Just amazing!
These butter tarts are TO-DIE-FOR and I will 10000% be back very soon!!
• Homestyle Plain - Was still warm! pastry was perfect and the filling was the right amount of sweetness
• Raspberry Coconut butter tart - My favorite tart!! (so far) Again, pastry was perfect, and the filling was exactly what you would expect and just the right amount of each flavor.

The Maids Cottage is a must-visit destination for delicious treats. This charming spot offers a great selection of breakfast and lunch items, but it's their freshly baked butter tarts that truly shine. Known for their award-winning butter tarts, they are considered among the best in Ontario. The tart crust may look thick and dense, but it is actually very light and not dry, with a fantastic flavor that sets it apart. The filling is delicious and well-balanced, featuring traditional flavors like original, pecan, and raisin, as well as seasonal ones such as Biscoff, gingerbread, and pumpkin. Customers especially enjoy the tart bits—extra sweet pieces of the tarts that are often discarded during baking—as some of the best parts. Many reviews highlight the old-fashioned plain butter tart as a standout, praised for its amazing crust and gooey interior. The place has been around for a while and is well known for these butter tarts, which even butter tart connoisseurs admire. The friendly staff is incredibly kind, happy to help with flavor recommendations, and the shop’s historic Main Street location adds to its charm. During warm months, outdoor seating is available, making The Maids Cottage a delightful spot to indulge in their tasty creations. The restaurant that used to be attached is no longer available, but the focus on their signature butter tarts remains. Visitors often express excitement to return and try more flavors and goodies.
