Maureen Hussey

The baked goods, especially the Chop Suey Buns are delicious!

Cam Toth

Amazing staff and food, great building and location

Brian Collinson

Good coffee place. Was here two years ago, and, if anything, it's gotten better! Good selection of baked goods and coffee specialties. Seems to attract locals and visitors alike.

Fox White

In short: Prices are way too high, little to no care put into the food, service is meh, way better options in town. ____ …

Eleanor McKnight

Delicious food, adorable setting, amazing owners! Truly the heart of Thornbury.

Rob Green

Really cool place to sit and have a bite to eat or pick up some pastries. Their cinnamon rolls and delicious and their assortment of various bars are also super good.

Liam Dietrich

Service was very friendly. Great drinks and food. Only issue was our order was forgotten making the wait longer than necessary.

Devin Wiles

A local favorite. We love coming here when visiting friends and family in Thornbury. The sandwiches are great and they have some nice items that you can take home and cook yourself. Highly recommended.

Mimi Tsirkin

David Lynch

Fine. Service isn’t great and the food is okay. Weird setup with ordering and take out. Not many tables

Jeff Weeks

Stopped here for sandwiches. It was one of the best lunches I've had in a very long time.

Ryan Woods

Such a wonderful spot to stop for lunch. The service is fast and very friendly. Kids menu is limited but good. Located right downtown Thornbury so easy to go for a walk after or before lunch.

Omar Zaibak

One of the best Rueben sandwiches Ive ever had. Friendly service. Other stuff looked great as well.

Van Leskinen

Very friendly staff with a great selection of baked goods and food

Jeremy Bradbury

Good food and espresso-based drinks

Joseph Maurizio

Just had some breakfast and coffee at this joint. What a pleasant surprise. Had the eggs, bacon and home fries and the food was exceptional. Tasted homemade which is always the goal. Haven’t been to Thornbury before so this was a nice breakfast with the wife. Will definitely come back again when we’re in town skiing next.

Hannah Elias

Cute place with fresh pastries and homemade bread! Can't go wrong with a buttertart from here!

Ed Caton

Quaint. Good food. Lots of gluten free options. Nice staff.

Rajesh Kutty

The carrot cake and sticky cinnabon buns were amazing.

Renee Billiau

We had a decent breakfast sandwich here. The coffee was good and the order came up quickly without issue. The whole wheat "bagel" for the breakfast sandwich was not good though. The danish and cinnamon buns, yuck! Overall, its the doughs that are at issue here. It is anemic and needs more salt and sugar. The pastry filling was terrible, chemically tasting. So for the bakery aspect, don't get your hopes up. Fix the tasteless dough issue and this review improves dramatically.

Steph B

I love this bakery , the baked goods are always very tasty , there is also a very large beverage selection hot and cold, now the food itself I find overpriced for what you get and I've actually had a few mediocre meals here, come here for a nice coffee and a pastry. Staff was very friendly and covid protocols are well controlled

Brendan Humphreys

Great sweets and scones. Super clean and bright. Friendly service. Did not try the coffee but hear it's good.

andrei Coban

Very nice place but the cook has very limited knowledge of some of the dishes which she/he is making like egs Benedict which even we said how we want it made still were made very wrong if you say anything about it they give you attitude and dirty looks, we talked about it to the owner which said when you come back we will have it the way you like it, of course second day was worst even the coffee was wrong and belive me we left a hefty tip each time but, we just a waste of time and money,

Scott Stewart

Great food and drink!!! Wonderful Staff too ????

Emma Reynolds

Lovely cafe, really nice sandwiches.

Kris Crowe

Robyn Nicol

Such a cute place. Excellent gluten free & dairy free food. Coconut yogurt was so good

Monica Ramakers

Great Americano and scones!! Fabulous helpful, friendly staff!!

Amber Warner

Omg the coconut macaroon squares and sticky knots are sooooo good....

Danica Bennewies

Really good coffee and baked goods. Lots of options for non dairy milks and gluten free foods

Steve Aldred

This bakery is amazing. Eat lunch here all the time and never disappoints. Awesome selection of gluten free products as well.

Chris Gardiner

Sandwich was tasty. Would be nice if it was served with a side of chips or crudite or something else to snack on with it.

