At Faris Team, we love shining a light on the best local spots in the communities we serve—and when it comes to comfort food and small-town charm, Mariposa Market in Orillia is a longtime favourite. Located in the heart of downtown Orillia, this beloved market and bakery is famous for its towering Texas donuts, warm apple cider, and cozy, nostalgic atmosphere. Whether you're a longtime local or visiting for the first time, Mariposa is a must-visit.
Mariposa isn’t just a market—it’s a tradition. For those of us who grew up in Orillia, it brings back memories of childhood adventures, bike rides down Bay Street, and summer afternoons at Couchiching Beach. Sitting upstairs with a warm donut and cider feels like stepping back in time.
From its old-world charm to the irresistible aroma of fresh-baked goods, Mariposa Market makes you feel at home the moment you walk in.
You can't visit Mariposa without grabbing a Texas donut or NEW Grand Canuck Donut— giant, fluffy donuts that have become a local legend. Pair it with a steaming cup of apple cider, and you’ve got the perfect combo, whether you’re catching up with a friend, taking a break from house hunting, or reminiscing about the good old days.
