Stopped here on our way from Toronto to Ottawa, looking for something local rather than mainstream…read morechain. Found the perfectly cozy, quirky, family-run double location in Sweetheart's Bakery and its yin-yang next door, The Knockout sandwich/wrap shop (see separate review). Sweetheart's offers a good selection of very yummy-looking cookies and cakes, plus some sodas/water. We can vouch for the Neapolitan multi-layer cake the young baker brought out that day. (Would have been 5+ stars if they offered coffee too and maybe a customer washroom). Still super friendly and delicious! Chat with the locals in the comfortable armchairs, discover fun artwork, and relax... Their website is not really up, but here's current info: https://www.facebook.com/SweetheartsBakeryNorwood/

The cost was $23 but these are fairly large ones. I'm not sure if there is a better deal if you buy more at one time. Lots of different versions to try but we didn't have time to explore them. Check this place out if you like the classic Ontario treat, and real Canadian icon and a welcome addition to any road trip!

I swung in on my way home just to try it out and I was blown away. By far my favourite tarts that I've ever tried. I've made excuses to visit my nephew twice now just to drive 2-1/2 hours to pick up some butter tarts. Can't wait to go back again

When this business was The Buttertart Factory, it was amazing. I'm not quite sure what's going on,…read morebut the standards have fallen drastically while the prices have climbed. It's very disappointing. For a while, I lived for their apple fritters. In May of 2024, I discovered that they no longer put apples in their apple fritters -- perhaps as a cost-saving measure. My family purchased half a dozen fritters, which turned out to be nothing but large slabs of dough with a cinnamon glaze. In June, all varieties of fritters (thankfully) appear to have been removed from the menu. The butter tarts, which once had a flaky pastry and an insanely good, buttery filling, have become worse than the generic tarts found in a No Frills supermarket. Clearly, costs are clearly being cut. Worst of all, the location (in Druro) has added an extremely pricey take-out stand. One of my friends paid a whopping 16 dollars for a chicken burger. No fries, no drink: just a piece of lettuce, a tomato, a gob of mayo and (an admittedly large) slice of fried chicken on a bun. I believe that the owners see this as an easy money grab, as they serve those commuting to Bancroft and back during cottage season. You'd think that for 16 dollars a pop for a chicken burger the owners would provide more than an outhouse to customers. You'd also hope that they'd make sure the outhouse was serviced often enough to prevent feces from piling to the rim. Nope. For obvious reasons, I will be ending my patronage of this establishment.
