“ALWAYS busy, and in a great way. I remarked to my mom as we were leaving that they will never go out of business. It's a small storefront but notorious around the city. I went during sleepovers at my grandma's as a kid. I've since left the city and love seeing them still thriving. They manage to have a deli and to-go area as well as manage catering. Due to the small store front it might not be the most accessible for those with mobility devices. Also, my uncle from SK is disappointed there's no longer a "croissant day" ?Wheelchair accessibility: Small storefront and crowded to maneuver“
“Food and service is great. I had the Eggs Benny and it never misses. The pancakes are amazing and very filling as well. Just what you'd expect from a breakfast restaurant with great food. Always a great way to start a Saturday or Sunday morning. Arrive early.Vegetarian options: Options for everyone including gluten free.Parking: Lots of parkingKid-friendliness: Lots of space for kids with large boothsWheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs, and all walkways are large enough to accommodate wheelchair access“
“Cookies & Cupcakes by Design never disappoint! I ordered a cookie cake for my daughter a few months ago and it was delicious and decorated to perfection. I popped in today to grab some treats for tonight and as usual the staff was so friendly and helpful. Thank you to Heidi for helping me decide between all the delicious cupcakes!“
“Hubby and I live in Newmarket. That might be changing soon. Not because of the fact we hate our house here (LOL) but WE LOVE the MMMM DONUTS that we purchased at Georgian Mall yesterday and want to be closer to them. In all my 58 years, I have NEVER EVER tasted any Donuts like these. These are without a doubt, the BEST tasting Donuts ever and we are both Donutaholics. As newly retired Young Seniors, if that is a thing mind you, we love going on road trips. Barrie is a popular stop for us. After seeing so many people walking around with these pink Donut boxes we decided it is time for us to try these. I am still in Heaven over the taste. FABULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS. Did I mention Fabulous? I wish I could come by every single day, well if we move to Barrie, I will make it a point to do so EVERY single day :)“
“I contacted Andros Cakes and spoke directly with Dimu about individual cupcakes for my guests at my one years olds birthday and they were fabulous and tasted amazing. They were little unicorn head cupcakes and everyone loved them. I also ordered a smash cake that looked similar to the cupcakes (matched theme) and it was everything I dreamt it to be. Andros Cakes Delivered them too. Every part of this order was seamless and easy and mostly done via email / online. Thank you Thank you Thank you Dimu and and Andros cakes. You out did yourself and made my little ones birthday a smash-up“
“We’ve ordered a few cakes from cakes by design and have been happy with all of them. More recently I ordered a birthday cake for my dad and I was really happy with how the cake I ordered turned out. I got a red velvet cake with a cream cheese icing filling. It was delicious and looked amazing!“
“Came here with some friends when we stopped at Barrie. I asked the person at the front for some recommendations and decided on the below per their recommendation. The tarts are pretty good and tastes like the named ingredient. Personally I liked the coffee flavoured one because it wasn't as sweet as the other flavours (still pretty sweet though)This is a good place to go if you have a sweet tooth.“
“Been coming here for years! The vegan pantry is the cutest little 100% vegan and gluten free bakery! They have the best treats- my favorite being the blondies and the fluffernutter cookies ( when they have them available). I always love popping in grabbing a latte and a few sweet treats! Wonderful assortment of frozen foods as well. The vegan lasagna is my go to freezer meal! Vegetarian options: 100% vegan ?Dietary restrictions: 100% Gluten-Free and 100% Vegan/ Plant Based“
“A 4th generation managed bakery, the German influence here is clearly seen in the goods. You wish they had seating to sit and enjoy the awesome bakery goods! The bakery items were great! We tried some cupcakes, coffee, cookies, but the highlight was a sweet cookie-like gluten-free piece called "florentiner" which is like an almond flakes cookie with slight chocolate sauce bottom.The washrooms were nice and clean too, so just ask for the keys.Also has a small gift shop for some nice trinkets.Dietary restrictions: Has gluten free options like some cookiesParking: It's own Parking lot as part of its plotKid-friendliness: Kid friendly vibe. Lots of gifts and baked goods aimed at kidsWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible entrance as its on ground level“
“First & foremost, the raspberry lemon cupcakes not only looked amazing but were delicious. Margot was responsive, pleasant to deal with, and very flexible around timing & customization. Not to mention very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!“

“I love Don's!! Food is my passion and this family is all about the passion. Nearly 50 years of doing things right. I make the trip from Toronto to Don's in Barrie and or Muskoka (Bala) a couple times a month. Everything they prepare is top shelf!!“
“Exquisite atmosphere, incredibly welcoming. I had soup and toast and it was so freaking tasty. I also got a box of mixed pastries and I am very excited to try it! I love all the stuff they have in place to support local sellers too, it was a touch noisy but not unexpectedly so (probably less noisy than a Starbucks café overall, lol). Will definitely visit again :)Wheelchair accessibility: Big front door, no steps, big and open straight shot to the counter!“
“Nice and spacious Italian bakery in Barrie. This place is very well organized and clean. You can find exotic Italian food here. I was looking for a cake, but they did not have much left, even though it was the middle of the day. I got some pastries as well, and they are very delicious.“
“I have purchased multiple birthday cakes and cupcakes from here! The absolute best in Barrie!!! Today, I picked up my sons minecraft TNT cake. I can’t even put into words how amazing it was! Extremely talented, so much incredible attention to detail and absolutely delicious! We put a sparkler in the middle and it was seriously the coolest! We will be back for all of our upcoming birthdays, of course! :)“
“I went into Zehrs on Cundles. It’s the first zehrs I’ve been in since the late 1980’s. I worked for Loblaws, No Frills and Fortinos for a span of 24 years. Almost 25. In Vaughan I shopped Fortinos most of the most. At the cottage we shopped Real Canadian. We moved to wasaga 2 years ago and still continued to shop at RCSS. but when I walked into zehrs today can I just say wow. Holy WOW. I’ll be going back. Clean. Organized. Well lit. Wide aisles. Laid out the way a store should be laid out. If I had to compare it to a specialty grocery store I would Zehrs is right up there with Longos. And if you’ve never been in a Longos give it try and then visit a zehrs. Top notch quality foods.“
“Got 6 assorted sticky buns yesterday and holy heck they are incredible! I’m not normally a big sweets person personally but I couldn’t stop eating them. My colleagues loved them too. Highly highly recommend! Will be getting them again to share at events and as thank you gifts.“
