nutty greek bake shop

overrated.

gyro was made from prepackaged frozen meat and commercially available tzatziki sauce.
feta used in thegreeksalad was utter garbage quality.

the baked goods looked good and may be worth checking out. perhaps that's why this place is hyped up.

possibly the onlygreekbakery in ottawa (is it why it's called nutty? j.k.)!
small, cheerful place on a forgotten corner in centretown (the address is on rochester, but the entrance on beech st... go figure. more nuttiness?)
now, for the food.... have only tried their sweet baked goods and these are rich, fresh and tasty. not the cheapest place but good quality for the (medium) price. 
coffee is good and service is friendly & efficient.
will be back!

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

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

go for thegreekvillage 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 agreekversion 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.

delicious everything and friendly service. my boyfriend and i live very close and go there at least once a week. everything we have tried on their menu is amazing. their gyros and pita wraps are tasty with a generous amount of meat. their desserts, which are homemade, are absolutely delicious, from their cheesecakes, cupcakes, baklava, to their biscotti, you will be glad you didn't skip on the dessert. had their hot chocolate for the first time and it was perfect, they make it with ghidelli (spelling?) chocolate, and it was yummy. also, if you like iced coffee, they have an amazing iced frappe coffee which is made withgreekcoffee, you will be amazed. there are two younger female staff who are delightful. we absolutely love coming here and look forward to trying everything on their menu.

what an amazing experience!!!. we traveled down to little italy it experience a bit of greece... we had heard from a mutual friend that a littlegreekbakery had opened that was servicing up the most outstanding baklava ever... well we didn't find just baklava, we found the most amazing smooth tasting cheesecake ever... my husband tried the feta cheese cheesecake with sour cherry and i had the baklava cheesecake... you heard me right!!! baklava cheesecake with the rich taste of honey and the crunch of walnuts and almonds...

we are already planning what we are having for our next visit...

yesterday afternoon i was looking for a delicious mid afternoon snack. while in the area i found the nuttygreekbake 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

simply fabulous. if you're craving sweet and/or savory, this is the place. from a perfectly made and tasty fresh gyro to the range ofgreekdesserts, including a backlava cheesecake, this is it! i stopped in again last week just after the lunch rush. my chicken wrap was made fresh and this time i opted for thegreekquinoa salad instead of the cheesecake! ;) great salad! great lunch!

elegant cakes. having taste tested cupcakes at several bakeries, we settled on nuttygreekbake shop to order a special birthday cake for a friend. the citron (lemon + orange) cake was delightful - not too sweet, filled with lemon curd, iced with a pale lemon buttercream icing with flakes of white chocolate on the sides, and topped by petit red marzipan flowers. very elegant! the birthday girl and our other guests were very impressed!

moreover, the 2 sisters behind the counter (one of whom was the baker) were very personable.

we're looking forward to sampling theirgreekbaked goods.

great place. ottawa needs more bakeries like this! amazing selection of authenticgreekdeserts.

nutty delicious treats 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 greatgreekmusic, food and a loving family service, nuttygreekis a delicious family 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 nuttygreekbake 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 sooooo delicious and the ingredients were very fresh. all in all, we will definitely go back!

to finish off the meal evening, we enjoyed a variety of sweets that js bought from the nuttygreekbake shop. op also brought over some brownies chocolate cupcakes that she made. out of all of the sweets js brought, my favourites were the almond cookie and the icing sugar-topped shortbread cookie. i can't forget about the moist and tender chocolate cupcakes that op made.

great to havegreekoption in little italy. sunny, super friendly and everything fresh !!

the folks here prepare some great lunch and snack treats.
thegreekcheese pies are tasty filling and full of flavour.

the sausage rolls a real nice surprise.. choice of spicy or regular sausage, not greasy and the filo is terrific.
my office mates thought the baklava was the best they have ever enjoyed when i treated them.

the coffee, decor, service all excellent.
it's great to have thegreekoption now in little italy.