Will Griffiths

This is your quintessential small town bakery and has all the fresh baked favourites. However, they also do breakfast and it is super good. I had the eggs benedict which was perfect. The holides was extra creamy and the use of Canadian bacon was a nice touch. Why only 3 Stars Then? Because no free coffee refills, even though it's a self service coffee process. A breakfast place with no free refills on standard coffee is an oxymoron and keeping them out of 5 stars.

ciara belle

bought a chocolate cupcake with white icing today. it was completely stale, completely dried out inside. must've been 4 plus days old... (update - it was eaten a few hours after i bought it and was at room temperature - not cold).

SoCold Restaurant Supply

Fantastic place ! A must if you are in the area ! Check it out !!!!

Dany Haddad

Cute, cozy and good food. Deliciously fresh baked breads and pastries.

Les James

My first visit here from out of town. Good food. Good atmosphere. Good service.

Nathan F

Absolutely the best bakery around. The Cinnamon buns, wild blueberry scones, and smithwich are all amazing!

Janelle Forbes

Their desserts and pastries take the WIN For me. The decor and aesthetic is nice. I would say that their breakfast menu has some creative and unique options but the food itself just tastes standard. Go for the bakery

Peter Wilcox

Authentic bakery with southern Georgian Bay charm.

JJ Galavants

Love this bakery cafe! It's spacious with an open kitchen. Staff, and food are a win!!

Cameron Ogilvie

Excellent baked goods and sandwiches. Perfect for provisioning your boat for some day sailing.

Genevieve Bourque

The best gluten free bread I have ever tried! Thanks for giving me the chance to enjoy sandwiches and especially grilled cheeses again :)

erica sinco

Dropped by here because it was close. Bit of a wait outside due to social distancing, which is understandable. But the bakery items were not worth the wait in line. Ordered the large cinnamon bun-- overly sweet and the cinnamon was overpowering. Also ordered the butter croissant which was disappointing in looks and taste. It was mid morning, but bakery items didn't taste that fresh. Coffee was ok. If you're in a rush and must drop in, it seems like an ok place. But I would rather go to the other cafes a few meters down the street tbh.

Morphia32

Best Apple pies around. Don't miss out on their fresh breads either, or macchiato. Tip is to get there early on Saturday before they sell out.

Belinda Scilley

The fruit scones from this Bakery were fabulous...large and delicious

rosibel marin

I loved this place. I am a baker and I am very picky about dessert but the carrot cake here was soooo good. Coffee... Perfect. Everything tied and clean specially washroom. Warm and nice place

Steve Esplen

A great tasting late afternoon lunch. Manager was attentive to our every need.

Vahid Abohassani

Best Cafe Ever! If you’re in thornbury this place is a must

Kara Nagel

Best gluten-free bread, cookies, and French toast that I have ever had! What a wonderful place for breakfast and lunch.

A D

What an unpleasant and unfortunate experience at this bakery. My wife and I walked in over the weekend, not one single other customer was inside Nor lined up out side and the 4-5 girls all standing behind the glass socializing couldn’t even greet or say hello to us.. we walked around for a few minutes and no one asked us if we needed help or anything so we walked out . What a shame, there’s lots of delicious competition on the same block! I wouldn’t bother coming again.

Taylor Sharpe

I actually really loved this place. Their food was good, and I liked the space, but I wanted to post because I gave my 3 year old son a muffin after sitting down, and just as he was peeling it apart, I saw something shiny in it. …

RJ Collacott

Tasty baked goods and coffee. Breakfast available, friendly staff.

Judith Naylor

Lovely baked goods, friendly staff

Stephen Dixon

OMG! What an amazing little place...fantastic food and service!

Kelsey Starr

Service was... adequate. The baked goods I purchased could be described the same way. Unfortunately, prices were indicative of a business where I would expect more than adequate. While my experience wasn't terrible, I probably wouldn't return.

Mary Elizabeth Sullivan

Amazing smoked salmon - and gluten free food

Erin Jarvis

Good coffee, delicious treats and free wifi definitely would recommend to anyone traveling in the Thornbury area

Darren Cole

Great cafe. Especially if you're taking a break in Thornbury from cycling the Georgian Trail. Friendly staff, great food, lovely atmosphere. I'll be back God willing.

MYCA'S WORLD

Food is great, service can be more listening.

