We always make a point of supporting small, local, independent shops whenever we can—especially over the big box stores. And there’s nothing better than being able to give a shout-out when a place truly nails it. But the operative word here is excellence.
We were passing through Mattawa on our way to North Bay and decided to skip our usual stop in favour of trying Wright’s. We were just looking for some buns for lunch and thought we’d give this place a shot. The woman serving us was lovely—warm and welcoming—which is always a great start.
We ended up grabbing a loaf of sourdough, and I’ll say right up front: it was fresh and tasty. Not the best I’ve ever had, but certainly very good.
Then we spotted the Blueberry Pie. And who doesn’t love a great blueberry pie, right?
Well. This is where things went completely off the rails.
This was, without exaggeration, the worst blueberry pie I’ve ever tasted—and I mean by a long shot. I don’t know if someone confused salt for sugar, but holy smokes. The filling was a thick, gelatinous blue sludge that had nothing remotely pleasant about it. At $13.99, it felt like a prank. We couldn’t even eat it—it went straight into the garbage.
We considered saying something on our way back through, but then learned (via other reviews) that this is not a one-off. Apparently, this pie has a reputation—and not the good kind.
Maybe they make some great items at Wright’s, but it is definitely not the “Blueberry Pie” (if we can even call it that). What we bought was a rock-hard, salty pastry shell stuffed with what looked like blueberry filling but tasted like… punishment.
Caveat emptor.
To the owners of Wright’s: there are some excellent recipes out there for blueberry pie crust and filling. If you need help finding one, I’d be happy to send you a few. But please—please—stop selling that. The world deserves better pie.

Very nice bakery with lots of options The peanut butter cream pie was fantastic, as was the sourdough bread. My wife also loved their fried chicken and I am eager to order a pizza from them next time we pass through.

Best hot cross buns I have ever had! They had just came out of the oven before we got there. They could not even put them in a plastic bag they were so warm! We also baught a slice of pizza each and some butter tarts.
Pizza was not greasy and the crust was crispy and chewy. Lots of toppings and very flavorful tomato sauce.
Butter tarts were good, they had more pecans than filling so I was not as impressed with them.
The building itself is older and looks a bit run down but don't let that stop you from enjoying some great baking! This is a hidden gem! Support local!

Lots of variety but nothing was that tasty. Regular pizza was super dough-y, though they do have lots of gluten free options which is great.

Our company, Wolfpack Protective Services Inc. provides security services for Mattawa Voyageur Days every year. We always set aside one dinner to order their pizza. The pizza and fried chicken burst with flavor. Our team looks forward to it every year. The staff are friendly even with the chaos of the mass crowd during the end of night closing process.
I would highly recommend taking the time to visit the bakery anytime you visit or pass through the beautiful Town of Mattawa!

Stopped in to pick up some burger buns and some deserts. Buns were very heavy pastry was dry and brittle, cookies were very hard. Not my best experience.
