Super cute bakery located steps from the waterfront. I was walking by in search for something to…read moresatisfy my sweet craving when this place caught my eye. A small, locally owned and operated bakery that caters to folks who need gluten free desserts - which isn't me but I'm always game to try! The selection of goods made it hard to choose just one, but I ended up getting a blueberry oatmeal muffin. Fresh, flavourful and filling!! As with many gluten free bakery items they can be a little on the sticky side but I enjoyed it just the same. The lady who served me was very kind and welcoming. Appreciative of the service and in fact before handing me the debit machine to pay, she skipped the tip option for me which I thought was very respectful. For anyone with gluten intolerance or anyone who loves their baked treats I would recommend you check out this place on your next visit to Orillia.

This place is a must stop! Get here early if you're looking for gluten and dairy free bread - They…read moreare a popular spot so the bread tends to be gone first thing. They did have plenty of bagels when we popped in later in the afternoon. They also keep items coming, so I'm sure you'll score something delicious! Stopped in with my mom on a Saturday and were warmly welcomed. I had stopped in a few weeks back for a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving that was delicious which is why I had to go back! On this occasion, we decided to try their flat bread and soup for a mid afternoon lunch - both were so flavourful. We both agreed we would order that again for sure. It was the perfect comfort meal on a cooler fall day. We also got some sweet treats to take with us. There was still plenty to select from. We opted for a date square, apple butter square, raspberry cheesecake square and kitchen sink cookies - They all disappeared before I remembered to take a photo - oops! :) Let me say, the date square was jam packed with dates! Everything had the right level of sweetness and tasted so good. I will definitely be back! They have so much more to try! Oh and they also offer a special brunch menu on Sundays. Highly recommend stopping in. You'll be supporting local and I'm certain you'll find a sweet/savoury treat or two!

They had several grain-free (and gluten free) options for sweets and I ordered a delicious brownie which was perfectly vanilla-heavy and fudge-like and not too sugary. All freshly baked too! Hubs ordered a butter tart which was generous and flaky while my toddler enjoyed a trail mix style cookie. She certainly enjoyed it and I hope you will too!

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.

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.
