They poured our coffees into mugs and then we went over to another counter to fix them up with cream and sugar. Most of the tables were taken so we all sat at the window counter. The bakery has lots of freshly made baked goods from breads to cookies to pies and cakes. There are also savory dishes too. It can be a bit pricey but this place is located in a very touristy area. The seasonal baked goods looked so good and fresh. The apple fritter we got was big and very dense with a few apples in it. They were all out of the rhubarb squares we live so much. When you look into the back you can see all the girls working in their bonnets and cotton dresses. Very cute. Parking is an issue on busy days.

I really can't say enough of how delicious the scones are at this shop inside St. Jacob's Market. I tried the savoury cheese and chive scone, blueberry, raspberry white chocolate, pumpkin, and cinnamon scone - all were so fresh and full of flavour. None of them were overly sweet, which I loved. Even better how they were $1 each since I came close to closing time on a Saturday afternoon. Yes, they're a bit on the smaller side but for $1 each, I really couldn't complain after tasting each one! I also tried the lavender and honey macaron, which was unbelievably delicious! I love trying unique macaron flavours at different macaron shops and this was definitely one of the best flavours I've ever had! The crisp macaron shell combined with the melt in your mouth strong lavender honey filling was heavenly! Support this cute bakery - they deserve so much more recognition for the quality of baked goods that they make! I'm looking forward to my next visit and can't wait to try their other scones and macaron flavours!

I found the yummiest macarons ever at a stall in the St. Jacobs Farmers Market today (Thurs Oct…read more2nd). Apparently it was their first day vending at the market. I'm sure they will be a huge success. These macarons are incredibly delicious. The shells are light as air, moist and delicate, with good feet. The fillings are so bright and flavourful. There were four flavours when I purchased my dozen today. Strawberry, lemon, vanilla, and pistachio. I purchased three of each type and I've so far tried the pistachio and strawberry. Both are exceptionally good. The strawberry has a dollop of strawberry jam in the centre of the buttercream which really punches up that fresh strawberry flavour. I have now tried the lemon and the vanilla. The lemon was divine. Sweetly tart with a bit of lemon curd in the middle of the buttercream. Yummers. I wasn't expecting to like the vanilla as much as I did. I mean, it's vanilla, right? How good could it be? The answer, my friend, is unbelievably good. This is pure vanilla at its florally best. Yeah, that's right, I said it. Florally. There are specks of vanilla bean throughout the cookie and that gourmand floral note really shines through. This vendor will do exceptionally well. I guarantee it. These macarons can go up against some of the best in Toronto and come out on top. I'm totally a fan now. I hope the pastry chef starts expanding his flavour selection, but I know I'm just being greedy. If he's talking suggestions, I would request salted caramel, rose, and lavender. I would love to taste his take on a salted caramel. Mmm.

For many years my family bought all its meat from Stone Crock Meats & Cheese. However, in 2021 the…read morebusiness was taken over by something called the Fat Sparrow Group. All the long-time, friendly, and expert staff were gone. The product selection has declined as has the quality - a recently purchased chicken pie would have been more accurately described as a chick gravy pie. And, one day there was no bacon - a butcher shop with no bacon, unheard of. It's sad to see a local business that we've supported for many years go downhill.

They have a pretty good selection of raw meat, deli meat, cheese, eggs, pickles, and other condiments. The prices are a bit higher than what you'd find in a supermarket, but that's generally the case of all shops in the village. Tourist prices, I guess. I have purchased their eggs, hamburger patties, and pepperettes (the jalapeno flavoured ones are delish) and they are all fresh and tasty. I'm not a cheese fan so I can't comment on the selection or quality of the cheeses.

Grampa's Pretzels inside Peddler's Village is an absolute must-try when you're at the St Jacobs…read moreMarket! Even if you're not typically a pretzel enthusiast, this place will convert you. While you won't find any actual grandpas on site, what you will discover is a team of three generations of skilled women meticulously crafting the ultimate soft pretzels right before your eyes. From shaping the dough to the boiling and baking process, it's a mesmerizing experience. Be prepared to wait in line for about 20 minutes to place your order, but trust me, it's worth it. Grampa's offers options, including sugar cinnamon and the classic butter and salt. They even provide a side package of mustard if that's your preference. What sets these pretzels apart is their perfect soft chewiness, unlike the typical hard, snack-type pretzels you might be used to. And they don't skimp on portions here - you'll receive a generous serving. Most patrons don't settle for just one; it's common to see people buying multiple pretzels. So, if you find yourself in line, embrace the opportunity to get a few more of these treats! Grab a beer from TWB across from it to complement that pretzel. As many shops in this area, it's just a counter but there's a few spots to sit inside the Peddler's Village and also outdoor patio seating.
