This time I also tried a salad on the side that was like a vinaigrette slaw made from mainly cauliflower - it was delicious and flavourful. My friend got the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and said it was excellent! We were able to eat outside which was so nice. We both agreed, we'll be back next time we're in the neighbour.

Cottage Cravings only recently came to Bala after a fire at their original Gravenhurst location…read more last year left them looking for a new space. But I'm so glad they landed in our tiny, sleepy town: CC is about as close as it gets to a one-stop shop here. There aren't a lot of places where you can grab a coffee and sandwich, pick up cheese and charcuterie to take home, or grab wall art or dish towels for the cottage. I appreciate that the products here are so thoughtfully selected as well. Cottage decor can teeter on kitschy, but the selection at CC -- technicolor enameled outdoor dining sets, lake-themed hooked rugs, craftsman birdhouses -- is tasteful as well as fun. Popsicle makers and painted martini glasses give ideas. Food from local vendors means you don't have to wait for next week's farmers market to pick up those jams or condiments. And a bounty of healthful dining options from veggie paninis to fresh soups make a quick, delicious lunch. CC definitely makes a great addition to our little hamlet.

We didn't find what we were looking for but we did purchase a solar butterfly wind chime for Mother's Day!

A few other customers were talking about how hot it was in there as well.

I'd look forward to stocking up on the goodies they'd recommend. I'm going to skip this store on my future visits.

You can join a tour or you can just walk around a little and see the marsh. There is also a few hiking/snowshoeing trails which you need to get a pass from the gift shop in order to visit year round. In the gift shop, you can get fresh cranberries and their products. Here fruits is made into wines. Tasting is $5. Beautiful grounds!

Really like this place to find unique gifts. They have a great selection at very reasonable prices.read more
