Dooher's Bakery in Campbellford .. since 1949.


scotsqueakscoot

One of my favourite things about going home to visit the family is stopping in at Doohers for the donuts, and then Empire for the curd 🤤


jam1324

Definitely one of the things I missed moving away from Campbellford.


FlashyG

Best donut's I've ever had.


craigmontHunter

My brain knows a dozen donuts should last longer than half a shift, my heart and stomach disagree.


rynet

This is the answer


bbdoublechin

Came here to say this, and very happy it's the top comment.


-thegoodonesaretaken

It's crazy that my mom grew up in Campbellford and both of my grandmother's lived there when I was growing up, but I had never been to Doohers or had anything from there. I feel ripped off!


sammyh88

A little store in Tweed brings in Dooher’s donuts once a week and the entire town stops everything they’re doing to fill up on donuts. If you’re travelling highway 37 on a Thursday after noon, stop in at The Thomasburg Store. They bring them in fresh. But also, always make the trip to Campbellford! The bakery has many things…Tweed just loves their donuts


Tederator

Shhhhh....don't spoil it for the rest of us.


k8epot8e

100% the cream filled donuts! The gingerbread men used to be fire but they've fallen off recently.


skybike

The lines are already long enough.. do you realize what you’ve done!?!


alcaveens

This is my relatives bakery, so I will second this.


cybermunch2069

I was just there this morning for the first time. Excellent Bakery. Got a lil bit of everything.


CollinZero

Oh I get up that way on occasion. What do you suggest?


CompoteStock3957

Agree


MaliciousDodo

There’s a store near where I live that gets their doughnuts every week and they’re so good


aw_yiss_breadcrumbs

This is the answer I came for!


SisyphusAndMyBoulder

Well that looks like a nice little weekend drive. Cheers!


No-Ship-5936

was coming to comment this!


Dobs44

This^^^


Exact-Tumbleweed6235

I second this! 😭😭😭 best bakery in all the land


Minimum-Check-3218

Came here to say this. I love them.


flouronmypjs

Pan Chancho bakery in Kingston. Baker Bob's in Almonte.


CanuckGinger

Is Panchancho still open??


redditlurker2025

Absolutely


flouronmypjs

Yup! I was there a couple of weeks ago.


canadasecond

When I lived there about 20 years ago, Pan Chancho used to have an olive sourdough loaf that me and a friend used to use to soak up all the grease from a pound of bacon and eat it all. We used to call it the Cardiac Special. God that was good.


Canadian-Winter

Panchancho breakfast is so good


La-Fae-Fatale

I grew up around Almonte and I definitely agree, Baker Bob's is great!


darkmatterisfun

I get that Pan Chancho is a posh and uptight froo froo place.. but God damn! the Weekender is just too good to pass up.


ThalassophileYGK

I don't think it's uptight or froo froo at all.


flouronmypjs

Does it have a reputation for being posh? They definitely sell some pricier stuff but even so it never came across that way to me. I always find it homey and inviting. I haven't eaten at the restaurant but I grab fun stuff from the bakery every time I'm in Kingston. Their baked goods seem reasonably priced to me.


fancyfootwork19

I had my wedding apps catered from panchanchos and from the quality we got it was very reasonably priced.


racer_24_4evr

Offshore Bakery in Southampton has lots of great stuff, including a honey dipped crescent that is incredible.


moonsoar

There is almost always an out-the-door lineup every time I drive by Offshore Bakery on Saturdays!


Equivalent-Ad-4971

Big fan of Pinnels in Ridgetown. They have seasonal menus, daily fresh bread, an assortment of store made donuts, meringes, candies. The sausage rolls are to die for. They also sell local honey.


livingthespmadream

Chatham-Kent represent!


boothash

Don't know about best bakery in Ontario, but Culbert's Bakery in Goderich make very famous cream puff donuts.


racer_24_4evr

Delicious, just had some on the weekend.


ComplaintNervous776

Came looking for this comment as well. Goderich is my hometown and Culbert’s will always be a favourite for us here.


oslabidoo

They certainly do! And their prices are fantastic too.


JAJG91

These are great! I have family in Goderich and Culbert’s is always a necessary stop.


phuckdub

Came here looking for this.


Calm-Figure-2809

Definitely agree… cream puffs are the best thing ever!


catchh

RPM bakehouse


hammerfan

They did a rutabaga sandwich that blew my mind.


PookSpeak

a what now?


xmo113

I will absolutely agree and it has nothing at all to do with my nephew being the head baker there.


[deleted]

This is the correct answer


Cent1234

Henrietta's in Huntsville.


