Blake G Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The Orrville Bakery Barista is impressive. You can check the Tripadvisor reviews in the link below. I've never had a better coffee. The baked goods and sandwiches are excellent. This little gem has been under the current management since May 2014. I now realize how very close it is to OFSC Trail C103D, commonly called the Seguin Trail. One of the trail's road crossings is a mere stone's throw from the Bakery Barista at the main intersection of Orrville. For those who don't know, here's a map showing the location of Orrville, and an image showing the Seguin Trail and the Orrville Bakery Barista. I doubt that snowmobiles are permitted on Highway 518, and there is a distance of approximately 100 metres between the Trail and the side streets (see the yellow question mark). I have no idea how Orrville locals ride to the trail, but perhaps there is a secret back trail. I placed a question mark on the map to show this stretch of 518. In my opinion this is by far the best food near the trail between Highways 400 and 11, and a good distance beyond. The Bakery staff didn't seem to know much about organized snowmobiling, so perhaps there could be a discussion about possible trail guide sponsorship? For now at least, it is a great little stop when doing road trips in the area. The place is NOT open seven days a week, so winter hours will need to be verified. Right now I believe it is open five days a week. It is not licenced, and would seat around 12 or 18 people in the back room. Not a full dining experience, but perfect for a coffee and sandwich or treat.

SuperG Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yes Blake G, It is a great lil gem that I frequent quite often when im out on my quad. Im also T.P with park to park trail and we got them as one of our map sponsor as well they sell our trail passes there. The owners are great people that are providing a great service to the community. PS, the pizza buns and score brownie are to die for . They do close on mondays and thursdays i believe and they will continue to be open in the winter. I was wanting to have a talk with them about snowmobile opportunities but they have been so busy this summer that im waiting till they quiet down a bit so we can have the time to go over some of it. I dont see why snowmobiles wouldnt be allowed on the side of that hwy even for just a bit to get to the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The Seguin actually crosses 518 hwy at two locations both within roadrunning to the barista. My cottage is in the area and I have never experienced police problems running the side of the hwy. The Seguin hwy crossings of 518 are favourite locations for OPP Ride and document checks.

DaveTess Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Tess and I and our friends have stopped there a couple time this past summer on the quads and look forward to stopping in the winter on the sled. Wonderful hidden gem. Hope they leave the gnome out for the winter so we can get a picture beside him as well as the one we have with the quad. We call in the Gnome Stop.

catinental couch Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 My parents built the Duck Lake Store as the original garage part with the apartment on top.I grew up at the first property on the left on Duck Lake Road.The house burned down years ago but I think the old 1 car garage may still be standing.I moved from there in 1972.

The one car garage you mentioned has been gone for many years, although I do remember your house and recall your dad landing his float plane on Duck Lake.