Deryk Clark

Charming little bakery with friendly service on the main drag of Thornbury. Enjoyed a latte and cinnamon bun!

Alastair Dickie

The chocolate chip cookie is hands down the best my wife and l have ever had, they are beyond!

Karl Gingerich

No cheap $ wise, but good food and baked goods. It can be busy!

Sheila R

Cozy warm and welcoming. Great place to meet friends for coffee and something yummy. Wonderful baking of course!

Hannah Furlong

A bit pricey. Latte and reuben sandwich were great. Coffee was good. Scone was disappointing. Atmosphere was nothing special. Pretty busy in the mid-afternoon on the Sunday we were there.

Charles Landry

Tasty food, fun atmosphere

Sean Thijssen

Great place to stop in for a bite or treat. Cool layout of the cafe and great staff. Very engaged with the customers.

Garry Earle

Nice selection of breads and pastries as well as sandwiches etc: Helpful and polite staff

Tristin Wall

Delicious baked goods and sandwiches, Sometimes the sandwiches can be a bit on the doughey side of things but all in all a good cafe to stop by.

Angie Benetis

Best Sour Dough loaf in town!

Brent B

If you.are in Thornbury you must come here to eat lunch get the sausage rolls and a sandwich and if you leave without something sweet or pastry like it's a felony offence .. then head over to the cider house for a drink and cap it all off by with a walk down to the harbor which will bring you in a loop back downtown

Tom Cloutier

Sandwiches were delicious. Friendly service. Ginger molasses cookies were tasty. Chocolate chip not as tasty. Overall great experience!

Douglas Peck

Very good but busy if you don't get there early

Luke Cooke

Loved the food, great breakfest, great people.

Sean S

Nice vibe, good ciders, and a great sausage roll from a local bakery.

E B

This place is a gem. Fast, friendly, breakfast was delicious and Kicking Horse coffee was perfect. Small place, so not great for a whole group. Ideal for a cosy late breakfast with that someone special and perhaps a stroll on the cute street before heading off for a hike or skiing. If you are nearby, you simply must visit and indulge.

Peter Evans

Good food, gluten free options.

Anne Pilon

Love the Eggs Benedict and Kicking Horse coffee! Gluten-Free breads are excellent also!! Oh and sweets if you loves those ; )

Sam Cioci

This is a good place for morning meals and lunch. The food is fresh and tasty. Coffee and bakery items are great. Love the cinnamon rolls.They also have prepared home made frozen food items to take home. I visit every time I'm in town.

Nathan Ayrheart

Great food and great service, the new renovations look fantastic!

J Kim

Cute, not little country side bakery. Must be famous around here. Bought apple pie and sconces at the last min before they close for Christmas. Wish had time to sit and have coffee in this cute shop.

Kenyan Wade

Nice place. Perfect setup for a quick breakfast. Love the butter tarts!

Tom MacKay

Amazing bakery with great eat in food

Glenn S

Offers good gluten free options and you can get a good dine in breakfast here.

Ultimate Basses

Awesome cheesy bread!

Tasha Caruso

We received the gluten-free / dairy-free cookies from an event and they were out of this world! So pleased they were able to accommodate allergies and tasted delicious. Thank you!

Netta Perry

It really is OKAY, pies okay, coffee okay. They have almond milk. Service is kind.

Amanda Hanemaayer

They have the best cinnamon buns ever!

Georgina Cada

The Thornbury Bakery did my wedding cake for this past weekend. We asked for a specific custom cake flavour and style and they did not disappoint. Cinnamon Bun 2 tier cake with matching cupcakes. People are still talking about it days later, it was a huge hit. Thank you so much!

I'm currently on a lil vacation, I'm from toronto and today I went to the Thornbury Bakery Cafe and I got these Coconut Macaron Squares... THEY TASTE AMAZING!!!! LIKE I COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN TORONTO!!. Even the cashier was nice, he complimented me on my hat and was very nice to say have a good day! Like I'm aware I've only been there once but ITS AMAZING

James Ian Wright

Everything is fresh. The cheale rolls and cinninimon buns are always great get there early as they go quick

Wade Molyneux

An amazing place to pop in and get breakfast or if you are just grabbing a coffee. Their breakfast is really great! Their baked goods and other items you can get always taste amazing! Definitely somewhere you need to try if you haven’t been before or if you’re passing through Thornbury.

