Jo-Anna's Bakery

Bakery: Jo-Anna's Bakery and Cafe 
Address: 212 Main St, Thessalon ON 
Website: facebook
Style: Canadian
Price: $$ 

Jo-Anna's bakery and cafe is located in a big white house in the heart of Thessalon. From the outside and given the bakery-cafe title, you'd almost expect it to be more cafe than bakery; you know what I mean, a few homemade baked goods at the counter made for the express purpose of going with that hot drink you're enjoying on-site. In this sense, I was pleasantly surprised, since Jo-Anna's is indeed a bakery as well, with loaves of bread on shelves next to the cash along with a selection, albeit small, of classic baked goods like butter tarts and squares.

I decided to try the cinnamon bun ($2.50). Maybe a bit clumsily built, with big chunks of dough that didn't really stick together, but it was quite good with a slightly crunchy crust and sticky filling that was loaded with cinnamon flavour. A good, definitely above average classic cinnamon bun.
