Butter tarts are out of this world. Raspberry almondine tartlet was a hit too! So fun to watch the bakers.

This little shop has absolute delicious food. We started with an array of breakfast pastries and breads- the butter croissant melts in your mouth and you have to try the apple cinnamon tea biscuit! Meg the server is warm, friendly and enthusiastic- she makes the shop come alive! Had the chicken Caesar sandwich for lunch- homemade bread, real roast chicken,... More

I have lived in Niagara on the Lake most of my life and I can truthfully state that Willow Cakes continues to be a favourite place for the "locals" to have a Parisian experience without leaving home. The delightful taste treats cannot be matched without a long, long journey. This is another reason why living in Niagara on the Lake... More

Found this bakery through Bravo as they supply the desserts there - have never found better cheesecake. Great for a stop in for a mini cheesecake and a coffee or take a few to go - you`ll keep coming back - thats for sure!

We apologize for what must have been a very disappointing cake which, as you say, does not sound like it was up to our standards. In terms of the decoration we should have done more to find out what was right for you when taking the order. As for the cake itself, while I can assure you that the sponge... More

Come and indulge yourself with the most delicious decadent pastries and cakes. We have done this ourselves may times and have never been disappointed, the coffees are also very good. This quaint place has a few tables so you can sit in and indulge your sweet tasting buds, you can also pick up homemade breads.

Visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake for a long weekend (anniversary). We found Willow online and pre-ordered bread and cake. They were wonderful, as were the muffins! We ordered on the way home and took goodies back to Florida with us! We will return when we visit again!

We decided to go into this inviting little shop for a snack on our way downtown. We were in the mood for red velvet and they didn't have any left but were more than happy to take an order and have it ready for the next day! They are open 7am-7pm (I think that is their summer schedule because their... More

All I can say is, Yummy!! This is a great little cafe on the way in to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario Canada. I recommend you stop in to say hi and take some of their pastries which they bake on site. If you get there during the day, you can actually watch them make them as well.
