The prices are a bit steep, but quality of items definitely makes it worth it. The actual interface could use some tweaking. Which I'm surprised hasn't been updated and they've been open for a while now. It feels glitchy and any descriptions are lacking. Their fb page is usually updated, but it would be nice to see it on the order screen vs having to also look online. The items come out cold and it does say to let them come to room temp for best flavor which is true. The difference is worth the wait.

Ecklof Bakery is a Jamestown classic, and I'm so glad I finally made it back after 20 years! My…read morefriend is a regular here, and she suggested we grab lunch. Walking in, I instantly loved the vibe -- cozy, welcoming, and the smell of fresh-baked goods hits you the moment you step through the door. It's the kind of place that feels like home, no matter how long you've been away. For lunch, I went with the 4-inch sub and, let me tell you, it was the perfect size for me. It was plenty of food and I couldn't even finish it (which is rare!). It came with one of their famous pink stripe cookies, which was just as delicious as I remembered. Soft, sweet, and totally iconic. We sat at the counter, and I love that vibe. You order and pay at the register, and they deliver your food. Ecklof's isn't just a bakery; they serve breakfast and lunch too, with a full bakery case that's impossible to resist. If you haven't been here yet (or it's been a while), it's definitely worth a visit. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy the atmosphere, it's a true Jamestown gem.

I like to order from Local Businesses at Christmastime…read more I called and spoke to the owner of this business about a Christmas Gift I wanted her to mail out. That was in mid November! I will say her cookies are quite delicious. I wrote a few times. We had some messages through Facebook and then the phone call. We spoke about my order. She was going to call me back to complete the order. She never called me back. I was forced to order from Macy's. When I wrote her to politely ask her what happened, and why she didn't call me back she became very rude and snarky. She said she was overwhelmed with health issues. She should have just told me from the beginning that she could not fullfill my $100 order. She was insulting and told me that I "wasn't the type of customer she wanted" wow! She could have cared less and took responsibility for messing up the order but still blamed me for asking what happened. I won't be back. Good products. Rude and Unprofessional customer service.

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.
