Discovering bakeries in the Kawarthas: Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls



When we went houseboating, we had sufficient meals (along with the fish we caught) to last us through our trip. So, when we went exploring the towns of Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls, what we checked out were bakeries for our snacks and dessert.


We absolutely loved the quaint community of Bobcaygeon. The shops were so delightful, offering goodies and merchandise we do not typically see in the malls over in Toronto. Several Bigley’s stores were located near the locks, selling great (albeit pricey) shoes and clothing. We also spent hours checking out the many stores selling stuff for the home—mostly cottage décor and quite lovely.


We had coffee at the Kawartha Coffee Co and checked out the local Foodland grocery.

We then went to Bobcaygeon Bread Co/Bakery and had the Best.Toffee Bar.Ever.

I only got one bar as I was getting hungry and needed a snack. Hubby, Grandma and the girls liked it so much as well that we had to go back (after walking over a block) to buy some more! They also had good Date Squares which Grandma and Hubby like. The girls also enjoyed a couple of cookies. We tried some Butter Tarts but found they were okay but nothing to call home about.


 Over at Fenelon Falls, the vibe was much different. It was busier and the stores offered more vintage goods/antiques. We had some ice cream (Kawartha Dairy, of course!) before we walked around. 


After all that walking we needed another snack. We checked out the Little Pie Shack, a cute pink store selling freshly-baked goodies.

 We got a 6 for $12 assortment of tarts and bars. The girls liked the blueberry tart over all the other bars and tarts. I wasn’t too wowed but I would go back, should there be a chance, to try out all the other goodies. 

 

Sugar-happy, we definitely enjoyed our baked delights over at these quaint towns.