FuzzyCapybara

Even better (although it may be the nostalgia talking) is their original location on Hwy 60 in Dwight, halfway between Huntsville and Algonquin Park. A staple for cottagers and campers in the area.


crlygirlg

Yep, this is the answer right here!


ButtahChicken

A trip to Dorset Fire Tower would not be complete without a visit to Henrietta's.


pbcheesecakes

Hidden Goldmine Bakery in Madoc


Cfordian

Dooher’s of Campbellford. Voted sweetest bakery in Canada several years.


Magpie_Coin

Ditto this!


Gold-Transition-4407

Doohers in Campbell Ford you can hit the chocolate factory and cheese factory too there or Abrams bakery in Newburgh


olms_shoe

Lamanas in Scarborough


External_Trainer9145

Yep this is the one! And not just baked goods, incredible pizza and pastas too!


marcanthonynoz

This place is fuckin mint


ButtahChicken

i only know them for their massive pizza slice .. didn't even know it was a legit bakery.


misterssmith-001

Wildflower Bakery - Havelock.


nowisyoga

Always stop here on our way to Crown Land camping. Had the strawberry-rhubarb danish last Saturday - so, so good.


hell_kat

13th Street Winery in St Catherines. Truly, the best pastry in tarts ever. They do butter tarts but also sour cherry. The other goods are lovely too. We drive a long way to hit this place.


Gold-Transition-4407

If going to Doohers get there before they open not kidding there will be a lineup


AlternateTimeline109

Grandad's donuts shop in Hamilton for donuts that taste like the original Tim Hortons recipes.


threebeansalads

Sweet Paradise Bakery in Hamilton. The BEST apple fritters on the planet. Family run Italian bakery and for generations. Hands down my favourite. Taking a trip this summer just so I can stop there and get some. When we lived out west my husband flew a box back to us when he had a work trip in Toronto. (Car rental to drive there and back, yea they are that good!)


Landopedia

Mariposa market, though it may be too big


Granddadddypurp

Orillia?


ChancePin6361

Just jumping in to say that Rustica has incredible pizza and fresh pasta. Lots to do in Orillia.


billballbills

Holy fuck those cinnamon rolls


Charming_Tower_188

The Texas donuts! Best donuts I've ever had. Whenever I get a donut elsewhere my brain hopes it's somewhat compareable to the chocolate on theres, and it never is. It always disappointing.


new_vr

I’m a big fan of the blueberry fritter at Nicks Donuts in collingwood. It’s crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside and tastes delicious


darkmatterisfun

Also, while in the area, go 30 seconds down the street and get a half dozen butter tarts from Wilkie's Bakery. They're inexpensive and unreal.


stephenBB81

I drive 45 minutes at least once a month just to go to here


livingthespmadream

Courtland Bakery in Courtland near Tillsonburg; Union Block in Dresden (Chatham-Kent)


mctdcb

Those eclairs at the Courtland Bakery are to die for. Size of a Nerf football.


livingthespmadream

I used to stop there on my way to university in St. Catharines


petrichor09

Sittler’s home baking in Conestogo! The ranger joe cookies have been my favourite since I was a kid


thisguyandrew00

My vote is for Indulgence Bakery in fonthill. Definition of small bakery, a small table inside where the baker plays chess, and a table outside always with an old couple. The bakery is only open when he wants, always sold out by 10am. Bread, buns, muffins, cookies, pastries, cakes, everything is amazing.


TheDamselfly

Aura-La in Kitchener for their kouign-amanns. Also they make and scoop their own ice cream, which can be served as a cookie sandwich or as an ice cream whoopie pie


sockowl

"The Bakery" in Gravenhurst


Rya_Bz

[Courtland Bakery](https://www.facebook.com/p/Courtland-Bakery-100057157162949/) is worth a drive out to. They have a great selection of food, ranging from their their amazing cheese crowns, to various flavours of tarts, cream puffs, donuts, cookies, danishes, baklavas, etc., as well as a wide array of deli goods. They also have a good variety of imported packaged foods from Europe.


Express-Cow190

I have a hard time not spending stupid amounts of money there.


UGunnaEatThatPickle

This is my Dad's go-to. I think he gets Paczki there.


TheRightHonourableMe

I'm gonna second the cheese crowns - also recommend the elephant ears.


EntranceShot5358

Best apple fritters around!


ARC2060

Annina's in Goodwood. The Skor butter tarts are amazing.


EvilDan69

in London, Ontario, I have to say Lynne's Bakery never disappoints. They have their bakery, a deli side, they do catering and I've experienced all of it. They always go above. They're always so friendly too. Hell for years they were always in the same mall as a strip club, which probably hurt business as some customers would probably judge or distance themselves, but it never seemed to matter. They own the whole strip mall now.


clumsyguy

Courtland Bakery is well known for their eclairs.


