True Loaf Artisanal Bakery Downtown Ottawa Gladstone Avenue

Welcome to True Loaf

Thank you for visiting True Loaf Bread Company. We are a family-run bakery offering delicious breads from 7:00am to 1:00pm Tuesday through Saturday. All of our breads are freshly baked daily in our shop at 573 Gladstone Avenue in downtown Ottawa, between Bronson and Lyon.

We are passionate about health and food and we love bread, so our mission is simple: we are dedicated to baking the finest quality breads. We put great care into every loaf we create and we love to share this passion with our customers.

We bake breads for all occasions. There are crusty golden baguettes with fresh airy insides and oversize dark whole wheat sourdough miches that make a perfect accompaniment to any meal. We make tasty sourdoughs with flavours including raisin and chai spices, olive and rosemary and toasted seeds that will have you craving one more slice every time. We offer delicious chewy buns pebbled with dark chocolate, candied ginger and orange peel on a bed of sliced almonds – a delectable afternoon treat – and many others.

For authentic texture and taste, we use many different leavening methods such as sourdoughs, poolishes and pâte fermentée. Our ingredients are sourced from local and organic suppliers whenever possible.

True Loaf bread is available in different local businesses in Ottawa. You’ll find our bread list, bread keeping tips and more on this site.
