The Sweet North Bakery has become a popular spot known for its delectable treats and as one of the best lunch destinations in the area. Their signature pretzels are transformed into mouthwatering pretzel bun sandwiches like the Grilled Cheese with Thunder Oak Gouda and the Hot Italian packed with marinara sauce, four meats, provolone cheese, pesto, greens, roasted red pepper, and spicy vegetable anti-pasti.
I love their breakfast breakfast hay’s (I hope I spelled that right lol 😂) and the only place I’ve had strawberry oat muffins 😩and let me tell you they were phenomenal!!!! Everyone should try them atleast once ! My forever go- to place for breakfast for the past two years 😍

So the pictures contain 2 Deli Turkey Sandwiches and one CCBLT. All the sandwiches are delicious. I went to sweet north 3 times in a row for their sandwiches and I'll probably keep going there. I love that the sandwiches are prepared as you order so they're fresh. I really loved that. All the ingredients were so fresh and you could taste it. I would highly recommend it. I have only tried their sandwiches but I intend to try their other stuff too.

The iced latte and cookie were really good! Lots of pastry selection to choose from. The butter tarts would be better if they didn't store them in such a cold fridge; they are too hard and the filling inside is hard. The staff are very friendly; i dropped my butter tart and it was replaced immediately. Lots of nice seating inside.

If I could give this place double the stars I would. If you don't eat here at least once when visiting TB you are nuts. The BEST pretzel I have ever eaten. Get the salted warmed up with the beer cheddar dip. Had a fantastic bowl of loaded baked potato soup after going on a long walk about. The baked goods are delectable. Great selection of comfort foods and drinks. And they serve beer!! Cannot recommend this bakery cafe diner enough. 20/10 can't wait to come back for more!

Bakery
Dagwoods Bakery & Deli is a hidden gem in the neighborhood, offering amazing assorted subs that many locals were surprised to discover. The bakery is known for its attention to detail, creating stunning cakes with edible gardening-themed decorations. Customers have praised the personalized and fresh donuts as well as the fantastic birthday cakes available at this bakery. With courteous staff and great service, it's a go-to place for satisfying your sweet tooth or picking up special occasion treats like wedding shower cakes or birthday cakes.
This bakery has quickly become a favourite stop for cakes and treats. We tried a few cakes around town before deciding on a bakery for a retirement cake, and went with Dagwoods because of the buttercream frosting and cake quality. The cake we received was so beautiful and delicious - we had so many compliments and people at the party asking about it. Since then I've stopped by and grabbed small cakes in their to-go display for dinner parties. 10/10 will keep going back!

Ordered 24 cake pops for a birthday specifically asking for vanilla and pickup at 1030.... When I arrived the order wasn't ready and the store was empty. I was told it would be 30more minutes (there's a reason I set the pickup time for 1030 not 11).... When the birthday party went to try them they were all chocolate... Half the kids would not eat them, reached out via phone call and messages only to be completely ignored! I paid $90 for something I didn't even want. Extremely disappointed and will not recommend or be back.

When visiting Thunder Bay, be sure to stop by The Persian Man to try their famous round pastries. These delectable treats are fried and topped with bright pink berry icing, and can even be toasted and served with butter. Whether you're exploring the stunning views of Ontario or simply looking for a tasty snack, this charming city has something for everyone. Additionally, don't miss the opportunity to sample local sandwich shops while on a road trip - they make for a satisfying meal on the go.
This was a great place for donuts and quick eats, and it was really close to Lakehead University. The staff are friendly and in my experience the location had a calm, down-to-earth atmosphere. Their signature "Persians" are a staple item and worth a visit if you enjoy donuts. The original raspberry flavour is excellent. Their baked bread, desserts, and especially their hot food items are excellent as well. If you are attending school nearby and see the Persians for sale, make sure you buy them or be sure to stop in. They also cater many events across the city too including graduation if you are attending Lakehead.

