However, lately there has been a problem with seating. You get your food and coffee and, although there are not many people in the store, you can't find a seat because there are a bunch of people who sit there for hours, using the free wifi, and not even pretending to be eating or drinking anything. They have long finished but are parked there with their phones and laptops, conducting their business. Complaints to management went nowhere. They shrug their shoulders and say "Yeah, it's the free wifi". Surely a company this big can manage to develop software that kick you off the system after half an hour and won't let you log back on until later. It is very annoying so even though I actually like this store, I will only give it 3 stars.

The wait was quite short. It turns out that the Butter Tart Factory is a pizza cafe/ bakery-dessert hybrid. Odd, but who cares if the butter tarts are amazing? The baked item cases showed a few breads and pies, but the butter tart case was low on stock. Could be a good sign, right? After pondering how to order pizza (sort of inside the same space and sort of separate?) we ordered one butter tart and hit the road. The tart tasted perfectly fine, with flaky crust, but the pastry to filling ratio is very disappointing for any butter tart lover. See photo. In our experience, this wasn't worth the stop.

And they only have a bit of organic guar gum to keep the ice cream all silky smooth. Many other ice creams including Kawartha have carageenan in them which is not good for us at all. After speaking with the lovely owner who is a chef (all ice cream made ON PREMISES) we learned that a few shops carry this ice cream (2 places in Scarborough ON and also The Royal York hotel). After an absolutely terrible and underwhelming and laughably overpriced lunch at Local this was a great reward.

Belly was located across the street from our Air Bnb during our weekend stay in Huntsville. And…read moreeach night we looked covetously over at Belly as we pulled into our driveway, arriving too late from dinner to get there before they closed. It was a priority of mine to finally visit Belly our last evening but then the time started slipping away from us. We thought all was lost after it turned 8, but then we serendipitously looked over our brochure for Belly again and noticed that on Saturdays they closed at 9. We hustled over, only to have the doors close on us at 8:59. The manager told my daughter she'd already started putting covers on the ice cream. And then I begged and said it was our last night and she responded that she couldn't say no. So of course we each got lots of samples. Kidding! The Kiddie scoops followed the usual trend in Ontario of ridiculously large scoops of ice cream. At Kawartha Dairy where we ate the day before, a Kiddie was like a large where we live in the San Francisco Bay Area. This time the Kiddie was more like the size of a Medium. (A Medium at an artisan creamery in the Bay Area is $8.50 American compared to this Kiddie $3.50 Canadian.) The two Kiddie scoops were a bargain and easily fed the four of us. My daughter earlier had pored over the Belly brochure we had at our Air Bnb, and requested the Blueberry Lavender. Even though it wasn't in the case, the manager had a container just behind her! (Unfortunately they didn't also have the Sticky Toffee Pudding Flavor I also saw in the brochure.) My son got the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry, which was more like strawberry with some chocolate chips than what I'd imagined by the name. Maybe there's a better way to make it actually taste like it sounds? These are all minor quibbles. The ice cream was excellent and both were better than the flavors we got at Kawartha Dairy. The blueberry lavender was really good and my favorite of the two. I'm sometimes skeptical of floral notes in food but this worked. The strawberry in the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry was easily better than Kawartha's strawberry. This one had real strawberry flavor and actual strawberry pieces in it. I felt like the chocolate taste didn't come through in the chips, which often happens with chocolate chips in ice cream. My daughter (absorber of the Belly brochure) filled us in on the founding of the store while we ate. She said that the name came from a mom who had a big pregnancy belly while carrying twins. As a fellow twin mom I relate. If this was 14 years ago I'd come here to eat for three. Best tastes of Huntsville trip 1) Farmer's Daughter (pierogies) 2) Farmer's Daughter (berry scone) 3) BELLY (blueberry lavender ice cream) 4) Allora (papardelle with short ribs) 5) Farmer's Daughter (lentil wrap) 6) Farmer's Daughter (mac and cheese) 7) Farmer's Daughter (chocolate chip cookie) 8) Farmer's Daughter (iced chocolate chai) 9) BELLY (chocolate covered strawberry ice cream) 10) Farmer's Daughter (bean avocado edamame salad)

We ordered food and drinks for six people and because it was a larger order it took awhile and there was a mix up but I brought it up and it was fixed. Latte was alright it wasn't very strong and no creama. Just warm frothy milk on top. I probably should have tried their regular brewed coffee instead to really see what their coffee is like without all the milk. Breakfast bagel and muffins were all pretty good. We were in town for a short visit so happy to find somewhere for coffee that's reasonably priced and decent. It's not worth an out of the way trek and it's not a must visit site but it's def a much needed spot in the area!
