Brenda's Place & Bakery — Restaurant in Stratford

guys I'm sorry to give you only a three-star review and has nothing to do with your food quality it is fantastic and your customer service is usually spot on and I'm always greeted with a smile. The reason for this review is I was at the store today and I was really really disappointed and how things were being done in regards to this pandemic. I watched as two customers came in one gentleman not even wearing a mask The other one wearing a bandana not keeping socially distant at all from the other customers. In fact there was one customer who was in the middle of an order who felt very visibly uncomfortable as the gentleman with the mask kept getting closer and closer to him and the other gentleman wasn't even keeping proper distance I would hope that in the future you guys can speak up when you see these kind of things happening and let those people know that they need to a keep their space and be if for whatever health reason perhaps that makes them not wear a mask that they are still maintaining that distance to make everybody feel safe. As a result I hate to say it but I don't think I will be visiting the bakery anytime soon until this pandemic is over based on...

I had heard about Brenda's from a friend who rides motorcycle and he had suggested I try it out. The decor is a little worn and dated, but that only adds to the charm.

I got a banana pepper butter tart? I love spicey food, and this was perfect. It was a great day for a motorcycle ride, and only made even better by stopping in at Brenda's. In one...

Brenda's is a hidden treasure in Stratford. The newest owner, Brian (a Newfoundlander) promotes the maritime hospitality of home and community. Table cloths and decorations to match the seasons and celebrations, a (dine in/take out) menu that consists of delicious homemade food, which are reasonably priced and made with love. The huge homemade bakery items speak for themselves...and they scream YUM. The staff, esp. Julie, is always eager to please and keeps the coffee pouring with a smile and a great attitude. Many return customers attend on a consistent basis, meeting up for breakfast or lunch with friends and leaving with a smile of satisfaction. Brian has transformed this wee hub of greatness with hard work and dedication and deserves an applause. See ya...
