Bobcaygeon Bakery — Restaurant in Kawartha Lakes

Bobcaygeon is a little and adorable town. There are restaurants and small shops along the towns main streets. We read reviews about Bobcaygeon Bakery and ventured here for breakfast. A lovely experience: cute store front and inside. Lots of choices of goods: savory and sweet, and they all look good which is a good first impression. Then you taste them and it verifies that they not only look good but are well made and taste delicious. They had pasteis de nata (Portuguese custard tarts), and they were very good (still not as good as the ones you eat in Portugal). They have a wide selection of butter tarts and they are well made and tasty. Their giant merengues are what a merengue should be: crunchy on the outside with a chewy center. They have a nice selection of quiches: individual size and regular size. They also sell their quiches frozen. We tasted a couple of their quiches and they were outstanding. Their caramel squares are something we have never had before and they were out...

Theresa was more than helpful when advising me regarding a simple breakfast and lunch for my daughter's bridal party October 5th. Before the wedding, we all had a few hours to be with the photographers, and have hair and make-up done, and I knew these young ladies would be requiring a little sustenance! It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day! The beautiful setting in Kinmount (1850s log home/family farm) was stunning and the bridal party was happy and hungry! Theresa suggested the perfect "menu" of both sweet and savoury (Blueberry Coffee Cake, various pastries and oh, those Cinnamon Buns!), focaccia and a variety of delightful sandwiches! And the price was MORE than reasonable! Thank you, Theresa (and crew), for helping make this special day...

My family has a little place in town and when we visit, we are at the bakery probably four or five times within a week. It's easily one of my favorite little small town bakeries in Ontario. Particular shout outs to the butter tarts (the pastry game is legitimate and that little bit of caramelization that they get around the edges gives a bit of extra chew and depth of flavour), the empire cookies (best ratio of cookie to jam to frosting ratio around), the eccles cakes (again, pastry game: on point) and the baklava (my ONLY gripe is that it needs a little more syrup to keep the top a little more moist).

This place is worth a stop anytime you're passing through the area. They're doing...
