Great service and great cupcakes!…read more Owner was very kind, helpful, and worked very quickly to ensure a great birthday treat for my son who lives in Peterborough. And from what I understand, it only took about two hours for he and his four roommates to eat 24 cupcakes - that's how good they were! Would definitely recommend.

When this business was The Buttertart Factory, it was amazing. I'm not quite sure what's going on,…read morebut the standards have fallen drastically while the prices have climbed. It's very disappointing. For a while, I lived for their apple fritters. In May of 2024, I discovered that they no longer put apples in their apple fritters -- perhaps as a cost-saving measure. My family purchased half a dozen fritters, which turned out to be nothing but large slabs of dough with a cinnamon glaze. In June, all varieties of fritters (thankfully) appear to have been removed from the menu. The butter tarts, which once had a flaky pastry and an insanely good, buttery filling, have become worse than the generic tarts found in a No Frills supermarket. Clearly, costs are clearly being cut. Worst of all, the location (in Druro) has added an extremely pricey take-out stand. One of my friends paid a whopping 16 dollars for a chicken burger. No fries, no drink: just a piece of lettuce, a tomato, a gob of mayo and (an admittedly large) slice of fried chicken on a bun. I believe that the owners see this as an easy money grab, as they serve those commuting to Bancroft and back during cottage season. You'd think that for 16 dollars a pop for a chicken burger the owners would provide more than an outhouse to customers. You'd also hope that they'd make sure the outhouse was serviced often enough to prevent feces from piling to the rim. Nope. For obvious reasons, I will be ending my patronage of this establishment.

Last time I was personally in I could even hear what sounded like dogs in the back - disgusting. The treats I have had (cupcakes and cookies) have always been VERY dry and I assume several days old. The straw that broke the camels back which has made me write this review was a cupcake bought for me by a girlfriend this week. The icing was stale, which i could overlook, however when I bit into the cake itself there was a HUGE egg shell piece which sliced my gum right open. Very displeased to say the least. Will not be returning and would never recommend

The mussels were perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious! The pizza was also a contender for the favourite, the dough is so good, there's a satisfying crunch to it and just amazing when you add some chilli flakes. We dined in the covered patio this time and it was nice to feel a little breeze come through by my legs. The inside where we dined last time was also really cozy. The grocery area closes at six on Sundays so we didn't get to peruse the aisles this time but some good finds there too! Service was also great, our server was attentive and nice.

If you have a family member who can't eat gluten, you'd understand the frustration of trying to…read morefind gluten-free baked goods that actually taste decent. This situation is all the harder when it comes to a cake for a special occasion, such as a birthday. So, for all of her young years, my 11-year-old daughter couldn't enjoy a baked gluten-free cake worthy of a birthday celebration...until we found Baked4U! Wow! Were we blown over! First of all, this daughter of mine also happens to be very artistic. When she heard that we would actually ORDER her a baked birthday cake, she went ahead to find an exact design that she wanted as decorations. She picked her colours, shapes, overall presentation, plus options in case the baker refused to work with her ideas. When I called Baked4U, Janet answered. To my surprise, she patiently took down all the specifications, added a few suggestions, repeated them over the phone, and corresponded over email to confirm everything. Regarding decorations alone, Janet spent at least half an hour in discussion! In the end, she created a most satisfactory result! The moment my daughter saw the cake, her eyes lighted up, and she smiled with true delight. The birthday girl spent some time studying the cake and then added, "Look! The baker even added extra flowers!" Thank you, Janet! Then, during the party, we--kids and adults alike--tried the cake. There was silence all around as everyone waited in anticipation of its taste. For the first few seconds, we heard, "Hmm...". For the next few seconds: "This is good!" Finally, one of the kids blurted out loud, "I want this cake for MY birthday!" Success it was indeed! Phew! Are we ever glad we ordered from Baked4U! The cake has a unique texture. First of all, it's heavy, though not dense or doughy. The batter rose evenly, and is moist throughout. It's not crumbly and dry at all, like most gluten-free cakes I've tried. My daughter also chose the flavour of chocolate, and I have no idea how chocolate was added, but it tasted very rich, very real in this cake. No compromise in flavours! Altogether, we found nothing amiss or overdone in taste. It was truly wonderful! Finally, though the icing was on the sweeter side of our preference, it was made with butter, and when taken in small portions alongside the cake, the combination was very good! Plus, we knew that if we wanted the sort of decorations we had asked for, the icing had to carry a certain amount of sugar in it for volume and hold. What a relief for a parent to have finally found a dazzling, delectable gluten-free birthday cake for a child! How extremely difficult this search is, but Baked4U has proven talent extraordinaire! We'll be coming back!
