Dooher's Bakery — Restaurant in Trent Hills

I usually avoided all bakery because of the temptation with so many choices of the sweets available at bakery.

We bought a house in Campbellford 2 summers ago and have been visiting Dooher's Bakery once or twice a month. This summer being on the boat had brought us to Dooher's every weekend before we head out to the marina grabbing the goodies for our fellow boaters.

I have to admit Dooher's is one of the top choices of bakery so far for me. Their cream filled donuts, fruit tarts, fruit and cream cheese danishes, fruit filled oatmeal cookies.....just to named a few, they are absolutely delicious......I don't eat these kind of bad temptations but I caved in and chomped down a few of those tarts. My goodness their fruits flavoured bread are exceptional, every visit I would purchased 6 loafs for my weekly lunches.

I have never seen any bakery with 2 line ups at both their doors of patrons waiting to get their goodies. Haven't been there during the weekdays but the weekends you have to be there early to make your purchase otherwise they have nothing left. And that happened a lot by 10ish.

I wish Dooher's Bakery is a franchise and branch out to Mississauga. Your team of bakers are magnificent in feeding your patrons and your team of front staffs are incredibly helpful and courteous. Keep up the superb work.

Nov. 15, 2018 It has been over a year being their regulars....I have tried all items on their menu. I see why the are ranked " number 1 sweetest bakery in Canada". Most of their sweets are super delicious, a wee bit too sweet for my liking. My best choices here are the flavoured bread, cheese bread, lemon coconut squares and blueberry pie. These are much lighter and super delicious. I am sure others will say other wise, and it may be right. You just have to give them a try and...

I have heard many good things about Dooher’s Bakery and the majority of the reviews for this spot seemed positive. My two friends and I listened to the suggestions to arrive before 12pm to make sure there were plenty of options (thank you for the heads up!) so we did just that. The one person serving my friends and I came off rude, pushy and seem to be rushing us to get in and out as quickly as possible. I would understand this if they were busy but we were the only 3 customers there at the time. I stated this was our first time and apologized that we had some questions and may take a little bit of time to decide on what we would like. She held the same rude sounding tone of voice and making us feel rushed. Along with the one specific staff member, the 3 dozen donuts we bought, the tart and the muffin were not fantastic or above average in anyway. The apple fritters were OK though! The jelly filled donuts had maybe a bite worth of jelly in them, the other donuts were pretty firm and tasted quite average. I personally don’t deem them far better than Tim Hortons quality. While they would be a different recipe and “cheapness”, they would be considered the same level of average-ness to me personally. I hear the bagels are good but I don’t think it’s worth the 45 minute drive, rude service and gamble to test my luck with them again. I understand some people may have a different view- but I’d just take it with a grain of salt and do not believe they are the best of the best. There is an Amish family in the Stirling, ON area that makes wonderful homemade glazed donuts. Their price is $10 for a dozen. So cheaper and better in my opinion. There are other small and local...

I visited the highly talked-about Old Town Donut Shop (Dooher’s bakery) from Belleville, hoping for a great experience, but it was disappointing from start to finish. First, the place was incredibly crowded with a long wait, and the atmosphere felt chaotic. When I finally got my hotdog rolls, it was clear it hadn’t been warmed up at all, which really took away from the enjoyment. To add to the frustration, they didn’t have a reliable debit machine, making the checkout process slow and inconvenient. But the worst part was the customer service — the lady who served me (half a dozen donuts and coffee) was extremely rude, with zero regard for basic politeness. It felt like they just wanted to rush people in and out without actually caring about the customer experience. Overall, it was far from the welcoming, cozy spot I’d expected. With poor service, improperly prepared food, and a lack of basic amenities, I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for an enjoyable or friendly experience.