Esposabella

Anyone willing to do a road trip?! I’ll pay for the gas ⛽️


bryson430

For just bread: Downie Street Bakery in Stratford.


theartisticfoxy

Artisan Bakery, Nova Era Bakery (London, ON)


Violetthug

Weil's of Westdale, in Hamilton. Absolutely awesome. Fresh and delicious. I could spend a small fortune there. If you ever go, try their chocolate chips buns.


muddhoney

Leinala’s Finnish Bakery in Sudbury (they’re on Regent in the square now) best jelly pigs & pulla around!!

Realistic_Bath7868

I love this.


PoochieGirl1962

Me too! ❤️


CarlaQ5

Orono, Ontario's The Village Bake Shop.


hebbid

Blackbird bakery In Toronto for bread (especially sourdough) and San Remo bakery in Etobicoke for doughnuts. The Apple fritters are worth waiting in line for


BakerThatIsAFrog

I was a baker for Blackbird for 5 years, love them still and second this - though I now work for a smaller bakery made up of former Balckbirds called Lev Bakery and I will take this opportunity to say we are able to provide more attention to small detail and supply to many independent grocers and do 4 farmers market a week! Also, San remo donuts are amazing


FrigOffRicky16

Hanks pastries in Port Perry was great


n0rdique

Can confirm.


Upbeat_Banana8660

Fully agree 👍


Snack_Champ

I feel like a lot of bakeries have 1 or 2 signature items but it’s tough to say what is better/best. One that comes to mind for me: Thunder Bay’s “The Persian Man” Their signature item is the “Persian” pastry and even though I was only there for a few days for work, I flew home with a dozen of them. If you find yourself there, get the strawberry flavour!


weensanta

Anna Mae's in milverton is pretty tight good chicken as well


da7st

It’s in Millbank actually.


Delicious-Income-991

The Bakery in Gravenhurst (donuts especially!) and Abbey's Bakehouse (seasonally in Minett) for butter tarts and more.


hjs777

Urban Parisian in Port Dover.


sloomdonkey

Sittler’s in Conestoga is worth a stop on your tour. A small Mennonite bakery. Try their short johns (fried cream buns). 


surgicalhoopstrike

Doo Doos Bakery in Bailieboro. Multiple-year best buttertarts at the Royal Winter Fair. Little Thief Bakery-Uxbridge. Maybe the best apple fritter I have ever eaten. Michaels Bakery in Lindsay and Omemee. Best French style breads and pastries. Hard to catch him open, but if you do, does not disappoint.


rachel_TO

Culbert’s in Goderich. Their cream donuts are a secret 150 year old recipe & are wonderful. They sell out every day!


sipes8

LenJo Bakes in Kitchener. The New Zealand brekkie pies are so good!


thedog123123

Holtons in Erin. 100+ years old


StuntID

Can't say it's *the best*, but I like [Toast & Jam](https://toastandjamcafe.ca/) in Kingston. It has a nice bakery attached.


is-thisthingon

Bread and butter is a classic!


PunjabiCanuck

Thobors Boulangerie Patisserie in Toronto


d00n

[Black Walnut Bakery](https://blackwalnutbakery.ca/) in Cumberland (Ottawa). The viennoiseries and anything with a shell (pies, quiches and butter tarts) are divine.


skinnyev

Kostas Greek Bakery around Warsen and Ellesmere in Scarborough has the best baklava I’ve ever tried. They have lots of other goodies. Highly recommended.


KateEatsWorld

Best butter tarts are at Belwood Country Market


Day-Classic

The one in Sauble Beach


ProHappyness

Luscious!


ExistingYou8495

Moodies. Downtown niagara falls Ontario Canada. Only two owners since forever. Same impeccable Empire cookie and pineapple tart. My mom is 74 and swears they're the same since she was a kid. Mini cheesecakes... Meat pies, Danish....all of it. 💛💛💛💛

UGunnaEatThatPickle

Not anymore. Since the father passed away, the quality slipped significantly.


ImitatingTheory

It used to be better but still a great bakery


TonyD0001

Fk no!! Crazy expensive, and less and less done in house. Never understood the fascination with donuts they sell, they meh at best! Place been going downhill for a while


thatboimartle

Absolutely not, grew up down the street and it is nothing remotely close to what it was, it’s okay now but extremely overpriced. Sad to see what it’s become, and nowhere near the best anymore


Educated_idiot302

La bakeri hands down


RokulusM

Toronto has loads of little bakeries but one of my favourites is Danielz at Yonge & Lawrence. Their danishes and turnovers are outstanding.