Went here when visiting the area in June. The service wasn't terribly friendly. My first time there so I had questions. No smile, very short with her answers. It seemed as though she wasn't having the best day. So, I got the Persian but the orange color one as she said it was the same flavor as the pink but a percentage went to a special cause I can't remember what. Also tried some other sweets. I may have gotten more if I didn't feel like I was putting her out. Either way, the pastries were good. Also bought some bread. Not sure I'd go back though. She treated the next customer the same way. But they do offer lunch and there is ample seating inside. So, hopefully your experience is better than mine.
Roberta P — Google review
For those of you who are wondering what a Persian is after being recommended one, it's a large yeast doughnut without a hole. Kinda like a Long John but wide as well (it's a pretty big pastry actually). What makes it special is the icing which is more like cake icing than your typical doughnut glaze. It's pretty good. Staff were very pleasant. Prices were reasonable. There were a variety of fresh and frozen baked goods available from the attached bakery. Dining area and rest rooms could use a thorough deep clean.
Gordon C — Google review
While spending several days in Thunder bay I did a search on local specialties, all the buzz was over the Persian, a cinnamon roll with pink icing. So we went to The Persian Man Bakery and purchased a few to see what all the fuss was about, and unfortunately we're disappointed. A Persian is basically a cinnamon roll style donut, deep fried, ours had very little cinnamon between the layers and had a pink icing that resembled a cream cheese frosting with maybe a hint of raspberry. Our examples, were ok, not bad , but unimpressive, and average at best. This may be unique here , but at home we could go to any bakery and get a similar product, but with multiple icing choices like: vanilla, chocolate,cream cheese, peanut butter, maple .... sorry.
Richard V — Google review
Okay, okay the Persian and all the rave. It’s a kind of cinnabun / donut covered in thick rich butter icing, original is pink and other flavours are available. It’s a little heavy for my taste, but they do have pastries and savory options here like soups and sandwiches. I did liked the decadent cream puffs and tarts. You can dine in or take out. Prices are reasonable for a bakery type establishment. They also sell breads and other convenience store items. A place to visit for sure.

The Persian Man is an absolute Thunder Bay staple — and for good reason! Their desserts are out of this world — soft, sweet, and perfectly indulgent. The famous Persian is always fresh and delicious, and every visit feels like a little taste of local tradition. The staff are warm, friendly, and always make you feel welcome. Whether you’re grabbing a quick treat or bringing a box home to share, The Persian Man never disappoints. A must-stop for anyone in Thunder Bay!
Dave L — Google review
We arrived at the store around 4:45 PM, excited to finally try this place after hearing so much about it. Unfortunately, we felt a bit rushed as the staff were getting ready to close, which made the experience feel a little hurried. We ordered the donuts with pink frosting. While the donuts were soft, they weren’t warm, and the frosting tasted fairly standard to me. I imagine that seasoned donut lovers may have tried more memorable options elsewhere. Overall, it wasn’t quite the standout experience we were hoping for. While it may still be worth trying for some, I wouldn’t say it’s a must-visit or something to rush for.

One of the best places for dessert in town. Their desserts are all delicious, from their 2$ cupcakes, to their cakes, bars, macarons, cookies, and cheesecakes - all are to die for.

I held the door some someone on a bike entering the store. No "Thank you" at all. He takes his bike and goes into the kitchen, clearly showing me he works there. How ignorant. Staff here are always short with their service. Even from the older man who lacks a sense of humor. Instead of taking constructive criticism and handling it professionally, they lash out at you. Whether online on FB pages or emails. Their cupcakes are ok. Cake is better then the icing. Icing is bland. Red velvet it good!! Bars are overly sweet. I believe supporting local businesses but be friendlier. Say hello. Say thank you. Say goodbye. Be kind. It doesn't hurt. 3rd time here and my last

It's my lucky day. It's thanksgiving Monday and my usual go to place for pumpkin pie was closed today. I was craving pumpkin pie and driving to Shoppers McInyre to get one of those mediocre pumpkin pies, when I happened to see this place open. I went inside and got a piece of cake and it was sooooooo good I ended up buying 5 more pieces and 2 large pizzas. I had the pizza here a long time ago and it is very good. So happy this place was open. Too bad the pumpkin pie was sold out, I will for sure be coming back to try that. The cake is just unbelievably good.

I am from the United States and whenever I visit Thunder Bay, I always make sure to stop at Agostino Deli, a famous shopping destination for all things Italian. This family-owned store offers an incredible selection of authentic Italian products. One of their standout offerings is their freshly baked bread, which can be ordered in advance and brought straight to your table. The homemade Italian sausages are also highly recommended; they are perfect for grilling and bursting with flavor.
The hwy was closed due to a wreck last night, and I was stuck in Longlac for the night. I met a man named Chef John in the subway there. He told me to come here to try the Lucy sandwich. It was a side quest from my original journey, but sometimes things happen for a reason, so I drove straight here, and I am so happy I did. I bought both the Lucy and Cosimo Sandwich, and both were so delicious and super fresh! The Lucy sandwich was my favorite lol I will definitely return one day! Was a great meal to have on my journey! It was so worth the extra drive! Thank you!

Holland Bakery, a beloved establishment from the 1970s to 1990s, is known for its delectable baked goods and exceptional bread. As a child, the fondest memories were indulging in warm glazed donuts while sitting on nearby benches or doorsteps. The bakery was a delightful family-owned business that would often surprise customers with cookies. Its warm and inviting ambiance made one wish they could dine in.
Most delicious glazed donuts I’ve ever had, definitely better than any chain could ever make. Great bread too. Definitely need to try everything else they have!

