Our story
We bake from scratch every day at our Elgin Street bakery in the heart of Ottawa. Whether you stop in for a buttery croissant and a coffee on your way to work or pick up a loaf of fresh bread for the dinner table, we put the same care into everything that comes out of our oven.
When a celebration is coming up, we are here for that too. Our custom cakes, cupcakes, and cookies are made to order, so your special occasion gets something genuinely worth gathering around. Come find us at 268 Elgin St and see what is fresh at the counter today.
From the oven
From everyday treats to celebration orders, here is what we make fresh for you at Brown Loaf Bakery.
We bake our bread fresh every day, so what lands on the counter is as good as it gets. Stop in and pick up a loaf while it's still warm.
Our pastries and croissants are made from scratch and ready each morning. Buttery, flaky, and worth the trip to Elgin St.
We design and bake custom cakes tailored to your occasion, your flavours, and your vision. Get in touch and we'll work out every detail together.
From classic butter cookies to beautifully finished cupcakes, we bake these treats with the same care we put into everything else at the bakery. Great for sharing, or not.
Planning a birthday, wedding, shower, or office gathering? We take celebration orders so you can show up with something truly special from our kitchen.
Pair your morning pastry or afternoon cookie with a proper cup of coffee. We keep it simple and satisfying, just the way a neighbourhood bakery should.
