Ichiban Bakery

Delicious pastries, breads and the occasional Japanese specialty. They make amazing special occasion cakes. Lovely people who remember their customers. Try the ham rolls!

Cute little bakery with tons of selection. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area. Service was lovely too.

WOW-fabulous! Wonderful selection of freshly baked pastries using high quality ingredients. Also feature custom cakes for special occasions. One of the best bakeries in my experience. Highly recommended.

I came for the very famous cheese cake. Turned out it was just a bread with cream-cheese filling.

In my last moments, wheel me into this place and feed me tarts and orange Cranberry bread. Yummy!

Go here. Everything is great.

But there’s a chance they’ve made cream puffs today. It’s only on special occasions, but maybe that’s today? Frankly it’s worth the risk. I cannot stop thinking about the cream puff. I had it last weekend and it haunts me still. Next time I’ll take a picture to remember it all the better.

Be still, my cream puff.

Japanese Cream Cheese Bun was the fluffiest Cream Cheese Bun ever, the Bun itself was soft, and the Cream Cheese was even softer, and Cheesy!

Fantastic, puffy and bouncy Japanese cheesecakes, I can’t recommend them enough. I loved their matcha and plain flavors but they have a bunch of variety to try. Loved their soy sesame cake in a box too! I love that their desserts weren’t overly sweet and you can actually taste the flavors and the delicate fluff of the cake without being overpowered by the sweetness. They have a bunch of other bakery items that we didn’t get to try but based on the cheesecake, I assume they will be good too. They take debit or cash or p2p transfer so be prepared to figure it out if you don’t have those or are visiting from outside Canada. They will take credit through square but you gotta push them because they have the app installed but maybe don’t use that too frequently. Overall highly recommended for Japanese cheesecakes in Ottawa.

Best cake in town. Everything they have is delicious and very unique. The price point is a bit high compare to other bakeries. Would get cake here for special occasions.
