The price was around $14 which was a little high for breakfast in Welland (the only reason they received 4 instead of 5 stars). They threw in some complimentary hashbrowns though which was super nice The staff overall were personable and friendly, you could tell they were engaged with their work and cared about creating a warm atmosphere. The decor was also weird and interesting, but in a more unique way than your typical hipster café There are plenty of dairy-free options for anyone with allergies (like myself) or dietary preferences. Vegan options are a little lacking in breakfast outside of avocado toast, but they seem to have many more available for lunch and dinner

One of my cousins has a bit of an obsession with natural sweeteners and scheduled a trip to White Meadows for us last weekend. It was a bit of a drive from our Finger Lakes Airbnb that involved a literal border crossing, but honestly was worth the trek. I wasn't sure what to expect beyond a deluge of maple leaf signs/flags, but I definitely left with an appreciation of the insane amount of work required to make this without using mass-produced corn syrup. We'd scheduled a tour, subsequent syrup tasting and charcuterie board for a 1:30pm start time. Not knowing what drama we might encounter at the border (there was absolutely none - deliciously uneventful; this isn't the border anyone gets particularly riled up about), we got here super early and had ample time to look around the gift shop. I barely considered the implications of the tariffs and didn't bother buying any maple syrup - understandably when I went to the farm's website later, it indicated they're not shipping to the US right now. That decision will haunt me for weeks and maybe months to come. Our guide was Nathan, who was an absolute superstar. I can't recommend this guy highly enough. He was engaging and knew how to talk about the science and concepts behind maple syrup and its cultivation on the farm in a way that was easily digestible but also very in-depth and informative. We were in a pretty inquisitive group, and he fielded a myriad of questions ably; I also liked that once or twice, he didn't know the answer and just said that - sadly a rarity in this day and age. But that didn't happen very often; Nathan knows maple syrup. The tour consists of a 10 to 15-minute discussion in one of the prep rooms near the gift shop (where most of the equipment and technical terminology is broken down), followed by a 10-minute tractor ride to the woods on the other side of the property to the tree-tapping area where the majority of the tour takes place, followed by a ride back to the starting point and a five-minute tasting of the four syrups made on the farm. One piece of constructive feedback - there were several young children there who were honestly a bit of a distraction. This is probably school age kid friendly but there were some very antsy toddlers (and even an infant) who just weren't old enough for this. I'd put a disclaimer up on the website that this isn't really appropriate for pups that young so the parents know ahead of time not to bother booking it. It is really wild seeing how much goes into creating maple syrup on a mom-and-pop farm like this. The intricate weaving of the taps/tubes throughout the forest leading to a storage tank out of site, and seeing how aggressive you have to be to take advantage of the very narrow window that sap can be harvested? Had no idea. If nothing else, you'll definitely come away from this being blown away by the syrup trade and the immense work required. You just never think about this stuff when you're at the diner pouring (not real) syrup onto your pancakes. The tasting and charcuterie were really good too - if you're already here, I'd spring for the charcuterie so you can sample the syrups and assorted meats/cheeses on a grander scale than just the tasting. The only annoying part were the yellowjackets constantly trying to get in on the fun (which I found out in Canada are more commonly referred to as wasps). I honestly have no idea how they can fix or alleviate that issue since by definition you're putting sweet/sugary stuff out on picnic tables, but might be worth troubleshooting down the line. Absolutely would recommend if you happen to be in the general Upstate NY area and have your passport handy. But make sure you actually buy the syrup there - I have no idea when I'm going to get a chance to sup on the Golden grade of syrup again.

I noticed The Donut Cafe was nearby and who can say no to a joint with a name like that? We showed up around 10:30 and the place was pretty empty. It's not a full-service restaurant; instead, you place your order and pay for it and then the food is brought to your table. I decided to try the Philly Steak Hash because how could I not? It arrived to the table piping hot and sure looked promising. And indeed, it's a decent concoction. The melted cheese and plentiful (and tender) beef was as delicious as you'd hope, while the almost insane amount of potatoes provided a good base for the whole thing. The ambiance was pretty cute and fun, but we were left scratching our heads over the lack of music. The place was dead silent, which made us feel a little awkward. Given the diner vibe, we figured there'd be '50s music playing or something. Other than that, The Donut Diner is a pretty cool place. The absence of actual donuts is fairly baffling, though.
