OH! WOW!! is all I can say after tasting Chef Dimu's Macarons, Chocolates and Donuts!!…read more I had never had a Macaron before. After seeing a review and it showed pictures of Macarons, I had to stop in and try one, especially a Raspberry Macaroon. I'm so glad that I did. I was totally surprised when Chef Dimu was so very kind enough to give me samples of his baking. It was out of this world. I was given a Lemon Donut (with a hole) and when I bit into it I was totally surprised to find that it had been filled with a Lemon Curd!! Blew my mind!! Highly recommend!!

This is a new bakery in downtown Barrie that makes beautiful cakes and baked goods. I haven't tried…read moretheir custom cakes, but the baked goods are very tasty and they offer something a bit different each day. The taste is very good but what really makes their baking stand out is the beautiful decorations and details that you don't often see locally.

I've been coming here for 40 years. It's always been a must visit every time we come to Muskoka…read more But what has happened to this beloved bakery??!! The quality of the food has plummeted! The scones were dry. The tarts were soggy and the filling tasted like it came out of can. I ask one of my Muskoka neighbors about it and was told that they moved the operations to a factory bakery in Barrie and freeze all the bakery items. They put a few loaves of scones in the locate bakery's old oven to make it smell like it's baked there not NOTHING is baked there anymore. I'm so saddened by this. If the owner reads this, PLEASE return to the old recipes and bake onsite again.

Last summer, new owners took over Don's when the original owners retired. They kept everything the…read moresame last summer, much to everyone's relief. Don's has been serving up their phenomenal baked goods in Bala for over 60 years, and no one wanted new ownership to change that. This summer, however, Don's is rocking a new, more streamlined look, and a slew of new baked goods -- on top of the much loved staples including scones, eclairs, and butter tarts. But they've added (to name just a few): - Chop Suey bread - Sausage rolls - Boston cream donuts - Bala Bites (small old-fashioned donuts) - Coconut cream pie - Bath buns - Cinnamon crullers - Eccles cakes - Apple canoes - Chocolate babka (the superior babka!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i78azsi7M94) So improving on the near-perfect *can* be done...

I was really impressed to find a place like this here. They have an incredible selection of treats,…read moreand also meals. You are looking to spend about $5 on any treat, like a brownie, or a chocolate covered cookie dough ball. The employee here was wonderful, and when I explained dietary restrictions she was able to pull out an ingredient list for every single item in the store and let me know what was the next one. 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.

This plant-based gluten-free spot has some seriously delicious desserts!…read more They also offer a variety of other things like freezer items, grab and go products, pizza and more but me, their sweets are what really make them stand apart. 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.

Cute bohemian cafe with healthy delicious food options…read more I had the quiche special which came with a delicious side salad. Hubs had the keto chicken salad. Had a bite; it was delicious. A date square and chai latte finishe off my late lunch. Decor is barn board and earthtones. Interesting art from local artists are for sale on the walls. Staff are pleasant and efficient.

Went and ordered 2 bacon chicken ranch wraps, wedges and a coffee in the drive thru. Got my order…read moreand a wrap was missing. Went into the restaurant and let them know. The person at the counter (Chiara) was great and very helpful. She said the person on the sandwich bar would make it for me. That staff person totally ignored it and went on to make food for everyone that came after me. I asked for my money back and was told that I would need the physical card to get a refund for my food (I kept the coffee). I didn't have the physical card as I had paid with the scan and pay option. Eventually a man named Mark came over and tried to help. He was very pleasant and did his best. I told him that I just wanted a refund and couldn't wait as I had to get back to work. Mark explained again about the card, so I said that I'd just take new food and go. Mark said that was fine, and they'd make it a priority so I didn't have to wait. I was good with this. Then a staff comes over and says it's going to be 9 minutes for wedges. Mark offered my hash browns, but I was so frustrated at this point that I just left. No refund, no food - and still late getting back to work. Mark and Chiara did their best. The sandwich bar person should be fired. Horrible customer service. I won't be going back to this Tim Hortons. Not worth the aggravation.

Mom really wanted to try the famous ice cap. Well she said it tasted nasty. Turns out this Tim…read moreHorton's doesn't know how to make the ice cap. This is like coffee with some ice. Bitter and nasty. Also it seems the staff doesn't even know what's on their own menu. Wife tried to order wedges / fries and they didn't know what that was. Also wife tried to get a drink with alternative milk and they claim they don't do that (on a subsequent visit they have alt milks listed on their menu).

Drove in and took a much needed break to stretch out and hydrate and enjoy a free donut courtesy of the long weekend promo. Ordered and the items were ready for mobile pickup. There is a huge parking lot with drive through (very long lineup) and walked in to be greeted by a very friendly crew that brewed a nice cup of dark roast along with a yummy strawberry shortcake donut. Will definitely swing by again when i am in the area

Now it's a good time to pick strawberries, raspberry, blueberries, peas, and corns. There are wagons to take ppl from one field to another. We got off at the strawberry field, but we don't really into the strawberry, so just took a look; then we got to the raspberry field, they looked good, but we barely eat raspberry; then we went to the Blueberry field, our destination was here. We saw another side of the field was having big blueberries, but they didn't open that side to us. And they said it was noon already, most of the big ones had been picked. I tasted a few, they were sort of big, but soured. We moved to other sides, but still the same. When we went home, most of them we made smoothies with honey. We also went to the peas field, not too many people. The peas were so sweet that we could eat them raw. But we went home to boil them with the skin, the skin was hard to eat, it was not snow peas, and too expensive when weighed with the skin. Good experience for the kids. They were happy.

The grocery store is nice and has lots of nice things, but the pick your own is a fail and we will likely find another spot to.
