Shine is my absolute favourite restaurant in Orillia. You cannot go wrong with anything you order…read more The bacon cheeseburger, mushroom sandwich, chicken souvlaki, or gnocci are all incredible. 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!

There are people arriving and leaving on boats docking directly at the patio; giving a very different vibe to most patios in Ontario. There is a great hot and cold cafe menu, a well stocked bar, and a good selection of sandwiches. It is a bit on the pricier side; but the backyard patio is worth the extra couple of bucks. Food is brought to the table - a nice touch! This is also a tourist store with a good variety of homewares and local pottery and crafts.

The two ladies are knowledgeable and can tell you what is vegan what is not. Had Coconut and Lentil with Vegetables Soup with Toast and a Spicy Rice and Veggie Wrap with the same soup. Saw a morning glory muffin which was Vegan and gluten free and somehow I heard it calling me. The muffin was delicious. With greens, carrots and coconut was amazing. The best part it had very little sugar. Only if I had it warmed. The soup and wrap came quickly after. The soup had almost entire lentils which we assumed would be under cooked. We were wrong. The lentils cooked to perfection. The coconut milk creamy. A bit under seasoned for the Mrs, but I didn't mind. I did want some spice though. Added some black pepper but didn't do anything. The wrap with lots of salad greens and rice. Carrots and veggies. The rice and tortilla was warm. The service was good as well. The place has a small area for buying some nut milk and other stuff. There is also a shelf full of books for customers sit and enjoy.

We stopped by this ice cream shop for dessert and we're really happy with our experience…read more 1) This place is popular and always has a line. 2) They have lots of options to cater to everyone's needs. They have meals, desserts, ice-cream, smoothies, coffee, tea and bubble tea. 3) The line moved really fast. The Food: We ordered an ice cream and smoothie with boba. I love this new trend because I love boba and my boyfriend loves ice-cream. It makes it really easy to accommodate both of us when we try to satisfy our sweet tooth's. - Smoothie with boba: I ordered a mango banana smoothie with boba after I found our the bubble tea mix had dairy in it. I was very happy with this option and it tasted great. It was made with less sugar than boba typically is (score) and had my tapioca pearls. It was delicious and I would order this again. - Moosetraps Ice-Cream: My boyfriend really enjoyed his ice-cream. He thought it was delicious and the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Would we go back? Absolutely!

Great place! I visited the Gravenhurst area and the waterfront and I was quite impressed with the…read morequality of food and desserts from here. I'm not a local to the area, but from what some of the locals tell me, this place is one of the go-to places for fast Asian food and desserts, especially bubble tea.. so much so that some days, the tapioca runs out for the day. The food menu also switches up regularly I hear so there's always something new to try. I tried the fresh fruit shakes here and the ice cream cones and I loved them! For sure this place doesn't compare to some of the places you'll find in the GTA, but it's pretty great for the area. I'm definitely coming back here next time I'm in the area.

I've never tried the smoothies here until my daughter wanted to have one. The smoothies are great…read more I had the Banana Berry Breeze and she had the Strawberry Twister.

However, the topping were VERY skimpy!! the pictures show full slices of kiwi, plus like 7-8 slices of strawberries. in my large bowl I got 3 slices of kiwi cut into quarters, I received 4 very thin slices of strawberry which did not amount to even 1 full strawberry. My sister had a quarter of a banana, I think it was 4 thin slices, and she had 9 blueberries. Make your bowls look like your pictures! For $15 please give us more fruit!

Fantastic smoothie bowl place in Barrie! Exactly what I was hoping to find this morning…read more It was not very busy around 10am on a Monday, and there are a ton of options to choose from. Lots of base smoothie flavors and a very wide variety of fruity, dry, drizzled toppings. I ended up going for the acai bowl and chose coconut, blueberry, bee pollen, and banana as my toppings. She was very generous with the toppings, ensuring a perfect photo op! They also have frozen smoothies to take home so you just need to thaw them out. Taste wise, I think the toppings were really fresh, but the smoothie bowls are all pre made. It doesn't quite taste the same. I was hoping to see them blending orders as they came in for that fresh smoothie taste and delightful texture. Instead, it was already premade and frozen so it tasted a little watered down. Just slightly. And it was still icy. I just let it sit in the sun for a few minutes, and that worked perfectly. I love that they don't add sugar too. Definitely would return. If I lived in the area, I would get some more of the unique bases to take home. Definitely try the blue citrus one too! Beautiful look and tastes really refreshing!

In the eight summers I've been coming with husband and his family to Muskoka, the building…read morecurrently occupied by The Scoop has been...probably eight different ice cream shops. And why not? It's the perfect little hut, situated just outside of Bala town, with its own dock and excellent views of Bala Bay. Unfortunately, none of these ice cream places ever seemed to be open in the middle of the summer at the height of cottage season. Until The Scoop. Purchased last year by a local college student and her brother, the hut received an adorable Canadian facelift -- red, white and brown paint -- revamped signage and a new life. The siblings take turns working each evening, greeting customers and proudly scooping delicious, Ontario-based Kawartha brand ice cream. A tiny Swedish berry in lieu of a cherry on your scoop is their quaint signature. We're *so* glad they've set up shop in Bala and wish them the best of luck for continuing success; cuz nothing beats grilling your dinner al fresco followed by a boat ride to town for frozen dessert.
