Been here a few times over the years and I've never seen it not busy. Their baked goods are…read moreoutstanding: literally anything your sweet tooth desires, generously covered in icing and frosting and all types of delights. Their savoury stuff is also good: heavy on the carbs but still with enough tasty meats and veggies on there to keep you satisfied. Recent visit involved trying out a red neck meat roll (the hint of whiskey was amazing), roast beef (generous amount, tender beef) and chicken parmigiana (bland and overly doughy). Then capped off the meal with a gopher tail (airy bread with smooth creamy filling) and apple fritter (would have liked more apple but glaze was perfect). Mariposa is streaming with people at all times, and it's one of those rare markets and bakeries that people treat as a destination rather than a convenient stop.

This is on our way to Orillia, we stopped here to get something to eat as it was lunch time . It's…read morea busy store , most likely because of the season it was super busy . I couldn't get any lunch item , they said it was finished . but there was a huge variety of cup cakes, cookies, cakes all sizes , ginger bread cookies , snowman cookies , lots of different jams, from fruits to red bell pepper jam and breads . Will go another time when it's not too busy .

The ice cream is delicious but the display cases are terribly off putting and so unclean. Dead bugs…read moreeverywhere inside where the ice cream is, several inches thick frost around tubs, fingerprints all over the glass and it looks like the bottom of the freezers have never been cleaned either. Clumps of old ice cream and blacks specks line the area at the bottom. It looks like whomever owns this place has made zero effort to maintain any cleaning schedule and I have no idea how it passed inspection. I wouldn't have even ordered anything here but my friends guilted me into it. I'm no hypochondriac but this place may have turned me....ugh....

My fiance and I stumbled upon this place purely by chance. We were craving ice cream after a…read morecamping trip and a quick Yelp search for ice cream led us here. At first, we weren't sure we were at the right place. We saw a few signs for ice cream, but no ice cream shop. We asked around and found out that the big old steam boat was the ice cream shop. To our delight, they served Kawartha Ice Cream in almost every flavour imaginable! I got Raspberry Thunder (white chocolate and raspberry ice cream with white chocolate chunks) and some caramel one with butterscotch ripples and chocolate caramel pieces. The fiance got moose tracks (vanilla ice cream with peanut butter and fudge swirl with chocolate peanut butter cups) and vanilla (I gave him crap for ordering vanilla of all flavours!). They didn't have bear claw, which is the flavour I wanted, but I was happy with my choices. Kawartha ice cream is always delicious and you can tell the ice cream here is very fresh because there's no ice chunks. The pricing on the ice cream here is outrageous...ly cheap. $3.50 for a "double scoop" of ice cream, tax in?! Unheard of! Especially in Toronto. The double scoop was really a quadruple scoop, if not more. I had a hard time finishing all my ice cream and had to share with my dog, who eagerly gobbled everything up. You can also sit on top of the boat and enjoy the view and breeze while also enjoying your ice cream. All in all, I'd totally come back to this place for ice cream if I'm ever in the area.

The cherry added a bit of tanginess. The little bits of crushed oreos added a nice texture. The chocolate was decadent. The customer service was top notch.

I would love to visit again and try out their other cheesecake flavours and even their tarts.

I got an Iced Matcha Latte at the Orillia location. The drink was awful, fishy seaweed with a hint…read moreof something else pungent. Undrinkable unfortunately. The worker was very obviously irritated of me asking for extra ice and more milk with a slightly snarky comment of "Well I already put milk in there but I can put more in." The picture speaks for itself. I'm not angry about this as I do like their butter tarts but for the price and even if it was free- the matcha is undrinkable and disgusting. They definitely need to revaluate their matcha recipe (possibly better quality matcha as well!" Also- when it was handed to me there was a brown liquid layer on top. Ugh.

I started with some nachos that had multiple layers of cheese. Thank you very much. The ceviche was delicious. The tacos don't come individually so hard spot to go solo. They come in a deconstructed state with meat and all the toppings on the side. You assemble them yourself and make them how you like. One plate made 6 decent size tacos. As usual the service was fast and super friendly. The room stayed the same with a casual ambiance. Well done!!

I've been here numerous times now, always for their half price tapas or other specials which makes…read morethe price more accessible and very worth it. By now we've tried most of the menu but the favourites are the mushroom manchego grilled cheese and the duck. Some items are rotating, which is a nice way to try new items. I did find that in the early years there was some inconsistency with the portion size or plating (I remember this especially for the octopus) but I'm sure as years pass this has been ironed out. I also really like their bread with various canned seafoods. There's a pretty extensive drinks list, and a little market area yo purchase items to go. All in all a nice spot to meet with friends or have a date. There aren't too many seats so if they are busy it may be hard to get seating.
