Frannie's Restaurant And Bakery

We’d heard so much about Frannie’s we were excited to try it. On our first visit we ordered the lunch special , burger and fries with a dill pickle soup. The food was delicious. We were too full to get dessert so we brought a tray of our favourite home. Cherry cheesecake. However we were very disappointed that there was only cool whip flavour , no cheesecake flavour at all, and even the graham bottom and cherry topping lacked any flavour. We had enjoyed the meal though so encouraged our friends to come try it with us. Two of us ordered the turkey dinner, one the schnitzel (and one a skillet) so 3 of us received the side veggies which were turnip and carrot. None of us could eat the veggies aside from the fact they were overcooked and mushy I love turnip and carrot and could deal with that. However there was an extremely odd flavour from them both (making them taste the same) that made them inedible. We weren’t sure if it was rancid butter or something chemical or what but it was awful. We told our young waiter who was trying his best who said he’d let the chef know. We had to finally ask him if he had told the chef and he said he had but the chef said they should be fine and no one else has ever complained. No offer to replace or substitute. The turkey itself was sub par and dry, the stuffing buried and not much of it and wet. The turkey gravy had no flavour but made the meal less dry. At least those parts were edible but there was definitely something wrong with those veggies. We were originally going to give the butter tarts a try to take home despite the disappointment with the cheesecake, however after that meal we all cut our losses, paid the bill and left and found a nearby farmers market store and bought a delicious cherry pie at a much more reasonable price. We won’t bother trying Frannie’s a third time.

Frannie's has the best buttertarts I've EVER had! Sweet, buttery, soft, silky center caramel delight! A symphony of sugar: from the caramelized outside to the more complex interior, where the consistency ranges depending on serving temperature. The crust is just enough to keep form, but soft, eggy, and wheaty enough to provide a light base and counterpoint for the sweetness! And, flavors! Deliciously curated: plain, pecan, raisin, salted caramel, Score Bar, and Reese’s Pieces. A roomful of Ontarians confirmed: best THEY'D ever had! I'm not surprised to hear Frannie's won awards and is renowned among those who know. I've brought a dozen back to NYC, woefully deprived of this peak buttertart experience! People are realizing: we've never had actual Canadian buttertarts in NYC -- and they're incredible! Frannie's neighborly customer service and simple delight in baking and spreading joy helped make this international order work. She gamely baked up a batch to travel to our Toronto party, and a special dozen to travel further down to NYC, where my foodie friends are gobsmacked with revelation and delight!

The Dutch apple pie! This did not disappoint, it was absolutely amazing. I purchased this for a family get together and each of us all said it was the best apple pie we have ever tasted! Definitely coming back for more! Thank you!

Breakfast food was great, our waiter did an excellent job and was very helpful checking for dietary restrictions. The atmosphere was perfect - we sat on the patio surrounded by flowers and ferns with casual music playing (not too loudly) in the background. We took home a pie and it was amazing!! We will definitely be going out of our way to go back here and support this local business.

Really nice atmosphere with a lot of care taken to create a great outdoor seating area. Felt it was expensive for a breakfast.

Absolutely loved the food and the vibe here! Such a lovely spot, especially in the morning when it’s calm and peaceful. The hospitality was super warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

They have great options for vegetarians too, and I also tried a bakery item that was worth every penny. Really impressed overall — it’s a perfect place to enjoy a nice meal with family.

Located just outside Kitchener, surrounded by beautiful green farm fields, which makes it even more special. Highly recommend!

$22 for likely the worst strawberry rhubarb pie I have ever eaten. Taste like I ate a lemon so tart and sour they must have forgot the sugar.
I spent over $65 dollars there never again. What a disappointment

Went here with my daughter. Instantly amazed with the flowers and the greeter, as well as the amazing service inside. I picked up some butter tarts and had a bite to eat. The food was very good and came quick. I tried to catch names of my servers, Lauren and Siena, lovely ladies! Will be coming again

Delicious homemade country food. The home made bread is a fantastic touch! Great patio to sit outside. And then there is a bakery for you to grab a pie for the way home 🥧😍
