Best hot sauce and lattes in town. Unfortunately I have to take away a star because it seems like every time I want to go here they are always closed. Regardless I highly recommend this place. The owner is the best, she talked me into a pumpkin spice latte last year. I’ve always been against the hype of a PSL and thought I was too cool to order one. The owner proved me wrong

The baked goods are to die for and knowing that I am able to call a few days ahead to place an order is absolutely fantastic. The lattes are excellently crafted and I hope I am able to purchase that Cherry Birch blend sometime in the future. Super host!

Love this place! Owner is super nice, coffee is good, and they have the best muffins I've ever had! All the baked goods are great, and I love how everything they sell is Canadian. Also a great place to study or get work done because they have big tables and good wifi.

Stopped by today for first time as saw people mentioned the good scones in the reviews. Got a cheese and bacon one and was still warm. Ended up stopping by later to grab some of the unique sauces/food products made locally and others from across Canada. If you like food definitely worth checking out and great spot for gift buying too.

What a wonderful find in downtown Hamilton. The owner is delightful and sweet, the products are Canadian AND top notch, and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Do try the wax melts (heavenly) and lip balms if you are into that kind of thing. Highly recommended.

Shop has the best Canadian foodie options if you’re looking for a new sauce or jam or drink or treat!!! Always a blast looking around there and taking home the next new thing to try. The hot coffee is always delicious as well and the owner Lisa was kind enough to accommodate an order for me that was a variation to her menu which was super appreciated!