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or hosting a corporate event, their selection spans from classic cheesecakes to decadent chocolate mousse and everything in between.
I ordered regular custom cupcakes with photos on them and they turned out beautifully and delicious! I’ve also had gluten free cupcakes from here for different birthdays and loved and devoured them each and every time. So delicious, especially for gluten free and with dairy free icing, you can’t even tell the difference between gluten free and normal cupcakes!

I ordered the cake at the very last minute from carols cake , and I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect — but wow, it turned out amazing! Not only was it ready on such short notice, but it looked beautiful and tasted even better. The cake was super moist, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. You’d never guess it was a rushed order — the quality was top-notch. Everyone who had a slice absolutely loved it, and I was seriously impressed by how fresh and well-decorated it was. Huge thanks to the team for pulling it off — you made my day! I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

I pre ordered a cake and when I got home I realized it had the wrong icing. I had asked for buttercream but it had whipped icing instead.

As a mother of 3, I’m extremely forgetful. Planned a retirement party for my mom and FORGOT to order the cake. Tried out the online ordering page, but nothing on there is what I was looking for. So I gave her a call (online it says no orders within 48 hours) which it was at the 48 hours. I wanted a basic cake, as I knew it was “last minute.” Tried asking for half chocolate, half vanilla ATLEAST. She was so rude about it with a very stern uh NO. No other explanation. I’m a very understanding person, if she would have elaborated with a “ohh no, I can’t due to the short notice, sorry” instead she gave me unnecessary attitude. At this point I knew she was going to continue giving me a hard time so I was nervous to ask for the colour theme we had planned. As I wanted a basic cake, I was originally okay with it as-is…until we received the cake today. A plain cake, with very little sprinkles. I’m wondering how she would feel bringing that her mother’s retirement party. Honestly would have been okay if she just told me NO altogether instead of the attitude due to short notice. Lol. Anyway, won’t be back

European Meats & Deli is a beloved spot known for its delicious Beef Jerky, offering a perfect balance of moisture and just the right amount of spice. The deli also boasts an impressive selection of meats, fresh bread, and pepperettes. Customers appreciate the availability of beef soup bones and the friendly, family-like atmosphere created by the staff. Many patrons have fond memories associated with this establishment, making it a must-visit whenever they are in town.
This place smells exactly like a deli that makes there own products should. We got some store made garlic sausage and capicola, and both were outstanding. The service was great. It was the samples that made us decide the capicola was the right choice, and was it ever good.

Ordered a salted Christmas ham in November, was told to pick up today, December 23. When I got there they acted all confused and couldn’t find our name on the order. I told them my wife ordered it in November and I even saw our name on the list I told them. She went to the back and had manager come out and tell me they sold our Christmas ham to someone else and nowhere else in town will have any, good luck. Piss poor service and have had a problem of some kind here every year. Will not be back or recommend to my enemy

I absolutely love love love the Beef Jerky here, it’s the most delicious, moist, perfectly spicy, not too spicy just the right kind of heat! They have an amazing selection of deli meats and fare, fresh bread and pepperettes! I really love the fact that they sell beef soup bones here too! The staff is always friendly and helpful, sometimes it feels like I’m visiting family when I come through the door and I am treated with love and kindness here!

This is the only place that I purchase my deli meat from. I grew up with meat from here as my dad and the owner were great friends. They’ve both passed on now but his son still continues the tradition of excellence and even though I’ve moved 4 hrs away, I bring my cooler bag and still pick up all my favourites every time I’m in Thunder Bay. The very best!!

Nestled in Thunder Bay, Current River Bakery is a charming spot that has stood the test of time, delighting locals with its array of traditional Finnish and Canadian baked goods. From flaky croissants and gooey cinnamon rolls to unique treats like Persians and Korva Puusti, there's something for every palate. The bakery also specializes in hearty rye breads and festive coffee breads made during the holiday season.
This place has survived decades. Best Persians in t-bay. The cardamom coffee bread is a personal fav. The bakery accepts cash and debit but not credit cards. They are closed Monday/Tuesday. Go early to ensure they don't sell out.

This place was recommended to be the best. looks delicious. Prices seemed reasonable. Friendly staff, kept talking. Don’t take credit cards. Wasn’t until after I left, I realized, was over charged by $10.00. I think she charged for a dozen instead of 6 Persian pastries.

Refused to let my 4 year old use the rest room in an emergency. Their treats are great but they lost a sale and future purchases from this family. You don't refuse a child the use of a bathroom, and then give the parent attitude when we have to leave. Use discretion next time

Came on a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed :) we got the almond croissant, white chocolate choux, choco 2.0 and the red velvet. They each had varying levels of sweetness and filling but overall very aesthetically pleasing and tasted great! Can't wait to visit again and try out future flavours.

