    This place is amazing. I didn't know it existed until very recently, and now it will likely become…read morea staple on my way through Barrie. Their doughnuts are great, and baked in house right away. This means that if you're waiting for something at opening, you may have to wait a few extra minutes. For examples, their dipped donut holes were the last thing to come out when I was there. And, their dipped doughnut holes are the way to go, if you want a box with a variety of flavours. You could eat one of their four dollar doughnuts, and if you do - have the strawberry cream - but each of them is the size of two or three doughnuts from any other place. This isn't a four dollar doughnut that leaves you feeling empty, it's a four dollar doughnut that leaves you wondering how you're possibly going to finish eating it! But, the doughnut holes, the dipped ones, they're amazing. They're the right size to eat a variety, and not feel overfull. The thing that terrifies me is they have so many savory options, too. How am I supposed to eat everything I want? I'll need to make a number of return trips. And, they're dairy free. Which is great for allergies, and lifestyle choices. Love it. Love it. Love it!

    Tasty donuts full of flavour. The dough is fluffy and the serving itself is large. Service was…read moregood, helpful with recommendations.

    I've been coming here for 40 years. It's always been a must visit every time we come to Muskoka…read more But what has happened to this beloved bakery??!! The quality of the food has plummeted! The scones were dry. The tarts were soggy and the filling tasted like it came out of can. I ask one of my Muskoka neighbors about it and was told that they moved the operations to a factory bakery in Barrie and freeze all the bakery items. They put a few loaves of scones in the locate bakery's old oven to make it smell like it's baked there not NOTHING is baked there anymore. I'm so saddened by this. If the owner reads this, PLEASE return to the old recipes and bake onsite again.

    Last summer, new owners took over Don's when the original owners retired. They kept everything the…read moresame last summer, much to everyone's relief. Don's has been serving up their phenomenal baked goods in Bala for over 60 years, and no one wanted new ownership to change that. This summer, however, Don's is rocking a new, more streamlined look, and a slew of new baked goods -- on top of the much loved staples including scones, eclairs, and butter tarts. But they've added (to name just a few): - Chop Suey bread - Sausage rolls - Boston cream donuts - Bala Bites (small old-fashioned donuts) - Coconut cream pie - Bath buns - Cinnamon crullers - Eccles cakes - Apple canoes - Chocolate babka (the superior babka!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i78azsi7M94) So improving on the near-perfect *can* be done...

    Went and ordered 2 bacon chicken ranch wraps, wedges and a coffee in the drive thru. Got my order…read moreand a wrap was missing. Went into the restaurant and let them know. The person at the counter (Chiara) was great and very helpful. She said the person on the sandwich bar would make it for me. That staff person totally ignored it and went on to make food for everyone that came after me. I asked for my money back and was told that I would need the physical card to get a refund for my food (I kept the coffee). I didn't have the physical card as I had paid with the scan and pay option. Eventually a man named Mark came over and tried to help. He was very pleasant and did his best. I told him that I just wanted a refund and couldn't wait as I had to get back to work. Mark explained again about the card, so I said that I'd just take new food and go. Mark said that was fine, and they'd make it a priority so I didn't have to wait. I was good with this. Then a staff comes over and says it's going to be 9 minutes for wedges. Mark offered my hash browns, but I was so frustrated at this point that I just left. No refund, no food - and still late getting back to work. Mark and Chiara did their best. The sandwich bar person should be fired. Horrible customer service. I won't be going back to this Tim Hortons. Not worth the aggravation.

Bitter and nasty. Also it seems the staff doesn't even know what's on their own menu. Wife tried to order wedges / fries and they didn't know what that was. Also wife tried to get a drink with alternative milk and they claim they don't do that (on a subsequent visit they have alt milks listed on their menu).

    We went last weekend, it was a lot of people and kids there. This is a huge farm that lots of…read morevarieties to pick. Now it's a good time to pick strawberries, raspberry, blueberries, peas, and corns. There are wagons to take ppl from one field to another. We got off at the strawberry field, but we don't really into the strawberry, so just took a look; then we got to the raspberry field, they looked good, but we barely eat raspberry; then we went to the Blueberry field, our destination was here. We saw another side of the field was having big blueberries, but they didn't open that side to us. And they said it was noon already, most of the big ones had been picked. I tasted a few, they were sort of big, but soured. We moved to other sides, but still the same. When we went home, most of them we made smoothies with honey. We also went to the peas field, not too many people. The peas were so sweet that we could eat them raw. But we went home to boil them with the skin, the skin was hard to eat, it was not snow peas, and too expensive when weighed with the skin. Good experience for the kids. They were happy.

    Delicious strawberries, great value for a day activity with kids. The blueberries and strawberries…read moreare low to ground and very kid friendly height for pick your own. The blueberries were plentiful but small and not that sweet. However the strawberries were so juicy and delicious. You pay $9 per person (6 and under are free), then after you pick, you show your receipt and they deduct what you paid. So as long as you pick at least $9 worth, there's technically no entry fee. We somehow managed to pick under and was asked if we wanted to go back and pick more but was too lazy to. There are 2 different tractors that take you - one to the blueberries. The other to the apples, sweet corn, raspberries, strawberries. There weren't many raspberries to pick, and no one else was there probably for that reason. You can bring your own baskets, otherwise they have plenty and you can pay for them. The tractor wagon ride was very long and enjoyable for kids. They have a little playground area and lots of picnic tables. We tried the apple cinnamon froyo which was one of the flavours (the other ones were rasberry and blueberry). The apple cinnamon flavour was unlike anything i have ever tasted. A bit sour, very cinnamony, and sweet. It tasted like apple pie in a froyo. Overall it was great value!
