Creemore is a lovely town full of cute shops, artisans and, in spite of its small size, an impressive number of foodie finds. Just walking down the main street transports you to a different time, with welcoming independent business owners who can’t wait to share their unique wares with you, including many delicious and creative culinary offerings. The name Creemore is derived from “cri mor” in Gaelic which means “big heart” and just one visit will have you feeling the heart of this lovely community.
The Bank Cafe
The Bank Cafe is a Creemore staple, serving beverages, baked goods and grab and go meals. They are best known for their carrot cake but My other go-tos are their donuts and their Thai Noodle salad which are pretty amazing as well. It’s a great spot to grab a quick bite on the go.
Creemore Bakery
Creemore Bakery sells a lovely variety of beverages as well as baked goods with options for lots of different dietary requirements. Run by a mother daughter team made up of a baker and a Holistic Nutritionist, there’s really something for everyone at this cute Bakery/Café. They also have a cute dining area and back patio to enjoy your purchases.
Chez Michel

Mother Butter
If you’re a shortbread lover, be sure to place an order at Mother Butter, Creemore’s resident shortbread goddess! She is a home-based baker but you can also find her cookies at the 100 mile store or the Farmers' market…if they’re not sold out because they’re so amazing!
