First Bite Treats

We had super delicious desserts here! Heat-pressed crispy croissants into delicious waffles, paired with sweet and sour fresh fruit and chocolate, it tastes really good! If you have a trip to this place, don't miss it!

I love the croffles here so much, the texture is just immaculate!!! My go-to is the strawberry flavour with the creamy marshmallow fluff topping and decadent milk chocolate drizzle. It’s not frequently available though, which is my only complaint. The lotus biscuit flavour is also worth a try. I love the subtle, cinnamon-y flavour and the way the textures blend so well together. Customer service is exceptional and the staff always make me feel welcomed. They also have the cutest interiors!

Being an Ottawa native, I’ve always wanted a business to bring a piece of the innovative dessert scene coming from Asia. First Bite Treats took inspiration to make the perfect addition to the Ottawa food scene. One of my friend’s introduced me to this spot after dinner and after finishing my first one, I purchased two more to bring home. The combination croissant/waffle is the perfect something of familiar with a twist that will make you coming back for more. The crunchy exterior and fluffy inside of the croffle pastry paired with the sweet and crunchy toppings adds a layer of complexity to this pastry. Photographed here is the strawberry + milk chocolate and Oreo + milk chocolate.

Perhaps I had way high expectations based on the reviews and rating. I would give this place a solid 4. The croffle was definitely good, but there is scope for improvement. The cafe is small but cosy and I loved the live plants for sale / decor. FYI.. they do not have a restroom, and don’t plan to sit in if you are with a large group.

What a deliciously innovative idea! Who would've thought combining croissant dough with a waffle iron would turn into such a mouthwatering creation?! I tried the strawberry and milk chocolate "croffle" and my partner ordered the blueberry with white chocolate. To say they were delicious is an understatement. The croissant dough gave this waffle fusion a pillowy texture that the chew was honestly delightful. They both tasted magnificent. My only suggestion would be to add a dark chocolate to their menu; something like a 70% would add another dimension to an already flawless flavour profile. I cannot say enough about the staff owners? of this quaint establishment. They were so unbelievably friendly, patient, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. You could tell that they really enjoyed their work and were truly pleased by our compliments. The interior of this small business is chicly decorated and has such a high class vibe yet still felt warm and inviting. My partner and I will certainly be returning to stuff our faces with these fantastic treats and will be bringing my in laws when they come for a visit this summer. I'm positive they'll find it a gourmand's dream!

Absolutely loved our experience here and fully worth all the 5 stars. The owner is extremely friendly guy and told us his story on how he started this place while making the delicious croffles. The decor of this place is also very vibrant as you can see from the pictures. He had a steady flow of customers come in and make great conversations with them. A lot of them seemed like repeat customers which is always a good sign! We tried the biscoff croffle and strawberry croffle. Both were delicious but we liked strawberry more. The strawberries were fresh and delicious. I think he mentioned that he switches up the menu. So I can't wait to see what'll be next when we visit Ottawa next. But definitely do visit this place in the heart of vibrant Byward market. Only suggestion is to use to paper plates instead of styrofoam.

I have been wanting to try this place for so long! So glad we went today! Had a delicious croffle with strawberries and nutella. It was warm and crispy on the outside. Perfect treat on this Sunday afternoon! Definitely will be back!

A tiny space that is amazing. The flower wall is amazing for photos. The staff made us feel welcome and answered all of our questions. Now for the truth ... The food was amazing! There was not a single crumb of anything left. To be fair, conversation also stopped while people enjoyed their dessert. Thanks for a fun night out.

We stayed near Byward Market on our first night while on vacation in Ottawa and stopped by for dessert. We tried the Biscoff croffle, and it was to die for! Just the right amount of crunchy and gooey. We would have gotten a second one, but didn't want to wait. That's the only potential downside; there appeared to be only 2 waffle irons, so if other patrons are there, it might be a bit of a wait! Still, the croffle was delicious, and the people who served us were very friendly, so definitely worth a try if you're considering it!

I came here with my family to try their croffle Croissant + Waffles. We heard about it but never tried it till we saw this place. We tried 3 different flavours and it was delicious! It's worth trying if you have never had it! It's soft and fluffy!
