Buddha Bakery and Cafe - Bracebridge

Hi I/we have eaten here many times and it is always a treat as the food is fresh and Healthy. Along with the new location there is lots of new products and a huge seating area for your dining pleasure

BB and C opened inside the Muskoka Natural Foods Market, (a sizeable store for a small town like Bracebridge), right after Canada Day, July 2, 2016. I read about its opening in the local Muskokan newspaper and that it had 60 seats, which I thought was a lot. At any rate my wife and I decided to try it out for lunch. The set up is like a deli counter, with a large window displaying everything they have to offer for that day. You order then they give you a slip of paper to pay at the cash and select your drinks, and then they bring your order to the table. So not full table service but enough to satisfy me. And of course I really like looking at the actual food and asking about the ingredients, which is relevant in a vegetarian restaurant with vegan options. We selected a kale salad (they had two that particular day; one being a kale caesar), a lentil roll, a bean sweet potato burger and a vegan reuben made with tempeh. All were excellent. And the desserts; still trying to figure out how my nanaimo bar tasted amazing and yet was made with completely natural ingredients and without sugar. Simply put it was better than the unhealthy version. Also, a capuccino came with the choice of soy, almond, coconut or cow's milk (all organic). And the cow's milk is what I selected. They also make a full range of interest juices and amazing organic smoothies to accompany your meal. We loved it so much we went 7 straight lunches, and the offering were slightly changed up each day. I sure hope they can survive the winter, when the tourist trade is not around. Or, maybe they will just open up in Toronto?

I frequently am in all areas of this store, every area has friendly staff. Very clean and always someone to help you. I have eaten many of the delicious dishes offered and there is take out or eat in. They also have baked goods that are also fresh and delicious . Did I mention vegan , and yet you never feel lacking in taste and quality. Plenty of kids love the food ( I've seen them eat it with smiles) They also offer lots of family orriented activities , in the store. I really can't say enough about how wonderful this store is and yet one more thing ..... You are greeted when you walk in by a living wall of plants that is worth the walk in just to see that but please stay and check it out . You won't regret it.

Great outdoor seating, marvellous selection of healthy, tasty choices in both food and drink. Friendly and fun and nutritious!!
