Welcome to Tartelette Bakery Café

At Tartelette, we bring the charm of a traditional French bakery to the heart of Ottawa. Proudly voted Best Bakery in Ottawa (2024 & 2025) and Best Dessert Spot (2025) by Faces Magazine, based on public votes, we’re known for crafting every item from scratch—ensuring each bite is full of flavour, freshness, and quality.

Our menu includes buttery croissants, elegant tarts, creamy cheesecakes, and freshly baked cookies, along with savoury croissant sandwiches and artisanal toast. Everything pairs beautifully with our drink menu featuring organic, single-origin coffee and a wide range of high-quality teas.

We also offer a seasonal Afternoon Tea, thoughtfully curated and beautifully presented, available daily.

Tartelette is proud to feature signature fusion creations inspired by our head chef’s heritage—especially our beloved Shirazi line, infused with saffron, rose, pistachio, and cardamom. These unique flavours shine through in our tarts, cheesecakes, and mini cakes and drinks.
Whether you're stopping by for a morning coffee, a sweet treat, or a leisurely meal, Tartelette Bakery Café invites you to enjoy a warm atmosphere and a taste of something truly special. Visit us and taste the difference.

From buttery classic croissants to creative seasonal twists, each piece is baked fresh daily with care and precision. Our customers often say our croissants rival those found in Paris — and we take that as the highest compliment.

Whether you’re starting your morning with a warm pastry or treating yourself in the afternoon, our viennoiserie selection promises an authentic taste of French baking, right here in Ottawa.

Choose from over 11 signature tarts, an ever-changing selection of cheesecakes, mini cakes, elegant dessert fingers, and melt-in-your-mouth cookies — all prepared with exceptional quality and attention to detail.

Whether you’re picking up a treat for yourself or sharing a box with someone special, you’ll find something to love in every bite.
