Oh So Good Desserts & Coffeehouse

About Oh So Good Desserts & Coffeehouse

Oh So Good Desserts & Coffeehouse has been a ByWard Market fixture since 1994, making it one of Ottawa's longest-running dedicated dessert destinations. For more than 30 years, the York Street coffeehouse has built its reputation on a rotating lineup of 35+ handmade cakes, from classic European-style gateaux to rich, layered cheesecakes.

One of the things that sets Oh So Good apart is how late it stays open. In a city where most cafes and bakeries shut down in the early evening, Oh So Good serves dessert until 11:00 PM on weeknights and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, making it one of the few genuine late-night dessert spots in Ottawa. That has made it a go-to stop after dinners in the Market, shows at nearby venues, and nights out downtown.
