So it's basically a grab and go kind of bakery they don't have plenty of seating apart from some hightop bar stools facing the window looking outside. So I ordered a coffee which was very fresh didn't seem like it was sitting in the percolator for hours. I also had a salted caramel chocolate tart. It was hard on the outside and gooey and chocolatey in the inside I would give it a 10 out of 10. My daughter got a cake pop which was very standard but tasted great. we were lucky to get the high top facing the window.I thoroughly enjoyed sitting there watching the car show that evening and enjoying my coffee here.

When I lived in Montreal, my go-to cupcake place (and probably my overall favourite cupcake shop) was D'Liche, which sadly didn't make it through the covid quarantine. In London, I enjoyed Chick Cake Boss and when I came to Hamilton, I went to Bitten. However, none quite lived up to D'Liche, or even the Cupcake Shoppe...until Beyond the Batter. One bite and I deemed it my new favourite cupcake place. I had been drooling over the flavour list for probably a week now and finally convinced my brother to go grab some. We ended up with an assortment of flavours that not only sound delicious but look lovely. Work fast though because my brother got to the shop about 2.5 hours after they opened and a few flavours were already sold out. He got home with the cupcakes while my sister was on a work call. We are impatient though so we decided to try a cupcake anyways and just grabbed the one we knew she'd have no interest in - Macaroon, a coconut cake cupcake topped with chocolate frosting rolled in toasted coconut. We split it and both fell in love at first bite. My brother is not a frosting fan so for him cupcakes are all about the cake and he has been raving about how light and fluffy, yet flavourful the cake was all afternoon. As for me, I love frosting and cake and the flavours were just so spot on and rich that I was happy. Often frosting/icing can be end up tasting like icing sugar above all else but that wasn't the case here at all. When my sister got off her call, we went in for a second - Men are from Mars, a chocolate cupcake topped with malt frosting dipped in a chocolate shell with a caramel centre. It sounds like a lot but once again they nailed each flavour and they all worked together so well. I normally avoid chocolate cakes but this one was delicious and I'd definitely recommend. In fact, I'd recommended everything I've tried thus far and I'm sure that opinion isn't about to change.

Quite surprised not that many reviews for this amazing place!! I first encountered it pre-pandemic…read morewhile hiking at Dundas Peak (across the street-ish). I saw a huge line out of the door if this tiny house by the side of the road and we decided to pop by and so glad we did! We recently just went and they now have a drive through window. A drive through window to BUY PIEEEEEEEE and other things :) The storefront is quite small but full of goodies. They have pies, apple fritters, jam preserves, frozen savoury pies, honey, cookies, and a lot of other baked goods and what not. Pies come in small or large size. First time we bought two smalls and thought we would slowly eat one at home and share the other with friends. We thought wrong! Devoured both before we even left Burlington Hamilton area!! This time, we got two again: apple crumble and raspberry. We went around 3pm and many flavours were running low or out of stock. I highly recommend getting any of the crumble pies because the crumble is a chewy, full of texture layer on top of the pie versus a normal pie crust top. Our friends ordered different flavours so we had a nice time trying each other's by the picnic tables outside. So far my top choices are any of the crumble (apple, peach, rhubarb, and others) and then it would be the berry ones. I love a little bit of tartness! The staff are super friendly as well and always offering suggestions if you are a bit indecisive. GET THE PIES. Stop by and see and taste for yourself!!

Update on the establishment's lying practices. The menu that they use in store in which you order…read morefrom doesn't reflect the actual prices that you pay at checkout. I have been overcharged numerous times without realising, until yesterday.. Look at the breakdown and explain to me how their calculations make any sense.. I placed an order for the same item I usually eat; make your own sambousak x 2. On the menu, it is listed as $7.99/each with three toppings included and any additional toppings as 0.49 each with the exception of wild mushroom mix for 0.65. I ordered the three included toppings as mentioned and one additional topping - wild mushrooms listed as 0.65. In total, I was supposed to pay $7.99 * 2 = $15.98 + (0.65*2 = $1.30) = $17.28. Note that Pita bread for 0.99 is added to the receipt and isn't part of these calculations. At checkout, the cost was $20.97 before tax. I don't understand how they came up with this number. I've been repeatedly paying this amount on every visit for months.. When addressing this issue with the owner, first he said the menu isn't updated, then he made his own calculations without showing me and claimed to have mistakenly overcharged me by a dollar.. but still going back and recalculating, the numbers don't add up! These people are charging more without being transparent. Be on the lookout!

She assured us that these are better than any other that we've had before. With all the construction going on the street the businesses on Locke Street have banded together to support each other. If you spend a certain amount in one shop and go to another, show the second business your receipt from the first one for the discount. The box they put your goodies in is quite sturdy so you don't have to worry about everything shifting all over the place during your travels. The whoopie pie was a good ratio of chocolate cake to cream filling. I'm not a fan of cream but this went well with the cake mounds. My cousin did find the cake on the dry side. I don't like things that are very sweet so I found the butter tart on the sweet side but not too, too sweet. My cousin's friend loves butter tarts and said that the crust is really well done and the filling was runny but not too much. Also being $3 a piece is much better than $4.25 somewhere else.

Driving down Locke, Bitten ended up being pretty easy to find with it's bright, big, and bold signage. The inside is a lot of fun with neon walls and of course, a counter full of cupcakes, whoopie pies and butter tarts. We were greeted by two happy bakers who were so friendly and so helpful, especially given my brother-in-law has anaphylactic allergies to peanuts and soy protein so we often need to get some insight into their preparation processes. There weren't as much variety of whoopie pies as we hoped but there was a large selection of cupcakes so we decided to go for those instead. We told the lady serving us we weren't sure if we wanted six or twelve because our plan was to just get six but the flavours all seemed awesome. She told us to just start choosing and we'd go from there. I am pretty sure she knew we wouldn't just stick to six and we definitely didn't. Around the eight or ninth cupcake, it dawned on us there were twelve flavours total so we ended up with one of each. The cupcakes are so pretty and made for such a festive celebration. Honestly, they are some of the most beautifully decorated cupcakes I've seen which is always nice. Taste wise, I tried three over a few days: Rainbow, Fairy Bread and their red velvet. While I must say the first two (while fun and lovely) were a bit underwhelming since they were basically just vanilla cupcakes, their red velvet cupcake was wonderful. It was so moist and rich and had wonderful cream cheese frosting. The others were less stand out and memorable. Their other flavours seemed so intriguing though and going by the reactions of my family, I think they were also quite great. I would definitely return again. Between the friendly staff and the beautiful cupcakes with such wonderfully fun flavours, it is worth a visit!!

Sweet Paradise = part Italian grocery store/bakery! Complete with a hot/prepared food section…read more I wasn't sure about this place 'cause there weren't that many reviews and the existing ones are dated, but totally 5*! I got 3 bakery items: Tiramisu, Sicilian Cannoli, & a Peanut butter/Chocolate Cheesecake and all 3 of them were super fresh! Tiramisu was like homemade! Light and fluffy, not overly sweet. And I was able to taste the coffee liquor. Marscapone/cheese filling was LEGIT, not that cheap, canned whipping cream! Cannoli shell was still crispy. Again, filling was nice, light, and not too sweet. Pb/Choco Cheesecake was a bit richer, but still moist and not dried out from the fridge. Gf got a Cream Horn (flaky pastry shell) and she said it was nice and fresh as well. I usually avoid this pastry like the plague because it's usually stale AF. I'd *definitely* go back especially for the tiramisu (which not many ppl get right) and the cannoli!!!
