The Ottawa Bakery 630 Court Street, Ottawa, IL 61350

"I had a chocolate croissant and it was wonderful! Very busy, and not much space to eat inside, great to just order and take to eat outside. They offered to warm up my pastry as well which I thought was a nice touch!"

"Parked downtown on a chilly morning to walk around downtown. Happened to walk past the bakery and went in. The cozy unassuming entryway yielded to a stunning variety of quality made pastries. I had a stuffed croissant (breakfast bomb) and my wife had the quiche. Both were excellent. The coffee and tea game is not strong, but the pastries and baked goods are very good."

"We used this bakery for our wedding and they did not disappoint! I have gluten & dairy allergies and they made sure I had a wedding cake I could enjoy. Just absolutely delicious and so friendly!"

"This was the highlight of downtown Ottawa! We are visiting from out of town at the little cabins and needed some breakfast pastries. We ended up getting a good assortment. Are it so quickly that I forgot to take pictures. The cherry almond scone was my favorite. It was moist and had huge cherry chunks. The oatmeal Whoopi pie was also delicious! It was a family favorite. The cream inside tasted like pumpkin. The oatmeal cookie on the outside was chewy and soft in the middle and crispier on the edges. The cookies were gobbled up by the kids. The Apple fritter was okay (per my husband, he said too sweet). The cinnamon bun was recommended by the cabin and also good. The staff was so sweet and even gave bubbles for the kids! Cute sitting area outside too."
