Planet Coffee, ByWard Market, Ottawa

Honestly, horrid. The blueberry cheesecake was like a rock. We couldn't figure out if it wasn't fully defrosted or just 10 days old. The lemon square was 90% crust and 10% lemon, obviously done so to save costs. There were a ton of flies and bees (not even near the display, but by the seats, which is weird). Oh, and they don't advertise the prices of their baked goods, which I find dishonest.

Okay, I’m honestly just shocked. I’ve been here before and ordered coffee, and their small size was never this small. I’m not sure if it’s just the matcha that comes in this tiny cup, but the portion is seriously surprising. Maybe it’s on me for not asking about the sizes beforehand, but for $5.80, I definitely expected a standard small, like the one you get at most coffee shops. The taste is okay but matcha feels kinda diluted, but this serving size is really disappointing. (59 mL sanitizer bottle for reference)

For the price, the size and quality of the drink did not match. I got a pumpkin spice latte and it was really not good. Also got a muffin which was pretty hard. The staff were kind to me but I did see an interaction with another customer that wasn’t as welcoming. The patio is also under construction right now and the inside atmosphere is okay. I think this place is probably better to go to in the summer.

Great location, but everything else is just alright. I’ve been coming here for years because of the location and that’s probably what makes it popular. Coffee was fine. Avocado toast was overpriced for what it was.

I normally enjoy getting coffee and a snack here, but the service today changed my mind. The food is nice and the coffee good. It is close to where I live, so it is convenient. The service of a particular employee made my last visit stressful to a point that I will not return. There should be better customer service training and consistency.

Lovely coffee shop with plenty of indoor seating. Loved the vibe and cozy atmosphere. We tried the tomato soup and avocado sandwich, which were awesome, though the sandwich seemed quite small for me. The Earl Grey tea and hot chocolate were also good. Highly recommend and would be happy to visit again.

Vegan, gluten free and mainstream treats. Lovely staff. Tables are wobbly outside, yet the atmosphere is worth it

For your own good don’t get any of the pastries, they are all stale and dry like they’ve been out for days. The coffee and matcha were okay like a 6/10
