Annina’s Bakeshop and Catering

Fanstastic spot located in the hamlet of Goodwood where they film parts of ‘Schitt’s Creek’. Their selection is incredible and runs the spectrum of baked goods and prepared lunches. A favourite stop for the spandex mafia (cyclists) and those transiting York and Durham, it was packed when we were there. We order some lunch: pear and squash soup (5 stars), chicken pie (3 stars as it was quite dry), chicken melt (4 stars) and fettucine alfredo (3 stars as pasta was gluey hut sauce was great). Prices are what you expect and portions are decent.
One suggestion is their traffic flow as it a narrow area for both lined up patrons as well as those perusing the displays. The presence of a side access door from the patio adds to the chaos. Another cash is needed as well as more space.
Until Reesor’s in Stouffville sees fit to open on Sundays we will certainly be return customers!

Wow, what a great place ! ! Awesome pastries, but I have to try it for lunch and breakfast also!

Annina’s Bakeshop is as good as it gets. The bakery is a popular destination for cyclists and any time during the warmer months you’re likely to find quite a few people dressed in spandex. So if that doesn’t bother you or if you have a secret fetish, this is the place to be! :D
During the warmer months there are several tables placed outdoors, so that gives plenty of room in addition to the already pretty decent sized top floor.
Huge variety of delicious pastry! Good coffee! Amazing sweets! Super friendly staff. In comparison to some similar places in Toronto, the place is reasonably priced.
Worth a visit.

Goodwood has one traffic light, a gas station with a Subway restaurant attached, a gift shop and Annina’s. However this little jem is always busy and speaks volumes to the quality of its baked goods. Its recently renovated sitting area located upstairs is modern and clean. I come here often since it is our local joint but I am not bias, really I am not. The chef and owner is classically trained and I understand that he use to or still teaches cooking at a nearby college. The food is familiar with regular breakfast items, sandwiches, wraps and salads. All done exceptionally well. But the real draw is all the fine baked goods from staples like butter tarts to croissants to cakes, pies to breads. This visit we went for brunch. I had a great breakfast sandwich, with bacon, eggs, lettuce, tomatoes on a great heated bun for under $ 5. My older son had peameal bacon with eggs and great home fries. The other son had 5 pancakes with whip cream and strawberries. All awesome in taste and price.

Busy spot at noon on a weekday. Eat inside or out in a shady tabled garden.
The very fresh (including thankfully the outer wrap itself) jerk chicken certainly packs a bit of a wallop!
I just bit in to the mammoth pecan butter tart and it is perfect.
If ever again in the area I will be back.

Mmm… Delicious strawberry rhubarb pie. It’s tart but full of strawberry goodness. If you like it sweeter, it’s perfect with ice cream. I loved all by itself.
Pecan pie was good. Mind you, I was never a fan of pecan pie. I love pecans and I love the pie crust, but something about the goop in the pie I don’t like, but this one is good. Not too sweet and it doesn’t get stuck to your teeth.
I stocked up on a bunch of meat and dessert pies, so I’ll be trying a few more over the next few days.
Getting here, don’t follow the directions on their website (I ended up at the wrong place). Make sure you are at 300 Hwy 47, GOODWOOD. Stoufville (according to the website) will take you further and you’ll never find it. Luckily a customer at McD’s knew what I was asking about when I asked for directions. Easy to miss, but it’s worth the adventure.
Enjoy!

Ok so if you are up in this area you absolutely have to try this place out! You would probably drive past this place if you were not a local. It is so cute. You can eat in or out on the patio or take your food out. They have mind blowing Butternut squash soup!
They offer; Breakfasts such as, spinach/​feta/​tomato omelet — Florentine omelet/​Western you name it…
Lamb sticks which are lamb skewers with tzatziki and mmm fresh lemon.
Quinoa salad, beef melt, tuna salad sandwich and a huge variety of baked goods.
The shelves are stocked with all kinds of sauces and spices to purchase. I LOVE this little GEM.
