Reviews of Quelque Chose Macarons & Coffee (Bakery)

I'm always very picky about Macarons but these ones are worth every penny.

aka.foodiedreams

Absolutely in love with this ice cream! It's topped with a roasted marshmallow and a cappuccino macaron!

raphael

Amazing. Awesome service too.

The TTG Guy

Nice fancy treats, but service was a big disappointment. It took about 15 minutes to make our order, even after waiting for others to be served.

Oguz Kilicarslan

A fantastic place!

zeena kaddoura

Good macaroons with unique flavours, definitely worth a try!

Amazing macaron place in Ottawa, across all their locations. Of course, it's going to be a little pricier: it's macarons they are selling not Wonderbread. They even make macaron birthday cakes (big! macaron with a filling and you can write a message on it). The service at the location was awesome when I ordered a macaron cake: I couldn't make it past closing hours and they left it at the pizza place next door that I could pick up at my convenience.

This place was very cute and small. They have a lot of selection of macarons and many flavours for them. I myself have never been a fan of macarons but it was cool to see just how many flavours of macarons you can have. My girlfriend got the ice cream sundae and it looked like it was delicious. I myself did not get anything from the store but in retrospect I should have gotten something as their whole menu looked very appetizing. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone who wants something sweet or just wants a cute place to post on Instagram lol.

Now this review is for the owner. I went to this location a month or so ago but didn’t have the time to give the feedback. I was on a lunch break with my fiancé and wanted to grab a box after having lunch for later. We waited in the store for excatly 12 minutes. That’s not a exaggeration. Only one person was working. She did not acknowledge us or say hi. For 12 minutes she was making a single drink. At this point there was a large line up. Since it was my fiancé's lunch break, had to leave soon and I made know out loud that we needed to leave soon. The staff member looked at us and continued with the drink. Other people started to leave and we decided to leave. The second we turned our backs to the counter. She put the 12 minute drink down and acknowledge the people behind us. If I was the owner, I would fire her in a heartbeat. If you hate your job to be waisting time on purpose so people would leave before being served. You deserve not a penny from your employer. It was the most disgusting display of a pathetic employee attitude. Grow up, be a adult...

If you like good crepes, macarons and delicious hot chocolate, you MUST go to Quelque Chose. Outstanding service and top quality food!

Nasir Bin Reza

Their macarons are to die for! I really like their Lemon Poopy Seeds flavour!

Jennifer Tang

Cute little dessert shop, and when I say little- they are TINY. It is definitely a to go type of cafe rather than a spot where you want to relax. I found it odd that they offered afternoon tea because the only seating are the benches! I personally don’t really like macarons (only consumables offered), so I had the vanilla latte instead. Really tasty and the price was average for it. Also they have free wifi, so it could be a study spot considering it seems to always be empty.

Elizabeth Peltz

Cool little find in the Market. A bit easy to miss if you're not looking for it, as it's tucked between two stores and it's a fairly small building, but if you're aware of it, look for it and you'll be glad you did. If you like Macarons or ice cream treats, definitely worth a stop. Been a few times and have yet to be disapointed. Not much in the way of seating, but generally not a problem as this is more of a "grab and walk through the market" or "get some cookies for home" type of place. Swing by if you get the chance!

Rachel Ruffo

This place is absolutely adorable! They have a lot of fun macaroon flavours as well as interesting drinks. I ordered a caramel iced coffee and I really enjoyed it. My brother said the macaroons were great.

Rammie Kamal

Was a super-hot day and my daughter was in search of an iced latte, so we went in and the macaroons drew us in immediately. They were delicate and delicious! The London Fog and Red Velvet were standouts, but they were all delicious (as was, apparently, the iced latte).

Victoria Ramírez Betancourt

Best Macaroons in Canada, you can tell their pastry chef makes them fresh with really high quality ingredients and technique. The pistachio and nutella ones especially are delicious. I love their new summer ice creams too, they're so creative with everything they do. also, I recently ordered 20 macaroon favor boxes that I gave to my co-workers and they loved how nicely they were packaged and tasted. This place is definitely worth a stop anytime in the byward market, and the friendly service is the cherry on top.

Know Thyself

Great

Melanie Bakx

Great service! Although they are not my favorite macarons, they were yummy.

Rocio Maldonado

The most delicious macarons I've tried! Also you can't miss their maple sundae! ????

