On the way to find a late lunch in town, we walked past this place ..... and then immediately…read moreturned around and went inside. The reason? A sign I could not resist: "CHOCOLATE COVERED BUTTER TARTS." Yes please. Inside, it's a very charming chocolate shop, with a lot of different creations. They've got shelves and pretty displays of candy, a large quantity of fudge (which actually seems to be one of their specialities, they offer free samples) and then a lot of truffles and other chocolate covered things. So, we picked up a couple of chocolate covered tarts. They have a variety of tarts and coverings. I had a plain tart with a salted caramel chocolate covering, and Lee had a plain chocolate and butter tart. One minus is the checkout is a little chaotic. There were a group of kids waiting, and it was a little confusing who was serving who, but we got it all sorted out. Later, we had these for dessert. Chocolate covered was a little bit of a misnomer. They're more chocolate topped, and the chocolate, while tasty, was a thick disc covering the top, which made it a little awkward to eat. I ended up just eating the disc separately. However, it was delicious, and that awkwardness shouldn't dissuade you from giving this place a try.

A must if you're in the area!…read more Honestly one of the best ice cream places I've been to. The scoops are so generous, a single scoop is plenty (and I usually get a double). I tried the blue raspberry sorbet (dairy free) and lavender lemonade first to share. Both were delicious that I had to go back for more! I'm so glad I did because I got pistachio almond, which was the best flavour imo. I find many places don't do pistachio well. Sometimes it tastes "soapy". But here, it didn't have that and tasted like real pistachio. That's probably because they had tons of crushed pistachios and almonds in the ice cream. So good!! Highly recommend this place. They have other treats like milkshakes, sundaes, banana splits, butter tarts and more!

Homely ice cream shop near the beach…read more Joye's Ice Cream Parlor has been serving affordable Kawartha treats beside Minet's Point Park for a long time. We found the large "ice cream" sign and parked at the front after a beach day. Entering this shop, we were instantly transported back decades. The interior was dated while the wall was plastered with past customer photos, antiques & nostalgic artwork. On menu were Kawartha ice creams for $4 for a single scoop kids cone, $5 for 2 scoops, and $6 for 3 scoops. We were able to replace the regular cone with a plastic cup. Chocolate moosetrack, vanilla & bubble gum flavors were creamy just as we remembered. Waffle cone was $1 more but they ran out of milk and didn't have milkshake. The young staff was courteous. Skip it or hit it? It's a neat dessert stop for a blast from the past.

Because this is in the heart of the Blue Mountain village, I fully expected high prices and mediocre snacks. I was really taken by how delicious the baklava and portugese tarts were!! I'm sad that we live so far away because it was probably the best baklava I have had. Coupled with extremely fair prices for such a central tourist spot, and a beautiful view of the mountain, this might be worth another visit next time we are in town! Clean bathrooms, bright and roomy space. Friendly staff at front.

The cafe has an amazing selection of exquisite pastries and hand crafted drinks. Some of the menu items that caught our eye were the dubai chocolate croissant, the croque monsieur croissant, and a coconut cream pastry. We tried the freddo espresso bc it was the first time we saw it on a menu. It was such an interesting drink! It consists of espresso frothed only with ice and it has such a creamy texture that you'd be hard pressed to believe that it is just espresso and ice. Another noteworthy point is that ambiance - such a gorgeous interior with cream and wood themes and greenery. Absolutely loved their decor. I believe this is the second location for the owner who was just absolutely lovely. We're here for the week and will be visiting again, if not daily!

They also serve different types of Afternoon Tea. They also sell breads like Sour Dough ($12.00) and French Baguette ($4.50) for takeout. We ordered the following: 1. Nutella Croissant ($6.95). 2. Flat White (small $4.95). They charge the normal 13% HST, but there is an extra 3% resort fee! Both the croissant and coffee were good. The service was good. Some people make reservations for their favourite tables. They certainly make sure every is clean and chairs aligned. Four of us were sitting around a very small round table, so I put my camera case and bag on top of a neighbouring table (they were only 20% full). My wife told me they were staring at me. After I took it off and put them on the floor under my seat, they cleaned the table; must clean off any dirt I might have on my stuff! They have been open for 3 years. They allow photos using a phone but not a DSLR. They said they would charge $250 for me to take photos. One staff member recommended I speak to the owner. The owner was concerned that I take photos of his prices: this makes not sense since I can also do it with my phone! He finally allowed me to take photos of just the food, and he asked the staff to take it out for me onto a table! I was thankful! There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is free WiFi. The patisserie is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom. There is free parking in the resort. There are two high chairs for little children. Review 2024-203

Full Tea for 2 ($65) includes: Tea, savory mini sandwiches, assorted sweets, whipped cream, assorted fruits. ** They didn't have mini sandwiches, but we got to choose a hot pressed sandwich from the bakery display, and they sliced it for us ^^ I'd also recommend: * Lychee Green Tea (teapot) * Roast Beef Mushroom Melt * Brie, Arugula, Prosciutto Be sure to make a reservation via phone for afternoon tea experience. Good for small groups of 2-3 people :) Limited indoor seating, outdoor patio also available. I personally think the afternoon tea experience is still very new, still need to work out some kinks. Overall, food was delicious, and my family had a lovely time together :)