All of the reviews are true. This place is not kidding around with their croissants. Absolutely the most perfect croissants I've ever had. Absolutely gorgeous aesthetically, and so insanely delicious. Get in line early and get them before they sell out. The other pastries are also top notch. A blessing in downtown.

I’m a regular at Windy Shores, it’s my favourite cafe in town! Sadie and Kyle are amazing - welcoming and professional. I’m always greeted like a friend. (And to the woman who said Sadie greeted her with a frown, and the oat milk latte was sour - nothing could be further from the truth! Sadie is sweet and kind, and the oat milk latte is my regular drink - I had just had an excellent one that very afternoon!) Anne O’Brien

Ordered a latte with oat milk, which I felt was over priced and was very disappointed when I couldn’t even enjoy it because it tasted so sour! Could only bring myself to drink a third and now have a belly ache. The girl working had a frown on her face and did not seem particularly friendly. Only thing this place has going for it as far as my experience is the location. Will return tomorrow and see if they can make it up to me and may change my mind.

Great location! We sit on the patio or take our items out into the marina. Great variety of different hot and cold drinks, and amazing baking! The orange glazed cookies are delightful.

When I first moved to Thunder Bay, and I had no friends, I decided that I was going to try all the cafes in the area to amuse myself. I even made a whole ranking system for my cafe visits. Windy Shores Cafe ranked the highest out of all the cafes in the area, and my experiences with the FRIENDLY staff just keeps getting better and better. They have a great selection of drinks, fresh baked goods, and a comfy/aesthetic sitting area. They're also one of the few cafes open on sunday. You'd be hard pressed to find a better location tbh. I can't say enough good things about this place.

Everything I've ever had at Uncommon Baked Goods has become my new favourite treat - which is why I ordered a custom cake from them for my wedding. It was probably a shorter turnaround than most custom orders, but it turned out absolutely fantastic. I seriously could not have asked for a better cake or a better experience.

This is the best baking in town. The creativity of the owner and pastry chef is unparalleled in Thunder Bay. I've been told by more than one person that the croissants are the best they've had.

Uncommon Baked Goods was a great find, everything we tried was top notch. We stopped in after grabbing coffee at St. Paul Roastery, and it more than made up for their neighbor bakery "Swell" being sold out. Plus, the market it’s in has a great vibe overall.

Just tried to eat a Pep&Cheese pizza severed from the satellite location inside the Eaton's Building (Goods&Co.) The only thing Hand's about this is it was Hands down the Worst pizza I've ever had. No where on their boards do they mention its not a regular crust, nvm that is whole wheat or something drier and as thin as the cardboard box it came in. After I got it I thought I'd give it a chance anyways. The blend of mozza and gouda was ok at best, but they could of used pizza grade instead of bulk store quality cheese. The little bit of pepperoni barely gave it a taste of it to know it was there and lastly, the sauce tastes like nothing more that tomato soup out of a no name can before you add the extra water. Nvr will I go back.
Croe O — Google review
We were really looking forward to trying your pizza, but unfortunately a few things fell short. Some of the ingredients we wanted weren’t available when ordering, so we went with bacon, mushroom, and pesto. When we got home, we realized the pesto was missing from the pizza, which was disappointing—especially considering the price point. We also found the pizzas to be quite oily. That said, we did enjoy the base and overall flavours, and the restaurant has a great vibe.

Oh...WOW!! This pizza was fantastic! First time visiting the area and so thrilled to have found this little pizzeria. One of the top pizzas I have ever had. Staff were very friendly and our pizza came out pretty quick. I wish I had been able to try their bread too. Located in an old house, the dining area has tons of character; it's small though so no large groups. If you are visiting Thunder Bay and you want pizza, you HAVE to come here. Watch their hours - open Wed-Sat only.

"The 'Fungus Among Us' pizza is an absolute delight. The blend of mushrooms, onions, and green olives creates a perfect balance of savory and tangy flavors. The thin sourdough crust made from local Brule Creek Farms Flour is a crispy masterpiece. The mozzarella and Thunder Oak Gouda cheese blend adds a creamy richness that's truly exceptional. Customize it with three toppings or try it as is – either way, it's a must-try for pizza lovers. This one has become my favorite, and I keep coming back for more!"

We stopped by Wood Fired one evening, and the pizza was absolutely amazing! The dough tasted super fresh, and the cheese just melted perfectly. It took about 20-30 minutes, but you could tell it was made fresh. Mostly thin crust options, and honestly, I’d love to come back!
