Seriously! I wanted to buy several flavours, but I got there at 4:30 and they only had 5 6 packs left, period! I have to say, they are ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC! Pastry is so flaky it falls as you're chowing down! The filling is just fantastic! Reading other Yelp reviews, I wish they'd brought the brownies and lemon bars, other vendors had other baked goods items! In addition, the womewho own it, 3 generations I think, are just the best! So kind, warm, friendly, even in the heat! They gave me 4 tarts FREE just to be nice! I highly recommend this establishment if you're in the area . I'll bet their sandwiches and other food is excellent too! Thank you ladies! Goddess of grammar is finished.... For now!

The wait was quite short. It turns out that the Butter Tart Factory is a pizza cafe/ bakery-dessert hybrid. Odd, but who cares if the butter tarts are amazing? The baked item cases showed a few breads and pies, but the butter tart case was low on stock. Could be a good sign, right? After pondering how to order pizza (sort of inside the same space and sort of separate?) we ordered one butter tart and hit the road. The tart tasted perfectly fine, with flaky crust, but the pastry to filling ratio is very disappointing for any butter tart lover. See photo. In our experience, this wasn't worth the stop.

This is a pretty popular ice cream spot for people visiting Huntsville. It used to be a total…read moremust-visit for our Muskoka trips, but lately a lot of their products are available at common grocery stores, so it is more of a "nice to stop by" place now. Still, if you are traveling north along Hwy-11, it is certainly a fun stop with a solid selection of tasty flavors. One heads up: the washrooms are outside the store, so just ask the staff if you need access when stopping by from a road trip to Muskoka.

The serving sizes are insane!…read more The smallest size would be Xl anywhere else. The 2 scoop size is pretty much a pint of ice cream. Not only are the portions gargantuan, but they taste great too! I had maple walnut and dockside cappuccino and they were amazing.

In a marina area it's tucked away and super cute. All they had that say were peanut butter cookies (we bought 8, they were amazing) and egg bites (also soooo good) and a muffin variety. The only reason they are getting a 4 is because they prices are high ($3 for 1 cookie...) and their espresso machine was down. Most of the staff was really nice. I will definitely come back next summer when they have more selection - including those butter tarts I've read so much about!!

The baguette was dreamy - light as a feather and sturdy at the same time, the perfect foil for an afternoon steak sandwich. The streudels - oh dear lord, were they heavenly. Don't choose between the ones with cream cheese and the standard fruit varieties, just get both. The butter tarts. Dear HEAVENS the butter tarts. Were they ever incredible. We have two gorgeous pies awaiting a visit to friends tomorrow and more treats for breakfast tomorrow. This is a destination bakery worth traveling for if you are in the Lake of Bays area. You won't find anything fresher with more variety and more delightful than this one. Just don't be impatient: you and everyone else will need loads of time to pick it all out!

Henrietta's Pine Bakery has been open for longer than I've been alive, and it's easy to see from…read morethe quality of their baked goods why it has stood the rest of time. This location is the newer of the two locations, and accommodates larger parties than the original Dwight location. Locals and tourists come here for the great selection of bread, sticky buns, cookies, and other baked goods. They also have a great selection of beverages including coffees and teas. We stopped at this Huntsville location on the way home from Algonquin Park as the Dwight location didn't have the pie I wanted. It turns out their apple pie is hugely popular as it was sold out at this store too. Staff were friendly and helpful, and suggested calling ahead or pre-ordering the apple pie as options in the future. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area.

We got stuff they are known for, and even with the heightened expectations, still came away completely in love. - Sticky Buns: May just be the best one I've had. It's really soft and moist, not sickeningly sweet, and a great value for its size and amazing taste. A definite winner. - Muskoka Cloud: I get why this is named a cloud. It's airy yet meaningful, almost like a soft and tender scone. And again, sweetness level is to perfection. - Nanaimo Bar: A bit too creamy for me, but I loved how strong the coconut taste was. Be prepared to line up and wait when you pass by Henrietta. The good thing? The lines are made up not just by tourists, but locals who stop by and wait to get their treats. Small town charm? Sure. But if locals lineup for something, you know it's good!
