The Bakery

Top choice in Southwestern Ontario


Stop at this tiny house turned bakery/deli/pizzeria for hearty wraps and salads, pizza and all manner of baked goods (cinnamon buns, anyone?). Coffee drinks – even the fancy stuff – are sold too. Eat at one the picnic tables on the leafy lakefront property or take your eats to go. A treat!
