First thing first, Bluebarn is a roaster. Bluebarn sells awesome coffee. Delicious coffee. Aromatic coffee. Rich coffee. Wake me up coffee. Get the idea? If you love you what you drink, you can buy a bag of its ground coffee blend in store AND in the local grocery store. Secondly, Bluebarn serves decent breakfast and lunch entrees. A paled down diner of sort. I find the spinach cheese pastery okay/decent. For better pasteries, see my review for Pipolinka Bakery. Last and not least, Bluebarn is a beautiful venue. Simple decoration. Airy, pleasant yet functional. An oasis from the hustles of the outside world. Yet also a perfect place to park your laptop for a day's work (Free WiFi).

Stopped in on Canada Day for lunch. We were sat immediately and service was great throughout our…read moremeal. I rarely see Steak Tartare on a menu so I ordered that and enjoyed it, especially whatever sauce they put on the side. Speaking of sauces, the fries came with a side sauce that was also tasty. Vichyssoise was excellent, too! I loved the blackboard drawings and all the owl paraphernalia, too. All in all, a good meal, experience and without booze we had two nice lunches for around $40 pre-tip. Nice!

From the moment we got there, everyone was super accommodating despite the fact that we were like 2 minutes from the kitchen closing. No worries, got our dinner and drinks orders in quickly and service was just awesome. The food came out and we were blown away. You may wonder how a veggie burger and a hamburger could be that awesome but they were. My wife had a side salad with watermelon and mint that she demolished. I had the sirloin burger that was perfectly cooked with a side of garlic aioli that was to die for. The food here is awesome. Nothing to smack talk about and the service from Valerie was extraordinary. If you're in Wakefield, come here for sure.

Other than that, it's a lovely spot. I especially like that they always have great gift options available, like jams, cakes, and curated baskets. J'aime beaucoup le matcha ici. I'm est bon et ils ont aussi une carte de fidélité, ce qui est un beau petit plus. Ma seule petite critique, c'est qu'il reste parfois quelques grumeaux de poudre au fond. Sinon, c'est un très bel endroit. J'aime particulièrement qu'ils aient toujours de belles options cadeaux comme des confitures, des gâteaux et des paniers gourmands.

At Christmas in 2025, we went to pick up our Christmas log. Despite having paid in November, they had lost the order, and almost refused serving us, despite showing proof of our purchase. The prices keep going up, and the cakes have been shrunk. After over twenty years of patronage, we are going to do business elsewhere. What a shame after having previously set high standards for quality, taste and service. The customers keep your business going. You depend on us, not the other way around.

Looks like I'm first up, so I better make it count! So…read morehere's a brief history, I like sticky buns and I cannot lie, the other brothers can't deny, that Packenham had the best in the space, till the recipe ended up in Carleton place. Plagiarized raps out of the way, here's my review... We heard that CP general store had amazing sticky buns and were further intrigued when rumours circulated that they had the recipe from the OG Packenham General store. We made two attempts to drive the CP to get them but the staff who was there said that they didn't have them at the time we went. I called on a Saturday morning and asked if they could put some aside.... Not only did she put some aside, she was kind enough to remember us and put a bow and ribbon on this really nice gift box for my son. We got a few other things as well, they had cheese sticks, a couple of seltzer type drinks and the butter tarts. Lemme first talk about the butter tarts - they are unlike any other butter tart and I don't think I can get them from anywhere else now - they were so delicious and although sweet, the pack of 6 disappeared over two days. Now for the sticky buns: holy shit so good, you gotta get them! That's all I gotta say - just gooey and delectable! The staff - five star! The entrance is a shared entrance with a gift and antique store so overall a really nice experience. The Carleton Place General Store gets 5 stars from me.

I also took home an apple turnover but haven't tried it yet. You can order other savory items for lunch. There is a freezer for take home items. There are several tables that are always busy. The French music isn't too loud but quite nice. I introduced my friend to it who didn't know about it and she thanked the owner stating that Kanata/Stittsville needs more bakeries. We both left pleased. She also had an ice latte and an almond croissant. She gave it 5 stars. The prices are up there but competitive with similar places. Cleanliness is hard to keep up on when the bakery is full of people but they tried. The water jug up front never got refilled and that was the only thing I was missing as my cup never got to see any water. All good. We will be back.
