Sweet Fall Treats in Ottawa
Churros and Apple Cider
Head to Log Cabin Orchard for some fresh baked goods and churros. You can also grab some hot apple cider to enjoy at their bonfire on weekends. This apple orchard is a great spot for apple or pumpkin picking. I always make sure to bring home some fresh apple cider with me. You can also pick your own apples and pick your own pumpkins here or another local farm and take them home to make your own recipes.
Head to Flapjack’s Pancake Shack for these delicious fall creations. This is the perfect spot to head for Canadian comfort food. My go-to is the panwich but these apple pie pancakes look incredible!
Head to Maverick’s Donuts for a fall treat in Ottawa that’s sure to satisfy your pumpkin spice cravings. They also have fun flavours like pecan pie. Get an assortment to try a few flavours. They have locations all across the city making it easy to stop by after an adventure.

Pumpkin Brownie
I had the most amazing pumpkin brownie from Hidden Goldmine Bakery. You’ll find it in Marmora, a perfect spot for a day trip or road trip. You’ll find it about 2 hours away from Ottawa. This bakery also had fall treats like pumpkin cheesecake muffins, fresh apple pies, pumpkin spice tea lattes and more. I visited it on my way back from the Festival of Smalls. There’s plenty of other things to check out while you’re on your way back.
