Brenda's Place Bakery - Stratford

I moved from Mississauga to Stratford in September 2016, and since finding Brenda's, I've been there numerous times without ever being disappointed. Whether dining in or picking up breakfast or lunch, the experience has always been fantastic. The bakery items are consistently excellent—the butter tarts are a must-try, the breakfast buns are incredible, and the cinnamon buns are delicious! My cousin visits often, and we usually go for breakfast; she appreciates the gluten-free toast that Brenda always has available. I've also taken home loaves of bread, which are outstanding and last much longer than store brands. Overall, Brenda's is definitely a great spot to pick up baked goods or to sit down and enjoy a wonderful meal.

I absolutely love the food and the service here! Brenda and the staff are amazing, making it a warm and welcoming place.

This is the one and only place to visit—truly a unique gem! It evokes fond memories of my mother and her delicious home-cooked meals, complete with delightful desserts. If you haven't had the chance to experience it yet, you're definitely missing out!

After much deliberation, I finally decided to stop by and ask a few questions about their gluten-free options. I’m surprised this place hasn’t been reviewed here on FMGF yet, so let me be the first! I was pleasantly shocked to discover this hidden gem of a diner located in a bustling plaza filled with happy diners. They offer breakfast and lunch that are safe for those with celiac disease, along with a wide variety of gluten-free sweets! They have gluten-free butter tarts in three different flavors, confetti bars, O’Henry bars, and many more— all baked safely to avoid contamination. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about celiac safety as well! I was impressed and definitely plan to return. They’re even catering gluten-free desserts for a celiac wedding this weekend! I’ve attached a photo of my dessert from tonight. Finally, it feels like someone in this town really understands gluten-free needs. Kudos to Brenda's!

Wow, love Brenda's Keto options!!! So wonderful to be able to order a breakfast sandwich on a keto bagel! Favourite keto dessert: lemon coconut balls ?
