This absolutely GEM is incredible!! I started working in…read moreBarrie a few months ago and have been dropping into Cal's almost every week! I am addicted to their Donairs and have been buying their frozen products weekly! This is by far the best gluten free bakery/restaurant ever! It's safe and completely gluten free!! I am so lucky to be able to drop in so often! There are too many amazing things to list but if you have not tried them.....please do!!!! They are amazing!!!!!!

Val's is a *very good* dedicated gluten free bakery. They have many and more treats that I love…read morehere. Great muffins, and tarts, and brownies, and crinkle cookies, etc. a few misses for me (under spiced pumpkin pie tarts?), but that probably just a personal preference issue. I have not yet had a chance to try their bread, which I'd very much like to do, but they are always out when I go in. Because the bread is so good that they always sell out? Or because they don't make enough? Probably a little of column A and a little of column B.

Never seen such laziness in my life. Not only did my bagel take forever ( pretty sure they served…read moreabout 5-6 cars while I waiting inside) but I asked for a bagel with cream cheese. Light on the cream cheese... She put cream cheese on only half the bagel.. Really?

I come here everyday and not sure if I should continue. There is a man who works drive thru early…read moremorning. This man never smiles never makes small talk while I am waiting. Then along with him is a girl with blonde hair and she never smiles. The other day she pulled the debt machine out of my hands and seems to be more concentrated on being super fast then customer service. My child says hi to everyone usualy and they are too busy to say a thing. I get it I use to work drive thru and I know you need to be quick but sometimes you are the first person someone see before they go to work. So not being happy or smiling can have a ripple effect. I have also had my order screwed up so many time too.

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.

Unfortunately I am rating this one stars for a reason. For price point, please review my menu pictures the cafe environment has changed since the last set of reviews. When you order the menu is very detailed but no photo to show size (but that's why we have yelp). When ordered the strawberry cheese cake crepe. I watched the order made. The crepe was undercooked and thick. The undercook was attributed with the thick layer of batter placed down. The cheese cake filling was a cheese cake and sour creme with vanilla and lots of sugar. The plate itself was cheese cake, but in a crepe, I think the cream cheese could have been batched fresh with yogurt for a lighter filling than this premade stuff or fold in some whip cream to lighten it up. And even a fold of strawberry syrup would have made the crepe taste like a strawberry cheese cake crepe. It had fresh strawberries but will honestly give a sour taste. The dessert was glazed with caramel. The washrooms are located in the back but wasn't stocked with hand soap. It's a nice date location but crepes could use enhancement. I dont think I would return for the crepe, maybe will try a coffee drink next time.

If only I could give a negative star rating. I've supported Homestead Bakery for a long time, but…read moretoday's experience was deeply disappointing and showed a complete disregard for fairness and customer integrity. I called ahead to ask if they could hold a sourdough loaf. I was told they had six left, it was "fairly slow," but no holds--first come, first serve. Fair enough. I made the trip over and stood in line, only to watch the customer in front of me get the last loaf. She mentioned she was also told the same thing over the phone. Again, I accepted that--she was ahead of me. Then the real issue: behind the counter was a bag clearly labeled "Alex" with loaves being held--despite their "no holds" policy. When questioned, the staff admitted they were reserving them for a "long-time customer." So the rules apparently only apply to some people. That's not just bad business--that's unethical.
