Wild Oat Bakery
Ottawa, Canada
The read// why locals go
Wild Oat is a bakery and cafe at 817 Bank Street in the Glebe, where the baking and the cooking share one counter. The food menu changes often enough that the website tells you to come in and ask: falafel bowls, kale and goat cheese salads, a house pâté sandwich, dal soup, smoothies. Indoor dining and a patio mean it works as a meal rather than a pastry stop, which is the difference that matters. One location, independently run, prices at the cheap end. It has kept a neighbourhood trade in a stretch of Bank Street that turns over quickly.
