The lunch menu is predominantly breakfasts, and sandwiches/wraps/tartines (open faced fried sandwiches). Very delicious vegetarian tartine and roast beef tartine which included fries and coleslaw at very reasonable prices and generous portions. We broke down and ordered a chocolate and orange gluten-free mousse cake, and a favourite of mine-carrot cake. Both were fabulous - all made in-house! The ambiance is pleasant, if a bit labyrinthine and the staff efficient and friendly. We will be back!

We came in on a Saturday morning expecting a nice breakfast, but unfortunately had a very…read moredisappointing experience. After being seated, we waited 20 minutes just to receive menus. We eventually had to ask for them ourselves, only to be told they had to "find more menus." That was the first sign that things weren't running well. An hour later, we still hadn't received any food. When we asked how much longer it would be, we were simply told, "A few more minutes." At that point, we decided to leave without ever being served our meal. To make matters worse, I had to ask twice just to get my coffee refilled. What was most disappointing was the lack of customer service. When we informed the staff that we were leaving because we had been waiting so long, there was no apology, no acknowledgment of the inconvenience, and no attempt to make the situation right. This is the first time in my life I have ever left a restaurant. Long waits can happen, especially on busy weekends, but poor communication and a complete lack of concern for customers are much harder to overlook. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we won't be returning. If I could leave zero stars I would.

Unfortunately only the plain butter tarts were left. We grabbed a couple to try out. They are not of the real gooey variety fyi -- but still quite nice, the pastry really flaky. Do give this place a try and I think next time, I would try some of their other treats, like date squares or lemon bars.

When this business was The Buttertart Factory, it was amazing. I'm not quite sure what's going on,…read morebut the standards have fallen drastically while the prices have climbed. It's very disappointing. For a while, I lived for their apple fritters. In May of 2024, I discovered that they no longer put apples in their apple fritters -- perhaps as a cost-saving measure. My family purchased half a dozen fritters, which turned out to be nothing but large slabs of dough with a cinnamon glaze. In June, all varieties of fritters (thankfully) appear to have been removed from the menu. The butter tarts, which once had a flaky pastry and an insanely good, buttery filling, have become worse than the generic tarts found in a No Frills supermarket. Clearly, costs are clearly being cut. Worst of all, the location (in Druro) has added an extremely pricey take-out stand. One of my friends paid a whopping 16 dollars for a chicken burger. No fries, no drink: just a piece of lettuce, a tomato, a gob of mayo and (an admittedly large) slice of fried chicken on a bun. I believe that the owners see this as an easy money grab, as they serve those commuting to Bancroft and back during cottage season. You'd think that for 16 dollars a pop for a chicken burger the owners would provide more than an outhouse to customers. You'd also hope that they'd make sure the outhouse was serviced often enough to prevent feces from piling to the rim. Nope. For obvious reasons, I will be ending my patronage of this establishment.

The dreamers cookie tastes a little different from what I remember, the caramel is a little more runny than before, but the flavours were on point!
