Sigrid’s Cafe and Fine Bakery - Barrie, Ontario

Excellent Black Forest Cake! I purchased one for my Husband’s Birthday as he has been looking for a traditional one. Wow he loves it. Thank you Sigrid’s.

I had a wonderful first visit here. The parking lot is very quaint and charming. The flower boxes give it a nice touch. I tried a few pastries and a cappuccino and it was all quite good with a home-baked texture. Spent a few minutes chatting with the owner and ... was very sorry to hear that by the end of 2024 the cafe will be closed due to retirement. (But, but ... I just found you!) Still, I have a few more months to work through as many items as possible. A little pricey, but the quality is very good. I really liked the idea of a tea room, but unfortunately it is no more and will not be revived. It is all take out (unfortunately). I encourage you to visit and try a few german-austrian items while there is still time. As for me, I will aim to see them again very soon (and often). Read more

A 4th generation managed bakery, the German influence here is clearly seen in the goods. You wish they had seating to sit and enjoy the awesome bakery goods! The bakery items were great! We tried some cupcakes, coffee, cookies, but the highlight was a sweet cookie-like gluten-free piece called "florentiner" ... which is like an almond flakes cookie with slight chocolate sauce bottom. The washrooms were nice and clean too, so just ask for the keys. Also has a small gift shop for some nice trinkets. Read more

For 16 years, I have supported and frequented this bakery because they are one of the few that use premium ingredients, which include FRUITS. Today before closing, there were some pastries left. It doesn’t take a baker to gather that these pastries were in fact old and not the ... best quality as pastries of this price point are expected to be presented. I made a comment based on facts, not an opinion as the “owners son” suggested. I’ve really noticed the quality of this bakery depreciating since the attitude ridden millennial - “owners son” is in the store. He kicked me out because he didn’t want to listen to facts. After living in Germany for years, I depended on this place for the quality it used to provide. any German would be embarrassed by this presentation. That’s not remotely following culture…. Never again…if you’re going to take over a place, make it a legacy, not a dump !!! Read more

On the way from Toronto to Perry Sound, while we were looking on Google for a high rated bakery to buy a birthday cake, we found this little gem in Barrie. The owner was very nice and welcoming. We got a cake full of berries, soooo yummy. Also we ... got some cheese cake slices which were really tasty. I think they are originally from Germany and the taste of the pastries said so. Thank you for making our day! Read more
