Super cute bakery located steps from the waterfront. I was walking by in search for something to…read moresatisfy my sweet craving when this place caught my eye. A small, locally owned and operated bakery that caters to folks who need gluten free desserts - which isn't me but I'm always game to try! The selection of goods made it hard to choose just one, but I ended up getting a blueberry oatmeal muffin. Fresh, flavourful and filling!! As with many gluten free bakery items they can be a little on the sticky side but I enjoyed it just the same. The lady who served me was very kind and welcoming. Appreciative of the service and in fact before handing me the debit machine to pay, she skipped the tip option for me which I thought was very respectful. For anyone with gluten intolerance or anyone who loves their baked treats I would recommend you check out this place on your next visit to Orillia.

This place is a must stop! Get here early if you're looking for gluten and dairy free bread - They…read moreare a popular spot so the bread tends to be gone first thing. They did have plenty of bagels when we popped in later in the afternoon. They also keep items coming, so I'm sure you'll score something delicious! Stopped in with my mom on a Saturday and were warmly welcomed. I had stopped in a few weeks back for a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving that was delicious which is why I had to go back! On this occasion, we decided to try their flat bread and soup for a mid afternoon lunch - both were so flavourful. We both agreed we would order that again for sure. It was the perfect comfort meal on a cooler fall day. We also got some sweet treats to take with us. There was still plenty to select from. We opted for a date square, apple butter square, raspberry cheesecake square and kitchen sink cookies - They all disappeared before I remembered to take a photo - oops! :) Let me say, the date square was jam packed with dates! Everything had the right level of sweetness and tasted so good. I will definitely be back! They have so much more to try! Oh and they also offer a special brunch menu on Sundays. Highly recommend stopping in. You'll be supporting local and I'm certain you'll find a sweet/savoury treat or two!

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.

Very small but cozy place. Bought a strudel as well as a Bienenstich (Bee Sting), fresh and tasty…read more Bienenstich had a distinct sweet flavour but very light, strudel was more on the sour type thanks to the fruits as is supposed to be and I love that. If you enjoy baked good I definitely recommend this place, it will not look like your typical high end bakery but it will definitely delight your taste buds.

There are a variety of menu options including both sweet and savory pastries, breads and pies. We ordered a peach and mango strudel and a dessert square with assorted berries.

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. The man at the counter was so patient and helpful. They also make dog treats which contained natural ingredients. Our dog was quite happy with them. 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.

Highly recommend! Nah, if you're down to drop a lil extra…read moreover Tim's, it's straight fire. Real latte, food that actually slaps, no cap. Turkey club? Chef's kiss. My coworker hit the mushroom bacon melt and that thing was bussin' too. Everything tasted like,,,, actual food? Not that fake McDonald's garbage. Vibe was chill, staff was lowkey nice, whole thing was smooth af. If you're done with mid-tier slop and want something that actually slaps, go for it. No ragrets!

I didn't try to cheesecake, but my friend loved it, and is willing to make the road trip for more in the future!  I wanted to try their lavender latte, but they were out of lavender tea, and asked if I wanted a regular tea latte with lavender syrup.  The syrup didn't appeal to me, so I opted for the matcha latte.   The matcha latte was good, but not particularly memorable. It had a creamy texture, and the matcha flavour was sublte.  This is one of the larger cafes in town, with plenty of indoor seating, and a laid back vibe. The staff were also friendly.

They also serve different types of Afternoon Tea. They also sell breads like Sour Dough ($12.00) and French Baguette ($4.50) for takeout. We ordered the following: 1. Nutella Croissant ($6.95). 2. Flat White (small $4.95). They charge the normal 13% HST, but there is an extra 3% resort fee! Both the croissant and coffee were good. The service was good. Some people make reservations for their favourite tables. They certainly make sure every is clean and chairs aligned. Four of us were sitting around a very small round table, so I put my camera case and bag on top of a neighbouring table (they were only 20% full). My wife told me they were staring at me. After I took it off and put them on the floor under my seat, they cleaned the table; must clean off any dirt I might have on my stuff! They have been open for 3 years. They allow photos using a phone but not a DSLR. They said they would charge $250 for me to take photos. One staff member recommended I speak to the owner. The owner was concerned that I take photos of his prices: this makes not sense since I can also do it with my phone! He finally allowed me to take photos of just the food, and he asked the staff to take it out for me onto a table! I was thankful! There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is free WiFi. The patisserie is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom. There is free parking in the resort. There are two high chairs for little children. Review 2024-203

Full Tea for 2 ($65) includes: Tea, savory mini sandwiches, assorted sweets, whipped cream, assorted fruits. ** They didn't have mini sandwiches, but we got to choose a hot pressed sandwich from the bakery display, and they sliced it for us ^^ I'd also recommend: * Lychee Green Tea (teapot) * Roast Beef Mushroom Melt * Brie, Arugula, Prosciutto Be sure to make a reservation via phone for afternoon tea experience. Good for small groups of 2-3 people :) Limited indoor seating, outdoor patio also available. I personally think the afternoon tea experience is still very new, still need to work out some kinks. Overall, food was delicious, and my family had a lovely time together :)