Debbie Heddle

Always a pleasure very time I go there, check out sit down breakfast, if still serving! Enjoy the good food, always a pleasure! Must see!

Hill Family

How am I supposed to eat this bread when it falls apart? Barely tastes like cinnamon too.

Alison Martin

Amazing staff and food. We are in at least once a weekend and then during the week.

Adam Dunowski

Great sandwiches surrounded by a quaint brick cafe. Great view of the Thornburry village street

Lidia Oliveira

Very friendly and attentive staff - food was tasty and reasonably priced - would highly recommend.

caroline vroom

This Bakery is a mess. We ordered the Italian grill cheese and got plain grill cheese. Then ordered baked goods. The cupcakes were so old and hard you could have used them to hurt someone. Surely anyone taking them out of the case should …

Chris Mould

Great decor with bare brick walls, tin tiles .Good is good too..

dave humphries

Tea & muffin mid morning break. Can you to park across street to eat. Relaxing.

Jeremy Grant

If you like cheese cake ???? look no further. Unbelievable ????

Vaso Vujanovic

Great to stop by and her some good and quility snacks

David Inch

Great coffee, pastries and sandwiches. Welcoming staff.

Matthew Overton

A good place for a coffee and a bun.

Deneen Cole-Ashbury

This bakery has it all!! They have a very serious frozen section - you can seriously stock your freezer for breakfast lunch and dinner from here! …

George Cantoni

I had breakfast at the bakery, a server named Jenna was incredibly competant and knowledable about the restaurant and she is a very good representative of the bakery as a whole.

Natalie Reed

Got a cold beef patty after waiting for 10 minutes ( it was sitting in the microwave) the matcha latte was bitter and was grainy and powdery...matcha is a tricky drink to make so if the Baristas are having trouble or don't properly know how to make it, it shouldn't be on the menu.

Heather Dix

Stopped for a late breakfast on the patio. Great service and meal. Generous portions.

Sue Armstrong

Loved this place. Great atmosphere

David H

Great chop suey buns and other sweet buns. Gets busy on rainy days but worth it.

Kathleen Harding

Coffee and cookie were good but Fresh bakery expected fresh baked treats however squares were frozen. When we questioned staff ,manager took a bite said yup thats how it should taste and walked away. WOW. Not really small town friendly!

Kary Harrison

Cozy cafe offering great coffee and tasty sandwiches with home made bread.

Luis Marquez

Excellent variety. Ordering and pay a bit on the slow side.

shannon williams

Hands down my favourite spot in Thornbury! Food is always delicious and consistent and the staff is so friendly and helpful.

Don Nots

The worst bakery I have ever been to. Coffee was extremely stale and pastries were unbelievably boring and overpriced. To top it all off, the young woman who served us was extremely rude as were the customers - rude and obnoxious. Altogether a horrible experience. We will never be back and will let others know as well.

Ken Ku

Fantastic lunches, snacks, and pies. The only issue is it gets really busy so prepare to take away or eat outside.

Fatima Moore

Soups are always my fav! Did not disappoint - excellent today and salad bowl was Fresh & Delish!!

Ross Carrothers

Nice bakery with yummy sweets, had a Jamaican patty here was pretty good!

Jason Bingham

Went to Thornbury Bakery Cafe for lunch and wraps were fantastic. Had the thai peanut wrap. Also had a chocolate peanut butter square which was equally delicious.

Linda Duff

Had the quiche and it was excellent. Going back soon

Craig McIntyre

The turkey avocado sandwich was fantastic!

Croton Lechleri

Items described in menu arrive missing key ingredients on them.

Dmytro Shyrnin

Avoid this place. Service is absolutely horrible, food we never got to do, so do not know.

Alison Coggins Roybal

Excellent food and service, I would highly recommend

Trish Sullivan

Picked up sandwiches and walked down to the water and sat on a bench to enjoy the view. The sandwiches were delicious and filling. All of the ingredients were fresh and plentiful - would highly recommend a stop here.

Cathy MacDonald

They've expanded the dining area and the menu. Always excellent sandwiches, soups and amazing desserts.

