Cute little spot to meet for breakfast or lunch. I’ve been here twice now & have not been disappointed either times. They have great prices for their big portions. The atmosphere is very relaxed & casual. The waitress is friendly & gives great customer service.

I had heard about Brenda's from a friend who rides motorcycle and he had suggested I try it out. The decor is a little worn and dated, but that only adds to the charm. I was seated and served by Brenda herself. I have worked in the food service industry before, and Brenda has a way that serves you which makes you feel like your part of the family. I got a skillet to begin with and it was very good. I have to admit that I am a bit of a butter tart nut, and Brenda's doesn't disappoint. I asked Brenda what butter tarts she had and she rhymed them off in the same manner you would expect a bartender telling you what they had on tap. I was truly impressed. I got a banana pepper butter tart? I love spicey food, and this was perfect. It was a great day for a motorcycle ride, and only made even better by stopping in at Brenda's. In one word - Awesome!

I found Brenda's Place and Bakery through the ourcommunitydollar.com business directory and I was so glad to find this amazing local gem! The breakfast was delicious. The service and atmosphere at the neighbourhood break nook is incredible. If you like breakfast and amazing baked goods I would highly recommend the visit!

This is one of my Favourite Breakfast restaurants. The staff are friendly and efficient and the food is fantastic. I love the fact that they accept a portion of their bill in OUR Community Dollars.

A great lunch spot with friendly staff and generous owners. Everything was fresh, and much of it was local. We were so full from the delicious eggs Benedict and club sandwich that we had to take our butter tarts to go. Can't wait to try them!

Brenda's is a hidden treasure in Stratford. The newest owner, Brian (a Newfoundlander) promotes the maritime hospitality of home and community. Table cloths and decorations to match the seasons and celebrations, a (dine in/take out) menu that consists of delicious homemade food, which are reasonably priced and made with love. The huge homemade bakery items speak for themselves...and they scream YUM. The staff, esp. Julie, is always eager to please and keeps the coffee pouring with a smile and a great attitude. Many return customers attend on a consistent basis, meeting up for breakfast or lunch with friends and leaving with a smile of satisfaction. Brian has transformed this wee hub of greatness with hard work and dedication and deserves an applause. See ya next week....Dee