Philip Wouda

Cute little shop with sweet treats, you can't go wrong. Lots of flavours, and a handful of seasonal flavours. Tuesdays, your friend gets 50% off their tea drink. Only a long bar for enjoying your bevy and macaroons, otherwise mainly a takeout shop.

Laxmi Bhutani

Amazing macaroons... Had Brownie Sunday was mind blowing. Thank you ????

Mandy Smith

I live out of the area and was looking for something for my best friends birthday. The Afternoon Tea for One was delivered on time. My friend thoroughly enjoyed the feast. Do not be concerned about ordering for delivery. Top marks all around. I look forward to visiting in person in the near future. Thank you for making a birthday extra special

Timo

My favs!!! They are great taste and have many different! Love it! Thank you !

Jazz Almasri

I love it excellent macarons excellent service

Linda Dam

Cute place in the Byward market to get delicious macarons and hot chocolate! ????

Asif A. Ali

Beautiful little bakery that has replaced Fido store. I couldn't resist but get some macaroons and a Matcha Green Tea Latte.. both were lovely! Do stop by here if you're roaming around in the Byward Market.

Amit Gore

Very nice ....

Boop

Omg I love their macaroons! They are soft, chewy and supeeer sweet! Macaroons I got are: Pink colada Matcha tea (one half eaten-omnomnom) Tiramisu Maple syrup Cappuccino Pistachio

Yu-Chin Tseng

Great place also can chose different types of flavors !

Zenah Surani

Great place to pick up a quick iced coffee :)

Daniel Laprise

Finally a macaron place in the heart of Ottawa. Very tasty products but a bit on the expensive side. I go when I have a craving but not a regular place if I'm obsessed with the sweet treats. Still a must!!!

Pooja Bhaidasna

Amazing texture and flavor!! Many options to select from too. Recommended to all.

Cyn Rooney

Yummy macarons ????

Louie wang

Prefect place prefect ice cream！！ I love the vanilla one It's taste amazing！！！ And looks soooooooo cute hhhh

Ashley Cunningham

The maple syrup macaron was so good! The filing is a bit thicker than what I've had in the past which made it even better. Ive had better Italian sodas- was way too sweet and mostly ice.

Priscila Galván

First time I tried macarons and wow they were great! My favorite raspberry with dark chocolate

Miriam Farkas

If you want to feel fancy but don't want to completely break the bank, this place is great! They have a variety of flavours that aren't boring but also aren't overboard for a macaroon. The staff are sweet, and the store is aesthetically adorable ;)

Camille Theophile

The owner is so sweet and the macaroons are delicious! So many flavors and options... I want them all! (kind of expensive for one or two but it's worth to get a pack to bring back home, to gift or even to enjoy by yourself)

Vanessa P

A little pricey but a nice treat on a hot summer day.

Drew Goodwin

Super tasty and fresh. The prices are reasonable and staff be very friendly.

Joyce Halladay

Amazing!

Samantha Ayson (Sam)

The staff are incredibly kind and friendly, their French macarons are superb! My favourite flavours are Jasmine Tea, Matcha Latte, Lavender and Raspberry Dark Chocolate! I'd love to see them in Toronto one day!

Jacopo Toccacieli

Nice coffee and great service! Macarons are delicious!

Marian Christine

placed a last minute order for macarons to be delivered to my cousin for her birthday. she sent me a photo when she received them and i was surprised (in a positive way) that they put the flavours in the exact order i chose them! my cousin also said that the delivery man was very nice. thanks for helping me add a lil extra sweetness to her day!

Lauretta W.

A little shop near to the Byward Market, a nice place for you to come by, sit down and have some lovely afternoon tea. I like their macarons. They’re not over sweet and the flavour is very natural and tasty. And they look beautiful too!

A M

The place is cute and has really good views and decor. The staff is welcoming and it looks like a sugar lovers dream. I tried several macaron flavours today, the brownie and strawberry were great, pistachio tasted like cough medicine. Will return though to try the amazing looking shakes and other treats

Blake Schillaci

The macarons were numerous and so delicious. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and laughed with us. A perfect experience that will have me become a regular in no time. Try the Italian sodas too!!

George Bonev

Sweet little place. Awesome service.

Gnomze

I ordered some of their macarons through uber eats and the experience was great. My favourite one was the salted caramel, though others said the Nutella one was even better (couldn’t try it because of allergies). Would most definitely recommend this place and will certainly be ordering again sometime soon!

