What a hidden gem! So very glad I found this (celiac-safe) gluten free bakery. If you are celiac or…read morehave a friend or family member who is, this is a must visit. This place is a family run business, by a super sweet lady who's hubby is celiac, so she knows what's up. I tried about half of their offerings the day I visited and each one was better than the next. Everything tasted wonderful! They have freshly baked goodies, gourmet salads and a full freezer of delicious sounding items to take home. Highly recommend everything, but especially the butter tarts, scone and cookies. Can't wait to hit this place up again when I visit Barrie. I know I will be sending my local friends here to pick up stuff for me in the meantime. (And if the business owner happens to read this, please consider province-wide shipping for your yummy products!)

Found this gem while looking for a place for lunch with friends in Barrie. I had never heard of…read moreCopper Branch before, and was surprised to learn that they are well established with many locations. 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!

This place is amazing. I didn't know it existed until very recently, and now it will likely become…read morea staple on my way through Barrie. Their doughnuts are great, and baked in house right away. This means that if you're waiting for something at opening, you may have to wait a few extra minutes. For examples, their dipped donut holes were the last thing to come out when I was there. And, their dipped doughnut holes are the way to go, if you want a box with a variety of flavours. You could eat one of their four dollar doughnuts, and if you do - have the strawberry cream - but each of them is the size of two or three doughnuts from any other place. This isn't a four dollar doughnut that leaves you feeling empty, it's a four dollar doughnut that leaves you wondering how you're possibly going to finish eating it! But, the doughnut holes, the dipped ones, they're amazing. They're the right size to eat a variety, and not feel overfull. The thing that terrifies me is they have so many savory options, too. How am I supposed to eat everything I want? I'll need to make a number of return trips. And, they're dairy free. Which is great for allergies, and lifestyle choices. Love it. Love it. Love it!

We were greeted right away. After we were seated, our server was over right away. Hunter was very helpful. The beer options are incredible and can be overwhelming. Hunter was really good with breaking the drink menu down. While beer isn't my thing, they cater to just about every taste. They even offer gluten free beer! Speaking of gluten free - they offer so many gluten free options. I opted for the lettuce wrapped double standard burger. It was delicious! It came between a head of iceberg lettuce (who needs a salad!). My boyfriend got the brisket burger and loved it! I tried a piece of the brisket and it was tasty. I should add, their prices points are reasonable too. All and all great atmosphere to dine in or catch a game - lots of tvs! Definitely worth checking out!

Great muffins, and tarts, and brownies, and crinkle cookies, etc. a few misses for me (under spiced pumpkin pie tarts?), but that probably just a personal preference issue. I have not yet had a chance to try their bread, which I'd very much like to do, but they are always out when I go in. Because the bread is so good that they always sell out? Or because they don't make enough? Probably a little of column A and a little of column B.

The hello dollies were far tastier than I had expected, and the chocolate covered cookie dough balls are now things that I'm going to the consider making at home. I never would have thought about it if I didn't come here first.

Some of my family favourites are their "Snickers" and "Butterfinger" bars, cheesecakes and donuts. I've also tried quite a few of their apps, which are tasty, but our experience was that anything breaded does not hold up well through the cooking process (the breading falls off). Staff here is always friendly and they have a great variety of items in a small space.

"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 do wish that they were a bit more moist. The butter cream frosting was smooth and creamy with a silky texture. It wasn't overly sweet either which I enjoyed. Overall, a nice bakery that has a variety of selection from cakes to breads to deli.
