Sweet Treats for Thanksgiving in Guelph, Elora & Fergus
Sweet Treats for Thanksgiving in Guelph, Elora & Fergus
Thanksgiving is this weekend, and even though summer is my favourite month, there’s truly nothing like fall in Ontario. The changing of the colours is like no other, a stunning mix of gold, orange, and red that I notice every time I’m driving to or from showings and listing appointments in Guelph, Elora, and Fergus. Living in Southwestern Ontario, we’re surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery, and autumn makes it even more magical.
And what’s Thanksgiving without a few indulgent desserts? Whether you’re celebrating at home or picking up something special for a gathering, here are my favourite local bakeries where you can grab that perfect sweet treat.
Guelph
This local gem truly hits the sweet spot. Their cookies are baked fresh daily and are absolutely delicious. The weekly menu has not been released yet, but I know it is going to be stellar.
Eric The Baker
I have never had anything bad from this bakery. My favourites are his tarts. The chocolate and passionfruit ones are rich, decadent, and perfectly shareable. I would say each tart serves two.
Other great bakeries in Guelph to check out include
Wellington Cakes,
Decadently Yours, and
With the Grain.
Elora
Dars
This is not a bakery itself, but they bring in the most delicious pies and cookies from a little bakery in West Montrose called
Riverside Home Baking. Their treats are absolutely worth the stop, with pies, cookies, and so much more.
Elora Bread Co.
Known for their bread, many do not realize they also bake amazing desserts. Their cinnamon buns and cookies are a big hit, and their selection rotates regularly. Be sure to check what is available, you will not be disappointed.
Other must-visits in Elora include The Tartlet and Gerries. The pies at Gerries are especially delicious.
Whether you are after cookies, tarts, or a classic pie, these local spots make it easy to celebrate Thanksgiving with something sweet. There is no better way to enjoy fall in Southwestern Ontario than with a treat in hand and surrounded by all those gorgeous colours.