Guillaume Igou

I had a horrible experience with this bakery. Ordered a box of 6 macarons on a monday night at 6. 4 of the 6 were stale and at least 2 days old. They were completely rock hard and not edible. For $14, I expected to be able to eat my food. The two macarons that were fresh were terrible. The outer crust is too thick and not crunchy enough, while the filling is not rich enough. Avoid at all costs. Instead of focusing on stupid new flavor (there is a quinoa one), maybe they should focus on being able to produce an edible macaron.

M W

Been there a few time; like it so far. A bit pricey but worth it

Janna

disappointed, I was charged more than it was said. Ice cream and macarons were delicious.

cleo 777

Not suitable for vegans. Went there last Saturday night to see if there were any vegan options (not mentioned online). The girl working reassured me that their “dairy free”macaron was vegan. Went back today to get more and to my surprise, the girl working told me that they don’t make any veg macarons. Please educate your staff about common dietary restrictions.

Jason Chute

Amazing macaroons and everyone in our group absolutely loved their sundaes!

Joe Skyfall

I bought 2 hot chocolates which came to 17 dollars. Pretty pricey but the hot chocolate is delicious and you get a Macarons on it. Presentation of the hot chocolate is nice so the price is justified. Personally I don't like macarons, but these macarons changed my mind about them. They tasted fresh and not airy like some macarons I had at other places.

Jessica Gosse (Jess)

Nice macarons, good variety. The vanilla one is amazing! It is a bit pricey, and for sure they are not vegan, but it's understandable if you had tried to make macarons at least once. It is tricky, the texture is complicated to achieve if you make lots of substitutions, almond flour is expensive, so what they charge is not bad for a fancy treat like macarons. Can't wait to try different flavours!

Mathieu Provost

Great spot for a quick sweet treat! Either just macaroons or the soft ice cream creations. Both well worth it.

Ilya Makarov

Good selection of desserts besides macarons. Macrons were priced within average price range, however some of flavours tasted old or not as fresh as others (salted caramel and London Fog). Staff is very friendly and managed to accommodate any of food modifications that people requested.

Sabrina Oliver

just perfect!!

S M

It's cute! Their sundaes are delicious and pretty extravagant, so I think they're worth the money. Macarons are really good too and they have a ton of different flavours to try. Service is fast and staff are friendly. Only complaint is that there isn't much seating - only 4 chairs inside, so this isn't a place where you'll be sitting around for long, however the place is very small so there's not much that can be done about it. Great for a quick stop if you're craving something sweet.

Aks S

They have a lot of options when it comes to macarons. I tried the pistachio flavour and that was decent. I wanted to buy a box of 6 but they ran out of 2 flavours that i wanted - brownie and nutella. So didnt end up buying the box. Place looks chic and deserves a visit.

Vy Do

Coffee and macaroons

Robert MacGregor

The service here is amazing and given the quality of the product the prices are extremely reasonable! An excellent Host Gift for the holidays and New year's! The host who served me behind the counter on New Year's Eve was incredibly friendly, and you will be seeing me again!

Tiana Dee

Fantastic macarons! Probably the best I've had so far anywhere in Ontario. I got a box of 6 asserted flavours. The dairy free options are not as creamy as the others but that make sense. The flavour on all are amazing. Definitely will return and maybe even try one of the fancy looking milkshake next time.

Miti Patel

The salted caramel hot chocolate tasted amazing and we got to choose any flavour macaron to top it with. We chose the cappuccino flavour after trying some free samples. The staff were very nice and welcoming even though we arrived close to their closing time. The look of the shop is beautiful and prefect for an Insta pic.

Lisa H

Delicious macarons and iced coffee. The owner is super friendly and inviting. We will be back!

Rachel Moreau

A bit expensive but really really good

Meghan C

Cute little shop with delicious macarons! A little on the pricier side but I don't mind as a nice treat every once in a while.

Tamara

Subpar creation. I had the cotton candy Sunday which aside from the macaron on top was: crumbs of cotton candy, vanilla ice cream, crumbs again. Neither crumbs not ice cream were anything special.... maybe their other flavours pack something more

Mademoiselle C.

Rather pricey for the quality of macarons but I was happy to find this place as my children wanted macarons for desserts. Service was soso as well but it could've been just the cashier that night.

Hawaiian Blue

Great taste !

Mr. & Mrs A

cute chic place the strawberry milkshake was soooooooooo DELICIOUS macarons were super yummy too craving it already!!

