & Gluten Free Bakery 10/10

Best Vegan & Gluten free bakery I've ever been to and I've tried a lot in Ottawa and Montreal. Cinnamon buns 10/10. Will definitely go back!! Must try if you're in Ottawa!

Only 2 small tables if you want to hang out. Also I wish there were more labels for the food but the staff was very friendly and helpful! #Veganuary

A variety of treats.

They have so many options for dietary restrictions. It is such an awesome feeling to be able to go in and pick whatever you would like without worrying if it is vegan or not.
They have expanded what they have available in terms of chocolate bars. They even have vegan tolblerones!

Pros: Plenty of options

Cons: Some baked items are a bit dry and crumbly

Some better than others

We find their cupcakes and cakes a bit dry, and now know to choose something a little more moist. Their lemon bar and Nanaimo bar are delicious. I’m appreciative that this bakery exists, it’s nice to have so many GF vegan options.

Pros: Variety/options

Cons: Some desserts are dry

Yummy vegan & gluten-free desserts

The cinnamon bun was absolutely delicious! There was a thick layer of vegan cream cheese frosting, and the bun itself was soft and gooey. I can't believe it was gluten-free! The Nanaimo bar is amazing as well.

The store also has many take-home trays of cinnamon buns, pies, cakes, cheesecakes, etc. I'll definitely have to pick up some of those take-home trays for holiday parties.

There is no seating area, takeout only.

Delicious

I'm shocked every time I enter by the variety of options, all of which are vegan and gluten free. Everything I have tried has been delicious. Maybe not perfect if you approach from a background of baked goods made with dairy and gluten, but spectacular if you appreciate the diversity and creativity of the options.

Vegan and gluten-free bakery - plus ice cream!

Everything is vegan, and also gluten-free (and nut-free and kosher). Scones, muffins, date squares, soy-free bread, mini cakes, brownies, coffee beans, 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.) Among the cold and hot drinks is a “s’mores frappé” for $5.50, which sounds interesting! I really want to try their ice cream...

What a disappointment!

On a l'impression de rentrer dans un lieu en plein déménagement : un vrai désordre ! Ce n'est pas accueillant du tout, c'est dommage, l'espace offre un vrai potentiel.
Les pâtisseries manquent d'élaboration et de subtilité: beaucoup trop de sucre!

Cons: Le lieu n'est pas accueillant, Aucun endroit pour s'asseoir, Les pâtisseries sont trop sucrées

One/null star - Overloaded with sugar

Cupcakes and brownies were too sweet. Cake pop looked delicious but tasted like chalk dipped in refined sugar.

(I wanted to give one star and HappyCow won’t allow because it’s a bakery. Why, cow?).

Updated from previous review on 2021-12-14

Cons: Too sweet, Sugar overshadowed other flavours

I believe the 2 star minimum is due to the establishment being fully vegan.

Okay

I’ve tried the desserts here a few times (in store and from Farm Boy) and sadly haven’t been impressed. I find there to be a lack of flavour and products are expensive. I appreciate the allergen and vegan options though so maybe they just aren’t for me.

Tasty Vegan Treats

I love this little vegan bakery! They always have a huge selection of baked goods & sometimes you can get a deal on day olds (which in my opinion are still golden). Muffins, cookies, cakes, scones etc. In the summer time you can even get an icecream cone!

Pros: All vegan, Great location usually has parking

Cons: Take away only

Queen Elizabeth cake for the win!!

I haven't been to visit the shop in person, yet, but have tried just about everything available for purchase at Farm Boy, and am absolutely in love!!
The Queen Elizabeth & maple chai cakes are my favourite, and if I could, I'd probably eat them every day • the flavours and consistency are perfect (for my tastes), and everything I felt I'd been missing out on after developing multiple food allergies & intolerances... this bakery has everyone covered, and it's a beautiful thing!
Thank you, Strawberry Blonde Bakery • I'll love you forever ♡♡♡

Best GF bread

I first had their bread at Grow Your Roots cafe and was amazed. I’ve tried their other baked goods from Farm Boy and have never been disappointed.

Pros: Delicious - no compromise for taste with GF, Reasonably priced, Good ingredient list

Best vegan bakery

Everything is vegan and gluten free and absolutely delicious. Cinnamon buns are otherworldly! Probably important to note that you can’t sit in at the bakery, it’s more of a pick up and go kind of place, there’s no seating.

Cons: No seating

AMAZING

Ive been vegan for almost a year, so when my mom came home with a whole lot of stuff from Strawberry Blonde Bakery I was super excited! She bought me a faux chicken pot pie (10/10, made with tofu), a loaded baked potato pizza with daiya, roasted potatoes and coconut bacon, cookie sandwich with icing in between and brownies. All i can say is i cant wait to get more!

Pros: vegan, delicious

Cons: not healthy

Vegan ice cream!

Not sure why it took me so long to stop by this fantastic bakery! After hearing about their new vegan soft serve machine on instagram I knew that I had to pay them a visit. The ice cream is delicious, you need to try their ice cream sandwiches!

Pros: Cute decor & friendly staff. There's something

Fantastic Vegan Bakery

Dropped by the bakery and bought a variety of products.
All were of top quality, delicious and beautiful to look at to boot. The Brownies and Lemon Squares were a big hit with me.

I will certainly be back.

Lovely bakery

I've been here a few times, and have bought products from Rainbow Foods made by this bakery too.

It's all vegan, nut and gluten free, and all delicious. Get a cinnamon roll, the frosting is divine. It's great to buy something for dessert that almost anyone can eat.

Pros: Nut/Gluten Free, Vegan

Awesome

I have been to the Strawberry Blonde bakery a few times the past week whilst in Canada and everything from that place is delish! And everything is glutenfree and vegan. Their pizza bread is soooo good, their carrot cake fantastic and their queen elizabeth cake made me feel like a little kid. Their cookies are also yum!

My favourite vegan bakery!

This is a small, vegan, gluten-free and nut-free bakery in the Wellington West area of Ottawa. They have UNREAL pizza buns (with DAIYA CHEESE!!) and cinnamon buns! Cupcakes are just the perfect amount of sweet, and it's hard to believe they are gluten-free. They have their recipes down pat and they know their stuff :)

Pros: amazing sweets and treats, vegan, gluten-free and nut-free, small local bakery

Cons: no place to sit, not a huge selection but it varies

Strawberry Blonde Bakery Makes my Heart so HAPPY!

These gals know what is up! From incredibly amazing delicious products to stellar customer service you will not be dissapointed by your visit to SBB. I continuously get wowed by each new product and my favourites tend to switch by day. But my go-tos are the power cookie (great as a breaky on the go), the cinnamon buns (who needs cinnabon?), the maple chai cupcakes and that tasty pizza bun I tried at the grand opening. The sugar cookies you will see hanging around are great little dippers for tea and were a hit last year at Christmas and finally I love getting the lemon blueberry muffins. Get your tushies down to SBB and let them make your hearts and tummies happy too.

Pros: Quality product, Quality ingredients, Local!

Cons: Risk of weight gain from so many treats!
