If you've never been to Petites Gamines, seriously what are you waiting for ? The only place worth spending all my money while i'm in the office. :) The place is own by a girl boss who only hires girl bosses. It's a super safe and inclusive space. Plus they are always showcasing new bakery items and local products. *items pictured: Tiramisu cookie and Dark Chocolate Moka yummm

The desserts are always very yummy and fresh. The drinks well made. My only issue is when they were doing a coordinated dance, the barista's plié's form was horrid. Five stars will visit weekly.

Cute lil bakery with the most friendly and welcoming staff and delicious treats & drinks! I love stopping by here anytime I'm around Gatineau. They sell a lot of cute little pins and items from local small businesses too. EN + FR friendly and they also have a wall of polaroids of all pup customers too, which is a nice touch ☺️

I bought a chive scone today, and it was legitimately the best chive scone I’ve ever eaten.

My friends have been telling me about this place for ages and we were finally able to pop in together recently. I’m from out of town so I’m only ever visiting on weekends so the hours are very challenging for someone like me. I managed to get to town shortly after 4:00 on a Friday so we rushed to get in the car to make it before close. It was nearing close when I was able to get there so options were quite limited and the featured drink wasn’t available. I grabbed a couple goodies from what was left and they were delicious. I had a pop tart blondie and a cereal bar square. Loved the goodies! Only downside for someone like me is timing. Hopefully I’ll be able to try more in the future.

Small, cozy, quirky interesting little spot located on rue Laval in le Vieux-Hull. • Great selection of freshly baked goods, flat breads, sweet treats, pastries with a whimsical touch. • Not much seating options during the winter months. A few tables and chairs are available outside during warmer days.

A little mommy time while Illyana was at a birthday on Saturday, so I ventured over the bridge and made my way to a cute little bakery called Petites Gamines in Gatineau. Gabrielle and her co-partner come up with the most tasty treats! They also make delicious sauces, that pairs great with veggies and meat. I got a few things to try, a mini dulch caramel cronut, baby cakes (chocolate and dulch leche) and of course there green "Zhoug a monique" sauce. I also couldn't help myself to snap a few pictures of their adorable decor. Like many restaurants, she opened at the start of the pandemic and things can be a little tough at times but they are pulling through and recently just announced they will be opening a restaurant in vieux-hull called Rosalita, mexican food, yes please!! Can't wait to try out their new place! #supportlocal #ottawafoodiestalker

This place is no joke, they had the friendliest service when I could not locate them. Everything was so fresh and colourful, I can only imagine what they will become in a few months. They had the most amazing pastries and salads. Tried them through an app, but definitely going back. Ps. Dont skip the salad the smoked chicken was chefs kiss with colourful fresh ingredients

The owner says she has no intention of complying with the requirements of the OQLF (interview with Radio Canada on October 4, 2024). Go read the news. Its deplorable.

Really cute little cafe. The brownie I ate was delicious. When I asked for recommendations, one of the employees stupidly replied We have pastries and drinks. (When going to a café, I expect a lot of that. When asking for suggestions I expect current trends, new products or even discovering something unique to the company) Due to the service I received, I have a rather bitter experience from my first visit. On the other hand, the second employee was able to offer me one of their summer drinks, iced strawberry matcha. Unfortunately it tasted like water and almost no matcha. The idea is good and I think it could be good if executed well.

I always encourage small businesses, but I expect a minimum of service. Even though I ordered in French, the attendant always answered me in English. Not even a hello or thank you...I consider this a lack of respect towards his customers. Sad..

Always delicious and fresh! And of course always friendly! We come by and get a treat with our little one at least once a week on our way home from daycare! Kid-friendliness: Great treats for all ages, they have little knick knacks all over that kids love to look at. The door filled with dog polaroids are my favourite!

This is definitely my favorite pastry! They are super nice and always have good products. The selection is good, they have vegan, gluten-free products and more. In the photo, these are chicken empanadas, apple and maple butter biscuits and a tiramisu cream bun, it was super good! I highly recommend this place. P.S. they also welcome dogs!

A friend recommended this wonderful little spot and I am so glad I went! I literally gasped at the beautiful pastries on display, and the folks running the shop were friendly and lovely. I bought a pastry filled with cream and fruit and am still dreaming about it - it was divine and absolutely scrumptious. I cant wait to go back and try some other goodies.

This little shop is a must stop for all your food needs! They have breakfast sandwiches, take away soups and meals to heat at home, and delicious desserts! They also sell salad dressings to go, and have caffeinated drinks! I particularly love their stuffed croissant, Peanut Soup as well as the Moroccan soup. They have leveled up their bread game from their previous location as well, so give those a try too! Just come and eat all the things!!

Youll have to try their donuts, they taste like heaven if heaven had a flavor. The menu changes on a daily basis to give customers variety and therefore you get the freshness of the food. Keep up the good work Ladies!
