What a fantastic find on a day trip to Hamilton for a kid's basketball games. This is a well curated market, carrying amazing quality local and Canadian items. Wide range of items from veggies to pottery!! Of note is the local dairy, cheese, and butter; Canadian made teas, sauces, and drinks. There's also a fantastic cafe and spots to sit and enjoy a delish canadiano (brilliant, instead of americano) and freshly make baked goods. I will surely return when I get to Hamilton again. I bought some teas to bring home and enjoyed a canadiano, almond butter chocolate chip cookie and almond croissant on site. read more

Stopped in for a few pastries as we were passing through Hamilton. Almond croissants are a favorite of mine, and Dundurn Market's did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious! The surprising pastry that I wish I had grabbed a few extra of, was the pear & parsnip scone. I might have to drive back just to Canada just for those! read more

Local hero award unofficial nomination! Dundurn Market has remained open as a service to the community since the initial shutdown. They have local delivery, contactless pick up , and easy online shopping. From the beginning they have implemented measures to keep staff and customers as safe as possible. There are now markers outside on where to stand socially distanced apart while you wait to shop. I so appreciate the limited number of customers in the store (usually 1-3), required staff and customers mask wearing, as well as hand sanitizer in several locations. Usually the door is open as well letting fresh air in and circulation going. The store selection and supply has been able to keep up with the demand, which also means supporting local farmers, brewers, restaurants, bakeries, sweets makers and sorts of artisan goodies they supply. We couldn't be luckier to have a place like Dundurn Market to rely on during the pandemic. Thanks to the whole staff and suppliers for your hard work and delicious food! They have a great selection of local brews, wines, flowers, ice creams, frozen meats and fish, produce - you name it! Bicycle delivery available too. I have especially loved getting to purchase goods from other local businesses like Grit & Grain, Fairweather brews, Collective Arts brewing, Sweet & Simple (chocolates and sweets) and Berkeley North (yum fresh pasta, sauces and breads!) I've even been lucky enough to find Donut Monster donuts at times which really helps me limit the number of places I would have to go or order from to to get all those products - especially the alcohol. We are big fans of the food, pastries, groceries, sustainable packaging, service and community commitment. Thanks again!! read more

I love the layout of this place and their selection of breakfast/brunch sandwiches, the entries and their bakery items! This place is a great location to have a quiet brunch date with a foodie friend that will appreciate the menu here. I got the Nutella bar which they had for tasting, it's just epic, more epicness than any Tim Hortons could try to replicate. I also got the market breakfast sandwich which includes a choice of ham, bacon, tomato and avocado or salmon and avocado and of course I'd go with anything with salmon in it. I also go their daily special today which was a shrimp melt sandwhich. Like who would think of that! Yumm read more

I have a feeling that many of the previous negative reviews are from when Dundurn Market was under different management. Ever since it changed over to the new team (who also own Bikeables and Coffeecology I believe), it has become an amazing neighbourhood staple. Not only have they fully committed to the concept of a market (selling local and organic produce, meat, dairy, etc), they also continue to run a cafe with excellent coffee and delicious daily soups, sandwiches, and treats. My family and I visit at least a few times a week to get milk/eggs/groceries, or just to grab a coffee and a treat with the kids. Thank you Dundurn Market for being an amazing part of the Kirkendall community!! read more

No matter how good your grocery/food offerings are... no matter how cool the space is... if your customer services sucks, you won't last. Utterly unwelcoming, unfriendly service... too bad... really like the DM but can't tolerate being made to feel like an inconvenience to the staff... great Americanos, though read more

This is a great breakfast spot, I come here about once a week. Breakfast is a lot cheaper than lunch (compare a BLT croissant for $5 to a sandwich at lunch for $15) they used to serve it up on a nice plate with a decent amount of fruit but now they serve up food on a tacky diner platter and it just doesn't suit the aesthetic of the coffee shop. The coffee usually tastes burnt so I've stopped ordering it, I ordered an orange juice at breakfast and expected like a cup of it and instead received a kids sized juice box which was $3. Really a rip off. Sometimes I order a mocha but it's insanely bitter, and the ice tea is just brewed plain tea with no flavour whatsoever. Food wise this place is great! I'm still conflicted with my beverage choice here. read more