Colin & Nicole Peever

Love this place and the new Reno's are amazing. It's taken the bakery to a whole new level. Amazing

Valerie McClellan

We just bought a Keto loaf of bread from Pantry Plus in the Ottawa area of Orleans. Having Celiac’s in the family, this Keto bread is a complete TREAT!! Although Thornbury Bakery is over 5 hours away from us, this bread was SUPER FRESH, GLUTEN FREE, and utterly delicious!! It’s so amazing that you can even eat it not toasted if you want to do so! It was a pleasure to find such high quality bread in our area!! We can’t wait to actually go to the bakery one day!! Thank you, to the people responsible for being able to share your high quality bread with us! Kudos to the Pantry Plus team who ordered this bread!! Sincerely, Val

David Ribeiro

DO NOT CHARGE PEOPLE FOR TAP WATER!!! To be fair, all the food was delicious and prepared quickly but, even after spending almost 30$ I was charged 0.50$ for "Hot Water" (it was just cold tap water in a cup).

Meg Woodhouse

The last three consecutive times I’ve been to the bakery have been disappointing. The first time I pre-ordered and pre- paid for a thai chicken wrap and was told I could pick it up at 1 Pm and they would call my name from the window. I showed up at 12:58 and waited. No one called my name. People came and went. The staff saw me waiting and never asked what I was waiting for. Finally at 1:25 a lady asked me what I ordered and handed me my wrap that had been sitting at the window for half an hour. I was starving but the wrap was cold and soggy from just sitting there. Yesterday I ordered chilli which is supposed to come topped with sour cream and cheese. It was not. Cheese is the best part of chilli and it seems like it was laziness or taking a short cut to hope no one would notice. There seems to be a major break down in communication resulting in long wait times and poor food. Hope to see the bakery take this as constructive and that it will improve in the future

Richard MacLean

Arrived at 2:59 and told "sorry we just served our last lunch". Always frustrating when establishments hold firm to such deadlines (3pm for lunch). Would have liked to be able to give review of their food but nothing on their dinner menu matched what we wanted.

Michael Sequin

Very friendly, good service and great food items.

Jon Cobb

Most definitely not worth the trip. We had a sandwich and it was not worth the money. Was advised as three types of cheese but only had a sprinkling of mozzarella. Staff was zero help.

Deborah Messina

Staff overcharged us and weren't upfront on hidden costs. I asked for a menu as the wall menu said there are clipboards for the full menu and I was told that it was only the wall menu. We ordered build your own sandwich which has only one price listed $6.95. One sandwich had gluten free bread, another had chicken breast and one grilled cheese for our daughter. The total was about $24.xx so I commented on the price. After paying they showed us the recipt ave said there was an extra $1 for the gluten free bread and extra $2 for the chicken. This was not on the menu nor did they mention it while we were ordering. It's not the fact it was $3 more dollars, it's was upsetting how it felt like it was hidden and not mentioned. Not great customer service.

Michael Thiffault

Most delicious Cinnamon buns around. Friendly and efficient staff.

Georgia Corkins

Cosy with awesome sandwiches and fresh baked goods. Great coffee too!

James Penfold

Great food, lots of choice and vegan options available!

Zeke Ploeg

Food is great but they don't seem to get the order right. 2 days ago ordered all the sandwiches with cheese except for 1. None had cheese. Got charged the extra topping anyway. Yesterday ordered all sandwiches with salami, they all had tuna …

Dan M

Excellent place. Great food

Andrew Cigna

I was really disappointed by the bakery today. They have great GF stuff but their customer service is awful. They should think about hiring someone that cares about customers more than their high school friends. Someone around 20 would be ideal. We were waiting in line and when we got to the front of the line we were ignored for the high schools friends of the server. Really disappointed

G H Z

Good food and good coffee, the new staff and renovation took it from "small town comfort and charm" to star bucks.

Fiorino Guido

really nice bakery in small town freshly baked in store pie is amazing

Blair (CanoeHead)

Stale sticky buns. Bitter Americanos. INCREDIBLY rude service. Wonderful social media presence, but the reality doesn't match the posts.

Samantha Brightling

Wonderful spot in the heart of town. Delicious treats and family friendly.

Dina Mastrofrancesco

Amazing cookies. Looking forward to our stuffed eggplant for dinner

Selim Ofeish
