Found this place by looking for a local coffee shop. This place is a bakery shop, but I went every morning for a cup of fresh brewed coffee. Also bought a box of butter tart qty 6, had one tart as I walked out. Went back in and bought another box. Butter tart had no raisins I love tarts without raisins!. Flaky on the outside, and buttery, caramelized filling!
Amazing place to stop by if you’re visiting Tobermory. Delicious baked goods and sandwiches for quick bite. Butter tart and eclairs are highly recommended
A must visit place in Tobermory. If you're having a craving for some chocolate try their chocolate or raspberry chocolate pastries. My favorite is definitely the cherry vanilla pastry. The flavors just explode in your mouth and the pastry is done just right. Their egg sandwiches are perfect for a hot summer lunch. Visited 2 days in a row and both days got their chocolate donuts. They are small with filling and the kids love them. They have just enough chocolate to satisfy cravings without giving a sugar high. Their croissants are light and buttery and great for breakfast. I'd visit Tobermory just to visit this place. The owner is a very friendly and sweet person. Must be because of all the sweet stuff she gets to make. Taking some home with us.
Amazing location! You have to try the local coffee so much better than the big brands and their delicious pastries. Also picked up a jam jar and butter tarts which were absolutely yum!
When we went up to place our order for 6 butter tarts, I blurted out we would like a dozen butter tarts instead. That turned out to be a premonition, because after we polished off the 6, we went back to get 6 more. They're what butter tarts should be: thick and gooey not liquid in the centre, with chewy bits of butterscotch on the side and top. Instead of heavy molasses and corn syrup, I tasted a lot of buttery creamy goodness. The pastry shell is flakey, crumbly and substantial, holding its own against the filling. These are the most satisfying butter tarts I've had in a very long time! The raspberry and chocolate pastry is also scrumptious. Perfect balance. I also got a second one of that with our second batch of butter tarts.
There is nothing so special about this place. It is rundown bakery with few options and a grumpy keeper!
Unfortunately, the new owners of this establishment are not carrying forward the great standards of their predecessors. Some of the most popular offerings, like the breakfast pizza and quiches, are no longer offered. The breakfast sandwich see pic was mushy and unappetizing, and the tarts are very average for a bakery; not at all spectacular like they used to be. Most importantly, we found their attitude to be a little snarky, and neither warm nor welcoming. UPDATE: They greatly improved their game last summer. They now DO include breakfast pizza, and the all-important attitude and friendliness was vastly improved. This is once again a must-do experience if you are venturing up to the top of the beautiful peninsula.
"What's all the hype?" I thought as I read other reviews. I had the chance to visit this bakery myself and I must say, this little tub has big flavour. They really do the baked goods thing well. I had the cherry tart and the flakiness of that crust was perfection. Very flakey yet moist. A balance that eludes many bakeries. And surprisingly they carried this craft into their pizzas! This pizza was on point. I was surprised to have found a pizza of this caliber outside of a major city. My only criticism is the slice I had was slightly overcooked at the edge so my last bite tasted a bit burnt. But I would not let that dissuade me from coming back and getting their pizza again. Not pictured here but also eaten was the raisin butter tart. Which was also really solid. I'm not a fan them regularly but I can appreciate the quality of this one. They also had a raisin bread that I had for breakfast on a hike. The bread had a good springyness to it like a marshmallow but not as soft. It reenergized my body with every bite like I'd imagine a senzu bean would. The only thing lacking and due to my own error was a nice cup of coffee to enjoy it with. Also, the next day I had the daily special which was Mac and cheese. This was no Kraft dinner mind you. The cheese in this was so velvety and really hit the spot for when you want to indulge in comfort food. Long story short, this is another reason to come to Tobermory aside from the Grotto.
Probably the best butter tarts I've tasted. Pastry was perfect. Melt in your mouth delicious. The filling has just the right amout of gooey yumminess. Also had a pizza slice and the crust was crispy yet chewy. So good! Ended up picking up butter tarts again on our way out to bring back for friends as well!!
Their blueberry cheese danish and brownies were the best. Satisfaction to my sweet tooth. Very friendly staff, i would highly recommend this place
