    Getting out of the city can be hectic, but totally worth it to be surrounded by the rolling forests…read moreand lakes of muskoka. The Rosseau General Store has anything you might have forgotten to pack or unexpectedly need, and everything else to make your cottage weekend great. They have camp groceries, seasonal produce, gourmet ingredients, toys, games, hardware, maps, souvenirs, etc. Maybe grab a snack or fresh baked goods and enjoy it on a backyard bench, with a beautiful view of the lake. The store sits on the main village intersection. Hard to miss the beautiful store front with an antique carriage. Refill, restock, and refresh here.

    My family and I were at Rosseau driving through. My young teen needed to go to the bathroom badly…read moreso we stopped by Rosseau General Store. I asked the teen at the front desk to use the bathroom. She wouldn't allow him to use the employee bathroom even after I told him it's an emergency. She couldn't care less, rolled her eyes and just wanted the conversation to end - I told her I was willing to buy something too. After asking 3 times of asking and being rudely denied we left. Luckily a customer heard me asking and suggested a pizzeria down the street. We quickly went there and they allowed my son to use the bathroom without any questions Rosseau General Store needs to do better. They should be embarrassed for not allowing a customer use the bathroom in an emergency. I hope the manager can watch the cctv video and talk to the female employee. Do better

    Again, was not disappointed! Stopped by for lunch with a friend. Ordered the same chicken club on…read moreGF bread since it was so good last time. This time I also tried a salad on the side that was like a vinaigrette slaw made from mainly cauliflower - it was delicious and flavourful. My friend got the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and said it was excellent! We were able to eat outside which was so nice. We both agreed, we'll be back next time we're in the neighbour.

    Cottage Cravings only recently came to Bala after a fire at their original Gravenhurst location…read more last year left them looking for a new space. But I'm so glad they landed in our tiny, sleepy town: CC is about as close as it gets to a one-stop shop here. There aren't a lot of places where you can grab a coffee and sandwich, pick up cheese and charcuterie to take home, or grab wall art or dish towels for the cottage. I appreciate that the products here are so thoughtfully selected as well. Cottage decor can teeter on kitschy, but the selection at CC -- technicolor enameled outdoor dining sets, lake-themed hooked rugs, craftsman birdhouses -- is tasteful as well as fun. Popsicle makers and painted martini glasses give ideas. Food from local vendors means you don't have to wait for next week's farmers market to pick up those jams or condiments. And a bounty of healthful dining options from veggie paninis to fresh soups make a quick, delicious lunch. CC definitely makes a great addition to our little hamlet.

    We stopped by this ice cream shop for dessert and we're really happy with our experience…read more 1) This place is popular and always has a line. 2) They have lots of options to cater to everyone's needs. They have meals, desserts, ice-cream, smoothies, coffee, tea and bubble tea. 3) The line moved really fast. The Food: We ordered an ice cream and smoothie with boba. I love this new trend because I love boba and my boyfriend loves ice-cream. It makes it really easy to accommodate both of us when we try to satisfy our sweet tooth's. - Smoothie with boba: I ordered a mango banana smoothie with boba after I found our the bubble tea mix had dairy in it. I was very happy with this option and it tasted great. It was made with less sugar than boba typically is (score) and had my tapioca pearls. It was delicious and I would order this again. - Moosetraps Ice-Cream: My boyfriend really enjoyed his ice-cream. He thought it was delicious and the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Would we go back? Absolutely!

    Great place! I visited the Gravenhurst area and the waterfront and I was quite impressed with the…read morequality of food and desserts from here. I'm not a local to the area, but from what some of the locals tell me, this place is one of the go-to places for fast Asian food and desserts, especially bubble tea.. so much so that some days, the tapioca runs out for the day. The food menu also switches up regularly I hear so there's always something new to try. I tried the fresh fruit shakes here and the ice cream cones and I loved them! For sure this place doesn't compare to some of the places you'll find in the GTA, but it's pretty great for the area. I'm definitely coming back here next time I'm in the area.