Leah Connelly

Very expensive

Maria Yousaf

Really delicious macaroons. Love the salted caramel and the nutella flavours. Super friendly staff. My only complaint is that the macaroons are a bit pricey.

mayra gonzalez

I went today and happily I found the best lavender macaroons , they are beyond amazing. Also , the staff is very friendly . Definitely coming back .

Heather Viers

Don't waste your time or money on the ice cream. It took 15 min to make 4 ice cream Sundaes. Pretty mediocre quality too. This is a tourist trap.

Mel Bartlett

Great soft serve treats in summer for a fair price considering what you receive, and sometimes there are specials on for $2 dollar cones which is a huge bargain. If macaroons are out of your price range for large groups, they do have very reasonably priced alternatives. Good and very fast customer service in a cute location in the market.

Rachel S.

Terrific macarons! Wished there were more room for us to sit inside though.

Michelle Lee

Nice flavours, aesthetically pleasing little shop, cute packaging 6 for $15! I got: Red Velvet Matcha London Fog Lemon Poppyseed Cappuccino Seasonal - Peach and Black Tea

Kristyn St. Charles

Went for high tea and it was spectacular! We were seated by the window and it was so cute. The mini sandwiches, scones and desserts were delicious! The staff were friendly and I would recommend for a birthday, girls night or special occasion.

Brandon (Brandon)

These macarons are dynamite.

Aurora Morrison

Delicious ice cream, delectable macarons, and delightful service ????

Wilmer “Wilmer” Santos

Quelque Chose has really amazing macarons! They pair really well with tea, and I don't find them to be overwhelmingly sweet. Their soft serve sundaes are pretty good and are really cute.

Nik W

Great selection of macarons and great coffee.

Manushi Gera

Wow. Tasty, perfect macarons. And the service even more amazing. They had samples and the guy went out of his way to make sure I got one. And was super nice. Loved the whole experience. They have cute walls and it’s so beautiful in there.

Samuel Steeds

The atmosphere here is wonderful. The macarons are always delicious and fresh, and the staff all quite friendly.

Jake S

Service was great, coffee was good... But some of the macaroons didn't taste so fresh and too sweet. Will come again on my next visit to Ottawa to try and change my review.

Cyncoco

the staff was so patient, as me and my friends took some time to choose the flavours of macarons that we wanted! the spot is so cute and just a little walk over from Rideau Mall ☺️ i'd recommend to stop by if you're a sweet tooth!

Norah Suliman

I’m not a big fan of macrarons .. you can rarely find the good places for it.. But here omg the macarons are so so so yummmmy!!

Juan Guzman

Yesterday I bought a chocolate and a caramel lava cake. It was delicious!!! The cakes were very fresh, spongy and very tasty!! The staff is very friendly and polite. I would definitely come back!!

H M

J'y suis allé pour acheter une galette des rois. Stationnement facile sur la rue de côté. Le personnel est très sympathique et la galette était délicieuse, exactement comme celles que nous avions en France. Nous reviendrons pour essayer d'autres choses c'est évident!

Lauren Morse

I had an excellent experience. The lemon poppyseed, cherry, london fog and red velvet are my favourites and are all amazing.

Brigitte R

Ordered a flat white, got a latte. Way too much milk. ????‍♀️ Place is cute, haven’t tried the food.

Tatiana Pereira

I was really impressed by their soft serve, and would say it’s worth trying! Very creamy and flavorful (definitely preferred these to the ones at Sweet Jesus). While there is less variety, their toppings were really good too. Unfortunately I’m not at all a fan of their macarons and that’s their primary product =( I’ve tried a variety on three separate occasions and found the texture to be off in one direction or the other, either super chewy or too crispy with large hollows. No real complaints on flavor, but the magic of macarons is largely dependent on texture.

Becky Douglas

This little bakery in Byward Market was quite the little gem. The macarons are delicious and the customer service was fantastic! If I lived closer to Ottawa I would be a regular!

Meinhard Mare

Very pretty

M Koshy

By far their Macarons are the best ones I've ever tasted (I am always looking for a macaron place :P) Personal favorite would be Raspberry Macaron with dark chocolate filling, its Heaven !

Jingfei W

Very cute place for a sweet treat! Recommended to come and visit with friends.

Chips Sips

Some flavours of macarons taste fresh and others are always hard.

Fabian Buitrago

Excellent place! Best macarons in town.
