What User doesn't like about The French Baker:
Very disappointed. Ordered a box of pastries and 2 lattes to go and once we were on the road and took our first sip and bite completely regretted our decision.Lattes were weak and the croissants must have been from the day before because they were hard as rocks.

You have to try the croissant with almond butter here. Sooooo delicious. Great shop and the owner is very nice. My hubby and I felt like we walked into France when we went in. View all feedback.

The French Baker had the most amazing glazed cinnamon rolls, they were to die for. An exceptional little patisserie to visit, inspect and enjoy!

I usually come early for the fresh baguettes, which remind me of visits to France and it's a lovely place to meet for coffee and pastry.

Found this place while exploring streets of Ottawa. Pastries looked more attractive than tasted. Not too fresh... The bread seems to be fresh though.

This quaint French bakery in downtown Ottawa's Byward Market offers a variety of pastries that have received mixed reviews. While some customers were disappointed with the quality of their pastries, others found the freshly baked goodies absolutely delicious. With friendly staff predominantly from France and a wide selection of pastries to choose from, this hidden gem is worth a visit for those with a sweet tooth. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or a scrumptious dessert, this bakery has something to offer for everyone. Overall, it seems to be a hit or miss experience based on personal preferences.

"Came here on a recommendation. Sandwich was alright (turkey havarti), maybe I should go try a different one. The cannoli was amazing, though!"
