Bakers Street Cafe - Ottawa

This place is amazing!! They usually have a line up (on the weekends at least) because it is just that good. Every single time I go, I get great service, the portions are HUGE, and usually the owner/manager asks us how it was before we leave. For a breakfast/lunch place, this is where you want to be in the city!

What a great place to have breakfast. The portions are huge and the food quality amazing. They also have some pretty innovative stuff. The staff and owner are super friendly and the atmosphere is really cool. A must if you are in the Ottawa region.

Came at 0830 no line up. Staff were really friendly, personable, and funny. Great service! They left a pot of coffee for me on the table so I could drink as much as I want which is a good idea. The food was AMAZING, huge portions. The potatoes were really good and the toast is homemade. They should go the next step though and have homemade jam too, that goes perfectly with homemade toast.

The kids found this place in Westboro that was highly recommended by a quite a few people. On a Sunday morning at 10:30 we reach here and stare at the long line to go in. The restaurant is quite small and line up was long. Thought about going elsewhere but did not have the energy to find and drive elsewhere. A lady did come out with a tray of mini muffins for all the people in the lineup. The kids and wife loved the size and taste of the muffin-a nice gesture. <br/ <br/ Took an hour to get in. The waiters and the owner were really good and the owner made the last part of the wait a bit more enjoyable. If you are two you have a better chance to get in quicker. Four is an hour and if you are more than 4 I would forget this place or go on a weekday. <br/ <br/ Ordered a Campfire Breakfast, a Cinnamon Roll toast with eggs, a grilled cheese with home fries and a toast fries for the vegan. BTW, no vegan choices in weekend and the lunch menu which has an sandwich option that could be made vegan is not available on weekends. <br/ <br/ The coffee was too weak for our taste, the orange juice freshly squeezed felt it came out of a Tropicana box. The large milk and juice are also not as large as they sound. <br/ <br/ The food was out in a reasonable amount of time. The Campfire was amongst best my son has ever had. The eggs perfectly cooked. The Cinnamon Toast was a home made bun sliced in two and toasted with butter made it more flavourful and likeable. The Grilled Cheese had a couple of slices of cheese at best, but was good nevertheless. The home fries stole the show in my opinion, perfectly cooked potatoes with onions and green peppers. Just the way I like it. <br/ <br/ The food good, but thinking if it was worth the wait. Perhaps there are some other brunch places around? Parking is a challenge as well.

Aftet two visits, it was time to recognize excellence in service and food. The first time, my breakfast partner did not even have to ask for her tea...they simply remembered her order. I see why she is a regular. I did not wait in line at 7h45 the first time, but was happy to wait in line when I arrived with my daughter at 9 am...yes, for the mini muffins brought to those waiting. If I waited 15 minutes, the paper and the muffins made up for it (sitting is overrated anyway). Both times, I enjoyed cinnamon raisin french toast and very good espresso (in square cups...I know; I've got to get out more). All over, a very satisfying breakfast, truly one of the best I have had in Ottawa.
