The baguette was dreamy - light as a feather and sturdy at the same time, the perfect foil for an afternoon steak sandwich. The streudels - oh dear lord, were they heavenly. Don't choose between the ones with cream cheese and the standard fruit varieties, just get both. The butter tarts. Dear HEAVENS the butter tarts. Were they ever incredible. We have two gorgeous pies awaiting a visit to friends tomorrow and more treats for breakfast tomorrow. This is a destination bakery worth traveling for if you are in the Lake of Bays area. You won't find anything fresher with more variety and more delightful than this one. Just don't be impatient: you and everyone else will need loads of time to pick it all out!

This location is the newer of the two locations, and accommodates larger parties than the original Dwight location. Locals and tourists come here for the great selection of bread, sticky buns, cookies, and other baked goods. They also have a great selection of beverages including coffees and teas. We stopped at this Huntsville location on the way home from Algonquin Park as the Dwight location didn't have the pie I wanted. It turns out their apple pie is hugely popular as it was sold out at this store too. Staff were friendly and helpful, and suggested calling ahead or pre-ordering the apple pie as options in the future. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area.

The owner of my favorite bookstore across the street recommended it when I popped in the other day for some books - but needed a sandwich. I ordered one of the only sammies left -- a chicken, cheddar on a kind of focaccia (I think). The service was super friendly. The woman who waited on me heated up my sandwich for me. The chicken had a light sauce which was quite good, but the bread overwhelmed the sandwich -- so much so that I took the entire bottom piece off altogether. The place has a large seating area with a laid-back, coffee shop vibe -- although, a sign on my tables exhorted me to be respectful of others and take up the table for just 30 minutes. I was the only one there, apart from an older gentleman who looked to be practically napping in a nearby chair. Hmmm...perhaps they're busier at some other time? Morning, maybe?? The baked goods in the cabinet did look quite good. I would definitely go back.

Overall, if anyone wants to make a quick pitstop with a view and meet kind people, this is the place check out.

Everything looked beautiful and you could tell a lot of care goes into what they make. The smell of fresh baking hits you right away, and it took me forever to decide what to get because everything in the display looked amazing. The staff were also so kind and welcoming. They were patient while we looked through all the options and happy to answer questions. We ended up trying the sourdough strawberry cheesecake croissant and WOW. Honestly life-changing. The croissant was flaky and buttery, the strawberry cheesecake filling was rich without being too sweet, and the whole thing just worked perfectly together. Every bite was amazing. I also picked up their cheddar dill sourdough loaf and absolutely loved it. The bread was fresh, soft on the inside with a great crust, and had so much flavour. The cheddar and dill combination was delicious and made it stand out from a regular sourdough loaf. You can really tell they use quality ingredients and bake everything fresh. Overall, this place was a 10/10 for me. If you're in Parry Sound, I would absolutely recommend stopping by. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.
