Being a fan of the Bakes by the Lake lunch and treats, I was excited to see they had expanded and were offering more options to the gluten free and vegan community. The tea room is beautifully and elegantly decorated. From the light fixtures to the cutlery, it shows they have put much thought and energy into the vision they have for the space. I was definitely impressed! The menu offers a little bit of everything. My boyfriend, who isn't gluten free tried a gluten free beer and really enjoyed it. We were there around lunch so we opted for sandwiches. Not having to ask if something could be removed or was gluten free was so nice. We swapped half's of sandwiches and loved both. My boyfriend had no idea it was vegan cheese until I told him after he ate his half. He said he would order it again. The Gourmet Grilled Cheese had the upper hand with the black truffle dip that came with it - sooo good. How can you go wrong with black truffle anything?! :) All and all, was a terrific dining experience. We will be back for sure! They offer live music, brunch, lunch and dinner and also have a very nice patio. The customer service was spot on too. Being family run was really nice to see too. Can't wait to see how great this place does!

In fact, they are so good that I have not tried anything else as I keep coming back for more. The caesar salad is delicious and it is impossible to tell that it is vegan. If there's only one place to try, I would definitely recommend Shine.

I got my order to go and it didn't take along to prepare. The king oyster pulled pork sandwich was excellent! Full of flavour and the gluten free bun was fresh and fluffy. The Cali livin salad was nice and light. A great balance with the sandwich. I would highly recommend this place, whether you have dietary restrictions or not, the flavour will not disappoint!

I have been looking for a place in Barrie to have a quick meal. I am limited by some food issues,…read moreand sometimes time is at a premium. "Goodness Me" is a health food store with extras available, including fresh baked goods, and a service counter and salad bar. They provide several fresh dishes on a salad bar, and a counter where they have about 10-12 hot dishes that you can choose from. The food is fast, and the staff is helpful and friendly. The pricing is good. My experience has been that it is best to go earlier in the day when the food is fresh. Like any other buffet type "restaurant" the food tends to get pretty thick if it has been sitting around for a while. There are lots of good options for people looking for gluten free options, but the potential for cross contamination is there if you are very sensitive.l to gluten. They also had 3 fresh soups available and regularly have chilli. The pricing is much better to offerings such as Nature's emporium. I found the price to be at least 25% less. They also have a pretty hefty discount at the end of the day on food if you are so inclined. I did it once, the price was fantastic, but the butter fish was like glue. ;) Overall, a good place to have a healthy and quick easy bite.

I ordered the General Copper Bowl, served with shiitake mushroom General Tao, broccoli, fresh avocado, organic brown rice, sesame seeds, sriracha coleslaw, and Copper Branch General Copper sauce. It was nicely presented and most importantly, it was delicious. The flavours went well together and had nice texture variation. My spouse had the Aztec and liked it very much as well. We tried a few desserts; I would suggest skipping desserts here and focusing on their awesome bowls. The decor is lovely, and the service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!

They had a lot of interesting treats and food as well that I would like to try next time I'm in town. I am allergic to nuts so there are several items I would have to avoid eating, but lots of good intention, made from scratch items here.
