“I had tried some gluten free bread options at some local grocery chains - yuck! That’s all I can say. I am not a gluten- free expert, as I am only starting to treat my ailments through experimentation, but let me tell you this - I am very happy with the product from Winnie’s! I went in and was promptly greeted, and the young lady that helped me was so pleasant and patient while I asked a million questions. I purchased a standard gluten/dairy free loaf of white bread. When I got home, I cut myself a generous slice, popped it in the toaster and buttered it. I had very low expectations to be honest, but what do you know… IT WAS FANTASTIC! I would go as far to say that’s it’s better than grocery store (gluten filled) bread. I can finally have a toasted tomato sandwich again 🤗 Will definitely be back!“

“Wonderful pastries and desserts. We thoroughly enjoyed their summer location at Wasaga Beach, Beach 1 location.“

“I regularly get my bread, streusel, pretzel buns and the best traditional German Christmas cookies (just like my Mom made). Recently I tried the Mountain Tip dessert. OMG. They use real Jamaican rum and it is delectable. I just love everything they make.“

“A Delightful Experience at O Hime Cake

I’ve been wanting to visit O Hime Cake for a long time, and today I finally got the chance—and it did not disappoint! This place truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best dessert spots in the KWC region.

The cakes are an absolute dream. They strike the perfect balance of sweetness—not too overpowering, but just right. The sponge cake is incredibly fresh and smooth, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that feels like a treat with every bite. Each flavor is so rich and well-crafted that it’s hard to stop at just one piece.

Beyond the desserts, the ambiance of O Hime Cake adds to the entire experience. The place has such a charming, cozy vibe with a modern yet cute aesthetic that makes you want to linger. The atmosphere is complemented by a soothing fragrance in the air, making the space feel even more welcoming and relaxing.

Overall, O Hime Cake exceeded my expectations. If you're in the KWC area and looking for a delightful dessert experience, this is definitely the spot to visit!

Happy Eating ☺️

“Tried your new plant based cinnamon buns. They are delicious , they taste just like the regular ones. Also your new bagels are amazing . Tried a sample in store and bought some to bing home. Will definitely both again“

“Best scones also great cinnamon buns.“

“I ordered several deserts and a common theme, they were all too sweet. The coconut tart was the best in terms of balance. I will however say they all had great texture, moisture, and were baked to perfection.

But… man i feel diabetic after the pumpkin tart thing. I had to try and eat it without the Frosting.

Really hopeful the eclair isn’t too sweet (edit : it was… while the place is clean and the pastries baked well, and beautifully made, they are all much too sweet).“

“Ce Food and the Bakery did an excellent job with my custom cake. My daughter was overjoyed, and it was bee-utiful!! 🐝“

“Had lunch there today for the first time, didn't have enough cash on hand.....they offered to buy my lunch! I managed to find enough coin to cover the cost! The sandwich was fantastic! I will definitely be a repeat customer! This is customer service at its best 😊“

“Amazing place run by an amazing family. True passion for cooking and a love of great food is the theme for this joint“

“We came into the store looking for bagels to go with smoked salmon not knowing that Cobb's doesn't sell bagels. The guy behind the counter was extremely helpful in offering a substitute of Vienna Buns because they have a chewy outside and tender inside. This was a winning combination! We can't wait to try our herbed sausage buns this evening. Many thanks to your wonderful staff today!“

“I have never done this. I have never made a review.How about food. But in this case, I had no choice. I walked in to buy a bottle of water, saw the pizza, and had no choice but to try it. This may have single handily been the best slice of pizza i've ever had in my life. Even though this is a slice that I'm sure had been sitting there for a few minutes. It still tasted as fresh as it possibly can. As if it were made minutes before. Highly recommend trying it. I will be back several times a day“

“We go to St Jacobs Market for lunch once a week and always get desserts here - we can’t help ourselves! They are so so good - absolute indulgence without the heaviness or discomfort as I have a sensitivity to dairy. You wouldn’t even know they were gf/df they are so tasty! I am also surprised every time - there is always something new as well so the selection is amazing.“

“You can’t start your day with a lovelier breakfast than the delicious baking at Kitchen Kuttings!“

“I ordered a fruit cake with strawberries and mango for my moms birthday and it was so delicious. The perfect amount of sweetness and the cake was nice and moist with delicious cream in and around it. I would highly recommend this cake to anyone!“

“Awesome fresh bread!! Go there.“

“I was on vacation in Kitchener a year ago and went to this bakery almost every day. Freshly baked and super delicious bread, a wonderful selection of bread types.

The owner was also very nice. Unfortunately I didn't make it to Kitchener this year, but hope to go back next year.“

“Recommended: I didn't taste anything, but everything looked lovely. The prices seemed a bit high, but it was a private store not a chain. There were multiple options for gluten-free. The pastries and baked goods looked delicious. The store employee was quite friendly and helpful. They carried multiple brands of products from other gluten-free companies, organic options and health related issues. I would return to try them.“

“Biked to St Jacob’s and found this small coffee shop and ice cream place. Had a cappuccino and a slice of the lemon cake, both delicious. The young woman serving was excellent, very friendly and helpful, checked which milk for the cappuccino and gave me a China cup when I told her that I’d stay in. There was a water station too where I could refill my water bottle. I will be back to try some of the breakfast sandwiches .“

“If you haven't visited or tried anything from LenJo Bakes and you are looking to satisfy a craving, you should stop what you're doing and head over to her bakery! I've had the pleasure of having an assortment of her cookies and macarons and let me tell you - WOW! Not only are her macarons gorgeous and perfectly proportioned, the flavors are on point! There is such an assortment of cookies as well you will not be disappointed. My husband and I absolutely love the salted chocolate cookies, just perfection. Thank you for providing top notch service and products ❤️.“

“One of the best cafes in the area with a perfect location ! A walking destination from a 1 hour free parking lot. The coffee is well made, I enjoyed every sip of it!
The place is students and work friendly
Highly recommended“

“Always busy here, but it's one of the main reasons why we come here. I never knew pretzels could be this delicious. Buttery soft goodness. Never tried the cinnamon one, but I'm happy to keep coming back for the salted ones. It's the more popular choice and they continuously make a new batch every 5 minutes or so because it's that busy and popular. It's the perfect soft pretzel. These ladies are fast and efficient and good at what they do. They only take cash!“

“Rude. Rude. Rude. Awful customer service and bad business etiquette.“

“Stopped by this morning, on my walk home from a nearby appointment. The sign, outside, advertising today's soup (Red lentil with mint a a touch of Lemon) had my mouth watering. Bought some for lunch but bought the Fruit and Seed square to have with my morning coffee. It was perfect!!“

“Excelente ! Equipe dedicada e pratos deliciosos.“
