I am so happy that we did because the pistachio gelato I ordered and the cookies and creme my boyfriend had were amazing! The consistency was perfect; smooth and creamy! The flavor was spot on, tasted great and came with a complimentary waffle slice! There were two women working while I went in and they were very pleasant, helped us out and let us try as many flavors of gelato that we wanted. The shop itself is small and quaint, with lots of sweet options. What caught my eye were the salt water taffy in many odd flavors such as maple bacon. Unfortunately I didn't grab any, I am still regretting that but there is always next time because I will be back!

Trust me, it's worth the calories. Lol They have many flavors of chocolate truffles like peanut butter, hazelnut, almond, coconut, lemon cream, etc. and the they come in both milk chocolate and dark chocolate versions. You can also buy packaged chocolate truffles or build your own package or gift basket to your liking. It's so fun wondering around the store and checking out the gift boxes. All the customers seemed to be enjoying it. The staff are very friendly and care about providing great service.

I have to visit this little peanut shop every time I visit St. Jacobs. It's a landmark in the area…read moreand for a good reason! They have an extensive selection of flavourful nuts and chocolates. I remember seeing peanuts, pecans, cashews, and almonds, and they have different each one in different flavours. They also have chocolate blueberries, cherries, raisins, cranberries, and clusters. Best to just go and check it out for yourself as I can't remember all their products. You won't be disappointed! They're all fairly priced as well. Most items are about 125g to 200g for $2.99. Some products come in a smaller and larger package. Must-try items: peanuts enrobed in a crispy potato chip shell and caramel crisp clusters They're highly addictive! The caramel crisp clusters were so good that I almost finished the entire box in one sitting. Soft chewy caramel dipped in chocolate with little crispy pieces! Craving it from just thinking about it. The crispy potato chip peanuts come in many flavours and I have never seen it being sold anywhere else! Super crispy shell! They have little containers of peanuts on the shelf above some products for you to try before purchasing. They have the crispy potato shell for sunflower seeds too, but there are less flavours to choose from. I believe they also sell ice cream during the summer and the staff are very friendly. St. Jacobs is a beautiful quaint little town near Waterloo so aside from going to Picard's, you can also stop by the town (another 2-3 minute drive). Definitely worth visiting!

Usually they have dishes out for you to…read moreactually try the flavours before you buy, but we got in a bit late so they cleaned all that up. They have coated nuts, ones that are roasted in a specific flavouring, etc. So it's a nice variety for you to take home and try / gift to your friends/ family! They also have some unique snacks and candies like banana chips, special kettle chips, home made candy, and I hear they got some popsicles/ ice cream in the summer ;) Nice place to stop by and grab a treat if you're heading for Saint Jacobs! Oh! And everythings quite a nice, decent price.

It may be a late summer addition but Sweet Caroline's Ice Cream & Treats will welcome you with open-armed hospitality, great service and chalk-boards full of 'Kool' sweet selections! These frosty delights and toppings can be dressed in scrumptious homemade waffle cones or slathered on top of Poffertjes, a traditional Dutch treat of mini, fluffy pancakes made with yeast and buckwheat flour. The name alone invokes visions of carnivals, festivities and palatal pleasure! This is a worthwhile trip, yielding a delightful beginning!

BEST in Kitchener! I have searched in this funny little town with not many straight roads…read more... Hands down better than the rest in Kitchener, Downtown Waterloo and Waterloo outskirts. The bake goods are FRESH FRESH everyday, this is a little shop and I wish they were bigger and closer to Fairway Road. Actually they could open another location, that is an idea. The Dobos cake is fantastic, and the Romanian Kids Cake ( Translation). They have some Romanian and Hungarian prepackaged spices, noodles, etc. I am fine with the price they charge, I just wish they also had bread and were closer to me! LOL All the best to Crema, keep it coming and to the readers: enjoy anything you get there!

There are a lot of wonderful shops, and it's very walkable. We stopped in this story, which is nominally an olive oil and herbs shop, but because it was summertime and it is hot, I suspect they decided to diversify, and they also have some ice cream. It was good, but not jump-out-of-your-skin wonderful. The counter was a little disorganized for checking out, but it seems like it would be a better place to visit for olive oil purposes.

I was here on a walking culinary tour…read more The tour met at our first stop where we were introduced to Harisson, our fabulous tour guide. The Village Olive Grove is a gourmet extra virgin olive oil and vinegar shop that imports from all over the world. There we learned how to tell if extra virgin olive oil is authentic and how it's made. We also learned how to taste vinegar without the acidic flavour getting in the way. Just when you think you're a foodie, you learn something new! Love it! Last, but not least, we sampled Mapleton's Organic Ice Cream. It was flavoured with dandelion. It had a mild mocha flavour. Pretty good! We all looked worried when he said it was made with dandelion, but were all impressed. The owner is very knowledgeable and will allow you to sample any oil or vinegar in the store. The prices are higher than grocery stores, but you're here for the quality and you will definitely get it!
