“Oh my word, we are on the final leg of our North American tour travelling East to West. We've stopped at quite a few great bakeries in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec. Hard Winter Bakery beats them all. The bread is so fantastic. The perfect crispy crust with fluffy soft interior with a light sourness, it is sourdough after all. We also bought a cheesecake slice and an orange and cardamom morning bun and both were wonderful as part of our breakfast. We have a raisin and cinnamon loaf for tomorrow. Hopefully they'll have a store every 200 km to Vancouver and then one near our house in the UK.Just finished the raisin and cinnamon and it is the best we've had so far in North America.“
“This place is such a gem. I took my sister here for brunch and will definitely be coming back. The atmosphere was relaxing, our server was incredibly friendly, and the food was delicious. The tea menu is extensive, which was such a nice surprise. Would highly recommend and I'll have to come back here for lunch or dinner one day.“
“The name is deceiving. They have quite the variety. Bought a ton of baked goods from them and was so surprised with how reasonably-priced they are. And of course, the treats were all delicious. Highly recommend the blueberry fritters and the chocolate brownies. Will be going back for sure!“
“I work here and it is a wonderful place with great people that work there and I really enjoy working here. Sandi and the rest of the employees are professional and kind people to be around. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to buy a cake or some desserts.“
“The Florentine Cookie & the Almond Pastry were AMAZING.They tasted so good. I did not expect the Florentine Cookie to taste that good. It was so sweet but not too much. Had a chewiness too it to add to the nutty yet buttery & light chocolate taste. Really a perfect bite. The Almond Pastry was medium flaky but the powdered sugar elevates it & the hero was the almond custard in the middle. So scrumptious. I love how random this bakery is. It's in the middle of business buildings. Haha! One of my favourite bakeries I've been to in my life.“
“The staff are absolutely endearing. They were upbeat, cheery and clearly fond of eachother. It has a welcoming atmosphere. The product is larger than Tim Hortons and a much tastier and fluffier donut. I highly recommend the cherry cruller.“
“amazing croissants, cookies and croissant sandwiches. yummy coffee and chai lattee is my favorite, they make it in house. all workers make a living wage and the owners bring awareness to important causes. Best place to get coffee and treats in Peterborough by far!“