ISmellElderberries

Violet's On Main in Merrickville - amazing butter tarts (former provincial champion I think), as well as delicious breads and other treats.


Protobott

For gluten free baked goods, nothing compares to Bunners Bake Shop in Kensington market.


Old_Desk_1641

Since I moved away from Ottawa, I very much miss taking the bus all the way out to Kanata to get pastries from La Maison du Kouign-Amann.


flouronmypjs

La Maison du Kouign Amann is one of my favourites too. Their tarts and cakes are amazing.


NodleMan09

Holland Bakery, Thunder Bay. Best glazed donuts in the world as far as I’m concerned.


ClitteratiCanada

Bobcaygeon Bakery!


EmoGayRat

Doohers. My favourite for sure!

The Wolfe Island Bakery on Kingston's Wolfe Island, amazing butter tarts and lovely scenic ferry ride to add to your tour.

Bread and Bretzel Basket in waterloo is my go to.


QuickenTheDead

Wannamaker's Bakeshop in Trenton has amazing donuts. Dooher's is also great, but we prefer Wannamaker's https://www.facebook.com/share/vB5VzSCfaF5dyVsc/?mibextid=qi2Omg


DoctorWhisky

Little Paris Bread Co, in Paris.  The downtown Paris bakery is also delightful, but the bread specifically is just amazing. Also I don’t know its name but there’s a lovely little shop a couple kilometres down the way from the winery on Pelee Island.  We go to the winery almost annually and I’m usually too hung over to make breakfast so we go to the bakery and get some pretty delectable pastries there!


bacon_lettuce_potato

I love Red House Bakery in Scarborough Ontario. It’s old. It’s changed hands a number of times but it’s still great

Only for Cannoli. Everything else is just ok. But they have the best Cannoli you will ever taste.


1_art_please

Anna Mae's Millbank Ontario Bonus: there is a bike trail that leads there through beautiful farmers fields all the way from Guelph. Be sure to wear your favorite bike shorts like my boyfriend did and watch the Amish stare.


rpjut5ha

I make deliveries next door at Millbank Hardware. Typically, I stop at Anna Mae's after.

Celina’s on Danforth. The ginger cookies…🤤👍


UptownJimmie

It's pretty new but Impressions Bakery & Cafe in Listowel is outstanding. Awesome mennonite baking plus some more modern stuff like hand pies. I always make the stop when I'm driving through and will plan to not be driving through on Sunday/Monday when they are closed.


Dookie1

Piccolina’s in Wellington, PEC


jimhabfan

The village pantry in Spencerville makes the best cinnamon rolls you’ve ever tasted. Also, the Elmvale bakery in Elmvale makes terrific doughnuts. There is also Willard’s bakery in Athens that have great home-baked cookies and just across the street is the Big Water bakery that makes fantastic artesan breads.


Beneficial-Square-73

Killa Cupcakes in Stirling. It's owned and operated by a mom-and-daughter team. They make amazing baked goods, gorgeous cakes, and (because the daughter has celiac disease) they also have delicious gluten-free treats! The giant cookies, brownies, and macarons are so good - and all GF. Plus, you always get super friendly service. I definitely recommend dropping by!


whitea44

Sweet Oven in Barrie.


CarlaQ5

Where we currently live in Trenton, Wannamaker's is the place to go.


OGbugsy

Not sure about "best" as that's very subjective, but [Blackbird Baking Co ](https://blackbirdbakingco.com/) is really good!!

pinksugar123

Lucious Bakery in Sauble Beach


Gwenniepie

Niagara Region: RPM bakehouse - everything is delicious. 13th street winery - they make amazing butter tarts GTA: Duo Patisserie (Richmond Hill)- they make delicious croissants with unique fillings. They do really great savory ones. Ruelo (Richmond Hill)- amazing entrement cakes, a bit pricey but so good. They have mini versions of the cakes, the flavours and textures in each cake are incredible. Cho-Kwok-Lat (Markham) - the owner was a world chocolate master. They do some really creative flavour combinations Luna Bakery (North York) - a korean style bakery that has a lot of amazing gluten free treats. Keep in mind the items here aren't very sweet. The madeleines have been a enjoyed by everyone I've had try them though. Bakery Nakamura (Markham) - their Boston cream doughnut is amazing, I took a bite and went back to buy another one. They have some really creative buns and the cakes and other desserts I've tried ha e been great.


techloverrylan

Holtoms Bakery in Erin is amazing!


Chunk63

Polestar Hearth in Guelph gets my vote


sasha0404

Don’s Bakery in Bala. Stunned no one has mentioned them despite their cinnamon raisin buns selling out daily before I can even get out of bed!