Went there today with 2 friends to grab a quick breakfast. I ordered a French toast, and my friends the Huevos Rancheros and the Bagel with Salmon. Overall, it was a bit pricey for the quality of food - the french toast was 1 slice and some fruit (including water dew - first time I've had french toast and water dew; wasn't the best..) and my friends had similar reviews about their food. Coffee was great tho! read more

Ordered two market boxes, and groceries. Came to a total of $312 which I happily eat transferred I had to wait until 5:55 on Saturday evening the next day for my delivery and it would seem that somehow they got confused and thought I just wanted to give them 250 extra dollars because I got to pathetic market boxes with substitutions that made no sense and we're not comparable in price at all and this is not the first time this is happened they claim to be on our side and we're all in this together they're in this for them selves do yourself a favour and order from someplace else read more

I love their delivery service, and their selection of humanely raised, grass fed animal and dairy products and organic produce.

Formally one of my fav's for brunch with my wife, have previously recommended to many friends. Went there Sunday and was shocked to discover that due to a management decision they now only offer coffee and a small selection of scones/muffins. What a disappointment will not be spending my money here again! To many other choices for a good brunch in Dundas/Hamilton area. Poor decision management team. Possible rethink!!!! read more

First time at the Dundurn Market this afternoon and had a positive experience. I purchased some produce and bread. They had a good selection and shelves were stocked. Service was excellent, no complaints there. I will definitely be returning, possibly for breakfast or lunch! read more

I have been looking forward to trying this place since I moved on to Dundurn and today was the day. My fiancé and I went for brunch around 11:00am. The decor and the restaurant itself were so cute - very trendy. The "open kitchen" concept is a little weird - I didn't really get it. We ordered a plain coffee, and a vanilla latte. Both tasted bitter and burnt - didn't even finish. I ordered the Turkey Monte Cristo type sandwich and potatoes, and my fiancé ordered a special, Beef hash. My sandwich was ok - nothing to write home about. And the potatoes it came with were very clearly made long before and kept sitting for a long time - not fresh tasting at all. My fiancé's "hash" was basically the same potatoes as mine with added pieces of beef. BBQ sauce on top and 2 poached eggs. Underwhelming to say the least, and also not fresh potatoes. I am willing to give this place a try again and try a dinner dish - and something I know has to be made fresh (or least I would hope so). We also saw the sliced turkey sitting in a big Tupperware just out on the counter, as well as the cups of ketchup just hanging out there too. Little bit off- putting. I really wanted to like this place so close to home read more

Just went in for what we thought would be a quick lunch.... but I didn't get any lunch! Within minutes of sitting down, one of the staff came over to ask what we had ordered, apparently they had already lost our order. We told them again, and husband got his soup and huevos rancheros shortly thereafter but my sandwich never happened. While waiting for my food, another staff member came over and gave us a paper bag; I asked if that was my sandwich and she said "no, it's a scone and some cookies because we're sorry for the confusion." Great! That means my sandwich should be on its way, right? No. My husband finished his entire lunch and STILL no sandwich. At this point, he went back to the counter where the cook swore that he had made it, but it was magically not on the pick-up shelf. Husband then asked "so someone else in this restaurant is eating my wife's lunch right now?" He was met with a couple of vacant stares and shrugs of shoulders. We ended up asking for our money back since the sandwich was nowhere to be seen after 25 minutes... this presented yet another challenge because they couldn't figure out how to refund money. We did get our $8.50 back eventually after much confusion and another 5 minutes of waiting around. The food my husband got to eat? As another reviewer said, nothing to write home about. read more
