nutty greek bake shop

fresh, tasty and friendly. wonderful place and hidden gem that everyone should try!

great gyro pita - consisting of tasty gyro meat, fresh vegetables,delicioustzatziki served on a warm and moist pita bread. a hearty and light tasting sandwich that doesn't leave you disappointed!

go for the greek village salad, it consists of another fantastic combination of tomatoes, olives, green/red peppers, cucumbers and a perfect mixture of crumbled feta, olive oil and oregano. a meal on itself that is both refreshing and appetizing.

soups are varied throughout the weekdays, some hit and miss which range from creamy chicken, tomato basil to leek and potato. some decent but not all of them are great.

now onto the best part of the place and most underrated food item on their menu...their loukoumades - aka honeyballs. basically a greek version of timbits on steroids. order a batch fresh and eat right away and the learn that one bite of these can brighten up your day. i offered one to my friend at the office, at first reluctant to try something different but after one bite, the words out of his mouth were...'eating one of these is like an orgasm in your mouth'. 'nuff said.

desserts - well just decadent but you have to join a gym to work out if you want to try all the varieties without blowing up the belly.

love this bake shop!.deliciousfresh pita wraps! order it with extra tzatziki. it's homemade and the world's best...they should seriously consider bottling it! couple it with an extremely fresh salad - i personally enjoy the village salad - and you have a full meal. but save room for the "greek honey balls" - loukoumades. order a batch early as they are made fresh and to order. finish the meal with a truly unique coffee...try the fredo cappuccino - it is quite a pretty drink!

delicious. tastydelicioustreats at this bakery, nice friendly staff and service. the spinach pies are awesome!!!

yesterday afternoon i was looking for adeliciousmid afternoon snack. while in the area i found the nutty greek bake shop ( 490 rochester street, ottawa ). upon entering the shop just down the street from beech street burger , i notice the tidy bakery with a friendly person behind the counter welcoming me with a smile.  being three o'clock the lunch rush was well past so there was time to chat.  turned out i was being served by the owner, anna. i inquired as to what type of teas she offered.  she went through about eight different types, but the first or second stuck in my head, morrocan mint. of course there had to be something to nibble on if a true afternoon tea was going to be had.  i gazed through the all the tempting temptations in the display case. hmmm...so many choices....  the carrot cake style cupcake with the swirl of frosting on the top caught my eye.  something about it just made me salivate. the order : 1 large morrocan mint tea and a carrot cake muffin. anna poured the

thoroughly unique, thoroughly delish. i just ate a gyro and what i affectionately call a "galactic burrito" from ngbs (although perhaps galactic, they aren't actually burritos. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/galaktoboureko). both were delicious, as they always are, and indeed as everything is at ngbs. their pastries anddeliciouswrapped meats never fail me, and they all come at quite reasonable prices. the service is personable and knowledgeable, while the premises are clean and well-kept. i like that you can sit in and enjoy your food, or take it to go. i also highly recommend the spicy sausage rolls, and appropriately big fat greek-sized baklava. just don't order a donair here -- i'm pretty sure donair is turkish and i'm also pretty sure there's some kind of long lasting beef between turks and greeks... so... yeah...

nuttydelicioustreats that melt in your mouth. i can hardly go a day without them. vanilla kadaifi is a must try, baklava, and assorted authentic cheesakes. many options for "on the go" lunch, with fast service. with great greek music, food and a loving family service, nutty greek is adeliciousfamily experience.

excellent gyros and pitas. my husband and i have been searching for a decent gyro/pita place since we came home from greece last summer---we have finally found it! we went to the nutty greek bake shop for lunch and we've decided that it is as good as some of the pitas we had in greece. the pita bread was sooooodeliciousand the ingredients were very fresh. all in all, we will definitely go back!
