Art Is In Bakery is this amazing foodie place I found in Ottawa, while visiting my son. I had googled places prior to our arrival because as a foodie lover, I wanted to enjoy brunch somewhere new. From the outside it seemed like we were lost and came upon an industrial looking place. Checking google and our GPS one more time, in a winter blizzard chaos, we were assured we had arrived at our destination!
Ambiance
Upon opening the door, we were greeted with such an awesome surprise. This place was bustling with people, and the scene was lively and upbeat, and as my eyes scanned the area, it dawned on me that if I opened a restaurant/bakery, it would undoubtedly look like this! It’s a place where you can just chill and relax and enjoy brunch. The space was awesome, with its high ceiling and decorated walls, the vibe was definitely alive!
There were two lines, one for your main meal and the other, just for pastry, dessert or bread. Behind these two lines was a separate counter for specialty hot beverages. It was chaotic because if this is your first visit, you’re kind of confused which line to go to.
The room contained all sorts of settings. Round tables, rectangle tables, couches and picnic-like tables. It was super comfy and very vibrant and inviting. You order from the chalkboard menu and when you’ve paid for your meal, they give you a number for your table.

Croque Monsieur
French Style ham and cheese sandwich on sourdough bread layered with Havarti cheese and bechamel sauce, with golden melted gruyere cheese. Topped with a sunny egg, served with a side salad.
The only downside to this meal was that the bread was toasted extra crispy to my liking. But still, it tasted wonderful.
Stuffed French toast & Meatball sandwich was totally amazing as hell!
For $50 in total it wasn’t bad because I was totally in love with the place, and the portions were spot on. We were stuffed!
Next time you’re in Ottawa, take a gander at this place, you won’t be disappointed!
