    > De Garie supplies places in the city like Cheese Boutique, San Remo Bakery, La Rocca Creative Kitchen and nearby coffee shop, Big Guy’s Little Coffee Shop.

    > Depending on where you go, expect different flavours. Cheese Boutique has a variety pack with flavours like cinnamon-raison, hazelnut, coconut and crème brûlée; while San Remo has toasted marshmallow and Brazil nut, for example. De Garie doesn’t do delivery for individual orders, but people can email him for a no-contact pickup from outside his home.

    I have a friend who makes the best butter tarts in Ontario. I know this because A: I also make very good buttertarts and B: I think I’ve tried every butter tart in Ontario that’s with trying.

    It’s very convenient for me.

    I went to a play in Stratford a few years ago and this diner advertised they had the “best” butter tarts but they were so gross, my friend and I agreed WAY too sweet, wrong texture, etc.

    I am very tempted to try these though. Anyone know how they are sold at San Remo? Like as individual tarts?
