A newly certified donut shop featuring lower fat (but still delicious!) donuts. The shop is located in Almonte, roughly 20-30 minutes from Ottawa, but the donuts are also available at Farm Boy. (OVH-Dairy, not Chalav Yisroel).

Montreal style wood-fired bagels located on Wellington street. The bagel shop has an attached restaurant (which is NOT kosher) and carries grocery and deli items as well (some are kosher, many are not). Note that the OVH certification covers only the bagels in this establishment.

‍

Most (but not all) of the ice cream at this popular chain is kosher under the COR and this is indicated on the small flavour labels on the freezer. Any toppings or cones need to be checked independently.

Similar to Baskin Robbins, many of the frozen yogurts are certified kosher. The flavours tend to rotate, so each would need to be verified, as would any sauces and toppings.

‍

There are LCBO's all over the city, but the locations with the widest kosher selection are:

• Rideau and King Edward (downtown)- check the ‘Vintages’ section on the lower level for some higher end choices
• College Square (west end)
• Bank and Walkley (close to Alta Vista).

You can also purchase Kosher Beer at the Beer Store.
