Late-Night Cafes in Ottawa: Coffee After 9 PM

Looking for coffee after dinner in Ottawa? These four cafes publish regular closing times later than 9 PM on at least some days. The useful detail is the day: Ten Toes' Somerset branch closes at 8 PM early in the week, while Art House closes earlier on Sundays.

Regular hours, addresses and official menus were checked on October 21, 2026. The times below are venue closing times. The operators do not publish separate coffee last-order times, so check late drink service and any event entry conditions before making a special trip. Holiday hours can differ.

Which cafes are open after 9 PM?

For a Sunday evening, Oh So Good and Mocha Mirage fit this list's after-9-PM window. For Friday or Saturday, all four publish a closing time after 9 PM, with Oh So Good and Mocha Mirage staying open until midnight. Midnight here means the end of that evening's service, not 24-hour opening.

Art House — coffee with a gallery and events

Art House Cafe is at 555 Somerset Street West, by Dundonald Park. It combines a cafe, gallery and event space; the operator lists espresso drinks and nonalcoholic options, including mocktails.

Its regular hours are 9 AM–10 PM Monday–Saturday and 9 AM–8 PM Sunday. That makes it an after-dinner coffee option from Monday through Saturday. Selected event nights may run later, but the regular Friday and Saturday closing time is 10 PM.

An evening event can shape the visit. Check the specific listing for tickets and age restrictions rather than assuming every night has the same entry conditions. Choose Art House when the gallery or programme is part of the outing.

Ten Toes Somerset — a Thursday-to-Saturday option

Ten Toes' Somerset location is at 837 Somerset Street West. Use this branch's schedule: the Bank Street and Cyrville locations have their own hours.

Somerset publishes 8 AM–11 PM Thursday–Saturday, with an earlier 8 AM–8 PM Sunday–Wednesday schedule. A late Tuesday coffee therefore needs a different stop from this list.

The branch's linked menu includes coffee and tea, with drinks such as Americano, latte and chai. Its evening programme includes Friday trivia and Saturday DJs. Check the current programme and entry conditions if you are planning around an event; a music or trivia night will have a different atmosphere from a quiet coffee break.

Oh So Good — coffee and cake in the ByWard Market

Oh So Good Desserts & Coffeehouse publishes its current visitor address as 54 ByWard Market Square. Use that address when planning your visit.

The schedule is 10 AM–11 PM Sunday–Thursday and 10 AM–midnight Friday–Saturday. It is one of the two options here with published hours after 9 PM every day of the week.

The official menu pairs cake, cheesecake and pie slices with espresso drinks, London Fog and chai. This is the choice when a slice of cake is part of the evening plan. For a wider dessert comparison, see our Ottawa dessert guide.

Mocha Mirage — Turkish coffee and tea on Bank Street

Mocha Mirage Cafe is at 226 Bank Street. Its official menu includes Turkish coffee, espresso drinks, saffron and pistachio lattes, Moroccan mint tea and pastries.

The operator lists 8 AM–11 PM Monday–Thursday, 8 AM–midnight Friday, 9 AM–midnight Saturday, and 10 AM–10 PM Sunday. Sunday is an earlier finish than Friday or Saturday, but it still extends past 9 PM.

Choose it when you want to compare a Turkish coffee or one of the named tea and latte options with your usual order. Use the operator's current location section for hours; older extended-hours promotions should not be treated as the regular schedule.

Plan the evening around the day

Start with the schedule, then choose the kind of stop: Art House for a gallery or event, Ten Toes Somerset for its Thursday-to-Saturday evening programme, Oh So Good for coffee with cake, or Mocha Mirage for Turkish coffee and tea choices. Menu items and seating remain subject to availability, especially near closing.
