Whether you're looking for a sweet treat or a fresh loaf of bread, Barrie's best bakeries have something for everyone.
Here are 8 tasty bakeries in Barrie you need to try.
Fox's Bakery
Fox's Bakery has been Barrie's go-to for fresh baked deliciousness since they first opened their doors more than 40 years ago. Nothing is pre-made or out of the box at Fox's. They are one of the few scratch bakeries still around, and we are grateful they're right here in Barrie.
The Italian Eatery/Market
The Italian Eatery opened in Park Place in 2016, serving up authentic Italian cuisine. That went so well they decided to expand the business, taking over the unit next door and opening The Italian Market. Freshly baked bread, traditional treats, meats, cheeses and pasta - if you're looking to take home that authentic Italian taste, the Market is the place for you.
Homestead Artisan Bakery
This local bakery focuses on artisan breads baked in small batches using only local and organic ingredients. If you think you can visit Homestead and leave without tasting something, you're wrong. You will be powerless against the delicious smells of this downtown Barrie bakery.
Sigrid's Cafe & Fine Bakery
Sigrid's is owned and operated by 4th generation professionally trained European bakers. They're 100% peanut free - great if you need treats to take to school! Cakes and tortes and pastries...oh my!
Holly's Sweets & Eats
You know the saying "jack of all trades, master of none"? Holly's Sweets & Eats in Barrie's south end is the opposite of that saying. They are jacks of all trades, and masters of ALL of them. Fresh breads, pastries, cookies and cakes daily? Yep. Specialty cakes? You got it. Fresh or frozen meals to go? Check. To be honest, it would be easier to list the things they don't do...and they do all of it really, really well.
The Sweet Oven
According to Canadian Living Magazine, The Sweet Oven in Barrie makes the Best Butter Tarts in Canada. While we haven't taste tested every butter tart in Canada, we have *extensively* tested the tarts from The Sweet Oven and we can attest to the fact that they are incredible. The Skor tarts are an office favourite.
