We popped in on the way home as I love butter tarts and saw MANY amazing reviews on their famous tarts! The shop is quaint and small with a few freshly baked items behind a counter along with some prepared frozen foods, jams, etc. I grabbed a few tarts and a bear claw- honest review the tarts were good- but I do prefer mine with some nuts in them! The bear claw was delicious though. The tarts were very buttery- they seeped though the box on the hour plus ride home... read more

The Little Tub Bakery was located across the street from the B&B where I was staying, so I was excited to visit in the morning before going out on a day hike. Unfortunately, they were closed for most of my stay in the area and I could only visit on my last day. I picked up a box of 6 of their butter tarts, half original and half raisin. To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference between the two. I was a little disappointed with the butter tarts when I picked them up. Some looked burnt and they were all cold. I picked up the box of butter tarts at 10am, so it was just an hour after the bakery opened. I was disappointed when I bit into the first tart. The filling was extremely sticky and congealed and stuck to the roof of my mouth. It wasn't the gooey soft filling that I was expecting. read more

We were staying at a place nearby and we decided to check it out on our last day in the area since their hours are limited and every time we passed by previously, the store was closed. After our visit, we were disappointed that we didn't visit here sooner! I don't like butter tarts but these were amazing. I should've gotten 6 for $11. The main reason I didn't like all of the butter tarts that I have previously tried was because it tends to be too sweet. This place perfected it. I also enjoyed the parmesan and leek pastry as well. Next time, I'm definitely getting 6 butter tarts and their meat pies (they were still making it when we got there in the morning). read more

Go for the butter tarts and leave with something more. The spinach feta hand pie was excellent. Don't miss this place on the outskirts of town. read more

The sandwiches and pastries are fantastic, and the lone woman at the counter was incredibly nice while managing the lunch rush. Great coffee too. Lovely little spot for a quick lunch. The sandwiches were premade so it was very fast, but they tasted very fresh. Gorgeous brioche buns. read more

Cute little bakery just on the way back home from tobermory (about a 13 min drive from our Motel) we got there right around 9 am and there were quite a bit of people already inside!! My coworker recommended the tarts here and my only regret was not buying the 6 pack of tarts everything in the shop looked really good but we only picked up 2 individual tarts, spinach and cheese pastry, sausage and cheese breakfast pastry, and a pack of Cinnabon buns. The buns were super new to us. We're used to seeing the twirls with the icing on top. This place didn't have any but man they were freshhhhh and super soft. Def will come back here again but for sure will buy more stuff to bring back!! Btw the bakery is cash only! So come prepared read more

This is a cute bakery about 10 minutes before reaching Tobermory at Warner Bay Rd and Hwy 6. I came here for a quick breakfast twice during my stay in Tobermory and the pastries didn't disappoint. I tried the leek and parm strudel and the spinach and feta strudel. Both were nice and savoury. I had the hazelnut coffee which was pretty weak. The Colombian, on the other hand, was decent. Overall, it's a decent pit stop for those staying just outside of Tobermory. There's free parking and a picnic bench outside. Keep in mind, it's cash only. read more

Strudel, tarts, muffins, samosas topped up with a coffee- it was a perfect snack to grab and go. Very friendly customer service. You will not be disappointed! Easier to spot on route to Tobermory- sign not easily visible on the way back. read more

Best cinnamon buns - go early when they are still piping hot from the oven! Great cinnamon flavour and soft chewy texture. Also tried the spinach feta pastry and the strawberry rhubarb tart. Both good (but don't miss the cinnamon buns!) read more

This place might be easy to miss on Highway 6, but it's definitely worth a stop over. There were fresh pastries, from apple strudels, apple fritters, butter tarts, blueberry tarts and more! The pastries are delicious; very flakey and buttery! There's also rows and rows of cookies and different breads. The also do pizzas, sandwiches, and samosas. Great place to grabs some snacks for the road trip or hike! read more

Little Cove Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Tobermory, Ontario

There's a sign on the side of this cute bakery that reads, "best butter tarts in town", and it is the honest truth! We bought 6 (8.50, which is a great deal) and wish we had bought more. Buttery pastry and gooey filling make for an amazing tart! Make sure you are eating over a napkin or plate, as it can get messy. I normally hate raisins but will eat them in these delicious treats. Yes, that's how good they are! read more

Great lunch spot. Kids loved their fresh pizza by the slice. I enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich. But the tarts were amazing!! The butter raisin cannot be missed, but we also found the wild blueberry and raspberry to be exceptional. Friendly and helpful staff make this a must-stop if you're passing at the right time. read more

Best Nanaimo and Lemon Bars (just right...not to sweet!). The lady who served us was helpful and friendly, she even reminded my children to brush their teeth after eating their sweets! The store is very homey, you can really taste that the bread and pastries were homemade. read more

A Tobermory tradition! We've been going here for many, many summers and I hope they are around for many more years. Friendly staff, great gooey butter tarts, great pies and Nanaimo Bars. The jams and preserves are also very nice (and locally made I believe). Also good hotdog buns and rolls. read more
