We ordered double espresso and latte, unfortunately not my kind of espresso, roasted too dark and off the balance of a great espresso, left charcoal like after taste. I personally prefer a balanced light roast to get the narrow sweet spot between acidity and bitterness. Plus, darker roast has less caffeine, and I like more

I needed to use my GPS to locate the place, as the area isn't over developed with other businesses. Lots of Schnitzel offerings, perhaps a little more diversification of menu would be a nice addition. I had a luncheon currywurst with fries curry sauce and mayo which was a nice change from our North American offerings. The service was quick and pleasant. Worthy of a repeat stop.

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 saw good reviews on google so wanted to try out this local spot for brunch. They have a patio so…read morewe opted for that since we were a bigger group and the inside didn't have that much seating. The patio was unfortunately in the shade and it was a bit windy and cold, but our hot beverages helped keep us warm. Get there early if you want pastries as they do sell out. If you plan to dine in, you pick a seat and then order at the cafe and settle up then they bring you your food. There's a place outside for you to place your used dishes after you're done. The lunch menu (after 11am) is limited. The croque monsieur ($19) was the size of a regular slice of bread and came with a salad. The roast beef sandwich on baguette was the tiniest sandwich I've seen at a cafe. For almost $15 we thought it would be a much bigger sandwich. The sizing of it would have been more appropriately advertised as a kids meal. We thought the meal was very much overpriced for the portion sizes we got.

Their savoury stuff is also good: heavy on the carbs but still with enough tasty meats and veggies on there to keep you satisfied. Recent visit involved trying out a red neck meat roll (the hint of whiskey was amazing), roast beef (generous amount, tender beef) and chicken parmigiana (bland and overly doughy). Then capped off the meal with a gopher tail (airy bread with smooth creamy filling) and apple fritter (would have liked more apple but glaze was perfect). Mariposa is streaming with people at all times, and it's one of those rare markets and bakeries that people treat as a destination rather than a convenient stop.
